Maybe it heralds the flipping of the magnetic poles, which has happened in the past and according to some is overdue.

Has the company lied to you? It is a mobile network, so the company has no control over how many of its subscribers enter the area covered by a particular cell. The more people connected to a cell who are using (or trying to use) a data connection, the slower each one will be.

Are they really claiming that the networked Windows 10 is more secure than the non-networked versions prior to Windows 3.11 and Windows for Workgroups? In the "old" versions the only realistic attack vector was floppy disk based viruses, which only caused the systems to misbehave, not "leak" data.

THis is neither RPM nor Debian based, so I voted other

Even more correctly, an 'internet' is a set of connected networks, so a simple LAN is not an internet, but if 2 LANs are connected via a router (not a bridge) then they form an 'internet'.

How are they intending to which Specific Device on a LAN behind a router using DHCP is making the connection? If there are connections, at different times, to a number of services from a particular IP address, how can they tell if it is same device connecting to those services?

As the content of sidebars and adverts mainly come from 'external' sources, one way to counter this problem would be to have an option to only search on the actual page and not in any included content. So that if the only match to the search is in an advert on a page, that page would not be included in the search results but the page to which you would be directed if you clicked on the advert would be included (only once and not generate hits for every other page carrying the advert)

They not only need the ability to pull over a car, but at an intersection direct it which exit to take. They need to be able to close a road because of an accident or other emergency ahead (but out of view of the intersection). All of these are done using recognised gestures.

Added to that there are sites which do not like you linking to their pages, some even going as far as to claim that linking to them is violating their copyright.

So what is it sharing? If the connection is open, then there are no credentials for it to share? In the case of open WiFi, the only thing I can think of that it could share is the list of Open SSIDs to which the user has connected?

Why blame IPv6 for this? Any VPN only carries traffic which matches its traffic criteria - for IpSec the SA definition (Encryption Domain in Cisco speak). So IPv4 has the same issue if the source/destination IP addresses and Ports do not match those which are configured to pass over the VPN. Amongst other things, this allows a single system (host, router or security device) to terminate multiple VPNs and route traffic over the appropriate one (or directly).

What customers are complaining about is not the inability to to use their full bandwidth 24x7, but the inability to use it for the (relatively short) periods when they want to. The problem is not people using the full bandwidth 24x7, but that there are times (peak period) when more people want to use it than the ISP has provisioned the bandwidth for.

In which case, would it not have more appropriate for the legislature to have passed a law to that effect?

In the same way as the bank could provide you with its public key (or X.509 certificate) and sign all electronic communications to the account holder. If all financial institutions did this it would reduce phishing.

No, what it is doing (to borrow the analogy from an eralier posting) is opening every letter in an evelope, putting the contents in a see-through bag and adding a new addres label.
