1.42 metres per second is 5.11 kph / 3.18 mph, or Force One on the Beaufort scale, which Wikipedia tells me means "Smoke drift indicates wind direction. Leaves and wind vanes are stationary."
Wind can move at that speed.
lf l were an ISP, Netflix would "get" to install hardware in my network over my dead body - simply because l DO NOT TRUST HARDWARE AND SOFTWARE l HAVEN'T VERIFIED.
lF YOU'RE AN lSP THEN lNSTALLlNG RANDOM SHlT ONTO YOUR NETWORK lS WHAT YOU GET PAlD TO DO. SUCK lT UP AND DO YOUR FUCKING JOB.
NO IT ISNT.
An ISP's job is to provide internet services. Hence we call them a Internet Service Provider.
As such, it is their duty to provide a stable, reliable network and INSTALLING RANDOM SHIT is the antithesis of this. Please consult a sysadmin before making such asinine statements in the future. Conversely you can save time on asking this question to a sysadmin by forcibly removing 3 of your teeth and inflicting severe blunt force trauma to the forward left side of your skull.
Further to my first sentence, an ISP's only job is to provide internet service, not to decide how their customers utilise that service.
Telecommuting should have decimated* traffic already. Unfortunately it hasn't. I'm enthusiastic for the opportunities of automated cars (not so much for what that implies for motorcycling) but I'm concerned that it will have a lot of unnecessary obstacles.
*Yes, we all know the origin of "decimated".
I dont know about your work, but 1 in 10 jobs here are done by remote. It's probably closer to 1 in 7 if we include outsourced jobs not just teleworkers. Hell, my servers are half way across town in someone else's data centre.
Why should my car waste its time in my garage when it can make some extra money on the side as a taxi? I can call it back whenever I want to use it myself.
Because everyone else will have had the same idea.
Bumps in the road are not normally above bumper height.
Spoken like a man who has never driven a sports car.
m$ have signalled what is unfortunately the end of console gaming & console gaming rights, if sony dont implement this along the way, "forced by the nasty publishers" it will be implemented in the next offerings.
Fixed that for you.
But as a PC gamer I'm enjoying watching Sony and MS consoles implode. The destruction of these two consoles might mean that I'll see a game that will test the gaming rig I built in 2009 to it's limits.
Oh, by the by, read the Xbox360 and PS3 EULA's, console gamers never had any rights... It's just that Sony and MS couldn't enforce it until now.
I didn't say UKdians, I said Brits. You know, the English. You're reaching.
Way to completely miss the point. Which Brits? Yorkshirmen, Londoners, South Londoners, Mancurians (from Manchester), Essex, Cornwall... All of these places have their own accents. Hell, even different parts of London have unique accents, thats multiple accents in one city.
This also explains why Australia, New Zealand, Canada, South Africa and so forth didn't retain the same supposed classic English accent either, because accents were all ultimately immigration driven - South Africa's English accent being influenced by the dutch for example.
Canada and South Africa ended up being influenced by other cultures as you said. But Australia and New Zealand were comprised of almost entirely English, Irish and Scottish immigrants until after the second world war. AU and NZ are simply examples of how accents diverge over time when isolated from each other. I think this is the key reason En_AU and En_NZ language wise are very, very close to En_UK despite being different accent wise. The biggest difference between En_UK and En_AU is that En_AU doesn't mark Wagga Wagga as a mistake (however we do admit that forming that town in the first place was a mistake).
So it's like English in the USA....
Actually the English spoken in the US is much closer to the "original", meaning the common dialect spoken on both sides of the Atlantic in the Colonial Era. I used to think American English was a slightly bastardized version of English, but it's just the opposite. It's really fun to tell that to anyone who is English.
So what you're trying to say is that the version of English spoken in the US hasn't evolved like every other version of English spoken through out the rest of the world?
Having learned Spanish, the English language has changed a lot more than Spanish. The adaptability of English is it's strength, a semi-decent English speaker can understand all forms of English including heavily broken Indian/Asian dialects.
Also, US English is highly bastardised as you haven't included the "u" in many words like honour and favour which were always included in these words and have swapped out the "s" for "z" in the -ise prefix.
The iPad costs the same, and you can't run your software on it.
I don't see what the price has to do with that.
You may also note, I dont own one of those either.
I have a gaming PC and a Nexus 7 because fsck anyone who thinks that they control my devices.
My cousin currently owns an Xbox 360 and likes to play Call of Duty series, Battlefield series, and similar first-person shooters. He has rejected the Xbox One and is trying to decide between a PlayStation 4 console and a new gaming PC this December. Which $400 gaming PC that can play games with comparable graphics to forthcoming PS4 games would you recommend?
The PS4 is yet to provide the same graphical experience as my 2009 vintage PC. Along with this, the TCO for a PC is lower. over 3 years you'll spend more on games for your console than you would on buying a decent PC and the same games.
Sony may have screwed up in the past, but they also generated a metric fuckton of goodwill at E3.
Why are people acting like Sony and Microsoft are the only consoles available.
The Wii U may be meh, but it's miles ahead of the XBone or PS4.
Also, you're a complete fool if you think some fancy corporate moves at E3 has made Sony change.
He keeps differentiating, flying off on a tangent.
