Sure 4k might be great, but what shows, what viewing experience, will really be enhanced by this? House of Cards? I'm not sure. It's like TV stations boasting that they have the News in high-def. It's the fucking News. Some of the best high-def episodes I've seen have been on the show Nature on PBS and I imagine that the viewing experience of nature, adventure and science-fiction shows will be enhanced -- Defying Gravity looks great up-scaled to high-def -- but other shows... eh.

I met my wife in 1985 when I was 22 and she was 41. I was still in college getting a BSCS and she was a high school English teacher, recently divorced for a second time. We dated until I graduated in 1987 (and got a real job), then I moved in with her and we got married in Dec 1989, in our home with about 15 people attending our "cocktail party and wedding". We were very happily together until she died of a brain tumor in Jan 2006, just 7 weeks after diagnosis. (I haven't dated anyone since.)

Remember Sue...

Though it would be nice to live in a world where people (or, in this case, asshats) didn't take things that didn't belong to them and/or access things they weren't given access to - yada, yada, yada - that's why we can't have nice things. In the end, honesty and integrity is all we really have. Ya, that's all naive sentiments, but they're something we all should strive for.

Men don't really understand woman and women don't really understand men, but we still want to date each other and the results are not always unsatisfying. For fuck's sake, people didn't know how aspirin worked for (how long?) but still took it for pain and headaches simply because it worked (well).

Build one of these things for small-scale production. If it generates net energy, back-date a patent for this guy. I'd rather see some tax dollars going toward trying something that may fail, than paying Congress' to jerk-off for another year playing piss-ant politics.

Sure, but I find it hard to imagine that it would (at least routinely) be faster than using his current wireless setup to route his traffic from his desktop ... through his cable modem ... through his ISP ... through a remote datacenter (somewhere) ... to the Battlefield servers. Plus, of course, the $7.

Misplaced punctuation can cause trouble. From: Eats, shoots and leaves:

Actually, since OP asked how to "setup a Windows client (my PC) and a Linux server (in a datacenter, connected to the internet)" it suggests he wants to know how to get fired for using his company's resources to play Battlefield while at work. But, perhaps I'm just reading too far into this. OP may have his own personal datacenter.

No. For that the FBI simply checks if you float or sink in water.

That would ruin his chances of becoming a TV "News" pundit.

I haven't done the math, but imagine that you'd probably be dead from the acceleration required to go from 0 to 60 miles in 3.2s.

Wait. Are we still talking about systemd?

So it's unshaven, unkempt, probably unwashed, Turtles all the way Down ... ?

So the crew consists of just Brazilian super-models? Interesting. Would probably mesh well with the Mars One funding via reality TV approach. On second thought, I just re-watched "Zoolander" ...

Did Disney ever get that memo?

Careful grasshopper. Ya, I'm 51 and have been using Perl since it was invented - along with Emacs. But Perl can be a go-to language for anyone, *even* those still in their 20s. I currently develop software that runs on Solaris/Unix, Linux and Windows using about 10 different programming languages and among all of them, Perl is the most useful (with Java second) for cross-platform things. We also use Python for some things, and it could probably replace Perl for others, but, seriously, why bother.

Newer doesn't always mean better and old doesn't always mean obsolete.
