> Only the regional NICs have run out of blocks to distribute. No one has actually run out of IPv4 addresses.

APNIC is the only NIC which has run out of IPv4 adresses, on 14 April 2011. Surely there have been an ISP somewhere in Asia since then who wanted to use an IPv4 address, but haven't been able to. That should qualify as running out.

> Seriously, you're going to bicker over semantics?

The grandparent's post was about the semantics of "overdose", and he got a +5 informative for it. Saying

> Overdose isn't when you take more then prescribed, it's when you take more then what your body can handle.

is a semantic argument. So why shouldn't I point out that he is wrong.

> Overdose isn't when you take more then prescribed, it's when you take more then what your body can handle.

According to Wikipedia, an overdose "describes the ingestion or application of a drug or other substance in quantities greater than are recommended[1] or generally practiced.[2]"

So your use of the word is incorrect.

How is stating the obvious to "editorialize and sensationalize"?

How can anybody (fx Slashdot) would describe 99.51% voting for United Russia in Chechnya as "hint at fraud" instead of the more correct "unambiguous evidence of fraud"? Is Slashdot owned by the Russian dictatorship?

If the Bible was judged purely on its contents, in the same way as other books, then it would require quite a warning label.

We have an at-large election system here in Denmark, as in much of continental Europe. This proportional representation gives each voter a vastly better opportunity to vote for the candidate which best represents him, instead of just having to vote for the lesser of two evils or throwing your vote away.

If you install grub onto your USB stick, then you can have a whole collection of live CDs, which can be accomplished by copying the iso to the USB stick and adjusting the grub configuration file. See for example http://www.panticz.de/MultiBootUSB

> Then they sued everyone and if it were not for AMD Rambus would be the next monopoly in ram. AMD still used Sdram which many of us preferred over the high latency and $$$ rambus.

It was not just AMD which used SDRAM. Other companies made chipsets and motherboards which worked with Intel CPUs and used SDRAM.

As RDRAM failed to match SDRAM technically and price-wise, Intel was saved by their competitors selling Intel-compatible chipsets, for otherwise few people would have bough Intel CPUs. Because Intel was contractually obligated to only ship RDRAM-compatible motherboards.

Cute :).

But IMO the jump from Sandy Bridge to Ivy Bridge is especially large, particularly in power consumption, so it makes sense to make Ivy Bridge the CPU to wait for.

According to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Office_of_National_Drug_Control_Policy#Anti-legalization_Policy :

This is the man who the Obama administration gave the job of answering the marijuana reform petition.

I have seen the WNDR3700 recommended as being a good option. The hardware itself is relatively powerful, with a 680MHz processor, 64MiB RAM, and 8MiB flash. The 4 internal+1 external RJ-45 ports are gigabit. It costs US$120 from Newegg.com .

Perhaps the point is just to highlight the new motherboards, and any review could do, so they took the first one? Which is reasonable enough, IMO.

If you disagree, then you can earn some karma by posting a comment with a list of other reviews.

Thunderbolt is interesting because of the potential maximum cable length. The current cupper cables are limited to 3 meters, but once optical cables are available, "10s of meters" will be possible.

Since you can run both display, keyboard and mouse over one cable natively, this means that you can put your computer with its noisy fans into the basement, use a single thunderbolt cable, and just have an extremely thin client at your workstation.

The corelib looks very sparse: http://www.dartlang.org/docs/api/index.html

The thing I like about jquery and dojo is that you actually get a reasonable standard library, which JS sorely lacks. It would be nice if dart included a better standard library.
