Philips developed it in complete secrecy to the point that they were developing another system, based on the 8-track, with the competition. Competition that left in a huff when they found out about this. The big breakthrough came because of big car manufacturers adopting the cassette over 8-track due to it's reliability. Was quite a shock to the USA companies who bet on 8-track.
An analyst suggested that one of the reasons of the discrepancy between poll and result is that while people would vote more likely for Cantor the problem was that they actually had to go out and vote. Which they didn't due to a combination of it not being a general election year and that huge lead resulting in people reasoning they didn't have to go out to vote since there would be enough people voting in favor. Add in a smaller but more active base for Brat and you get the poll result.
In 2012 for the general election 223k (out of 398k) people voted for Cantor. In the same year (2012) primary 37k (out of 47k) voted for Cantor. this primary (2014) saw 29k (out of 65k) vote for Cantor.
The numbers seem to corroborate that interpretation, seeing that even with an 8k loss in voters with a 47k voter turnout Cantor would have won.
Both are packets so you shouldn't complain is just moronic. Those IP packets containing the stream from Netflix at least have the habit of trying to arrive sequentially, with a buffer to prevent packet loss from interrupting your viewing pleasure.
A torrent is under no such obligation even if you only ask for sequential parts of the torrent.
There is a court here that needs to be explained that they did something like that with their mind boggling implementation of the right to be forgotten.

Reminds me of the New York cop who bought a pair of socks and boots for a homeless guy. And the only reason we know it is because a tourist with a phone made a photo of it.
What has been invalidated by the ECJ is a directive that EU member countries have to implement in their own laws. Those laws haven't been invalidated.
What happened in the Netherlands is not an invalidation of the law. There is no law around that allows downloading whatever people like. What there was was a levy on everything that could be used to store downloaded data/movies/music/etc. and then use the money from that levy to compensate rightholders This seemed more prudent then chasing everyone who performed a download.
Well there was a study done and the result was something along the lines of a 0.0006% increase of solved cases (in Germany), 6 more solved cases on a million solved cases, due to this data retention. Quite hard to square the costs in 3rd parties, invasion of privacy and other negative effects if the benefit is that small.
There is one thing left out in the article. This is a directive which the countries making up the EU have to implement in their own laws. Those laws have not (yet) been invalidated by this and most likely won't be unless challenged in court.
Which means you agree with the proposition that anyone who leaves the state can have their assets seized since anyone and everything these days has received/used some form of government assistance.
Nope. Just checked their ToS and they reserve the right to do what they did. It isn't privacy (or user)friendly but at least in the USA what MS did it legal.
Uh, that proposal in itself is also free speech since it is the newspapers which decide to listen to them or not on a completely voluntary basis. Things get different the government steps in.
Just reading this the incompetence at the NSA is even worse then when they went public with the crawler. How in the world did Snowden manage to retain the PKI certificate(s)? Those are supposed to be on a physical medium (think key/chip card, USB stick, etc). And there are so many more layers of improbability there, two examples:
Never using the login credentials when their owners are using them.
If using the credentials from outside the building never running into callback problems to verify that the new IP is being used by the owner.
This is a clear indication that IP laws are needed for the creative process. Without them this brewery would never have had to come up with something to indicate what they think of them.
What they suggest is the way that it is handled in the EU. In the EU there is a limit on how long a telco must store the data, between 6 months and a year. And neither privacy advocates nor the telcos are happy with it. The one due to privacy concerns, the other due to costs associated with storing all the data.
