It's actually designed to keep the Lib Dems in power for the full term, whatever happens. The Lib Dems could still form a coalition with Labour & all the smaller parties (assuming they'd agree), if they decide to split the current coalition, without having another general election.
surely the clue is in the name. copyright laws refer to the right to copy a creative work. if no copying occurred...
The problem is the digging up roads bit, that's quite costly if you want to create your own infrastructure to supply residential internet. It's so costly that it's a natural monopoly, the market is actually much more efficient if it's supplied by a monopoly provider, rather than having 10 different companies digging up everybody's roads. Rural connections are unprofitable too.
So, I'd suggest a nationalised monopoly on the conduit that carries underground cables. Open access to any private company that wants to run fibre or other cables through that conduit to provide services to consumers, auction the space inside the conduit.
Also, Network Neutrality is absolute nonsense, it'd break the internet & I'm speaking as a small web content creator.
Arbitrage trading is a possible application for very accurate timing in financial markets. That is the mechanism that eliminates arbitrage & it creates more liquidity in the markets, as well as more stable & accurate prices.
By imposing a minimum time limit to hold onto stock, you'd prevent a lot of arbitrage trading, which would create more arbitrage. It'd greatly reduce the liquidity in the markets too, making it harder for everybody to buy & sell.
that's why we have the gpl.
I find desks facing the wall makes it easier to collaborate with other developers, because you can all easily see each other's screens. Do you have paranoia issues? I really can't see the problem with facing the wall.
With desks in the middle of the room & developers facing each other, it becomes much harder to work together. To show a colleague something, they have to leave their desk & walk around to see your screen.
sorry, better wiki link here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Price_discrimination
it can only occur because of a lack of competition in the market.
In that case, they should reduce the price of their top end chips until supply meets demand. The reason they don't do that, is because some people have more money than others, it's a duopoly (so no really aggressive competition) & they can charge more for the higher end chips if they mark some down at a lower speed (or core count).
They just want to extract the most cash possible from people that want the higher end chips, they couldn't do that if they were charging a fair free market price. So they have to mark some as lower end chips, so that they can still sell to people with less money to spend, without damaging their top end market.
Corn is artificially cheap (especially in the us) because of massive us government subsidies for growing corn. Sugar, or glucose syrup would be cheaper than corn syrup otherwise. Corn syrup is almost unheard of here in the UK & the rest of Europe.
easy, that's fascism.
do openoffice or gimp run at all on an ipad? any real alternatives?
I think you should do a google search for "rainbow tables", then stop using md5 for storing password hashes.
