That's not science, it's policy. We can't get going on policy until we at least resolve that something is wrong.

I think phase changes on a universal scale is an amazing thing to ponder.

because my router sucks, and with more walls between me and the router, by bandwidth drops severely.

SMB streams 1080P stuff fine across my network, as long as I'm close to the router. 720P is damn good anywhere in the house. Been doing it for a long time, most lately on my Nexus 7 and my GBox MX2.

Why didn't god make them rainbow colored?

Surprised he didn't privatize it.

What bothers me is the additional revenue this will generate for AT&T may entice Sprint to go the same route by ending unlimited LTE and going to caps and metering. It's just another enticement. I'm digging my Sprint service just as it is.

Piracy may have added more revenue than was 'lost' by the download. You'll never see the real numbers though to know either way or the other.

And that's why I don't have the balls to be President. Personally, I think the solution is keep the capability but somehow rigidly enforce a real, transparent review process. Demonizing Bush and Obama isn't helping here. We should be more mature than that. We should be fixing the problem.

wild guess here, but he's probably talking about the American People.

I'm pretty sure I would have kept my mouth shut. The worst thing you can do is make it easier for the feds. But who knows, I've never been arrested on those charges and had a shitton of bitcoins seized.

You forgot the ones prostituting themselves to corporate interests and various political parties

To my wife, anyone who speaks spanish is Mexican. To her Mother, anyone who speaks Spanish is Spanish. My wife accepts correction when necessary, but after a long life of messing it up, I don't bother with my Mother-in-law.

Scientists wonder a lot of things. That's the point of science. Fortunately the state of tech has advanced significantly since then, and they can wonder about things closer to current reality. Also, speculating about earth without greenhouse gases is pointless - we'd not exist if earth had no greenhouse gases. There's a balance/cycle of balances and the question is how far off we've hosed up the balance.

One example of XP machines that generally don't get updates is ATM's.
