If ISP's just wanted to block incoming connections, they wouldn't be using CGNAT - they'd just be using a stateful firewall. CGNAT is because the IPv4 address pool is becoming limited.

I learned a new word today!

Sure, if somebody's tailgating that closely, they're an idiot. That doesn't mean you aren't also an idiot.

I would pay good money for electronic paper. It doesn't even need to have anything else - just a good electronic paper device.

For instance, the whole 0.999... = 1 thing. I think that's a load of crap. You can bring in all sorts of complex calculations, but the fundamental rules (as we're taught) say a run-on number like 0.999... goes on forever. No matter how far back you get, there's a 9 at the end. That 9 isn't going to get a 1 added to it and start a domino effect to magically make it 1.

It's not that 0.999... turns into 1, 0.999... IS 1. 0.999... is simply another way to represent the number 1, just like 2/2 is. Not only that, there is no 9 at the end because there is no end.

If we didn't try security at all, highjackings and bombings would probably happen on a weekly basis.

What makes you think this? It's not like trains/buses/busy malls/crowded security lines get blown up weekly.

YouCubed?

Becuase nobody watches the same thing at the same time?

On the contrary - idiots are the only ones that expect shit to be smart.

Nitpick: that's 2000000 (2mbit) of 10000000 (10mbit)

This is because when you download, your computer send packets back to the source to say "Yes, I got this". So, if you use the upstream for uploading a file, the download can't get its packets out fast enough to keep up with the downstream.

Certainly.

Isn't this what grep is for?
