There are 'fix'es for that.

I think you missed the important part of what the previous poster said. "Here" which presumably means he is not in the USA. If he did try and order a SSD from Amazon chances are that between shipping charges, import taxes and any VAT the price could easily double or more. Otherwise I doubt he would have made the statement.

Not everyone is lucky enough to have cheap hardware readily available.

Which has happened more than once in China. It does get shut down when discovered but there's so much manufacturing going on there that the problem will just pop up in another area.

I'm not sure what the difference is between that world and one where women are expected to wear nail polish that detects GHB when ever they go out. Both assume that any man they meet (or are even in the same room in) while drinking anything from water to alcohol could be a rapist so you have to test your drink every time it is out of sight. While both methods will keep you safe(r) they clearly make assumptions about the world they live in.

I know that date rape and the usage of GHB occurs but it is so common it makes sense to test every drink that a woman gets outside of their home?

So we can remove all windows because they clearly aren't structural since the building will remain standing without any windows. Oh, the doors can go too since they clearly aren't structural.

That's the strange thing about the No Fly list. If the people are dangerous and they find out they can't fly (which could really only be because they were on the No Fly list) then wouldn't that make them more likely to do something. Hell, it's the sort of thing that is going to anger someone who wasn't dangerous and had no inclinations to hurt anyone. Sure, they likely still won't hurt anyone but suddenly protesting and fighting against the power of the government doesn't seem that outrageous when the govt. is clearly fighting against them.

Also, if the government truly is afraid of an actual threat by an individual don't they have an entirely separate list (like the BOLOs) that tells law enforcement officers to not only watch out for these individuals but apprehend them.

What's the point of a no-fly list when the individual can travel by other means to another country and then fly on to where ever they wish. Sure they can't fly into or out of a US destination but isn't the rest of the world open to them? It seems the only thing a no-fly list is really for is to stop someone from taking over a plane and if someone is really at risk of doing that shouldn't they be in jail or at least under constant watch so a No Fly list isn't need?

Actually I think they will do that. It's either properly identify or turn off the transponder so there's no identifying signal. Setting up your military planes to identify as civilian is a sure way to get your civilian planes shot out of the sky and completely unnecessary when you can just fail to ID your plane as anything.

How is it sleazy when what Netflix was wanting to do is make it easier for Comcast customers to get what they desired. Netflix wasn't sending any data on their own. They only send down the video streams when a customer (in this case only Comcast customers) request data.

What Netflix really wanted to do was set up a server farm inside Comcast's network to supply Comcast customers the video streams they wanted. It only makes business sense because Comcast is so large. That way Netflix could send down new movies/shows once to Comcast over the crowded Internet lines and then have the Comcast customers get their videos from the servers on Comcast's network.

The problem happens that the link between Cogent and Comcast is always flooded because Comcast wants Cogent to pay for peering. Netflix uses Cogent to connect with the Internet so all of their traffic to Comcast customers (that they requested) was going through the congested Cogent Comcast links. Ideally Comcast would upgrade the links when they become congested because the congestion happens due to Comcast customers requesting more data from Cogent customers but Comcast saw this as a way to get paid from twice from both ends of the connection so they didn't upgrade the Cogent network connections and it worked. Netflix is paying them and Comcast customers

Though one could say that Apple was the first to bring the GUI to the general public. Xerox had the GUI first but they didn't have an interest in taking it to the general public. I played around with one of their systems and they had all the hooks there to make it a success if they brought the cost down and tried to sell it to more people but for some reason they kept coming up with great ideas but not wanting to take it to the world.

That's what a freezer is for. I can remember growing up we had one of those that was always full of frozen meat and veggies. My dad would pick up a whole or half cow (pre-cut and packaged) from one of the local butchers. Much cheaper than buying it piece meal from the local grocery store.

That may be but the OP's point still stands. Cars are the problem and there's really only one easy way for a city to control the amount of cars entering a city. Limit the parking.

I'm not saying it's the right thing to do but it's likely the most effective. If I know that it may take me an hour to find a parking spot then I'm going to look for another solution. Either not going to that area or traveling via cab/bus/subway/bicycle/walking. Basically anything but a car.

He could have worked around that by downloading at a slower rate. If you are downloaded a lot at one time it's going to draw attention but if he downloaded at a slower rate (say an article every ten minutes) then it isn't likely to draw that much attention.

They are 'at will' employees. The VPs and senior managers are likely under detail contracts but the people doing the actual work will be regular employees. Well paid but still employees that can be released at any moment (in most states.)

That doesn't agree with what I've read. Supposedly Nvidia is running behind schedule but it isn't their fault. The problem is that TSMC can't deliver on their promises so everything is being pushed out. Ideally both AMD and Nvidia would have 20NM (or what TSMC calls 20NM) GPUs out on the market already but TSMC has had issues with bringing 20NM production online. That's forcing everyone using them to rethink their planned introduction of new products.

I agree the colors look the same in both pictures. However, both multi-meters are clearly labeled with the company name and have a very different layout. So it is hard to see how someone would confuse a Sparkfun with a Fluke. I'm not sure why there is an issue here since the two are clearly different and the idea of trademarking color seems a bit absurd.
