"What health problems? My health is probably better than yours."
Is "Internet Healthy Guy" a new variation on "Internet Tough Guy"?
"My blood pressure could kick your blood pressure's ass!"
Let me guess, you are under the age of 30, yes? Probably under the age of 25?
This is location-dependent, not age-dependent. Singular "they" is perfectly OK in Britain, and I think it's something that Americans could find useful too, once they get over their grammar doubts.
Comcast have been rolling out IPv6, and I can now get all of Google/YouTube, Facebook, and Wikipedia. Slashdot is still only IPv4, of course.
TWC's installed equipment may delay a roll out right now, but a long term commitment to IPv6 would be good.
Most of the Internet is built this way already. The Internet backbone is mostly idle and under-utilized. About 80% of the fiber that was installed for the backbone has gone unused as technology keeps pushing data transfers faster and faster.
Let's take round numbers - 100 fiber pairs between a pair of major cities, with 80 of them unused, and (say) 1Tbit/s on the other 20 pairs. That's 20Tbit/s of backbone capacity, and you might think of it as 80Tbit/s "unused". However, to bring those fibers into use, you need to sink the capital costs for the routers, optics for the 10 or 100Gbit/s ports, and the DWDM equipment. That's not a trivial cost, and people will need a business case for turning up new capacity.
It's a lot easier to upgrade the core than the edge, but the core router ports certainly aren't sitting there at some low utilization all the time.
Yep. 100% sure. I've even researched how so many people can believe this is an actual quote when it isn't (which is a strange phenomenon). I'm also a huge Simpsons geek.
The actual quote is: Wiggum: Well that's some good work, Lou. You'll make sergeant for this.
But almost universally people say and believe it to be "That's some (mighty) fine detective work, Lou"
people have far more faith in the value of the U.S. Dollar and the Euro than they do even in Jesus of Nazareth
There's a wedding coming up. I'll try to use some dollars to get food for the guests. Any thoughts about how to get the wine?
My driving instructor used to lean across to blow the horn and wave when he saw one of his former students. I noticed that a high proportion of his former students seemed to be pedestrians.
We both used to confuse "left" and "right" too, which sometimes worked out fine.
We don't teach physics students the details of epicycles before covering Newtonian gravity nor do we teach students latin (any more) before learning modern languages like French.
That's very true. The only exception seems to be IPv4 addressing, where people are told about obsolete and confusing classful routing (A, B, and C) before the much more useful modern stuff (/24 etc.).
ProgramErgoSum should go and find someone who grew up in the 60s and ask them if they would have preferred learning about airships and blotting paper, or Saturn Vs and lasers. I know which I would have chosen.
If we mine a shitload of material out of the moon, won't that affect it's gravitational effect on the planet?
Mass of moon: 7 x 10^22 kg
World annual steel production: 1 x 10^12 kg
World annual concrete production: 2 x 10^13 kg
Not an imminent problem to solve!
Argon has already been shown to be "non-noble" many years ago - hell, you can buy Argon compounds from chemical suppliers right now (like Argon difluoride).
I think you mean Xenon difluoride. I can't find any reports of Argon difluoride being produced.
Just try editing a Wikipedia article introduce a deliberate mistake
Maybe something subtle, like poor punctuation?
If "stability" is an aspect of your definition of currency then Turkey and many countries in the former Soviet bloc don't have currencies either.
Turkish lira range over five years: 1.4 - 2.1
Bitcoin range over five days: 450 - 900
It tracks mileage, hard brakes, and driving times - nobody knows the exact formula. Progressive claims a decrease of 7 mph or more in one second is considered a hard brake. Don't bother living in a major city.
Maybe you would be fine in London...
Average traffic speeds for the 12 hours between 07:00 to 19:00 across Central London in Quarter 1 was 8.98 mph compared to the 8.82 mph observed in Quarter 1 last year, a 1.8% increase year-on-year.
