I'm waiting for the full cybereye replacement... I want to be able to wirelessly control them through my PAN, and get flare-comp and smartlink installed too... but I think I have to wait about 50-60 years for that...

maybe get an occular drone too while I'm at it.

actually the visa fees are usually transparent to the customer, and every company i've ever known pays them out of their profits, which is why some smaller stores once upon a time charged a fee for credit card transactions... So the visa fees impact their bottom line. The credit card fees are also a major factor in the number of stores issuing their own credit cards,

less wasted time and fuel on empty cabs...

How do you get that from them demanding NETFLIX pay AT&T for the right to provide AT&T customers with their service?
It's not about AT&T customers footing the bill, it's about NETFLIX footing the bill... which is not right.

Speaking of which there is no free streaming being requested, the customers are ALREADY PAYING FOR IT... what difference is streaming 2GB of video vs downloading a 2 GB ISO?

yet they claim there is a difference. Even though I paid for that 2 GB ISO just as I paid Netflix for my monthly subscription. I'm not expecting Valve, Microsoft or any 3rd party to pay my ISP for the right for me to download a file. I expect them to pay THEIR ISP for the bandwidth I use to get the file from their servers to my computer.

Netflix has never claimed to want data caps removed, they want traffic throttling removed. Specifically they want ISPs to stop throttling traffic coming from them as they are doing now. Net Neutrality has nothing to do with Caps, and everything to do with throttling.

good point, See Dewalt... they have a trademark on their design as well which also includes a Yellow color scheme.

(from http://www.dewalt.com/) The following are trademarks for one or more DEWALT Power Tools and Accessories: The yellow and black color scheme; the "D"-shaped air intake grill; the array of pyramids on the handgrip; the kit box configuration; and the array of lozenge-shaped humps on the surface of the tool.

SparkFun and Fluke aren't even in the same league though, their customer bases are completely different. that's like saying Ferarri giving Chevrolet 30 cars to do with as they wish because of a mix-up on something that cost chev 300 cars, and Ferarri out of the goodness of their hearts (aka for good PR) gives them free cars, suddenly those 30 ferarris are going to reduce demand of Chevs?

of course not. the Market for people who buy Ferarris, is not the same as the guys who buy Chevs. same with the guys who buy Fluke Meters, and Cheap Chinese Meters... two completely different markets, two completely different price points. Why would I pay $400+ for a Fluke Multimeter when I can get a cheap one for $9.99 that meets my needs? And the other side of the coin, why pay $9.99 for one that doesn't meet my needs when I need the features and functionality of the $400+ Fluke? Two completely separate markets, now the higher end will always have the PWTMM (people with too much money) who go Meh, I can afford the $400 Fluke, I'll buy that instead of the $9.99 one, even though I'll only ever use 1% of what the cheap one can do, and way less than what the fluke can do... They are competitors in the same way Ferarri competes with Chevrolet. Someone who wants a Ferarri isn't going to consider a Chevrolet, and a guy looking at Chevrolet, is going to look longingly at the Ferarri, and then buy the Chevrolet, because he can't afford to have a car worth more than his house.

Yeah SparkFun lost a lot of money. It's not going to bankrupt them though, and they were willing to eat the loss, and they sell other products as well. All this does, is probably ends up giving them a charitable tax deduction for donating them to schools and other charitable organizations, which will help them a little bit with the loss of money come tax time. Also, this whole incident has brought them into a lot more people's minds, I personally have never heard of them. Now I know they're a electronic hobbyist company. I'm not their target market, although to be fair I have always wanted a fluke multimeter, just never wanted to pay the price for one.... I'm using my $9.99 Canadian Tire brand multimeter for all my multimeter needs. But if I were and hadn't heard of them, now I have. maybe I'd even send some business their way because I know they exist.

Also why would selling them damage their line of business? Which as near as I can tell is as a cheap knockoff reseller targeting hobbyists getting into the hobby, based on previous comments about their other product lines being cheap knockoffs too. It may open them up to a new market as a reseller for Fluke. Assuming they could strike a deal with Fluke to continue to be able to sell Fluke products. I highly doubt it's a slap in the face, nor was it intended as a slap in the face. you really have to reach to get there from what fluke did. Especially when they didn't HAVE to do anything since they didn't DO anything other than apply and get a trademark many years ago...

GO!
seriously how long until someone claims that this happens every 35 million years and the clock is ticking down to Nov 10, 2016.

note: The only example the OP has about this is google maps which is not a banking site.

most proxies have a built in (often on by default) passthrough for SSL to banking, health, and finance sites. which bypasses the MITM scanning of the financial, health and banking sites.

Also most proxies don't have a method of actually seeing what was decrypted. it's generally decrypted scanned, and passed through, and discarded. no logging of personal info. other than authenticated username (domain credentials, so information the company already knows) and the site you went to.

actually there already is one

Belkin purchased Linksys from Cisco last year. Linksys no longer has ties to Cisco, thus the unpossible is now possible.

and Belkin routers have a lovely feature that lets you schedule an automatic reboot so that you don't have to manually do it anymore... Rather than fixing the firmware problem that requires the frequent reboots.

actually it sounds like they're offering a partnership, not permissions. you need NASA's permission to launch from their facilities, use their resources, and work with them on getting there and back.

China didn't need permission for Jade Rabbit, so I think this is just for american companies to work WITH NASA, not in competition with NASA...

My commute is now a 15 minute jaunt on the highway to work, this is not by design, nor is it because I moved closer. (In fact 8 years ago I moved farther away from my current place of employment) back then I had a 30 minute commute, and I suppose if I was still living in that one bedroom apartment (with two kids would be hell) I'd have a 10 minute commute as opposed to the 15...

I drive mostly to and from work, other times, not so much.

Gas prices actually around here gas prices have gone up slightly in the past 10 years, but really, when a look on the historical gas price list. in 2004 gas was roughly 70c/l it was 2005 when gas first peaked 100c/l, this morning it was a comfortable 99.7c/l on my drive in to work. So gas prices are slightly higher, but not as bad as they were 5 years ago, and my salary in the same time has more than doubled. It's settled down. hasn't hit 130 in a long time.

Shopping has become less of a hassle as well. It used to be that when I wanted to buy a new motherboard, it took driving around to about 3-4 different stores to get pricing because not every store had an up to date website. that's greatly improved in the past 10 years, same with shopping for furniture, TVs, etc. What used to be a 10 stop shopping trip is usually down to 1-2 now.

10 years ago I was also single, online dating wasn't really all that big yet, so if I wanted to meet someone I had to go out and cruise around. heck back when I was a teenager that was the primary way to meet girls. Now a lot of people meet people online. heck I met my wife of 8 years online. Also I no longer have to drive as much to go on dates with my wife, as we live together. so that's another.

Also entertainment. it used to be more entertaining to go to the mall, the theatre, whatever the kids of the area did to hang out and usually ended up driving there. now, it's more why drive to hang out, we can hangout online and chat online. so no need for physical contact anymore. (which is another study's results that there isn't enough person-person contact with teenagers anymore.

frankly. There has been a lot of societal changes in the last 10 years, and a lot of that results in less driving. plus the whole recession that hit in 2008, kinda put a damper on being able to afford a car in your teenage years.

It's hard to consistantly and accurately measure weight when the force of gravity constantly changes, add to the fact that there may be radioactive decay of trace elements, oxidation of metals, Dust/erosion, sublimation of trace components), it's easy to understand how using a physical object to consistantly measure a weight, would fluxuate. when your "constants" are actually "variables" it's really hard to nail down constants...
