Depending on your use case and world-view, they've quite possibly been for a long time, maybe always. You just need to distribute the public part through other channels to the users.

Unless they only wanted to show the extent of their power over other nations. A strong signal, I might add. It could also be in the interests of US government to see which countries they control fully, and which put up a fight.

But a fraudulent "merchant" could still install a custom machine at a busy spot, and charge a good percentage of all passing NFC payment cards. Do this in a tourist area or near airport / other terminal, targetting foreign cards, and there'

"Air is a public highway" Supreme Court ruled in 1946. Maybe it is time to consider a minimum altitude, which must be obeyed outside public areas? Something like 300 or 1000 feet depending on local conditions (building height, terrain etc).

That barely scratches the surface of being a renaissance man. To be a renaissance man just of computers, one has to have a clear understanding of the material, philosophy, money and culture flows; to experience the plight being imposed on m

That's new, as of this year. It used to be 3 weeks, and the state would compensate ~60% of your salary. Some employers would cover the missing 40%, but I wonder if this tradition is going to extend to the full 9 weeks.

Is this some kind of twisted eulogy for LucasArts?

What? I pay 13€ / month for unlimited 15Mbps 3G in Finland, and kids have 5 € / month unlimited 0.5Mbps 3G. They all include some text and voice, and the coverage is spotless for daily commute and holidays. Where do you consider 40 € / mont

I don't know about Swedish law, but out of principle, even stupied IP laws should protect the things they are set to protect, or the laws should be overturned. Given that the Language Council (Språkrådet, right?) is trying to _regulate_ lan

I'm absolutely stoked about their low-end dedicated servers. I have 13€/mo and 18€/mo instances (located in France) and I'm in Finland. No issues whatsoever, connectivity or uptime, and I use them to run both my personal and company mail, a

I did the same experiment to an extent blindly: after four years of stomach problems, I thought it was lactose intolerance. Leaving out milk helped quite a lot. Later I was tested, and found to not be lactose intolerant. Milk back on diet

I wonder if the glue is too hot to draw on human skin. Could make unique jewellery, very tight fitting (if ephemeral, I don't think they would last too long). Maybe for some special events, like weddings and other ceremonies?

That depends on the field (and publication), maybe it is less typical in biology? And all the research funding instruments I've used require (or at least very strongly hint) you to use Word for submitting applications. If LibreOffice docx e

I tried them all (including in other threads below) and litewrite was the only one that supported image drag and drop from the desktop! Wicked. You can even resize! Awesome. And store your writings in owncloud. Ladies and gentlemen, this is

Looks good! Except for the pharmacy symbol. That information is sometimes needed in emergencies, and what you currently have was totally unrecognizable. Make it the same as hospital, or very similar? Some other things to improve: prison sig

I waited for 3 full minutes for the countdown to finish and all I get is a black popup with "Live - iPhone" at the bottom. Not sure if this is the dramatic ending of the euro, or just a technical problem ...

Could it be that some words do not get translated and appear in the original language? These would be very distinctive features in the later steps.

Their site has them at $149 (single domain certs are $49). StartSSL offers the wildcard ones at $59. Like Comodo, not everyone trusts them (however, browsers do). Would be delighted to learn of a cheaper wildcard cert.

I agree that the page is a bit poor in communicating why you should pay, and cumbersome to use. OTOH, the paypal order page does indicate how much money you put towards each of the goals, so I suppose it is possible they abide with the UK l

I'm running a €2/month KVM VPS in UK with them, had to commit to a minimum of 1 year. The box has rebooted twice in the five months I've had it, whether due to OOM (only 128M RAM) or Edis, I don't know. No other hiccups. Otherwise, I got al
