Quantum Apostate strikes again.
I am simply pointing out there there is some "connection" that bypasses the universal speed limit. Once we understand and exploit this who knows what doors will open.
Religious? There was nothing religious in my post.
I am glad that people like you are in the minority or we would still be using stone knives.
People like you are a waste of the Earth's resources.
For you tomorrow will be like today, and the day after tomorrow will be like the day before yesterday. Your remaining days will be a tedious collection of hours full of useless actions. People like you think no new thoughts, and you forget what little you have known. Older you become, but not wiser. Stiffer, but not more dignified. Hopeless you are, and hopeless you will remain. Of that wisdom you once sought in your youth, of that quest for knowledge you once had, it neither endures, nor shall you recapture it.
There are new discoveries everyday. The day will come when we can cross stellar distances as easy as we now cross an ocean, Of that I have no doubt. Maybe not in my lifetime or my children's or even great grand children. But someday it will happen. How do I know this? All you have to do is look from where we have come. Each society in history has thought they knew all there is to know about the universe. We are not different I laugh in the face of any one who is pompous and arrogant enough to say It is impossible. What kind of hubris does it take to say "No, it’s impossible, the distances are too great”. Bullshit! We are only beginning to understand the physics of the universe, and we already know that there is at least one thing that is faster than light. Quantum entanglement is instantaneous no matter the distance. Although we have not yet figured a way to exploit this for FTL communications or travel, there is a some mechanism in the universe that underlies the observed results. There are many scientists working with Quantum entanglement, even as I write this. I even believe we will see FTL communications in my lifetime, and I am 48. But aside form communications, there are many other theories at the edge of our understanding that may open up space to easy travel someday. Warp Drive? No, we can't make it work yet, but what about in a hundred or a thousand years? Howe about Worm Holes? No, once again, not yet. But someday. And what other secrets are out there waiting to be discovered? We must keep trying. We must keep pushing, just as the great inventors before us did.
What is your opinion on the existence of intelligent life elsewhere in the universe, and what if any, in your opinion, are the odds that we will ever make meaningful contact?
I live in a RV and have commercial Wi-Fi client mounted in my RV with a Yagi antenna on the roof where my TV antenna used to be.
My best connection distance to date is 2.3 miles from a ridge top campground in a state park to a KOA campground in the valley below.
In my travels around the country I have only been parked in a few places where I can not find at least one open access point to connect to.
In fact in my experience the smaller the city the better the likelihood of an in range open access point. Open access points are my connection to the outside world now.
This is reason enough alone to buy the game, I always wanted to do that.
Two separate computers in the same house with a photo directory on each set up with automatic two way sync between those computers every night.
Plus a remote computer about 10 miles away with one way backup every night.
Drop a pic or directory of pics into the synced directory on either of the home computers and boom next day photos are stored in 3 separate locations.
Fast simple and hands off.
I have never understood this. Every few months we hear about a new round of companies in trouble for price fixing for one product or another.
Yet OPEC gets together and does it right out in the open, heck their meetings are on the network news, and we just bend over and take it up the pooper.
I just don't get it.
Last year we took a three week road trip with two teenagers in tow. I have a Verizon aircard and configured my tablet to act as a hot spot. Diving for those thousands of miles was made easier by having the teenagers distracted by being able to be online at anytime from the back seat with their laptops. Surprisingly I had usable signal for about 90% of the trip, except for in Yellowstone, Death Valley, and out near Promontory Utah.
I've noticed several design suggestions in your code.
