Which is why I got a sub-$100 Pebble after reading the price and specs of the Apple watch.

It doesn't integrate as well into Apple iOS, but I can leave my phone in my pocket while cycling and see my data from my cycling GPS app, see notices from the phone, etc.

Plus, battery life of almost a week, e-ink screen that is gets easier to read in direct sunlight, and actually waterproof.

In the USA, excluding DFS, it's 9.

DFS channels are all secondary to other uses, so you can't plan on them.

Ohhhh, multicast video over LED? Streaming the live CCTV stream at whatever event you're at to any handheld without impacting your Wifi spectrum!

Everyone that leaves the main area to get a beer or dispose of one can still stay connected to the event.

First off, there are still a LOT of devices without 5ghz support. I know many companies that are still ordering 2.4ghz-only laptops in 2015. Seriously. 2.4ghz is going to die as slow of a death as IPv4.

Second, 5ghz gives you 9 channels instead of 3, true. In a room that can have 500 people, though, that is still 55 people per channel. That is slow.

First off, this has nothing to do with Wifi in your home or office where there is little line of sight and lots of RF-soaking walls to help isolate your access points.

When you're dealing with a large area with dense users (airport, lecture hall, arena, etc), wireless becomes really hard. The shared medium and limited number of non-overlapping channels becomes a real issue.

You can get directional antennas to try to isolate the overlapping channels, but there is reflection to deal with. It is a constant battle of too little power to work, and too much power and you are interfering with another access point.

Are you really going to run Cat6 all over the lecture hall or airport? To everyone's handheld device? No.

LED lights are far more directional, so even though you still have a shared medium, you're not dealing with the same issues at gigahertz RF.

This is a niche, but a very important one.

So...how's that been working out for them lately?

It seems that both print and traditional pay TV have been increasing both prices and % of ad content for a long time. People are starting to reject these levels, and younger people that are not yet used to paying for it are rejecting it quicker.
Meanwhile, the companies have grown to expect this level of income, so they're not quick to adapt.

Evolve or die.

Actually, INTERNAL_IP6_ADDRESS is the link-local address (fe80). All of your communications on your local subnet use that.

There is also the RFC 1918 (10.x.x.x, 192.168.x.x, 172.16-31.x.x) type addressing companies can do if they want a private non-internet-routable range: Unique Local Addresses. They start with fc07. Most people won't have these at home, but I expect many businesses to use them for things like internal routers. You don't want to have to re-ip those if you change ISPs.

The really cool part is that both the link-local and the ULA can co-exist with your global IPv6 public address!

I've noticed several SOHO routers apply the IPv4 rules to your IPv6 connections. So, if you allow RDP to 192.168.1.2, it will also allow RDP to the IPv6 global address that 192.168.1.2 has. Yes, having unique ACLs for both would be nice, but for most users, this is an acceptable solution.

A small, portable power source that would be several orders of magnitude more powerful than what we have today, for one.

Get working on that Mr. Fusion and I think we'll have something more to your liking.

Because some of us don't take all of the pennies from the "Take a penny" plate, and we don't take all the free chips home.

Servers cost money to buy, power, cool, and replace. Networks cost money. Getting that cat video to you isn't free, why do you expect that you get to take and give nothing?

No, based off what happened last time, they don't go bankrupt. They don't go to jail.

Everyone else's retirement funds take a huge hit and lose value, but assholes^H^H^H^H business leaders like this are too important to fail.

Germany gets more power from solar than California (as a percentage), and they're about the same latitude as most northern US states. In fact, I think their northern border is much farther north than all US states.

Desalinization requires a LOT of power. So, maybe they are focusing on it, but they're taking care of prerequisites first.

Go read the story of Sodom and Gomorrah again.

The story is about how a group of men were coming to Lot's house to rape the visitors. As the host, it was Lot's job to protect them, and he even offered his daughter up for rape to protect his guests.

Now, find a story about two people of the same sex being in a committed loving relationship and show me where it is condemned.

Homosexuality in the Bible was always related to violence or the worship of other gods. There is not a reference to the type of homosexuality that exists today, so it is very hard to get a Biblical case, pro or con.

With only 3 non-overlapping channels, and often wifi access points choosing their own overlapping channel (like 3 or 8), your parent's wireless is likely interfering with a neighbor's wireless. This is much more likely in an apartment complex.

If someone is running 802.11g (or, 802.11b because they only have 6mbps DSL and 11mbps 802.11b is more than enough for their DSL), they are occupying the wireless channel for an extended amount of time.

Even a group of grandmas in an apartment complex running 802.11b only to access their 6mb DSL connection would quickly see their speeds plummet because of CMSA/CA causing a cascade failure of the wireless signal.

Going with the current wireless standard (802.11n in both 2.4 and 5ghz) is the right answer. 802.11ac is very new, so I would agree for now that the additional cost isn't worth it. At the very least, 802.11n 2.4ghz should be default.

The facts of the case state it was between 180-190F.

-This is the minimum temperature coffee is brewed at. Most consider the ideal to be at or just over 200F.
-Starbucks has served me coffee, this year, right as it was brewed at 200F, without me asking for it hot.
-The large print that almost every place now has declaring that COFFEE IS HOT is FUCKING STUPID, and can be traced directly to this stupid case.

SHE spilled the coffee, not McDonalds. Hot liquids can be dangerous. A 79 year old woman should know this. It isn't McDonald's job to educate her on this.

Her estimate of past and future medical bills was $20,000 for her mistake. McDonald's offered $800, because it wasn't their fault.
Less that $640,000 for $20,000 in medical bills that were her fault is exactly the type of stuff that makes people upset.

To be clear: I hate McDonald's: They have unhealthy food, pay their employees slave wages, and from what I've witnessed when I was a customer years ago, they treat their employees like shit. There are a lot of reasons they should be penalized, but coffee served at coffee temperatures isn't one of them.
