I meant just to act as an ethernet port expander. One 1G ethernet with 4 VLANs plugged into a $40 5-port managed gigabit switch (eg. mikrotik, but there are others) gives the equivalent of 4 x 250Mbit/s ethernets, arguably faster if your application allows slack on one VLAN to be taken up by another.

plug it into a cheap mikrotik switch and run VLAN on it.

Who would have thought it possible that the Brits might succumb to any disease related to dental hygiene.

You get it when the join the military or as a part of their parole agreement when they get out of jail.

From the screenshot I saw it looked like he was getting legal advice from Saul Goodman.

Drag it on a string

It doesn't have to work. Just so long as nobody knows it doesn't work.

The vast majority of people only fly rarely, they don't care how inconvenienced travelers are.

I don't think it cycles back. I didn't see that in the article. Just that in the lab you stretch it under heat. wait to cool, then when reheated it can shrink again, one time (or perhaps more if you take it back to the lab and repeat the stretch/heat). I got the impression that once it cools after it has contracted it is then set at the contracted length.

There was a time when computers were more amenable to such things, less easy to screw up requiring expensive recovery, The raspberry pi has at least tried to address that end of the market. It's easy to hose the OS on the SDCard, but you probably downloaded and installed the (free) image on the SDCard yourself anyway, so you can recover from even the worse rm -rf * incident.
I'm not sure most people could rebuild their windows laptops from the recovery CD that came with them so people are not as at liberty to mess with them as I was as a kid when my ZX81 and my Atari 800 ran from ROM and it was always just a power cycle away from being "back to normal".

I disagree, the bar does not need to be raised very high to get a lot of productivity gains. I have been astounded how long people spend trying to do simple data mining or formatting that would take a few minutes if they could just code a simple script or pipe together a few bash commands. In my experience, having a little understanding of something leads to a greater appreciation of people who are highly skilled in that discipline, not the other way around.

It seems to me that the purpose of the parties is to create wedge issues and then keep them going for as long as possible. One side can defend the EPA right or wrong and the other can spread FUD to paint it as immoral and outrageous, the truth being an unavoidable casualty of the war between the parties. That way both sides can use the issue to fill warchests and "the right thing" is never done to address problems in the EPA without opening the door for polluters to profit at everyone's future expense. I can see this bill getting bipartisan support for this very reason.

So he's the new chair man ?

Since when did anyone have property rights that trumped being powerful enough to seize the property ? You may think you own your land, who sold it to you ? who sold it to them ? You don't have to go back too far before the equitable trade stops.

Would that be the "Father of chemical warfare" Haber by any chance ?
