Not really a fair comparison. If we're comparing to USB keys, you should at least compare to ephemeral SSDs rather than EBS SSDs. Unlike EBS, your USB disk isn't made for 99.999% durability, doesn't allow snapshotting, etc.

I think he's referring to the source code, rather than the game itself.

Cash use is about on par with most other countries. Credit cards & mobile solutions are slowly rising, but cash is still widely spread and necessary in some cases (like paying for public transport in certain cities, etc.).

Not in my experience. I almost never carry cash when in Denmark. In Copenhagen at least, it feels like the only place where cash is required is the pølsevogn (hotdog stands).

In Spain where I am based now, and in New York where I spend a lot of my time as well, I always have a bit of cash on me because small purchases have to be made with cash.

Definitely not. Considering myself quite the traveler, I'd say Denmark is the country I've visited that by far has the best support for credit cards, especially Copenhagen.

Just spent 6 months in the US and we in Denmark are way ahead in regards to a "cashless system".

The fatality rate would be the same. We do not have any treatments available for any of the Ebola strains, as such our only option is to limit the spread. Whether developed nations are better able to do so, I'm not sure.

Governments in the West are stronger, so might be more able to rapidly contain outbreaks as a result, perhaps?

If permissions could be granted not ahead of time, but rather when they're needed, you could simply update the application and just ask for permission when the new functioanlity was actually used.

That's Apple's system, right? Android does have a different one. Fortunately or unfortunately, I'm not really sure. Android's system definitely has advantages as well. But it goes without saying that there are serious issues that must be fixed.

You can't just compare storage on the capacity, you also have to account for speed. Even these days, 149GB 15k RPM SAS drives are popular for non-SSD usage. Long way from 4TB, but they outperform them any day when it comes to semi-random usage.

One could only hope. However, I don't see this changing the S3/CloudFront decision that much. I'm not sure if we're special, but on our bill, requests cover about 10% of the CloudFront total, compared to the transfer price, while requests cover just 2% of the S3 total price.

I guess it quite depends on the type of assets. On our bill in the largest region, requests are about 77% of the total price. Motivates me to look into combining assets at some point :). (base64 encoding images in CSS etc).

Except that's not the message.

The message is: Nobody is allowed to report misconduct in this way.

It's not just audio files; we've been seeing the same pattern (though actually even worse, as they request not only overlapping ranges, but the complete file, multiple times) on iOS5 for MP4 files: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/6094556/mobile-safari-mak...

I may get the patent on the smart cover, but I don't get how they could've been granted a patent on the flip page animation. The patent application is overly simplistic and clearly covers just the idea/design of the animation, rather than an actual implementation: http://patft.uspto.gov/netacgi/nph-Parser?Sect1=PTO2&Sec...

Furthermore, the web has been flooded with the exact same animation since the midst of 2004, all implemented in Flash. In the later years, these have also been implemented in pure HTML: https://github.com/blasten/turn.js

Given that Apples patent wasn't filed for until December 2011, I can't see why it wouldn't be dismissed on the grounds of prior art being publicly available.
