Telling the police that you intend to break the law does not mean you won't be punished appropriately when you do so. In fact, it will increase the punishment because your premeditation is demonstrable.

This is literally various similar projects (PNaCL, asm.js, etc) being merged into one industry-wide project. And by literally I mean the PNaCL and asm.js teams are working on WebAssembly.

Because not every rocket launch is successful.

It's exactly as I suggest:

So a single PHP file on slashdot.org would label it as "powered by PHP" despite everything else on the site being in perl.

forums.mysite.com might use PHP, but that doesn't mean that www.mysite.com is "powered by PHP". But their stats count it as such.

In short, they treat PHP like a virus: *ANY* evidence of PHP on an entire TLD labels the entire TLD as "powered by PHP".

PHP does not power 80% of the web, it is merely present on at least one server behind 80% of TLDs. That's not the same thing.

It was convenient, because it added a bunch of features to IE. As you said, it added a search box to IE long before URL-bar searching was a thing, but it also allowed search term highlighting, a popup blocker, form auto-fill, in-browser spellcheck, etc. All of this is built-in to web browsers today, but back in the day, the Google Toolbar was legitimately useful.

IIRC the SpaceX satellites will feature electric propulsion, but there is very little drag at 1,100km. Without using any propulsion, they wouldn't fully decay for a few dozen millennia.

I'm in Canada, I'm observing that over the past 7 years, caps have gone down, prices have gone up. Average speed is meaningless when the ratio between cap and what's theoretically possible is 20,000 to 1.

Why? When comparing performance per watt, the single-threaded score of a multi-threaded part is irrelevant.

You tell me, you're the one who brought it up... I made a post complaining that over the past 7 years, transfer caps have gone down while speeds have gone up, and you started on about average speeds.

No need to incur crippling debt, just attend university in Montreal. We won't let you do it as cheap as somebody from Quebec, but you'll still pay a fraction as much as in the US. McGill is pretty reputable, although we've got less pretentious options too, like Concordia.

Huh? There hasn't been a truly unlimited service offering in Canada since before the smartphone era...

A 6GB "Max" plan from Fido (Rogers) costs $80 in Quebec, but it's a voice and data plan. Back in 2008, the 6GB data plan was $30, and then you'd pay another $30 for your voice plan and $10 for your value pack. That's $70. So a new plan is $10 more today than it was in 2008.

When did I say average transfer was more important than peak rates? Most people have 2GB caps on their phone service, and their 150Mbps phones can blow through that cap in under two minutes. Is that not a bit silly? That your monthly service can only be used for around 107 seconds per month?
