Most of the driver is just a copy of Intel driver, with additional functionality bolted on top. Whatever the author's abilities are, the goal was not to produce a working protocol stack, and benchmarks of this hack can't be used to predict anything but the behavior of this hack.

And then they would inevitably slow down this hack, too, what makes me doubt the validity of the measurements.

Those companies merely announced that they intend to use this "technology" somewhere. They are not throwing out the routers they have. They likely replace some level 2 and level 3 switches ("almost routers") and treat the whole thing as a fancier management protocol for simple mostly flat or statically configured networks that they have in abundance. For all we know, Google may already have no routers at all except for links between their data centers, as they are famous for customizing their hardware/network infrastructure for their own unique software infrastructure, and would probably gain more from multi-port servers connected by very primitive switches into clusters with VLAN or even physical topology following the topology of their applications' interfaces.

Except traditional switches never have high-latency, unreliable links between their components, and the data formats follow the optimized design of ASICs and not someone's half-baked academic paper.

Then why don't people just place Ethernet between a CPU and RAM? It's "nano or possibly microseconds", right?

See above.

If it works, then the way you use it, did not require anything complex to begin with, and you use it as yet another management protocol. You could have bought cheap level 3 switches before, and configure them to do exactly the same thing with command line, except with less buzzwords.

NASA didn't even want to launch it, they had to have their arm twisted to schedule an extra Shuttle mission so it wasn't just left on the ground to rot.

Fuck rights, you both have the responsibility to learn to act in a way that doesn't offend either of you, because if you're causing offense, you've failed to communicate properly. Be conservative in what you do and liberal in what you expect from others.

At no point in history, starting before apes that humans eventually evolved from, this was the case -- they were all social animals and controlled territory, food, etc. only as a group with complex hierarchy within the group that had absolutely nothing to do with ownership. Those loners in caves never existed, and could not possibly exist because humans never had physical traits necessary for surviving and defending an individual without a group. A hunter living alone in the woods, as much "close to nature" it seems, is something much more recent, brought by the development of technology. Personal property is also a recent cultural development, and even now it usually acts as a proxy for social status and power.

If infants are getting it and by school age they are vulnerable again, we're talking about annual rather than every decade.

That's like telling someone they should be a professional athlete. Millions will try, but a bare handful will succeed, everyone else will their time.

Some of that is exactly because we have outrageously expensive healthcare and no real safety net. If something does go wrong, the only way to afford the care needed in the aftermath is a huge award or settlement.

If it's 19th to 21th century, it's someone regurgitating modern propaganda.

You can't "dig deeper" when all you have is a collection of propaganda workers and their parrots, all trying to out-shout each other while trying to keep the impression of legitimacy.

Naturally, it varies by the vaccine, but bad reaction can range from a minor fever that might or might not be noticed on up to perminent disability and death at the extreme end. The latter are uncommon but do happen.

I'm not talking about the scare mongering about autism and such. That has been debunked more than satisfactorially.

The correct calculation of the risk is to compare against the morbidity and mortality caused by the disease itself.

Onre thing that Wikipedia really sucks at, is history of anything after 18th century.
Of course, this is one of the three microscopic ex-USSR Baltic countries. Their politicians' idea of history is worse than Wikipedia.

That's the thing with touchscreens. Sure more handy than a mouse when you're not sitting at desk, but it's esy to make pointing errors.

As for the mod, I appreciate your effort. It's sort of amusing how if anyone sees my post and it's moderation, it does seem to refute it's parent.

Chicken pox isn't particularly dangerous to any given individual but it's spectacularly contagious. Low risk times large prevalence (if it wasn't controlled by vaccination) equals large harm.

I guess I'm saying that it's pretty easy to come up with a nice, round number based scale on celsius.

Real estate is no more tangible than fiat. You don't actually "own" land in the event of government instability. Nor mineral rights, nor water rights, nor any other form of "ownership" that exists only by support of the government agreeing you own it. A tulip bulb on the other hand. That is yours at least as long as you can keep someone from taking it away.

Precious metals, guns, bullets, alcohol, gasoline, non-perishable food. Those are tangible assets. Anything secured by a court filed document you might as well have just left as fiat.

Your expletive-laden post makes clear your generally a-social tendencies. You have a small circle of close friends and F--- everybody else.

Fine. But don't think you are the majority.
