Obligatory XKCD

What is it for?

No really......
You have told us how you *think* you want to communicate, but not what information you are communicating.

The first step of any IT problem is to adapt your ideas to fit users needs........... not adapt users needs to fit your ideas.

So, you are saying that Picasso only ever painted pictures to make cash?
That Michael Jackson only danced to make money?
That Mary Shelly only wrote Frankenstein to make a few extra notes?

I can assure you many people are driven by more than money......
I mean, have you ever wondered why kids climb trees?

Hmmmmm
I don't suppose by any chance, you vote republican?

Eh ?
Look mate....... All the truly great music, anything from Beethoven to the Rolling Stones, sounds very simple, but when you break it down you realise it's actually very complex.

Prog Rock on the other hand, sounds very complex, but when you break it down you realise it's moronic. :-)

Arthur C Clarke predicted this first.

In Profiles of the Future, he pointed out that within my lifetime, it would become a serious offence to drive a car yourself on a public road..... and not have a computer drive for you.

Of course, racetracks would still exist for Freudian reasons :-)
However, operating a car manually on public roads will undoubtedly become an offence equivalent to drunk driving. Whether you agree or disagree with Dr Clarkes time-line, you have to agree, that this IS what will happen in years to come.

In the mean time, get on the phone to Virgin now and complain.

Oh and lameass filter, fuck off with too many junk characters OK?
Do I have to type this bollocks to dilute the number of junk characters
in one post or something. FFS I've wrote worse code and that is saying something. Feck arse drink girls feck arse drink girls feck arse drink

That's like a lessee changing the locks and locking a landlord out of their apartment.

I can assure you, this is quite normal and perfectly legal behaviour in the UK and indeed, much of Europe. Whilst you are renting, you have exclusive access, and the landlord would be committing an act of trespass if they entered your apartment without your permission and 24hrs notice. (Except in an emergency obviously).

In some parts of Scotland, the landlord might also get a smack in the mouth into the bargain :-)

Similarly, I can think of plenty of examples where only exclusive access to a hosted server would be acceptable (perhaps even legal), due to strict security or data protection requirements.

We are more laid back in the UK. No US style special ops truckers armed to the teeth for us :o)

So you could end up with a government that literally tells you when to pee, for health reasons.

Nice troll.
Norway significantly outranks the US on the Democracy Index.
As do all the Nordic countries for that matter..... all with the strong Nordic healthcare & welfare systems in place.

Have you thought of using internet over mains wiring?

"It's as if millions of Radio Hams suddenly cried out in terror and were suddenly silenced."

Broadband over power line wipes out short wave radio.

Arthur C Clarkes "Profiles of the Future" is the last word on this.
First published in 1962, it's predictions are amazingly accurate. It is a must for any geek bookshelf and I'm amazed so few have read it.

The (few!) things he did get wrong, he followed up in later editions of the book along with good explanations as to why that particular technology came about sooner / later than he predicted.

There is an excellent article about the book given in the Guardian Newspaper
http://www.guardian.co.uk/science/2011/mar/04/profiles-future-arthur-clarke-review
It is a fun book, much recommended.

I'd post a link to Amazon..... but I'd rather you buy a copy from your local independent bookshop :-)

Dude.
Your average geek is dyslexic. How the fuck am I supposed to spell that lot?
Esp after necking a bottle of wine?

detect and evade sentries, and send reconnaissance information back to the good guys.

......I don't think it means what you think it means.

"I am a board member of a newly started association that are going to build fiber-optic network in rural Sweden."

That is interesting.
I seam to recall that Finland (with a similar low rural population density) was committed to providing broadband for all it's citizens. Has Sweden done the same and/or do you get any other support from the Swedish government?

I would suggest broadband is as important for economic growth as a functioning road/rail network. I'm surprised so few governments are putting up public money where appropriate.

"... is restricted to P2P applications and Newsgroups (which are commonly used to distribute large amounts of data)."
