I doubt you'll find a 10 cent Ethernet cable of that length. Regardless any $5 cat-5 compliant ethernet cable will produce exactly the same sound as this $10000 cable. And I do mean a bit for bit identical and totally indistinguishable by ear or machine. The only exception would be if they use that cable to transmit analog signals instead of Ethernet data.

Individual electrons are not data. That company claims the data travels in only one direction but that would prevent TCP from working and also cause the cable to fail the Ethernet requirements. So either calling it an Ethernet cable is a lie, or claiming data travels in only one direction is a lie. So either way they lied and that's no hyperbole.

I doubt this company has deep enough pockets to buy protection from their politicians.

No. ISPs don't get any money from spammers, quite the contrary. Spammers are a nuisance to ISPs.

Photons are their own antiparticle so that part is easy. However, being massless photons are hardly matter.

The ones that Charlie Hebdo republished in support of free speech or their own? All of them? Even this one which only denounces extremists?

So? Are you saying that denouncing religious extremism would be outlawed by the same law that allowed religious nuts to disrupt the funerals of thousands of gay soldiers with insults like "Thank God for dead soldiers",

So what he should have said is that Charlie Hebdo should be commended for continuing to denounce the extremists of all religions who would distort these faiths to justify their intolerance and thirst for violence, this while knowing full well the personal risks this exposed them to. But instead he relayed the terrorists' message: "You cannot provoke. You cannot insult the faith of others. You cannot make fun of the faith of others.".

That's your personal interpretation. They criticized extremists of all religions

The goal of a satirical publication is not just humor but also to get some messages across. And while I don't particularly like Charlie Hebdo in general, some of their drawings make pretty good points.

That's a lie: here are pages of Charlie Hebdo caricatures of Jesus and Moise. They even made a Shoah Hebdo edition just like they did a Charia Hebdo one.

Charlie Hebdo's only source of income was its readership. And suggesting they were funded by politicians really shows you have no idea what you're talking about.

So you're saying that all it takes is a couple of murderers for you to cave in and give up on fundamental rights like freedom of speech? Do you really think they will stop there if they are successful? Did you really think you could pass this off as a reasonable solution?

I will then: “If my good friend Dr. Gasparri says a curse word against my mother, he can expect a punch," Francis said, throwing a pretend punch at Gasparri.
This pretend punch makes his statement very ambiguous as it looks like this is how he would react.

His next statement is totally unambiguous however: "You cannot provoke. You cannot insult the faith of others. You cannot make fun of the faith of others." That's precisely the terrorists' point.

He also "threw a pretend punch at Gasparri" which makes his statement very ambiguous as it makes it look like this is how he would react.

Furthermore he spoke against freedom of speech, unambiguously this time: "You cannot provoke. You cannot insult the faith of others. You cannot make fun of the faith of others." This is precisely the point of the terrorists.

So you're saying muslims should have no issue with Mohammed's caricatures. Or are they really worried true believers will start to pray to Charlie Hebdo's front pages?

Then let me help you in in this very difficult search.

You will have to be a lot more specific for your assertion to carry any weight.

There have already been attempts to sell votes in the US even though no one can prove how they voted. Once you make it possible to verify the temptation to sell and the pressure from the buyers is going to be that much greater. And making it illegal is not likely to be more effective than for drugs.

Read the paper. It's 1958, not 1900. So it's not like it's old history. And at that time Chile had had a democracy for 26 years already. Also I think you greatly overestimate the health of the US democratic process: how long has it been since a party other than the Republicans or the Democrats has been in power?

So what do people who don't need hand holding need tax software or CPAs for?
Grownups who can actually take care of themselves report their income directly to the 'IRS', either on paper for neanderthals or online for homo sapiens. Isn't it only little kids who still live with their parents who need someone else to do everything for them?

There are many professional elections that have switched to online voting in France and every time the E-Voting proponents trumpeted the turnout boost this would no doubt bring. Unfortunately they have essentially been wrong every time.
