That is an interesting extreme, but between now and then is this particular problem: Peak energy usage in sunny states in the middle of the summer in the middle of the day when the people are at work and the AC is on- required power plants to be much larger than that average power usage to support peak usage.

There are somethings VirtualBox sucks at compared to even kvm, but, basick workstation stuff seems to work great! I'd question weather or not you had enough ram, or installed the guest additions (for video integration).

PR. Amazon doesn't want to be perceived as "too dangerous to use".

AC says "wifi", but also- everyone's data plan is different. I go for under 1GB per/month so yeah, I predownload everything, but I have friends with [nearly] unlimited plans on competitive (not at&t/verizon) carriers

hahahahahahha, burn

That is not a valid use case to trump adopting new standards. Especially for a tech site. No work place stuck on internet explorer 6 because of intranet applications should be allowing you to use that same browser to access the general world wide web. I've worked for a range of places as a consultant over the last year, and the oldest in use is IE9 (windows 7). I have a friend still stuck on XP and so they have IE8; but that is clearly a massive mistake these days to be using that computer in the net.

Have you ever looked into that? the logic is kind of funny. The idea is that a person that smart would [probably] not want to be a career police officer. So, it isn't worth training someone who they are predicted will leave the job.

thank you.

"Trust but verify" is the tag line around here.

Troll? I just thought it was funny. Obviously any coder knows that number of commits/patches doesn't necessarily make software better or worse...

What? Common usage as influenced by the people who make money convincing you to think that way maybe...

I believe in fair laws, and if you equate theft with copying you do society a disservice.

Modern communications has come a long way since then; it is probably possible to contain that communication to a known band and not spill into neighboring ones. Especially because one of the few times HAM is still relevant is in local emergence communications (when cell is down / overloaded)

So, is it because they have to, or is it because they want a Highscore?

Public opinion always matters. Now I don't mean our little tech-y corner of the internet, but once you start to get like 70% of america on the same page about something- there is real power behind that non-legal opinion. After all- laws can be changed
