The grandparent never said it did. They simply stated that it certainly is illegal in the USA and suggested it may be in Canada as well.

CDNs are designed to minimize latency which also happens to minimize distance (and generally cost as well) to the end user. BT _could_ do something similar by measuring latency of requests and preferring peers that have low latency. CDNs just do it all upfront and manually.
That really only scales up so far. It's actually quite difficult to saturate a 1gbps, let alone a 10gbps or 100gbps, link with a single stream. Multiple streams work around some of the problems and allow the full link to be used.
They are never present in the main search results. They are above or to the right of the results.
Direct message. It's short enough that it should just always be written out.
Except that a century ago, stealing blueprints actually deprived the owner of something tangible. It was actually theft.
Not if we are in the USA, the photos are taken from a public place (the street), and they are only for personal use.
Only if that patch includes new functionality or content and the company is publicly traded.
Actually, the USA has no official language.
Intellectual property from other companies generally has to be stripped from the code base and those algorithms reimplemented in a different way. Yes, technically those other companies could open-source their code, but generally they don't. Sadly, that intellectual property is almost always used to get high performance.
IMHO, Cicero's Pizza in San Jose has probably the best NY-style pizza outside of NY.
Typically for graphics cards, the only data sent over PCIe is texture data, vertex lists, and commands. The bulk of the operations done by the card are running the commands over the vertex lists while bringing in texture data. The commands are almost always a multi-pass or pipeline so each vertex will be used in computations more than once. The result is the pushed to the monitor, not the PCIe. So, yes, in general, a graphics card will have more FLOPs than I/O bandwidth.
Seems like we already have: top speed limiters, safety scissors, plastic butter knives....
People who will try to cause fear and injury aren't new. There hasn't been any proof that all this legislation and fear mongering around curiosity has actually made us any safer. We live in an inherently dangerous world. It's time to realize that we can't baby-proof it. Then we can get back to doing research, having odd hobbies, and being generally curious without fear of being accosted.
Perhaps you should actually read up on the technology (link are already in other comments) and realize that the sleep proxy service handles some requests without waking the machine. For something like a ping, it doesn't wake the machine, but instead the proxy responds to the ping directly. Same for service advertisements. It only wakes the machine when the proxy can't handle the request on the machine's behalf.
So yeah, it does solve the problem. Now you've proven that not only are you unable to perform basic research, but that you ignore the facts presented and continue claim something entirely refuted by the facts.
