Torrents are designed to have many points sending small amounts of data. It's not for giant pseudo-servers. With lots of people, net downloads should be almost as fast.

Hell if you ran the software self-throttling uploads, we'd never have these issues.

Or that they're frozen on or otherwise stuck. Stuff sitting on a table, shelf, or floor gets stuck there by other crud.

Say what now?

Good job promoting it.

"I'm sorry, sir. I cannot unstick the pages because you let the barf dry."

That just increases the pool of potential firelings.

A Politically Correct Recipe For Success:

"We need to increase diversity not for racist remediation, but because diversity increases quality of product and rate of invention in this bleeding-edge tech area. COMMENCE FIRING WHITE MALE ENGINEERS!"

Actually...

> 55% White
> 6% Black

White: 72% of population
Black: 12% of population

White: 17% underrepresented
Black: 6% underrepresented

I assume they will be hiring three white people for every black person. Well, white chicks that is.

> 50 cents per GiB

I prefer to think of it as 0.0007 cents per body part closeup.

2 Gig
Same processor, maybe small speed bump
4.7 Super amoled, scarcely larger than my 3 year old phone
Concern about superficialities like plastic vs. metal case

May be time to move on from Samsung.

I just hope the damned thing lasts longer than the current micro POS, which has difficulties with thoisands of connect-disconnect cycles and the occasional bump.

I heard none of the ultranerd devs had a tightly-coupled mammary.

I assure ypu, Democrats do not want to open the can of worms of "who grants the most rent-seeking" laws and red tape to protect interests.

That's why they seek power in both parties. To get in the way to benefit someone, or extort someone.

So if I live in a "one-party consent" state, I can just record without notifying?

It also says California's Supreme Court ruled that if you talked to someone in California (an "all-party consent" state) you needed the CA guy's permission. How can they enforce that? Extradite? Do other states honor that or do they have their own balls?

Why? Because programmers don't design products -- they throw wrappers around APIs.

Usability testing? Wuuuuuuut?

Government claims it is drug money. They get to take items used in crime (e.g. a knife in someone's back) even if they never catch, arrest, try, or much less convict someone.

Don't like it? Contact your congressman and mandate it be returned absent real, solid evidence of a crime. If they can't arrest (much less convict) the person carrying it, there is no crime.

I recall a case 10 years ago where a cop on Cops or a similar show, pulled over a Mexican family and found $8000 in cash in a tire in the trunk. They took it as drug money and let them go. (Remember they come from a vorrupt country where something like that is normal corruption.)

Some in Congress stamped their little foots and wondered why no one arrested the cop for theft. Not much happened, I'm guessing.

Who are you talking to? What do you gain by having an imaginary conversation with someone that you're pretending has said something that nobody said?

All domestic dogs are the same species. Just like all humans. But let me guess: you aren't willing to refer to Standard Poodles, or Chihuahuas, or English Pointers as breeds, right?

Why ignore that? I chose those specifically because - despite the serious melting-pot stuff of the last 100+ years or so - those PLACES have also been home to readily identifiable large groups of people who share very obvious genetic traits.

But, inconveniently, it's also a perfectly reasonable way to look at a large group and say, "Wow, that group of several million people sure do have a LOT in common, genetically."

Yes, just like most know cases similar to the family with 3 smart kids and 1 much less smart one.
