Hey, if Canada values oil, gas etc so much that it is willing to poop all over the environment, then, yeah, 3rd world country - sorry if that upsets your view of your homecountry.

It kind of is when the companies are known not to plug the holes properly once they're done with an area. It's a problem in my province, which has caused some uproar, justifiably.
So fracking is not bad, if the companies doing it aren't bad, but because the companies in whichever 3rd world country you live in are not subject to regulations and/or control, fracking is bad
Is the "Redundant" mod a +1, or a -1?
After moving to Belgium, I took drivers-lessons, just to be sure I caught the main differences (legal etc) between back home and Belgium.
By the 2nd session, I was getting nervous because of the comments made by the instructors (there were 2, alternating) about how I was doing things in traffic, that they completely had forgotten, like checking blind spots before turning...
Yeah, even their instructors are incompetent, no wonder the drivers are dangerous.
The array covers over 3000km. I doubt trenching fiber to every resident in that area would be cheap at all.
Since it appears to be a line, can't be too expensive

There is a slight issue here: Not everything is completely lacking in security, in the IoT world.
Yes, there is likely a HUGE PILE of stuff out there, where security is flawed beyond repair, on devices doing critical things, but there are also companies that at least try to make safe equipment and have their gear reviewed.
So, before we reject all things IoT, how about we start by accepting those shown to be decent?
*Cue observations about nothing corporate is decent*
you "could of had one" ?
Sorry, English is not my native language, why do you have the word "of" doing in that structure?
so, British?
Seems you're correct, and I remembered wrong - 811 megs physical reported by free
Still, my argument stands: The device works OK, outside of Android apps, and 2.0 gig is the lowest they could get away with
Turns out, 2.0 gig is also the highest the CPU on the tablet can handle.
Saved cost, by going with a chip that wasn't heavily subsidized by Intel? I don't think so.
The HW specs are pretty much centered around the Intel® Atom Processor Z3735F, that was offered to them at (supposedly) dumping-prices.

Basically, a different chip would have resulted in higher costs.
The global platinum market is only $10 billion/year, which is not a lot of money to fund an asteroid mining mission, and to safely land the platinum ore on the ground.
I think that the "platinum group metals" the previous poster talked about, consists of more than just platinum.
They realized they couldn't sell Windows to Munchen, DE, if it was called Windows Nein - is all about replacing LiMux.
So there's a business-case to be made, for starting a company whose sole purpose is to sign contracts requiring ISPs to fiddle with internet services?
