Lets see, China will announce their pie-in-the-sky space dreams years in advance, but won't show a single minute of their current space program in realtime.

The only thing China has mastered is stealing (or buying when necessary) other peoples designs and IP and then making cheap knockoffs in a attempt to show their citizens that China is a "player" in modern technology.

Where's their Saturn probe, or Martian robots, or Mercury explorer or Pluto flyby? Where's their space station?

They put a few dinky probes to the moon, and a few 1980's tech low earth orbit test ships and want the world to be impressed.

Lets see what happens if they ever actually expand the human races knowledge of space exploration, then they can brag how great they are to the world.

Until then they can steal Star Trek's slogan and say "To boldly go where numerous men have gone before".

Let me know if MIT or some other big Tech Uni cuts CS, then I'll care.

Hearing about some cost cutting measure in a state college offshoot - not so much. //go bears//

Oh noes Toto, we're not in Kansas any more.

Sure use a Sharpie - it's like writing on glass.

18 months is waaaaaaaaaay to early to introduce stuff like that.

Let the toddler be a toddler. All that baby Einstein-esque crap has been proven to be nothing but trouble for your child's NORMAL development.

Here in the State's they do the same thing with Taco Bell toilets.

And site owners and advertisers wonder why users go to such extremes with Adblock plus and NoScript to block ad's.

If the sites (or ad distributors) can't guarantee the safety of their own sites, then users have to do whatever is necessary to protect their own systems. If that means no advertising income for those sites - tough luck.

Dear 3D:

Fame here, your 15 minutes is up. Please stop cluttering our theatres with lame attempts at making things look real. If the audience want's real, they'd be out hiking, walking, boating, sailing, soaring, etc - not watching the mind numbing crap the movie companies produce.

So stop it - no really, stop it NOW.

Thanks,

F

"saving countless aspiring grad students thousands of clicks through university websites."

Yeah, that's what professors live for, making their drudges (aka doc/post doc students) lives easier.

That's just crazy. Take a vacation, relax, enjoy life. There's plenty of time (51 weeks a year to be exact) that you can toil away at that grindstone.

Trust me, you (and your emotional/physical/mental well being) will thank me.

You say: " I've used Mikrotik's RouterOS for five years, but it just isn't built for what I need."

What exactly isn't it built for?

Mikrotik has numerous large WISP's (+5000 seats) running on Mikrotik Software and hardware.

Have you contacted Mikrotik's engineers with your "problem"?
