Because if it was the case, then apple could say that sumsung were trying to make their tab look more like the ipad in the promo material to sell more.
US is not another availability zone -- it's a different region. There are multiple AZs per region and -- if Amazon is doing their job -- a lightning strike should not take down more than one AZ in a region.
Correct, except that it was only one availability zone that went down. That AZ maps to one of 3 different labels for different customers. For us it was eu-west-1a, for one of our customers, it was eu-west-1b. The AZs did their job exactly as they were supposed to.
I think every mobile phone I've owned in close to a decade has had a built-in email client.
Which on a personal phone, is fine for your personal mail. Not work work email as well.
And on the ones I've used (Ranging from motorola e770v to a sony erricson with android 2.1) have not handled high quantities or sizes of messages well.
You don't have to use your hardware my way, just like I don't have to use my hardware your way. You have to be careful with sweeping statements like the one posted a few posts back. They rarely bare any resemblance to reality, but not always. For if you were to tell me that sitting on tacks is not fun, I'd be inclined to agree with you.... Darn, I can think of someone who would disagree (no seriously!).
Web mail is for homeless people to use in libraries
Are you trolling? Or are you serious?
I recently broke my collar bone and am frequently visiting the hospital. Web mail is one more valuable tools I can use to keep working on my phone while I wait for my appointment that is running late because the health system is over loaded. It's also great on an over-crowded train where a laptop simply isn't viable.
Without having read the article, I imagine the aim is to give the companies something they will have to compete with, which they can be held to. They have to compete on it because if their numbers are lower than someone else's, then that is a disadvantage. But if their numbers are higher they have to follow through.
While we can be pedantic about the words in a summary, it's probably missing the point.
I like your thoughts on the avg and max speeds as well.
How they are saved depends on the distro. If you use something like Fedora before this, then whether using a gui or command line, you are effectively editing a file and then reload that file by restarting a sudo service. If you use something like gentoo, then it saves your firewall on shutdown or at your request.
Irrelevant to the context of this thread. But if you want, this is what "reloading the whole firewall" refers to.
I guess you replied before you got to the third sentence?

The DBUS stuff to have apps make requests is potentially very cool, I really hope it's well thought out though...
I've seen someone go through this and despite having video evidence in his favour (that the police saw at the start), the police continued for 2 years and eventually lost. But not before racking up enough legal costs to take several years to pay off. The police don't have to win to do severe damage. If someone is on a blind crusade, they can do one hell of a lot of financial damage and damage to his reputation before they run out of options.
This case is less cut and dry. It will be harder to prove, and harder to defend since it's about intentions rather than an act. But I suspect for the police, that's not the point.
What the world *really* needs is a good Automatic Bicycle Sharpener.
