The Pele of Anal?

Thanks, Editor-dot, for not reviewing TFS. This was an experiment to test EM radition, its nothing to do with 'routers'. Believe it or not, there are things which are 'routers' that are not supplied by your ISP when you sign up for home broadband.

If its picking you up in Lakewood or making other stops on the way, it's not the "high speed" you're thinking of.

People don't understand how large and empty most of the US is.

The rest of the country languishes because everything is so far apart. Do you want to spend days on a train to get from Chicago to LA, or do you want to spend 4-5 hours on a plane? Even high speed rail can't beat a jet. In the Northeast the density of cities plus the ability to work/talk/move around on a train trumps the cost and hassle of air travel, elsewhere not so much.

"Hello air travel? It's train travel... you win."

Most Americans have a shaky understanding of cause and effect, courtesy of years of public education where feelings trump facts, opinions trump research, ineptitude trumps ability, and equal outcomes trump equal opportunity. As a result, other than saying "stop global warming", nobody really cares - they assume that "someone" will fix it, and that someone is probably "the government". You'll hear things like "global warming is bad, but I need a minivan to drive my 4 kids (which I _chose_ to have) to soccer" or "they should just tax rich people" or "blame China". Nobody wants to be the guy who actually sacrifies anything.

That's a separate problem. The basics of using fast storage to cache slow storage are what's critical here - whether you have dodge block device support is irrelevant. A few different options are marked for inclusion in 3.9 as experimental, and slated for 3.10.

Are the things I care about - and I suspect most people do too, even if they don't know about it. The eed to transparently (or not!) accelerate spinning drives with SSD is a killer feature. I'm currently running a homebrew NAS on Linux and my VMWare hosts insist on doing sync mounts - effectively killing performance. By shimming some SSD in front of that, my IO latency bottleneck essentially goes away. (Lets leave ZFS out of this). "Desktop" distros will love this too - I see a simple "wizard" that asks "I see you have an SSD installed - would you like to accelerate access to your HD? Click yes and specify a maximum cache size" Presto - an instant increase in performing most tasks.

You lost everyone at "Kenya tomorrow" and "Perma-Culture" and your absurdly high Slashdot ID, hipster.

I have a Galaxy Tab 2 and there's about 50 different cookbook methods for installing CM, none of which work.

Except it's most often liberals who think that rules should apply to everyone else.

Meteors fall, volcanoes erupt, tsunamis cross the globe.

It's called a "train".

You just made my point.

You can't have regular solar panels; you need ammonia-cooled solar panels. You can't simply walk out and fix it, there's no air. You can't use a wrench, because conservation of momentum means you rotate around the bolt. And after all that and you fix it, a piece of junk from a Chinese satellite killer takes you and your new solar panel out.

This is why we're still whizzing around in LEO. Imagine doing this crap 100 million miles away when you can't "just" get more ammonia if you really needed it.
