Then anything not negotiated for the entire EU market will disappear from the EU view of the service. The publisher will get zero hits and thus zero royalties. If the publisher wants to continue collecting royalties from the service, it will have to negotiate with the service for the rest of the EU market.

Under this initiative, the Spanish firm would just have to grant an EU-wide license to the Catalan and Spanish language translations of a work.

So which URL for a given resource is canonical to be listed in indexes and shared with other users of the Internet: the one with or without cookies? Your answer to this will help me phrase my next question.

OAuth 2 uses bearer tokens, which behave like cookies. Is OAuth 2 considered "RESTful"?

By being the only wired ISP in the area and bragging that its caps are higher than those of sat and cell.

Let me know when "properly implemented multicasting" functions over the Internet, not just a private LAN.

There is if you keep all your comments in Preview state until you're ready to post them all.

And collects how much from local advertisers? Cable operators are allowed to preempt a small number of commercials each hour.

Yet. In some countries, ISPs pay a tax to "compensate for piracy", which they pass on to users. (Source)

Besides, even now, ISPs have to pay Disney for access to ESPN3, which is sold to ISPs, not to end users.

Citilink buses in Fort Wayne, Indiana, do not offer Wi-Fi. They don't even run at night or on Sundays, to give you a sense of the system's scope. I currently happen not to subscribe to mobile Internet access, and even if I did, the carrier would likely charge twice: once for a phone and the tethering surcharge for a Chromebook. And how much data does your preferred web-based IDE use per hour? I don't want to end up paying for overages.

So do I. But my day job is at an office with wired Internet. The hobby programming projects that I work on using my laptop while riding the bus to and from work require only intermittent access to the Internet, as I have downloaded API docs for use locally.

If there is no way to write and test code on an offline Chromebook, then switching from my present laptop to a Chromebook would either cost me hundreds of dollars per year or force me to find something else to do for an hour and a half a day.

Does a Chromebook offer a way to write and test code offline, other than through Crouton?

[puts down his Pepsi Max to type a reply]

Sorry, I drink Pepsi.

A lot of people would disagree with you in the case of live sporting events. One well-known example is the College Football Championship Game on ESPN. How should we convince people that it is acceptable to watch the big game a week after the fact?

Not even the prospect that someone with the correct skill set will be ready to apply for a position a few months down the line?

Provided your device's RAM slots aren't already filled with the largest stick that your device can take. And provided your device even has RAM slots at all; a lot of smaller mobile PCs nowadays have soldered-on RAM.

But unless you go the Crouton route, what are you SSHing to? If you have your Chromebook open on the bus, you don't have an Internet connection unless you're paying for a mobile broadband plan. And you still have to pay to lease a server on which to run your "web based IDE and an SSH client".

Then maybe you should promote these extensions to work's IT department as security tools, citing the use of Flash ads as drive-by Trojan droppers.
