What do you mean we've done nothing to move people to IPv6? Do you think it is magic?

Yes. It should have been magic. IPv6 is now 18 years old. Think about that for a moment. You could have had a child and raised him to an eligible voter in the time IPv6 has been around. How many routers did you replace in that time? 3? 5? I probably would have gone through around 4 with my jumping between ISPs. The most recent of which was last year. Guess what my router does NOT support.

That has been happening, lots. Have a look at Google's IPv6 chart: https://www.google.com/intl/en... [google.com] what you see is exponential growth happening.

And thus you missed my point. People haven't been moved to IPv6. People have been given new devices on new networks which have defaulted to IPv6 due to the lack of available IPv4 address space, and due to new deployments being an easy target. 4 of the 6 devices in my house have IPv6. None of them on my brand spanking new 200mbps internet connection. Call most ISPs and ask about IPv6, and they'll either ask why or move you to a business package.

You don't "move" people to v6 as in force them on to it and turn off v4. Rather you make it available, and chosen by default, which is precisely is what is going on.

Yes that is exactly the approach you take. No that's not what's going on. Based on the service life of industrial routers the entire internet should be on IPv6 by now. Instead we're still rolling out devices which lack support. This is NOT progress.

What do you mean we've done nothing to move people to IPv6? Do you think it is magic? Do you think we just wave a wand and people are on v6? No, what it takes is rolling out support on the OS, router, ISP, and so on. That has been happening, lots. Have a look at Google's IPv6 chart: https://www.google.com/intl/en... what you see is exponential growth happening. This is actual IPv6 connections as well, Google is counting the percentage of people hitting their site with v6, which means an end-to-end connection.

Oh and ISPs have indeed been making IPv6 available to home users, wouldn't see that graph otherwise. For US cable providers Comcast is dual stack on their whole network, Time Warner is on about 90% of it, and Cox is on all of it. That's a whole lot of the US population. This isn't theoretical support either or "Oh call us and maybe we'll turn it on," it is live, on the network, and working now. On my Cox connection all I had to do was tell my router to get itself a prefix and go. My connections to Google, Netflix, and anyone else who supports v6 go out over it.

You don't "move" people to v6 as in force them on to it and turn off v4. Rather you make it available, and chosen by default, which is precisely is what is going on. When the device supports it (Linux including Android and Windows are both dual stack and prefer v6, not sure about OS-X), the router supports it, and the network supports it you are good to go.

Cox is dual-stack on their entire network. Comcast is likewise. Time Warner is about 90% done with IPv6 on their network. That most of the US's cable providers right there, with Charter being the only major that doesn't have IPv6 yet and they are working on it actively.

Not every ISP has it, of course, when you count DSL CLECs, dial up, and so on there are literally thousands of ISPs in the US. However it seems that most of the major cable providers do, and combined those guys serve a massive part of the US population.

In fact, have a look at Google's IPv6 adoption map: https://www.google.com/intl/en.... Looks like the US is doing pretty good. Not only is adoption high compared to most countries, but it works well.

Also remember that IPv6 adoption is more than just ISPs getting it. It needs end-to-end support in that users have to get IPv6 capable routers and devices, and have it enabled.

That's been pretty much disproved. The real culprits seem to be flour and sugar. Enjoy your vegetarian diet.

"Disproved"? If you don't believe in science, then perhaps the evidence isn't very strong. If you read newspapers and industry sponsored "scientific journalism", you might also think there are health benefits to eating meat. For everyone who does believe in science however, start your investigation here:

Below are a handful more studies (with lifestyle, age, location, and income adjustments included) that all suggest that meat/dairy is the primary cause of the major diseases we are discussing. Even when you adjust to include "junk-food vegans", you see that they come out ahead. It's not just processed foods that are to blame, although an increased consumption of processed foods is linked to elevated heart disease in all populations.

Thousands of peer-reviewed papers based on the large-scale studies below support the treating of lifestyle diseases by reducing or eliminating animal product consumption, paired with an increased consumption of whole plant-based foods. These are clinically valid paths to eliminating the diseases, which are most often more effective than prescription drugs, which are geared toward relieving symptoms (e.g. statins) but not the underlying causes of disease.
Large scale, long-term studies:
PREDIMED Studies: http://www.predimed.es/publica...

The China Studies: https://scholar.google.com/sch...
The Nurses Health Study: http://www.nurseshealthstudy.o...
The EPIC Study: http://epic.iarc.fr/

When humans stop eating meat and switch to whole-food plant based diets, the rates of all leading causes of death (obesity, cancer, heart disease, and pretty diseases of inflammation) drop. To anyone with a scientific mind, modern nutritional-science's data should pretty much indict animal based foods as the direct cause of obesity, along with the consumption of heavily processed foods. It's no wonder that the nations with the highest meat consumption have the highest rates of lifestyle diseases like obesity, diabetes, heart disease, etc.

Are the chargers smart enough to delay charging until night?

This is a very minor technical issue; so far, it's not been something anyone really has to pay attention to. When it becomes a problem, building timers into chargers isn't a serious technical challenge.

At present, some chargers have timers; in addition, you can monitor some by wifi, etc. A little googling will tell you all you need to know about this.

Name one person who had a heart attack and veered off the road and died.

Sorry, I couldn't find just one: had heart attack and died while driving

You can't spin your bullshit so hard that you base *an implied assertion* [need electric cars to save people from being killed by heart attacked drivers]... on craig's list.

Um .. that wasn't my premise. And where did I even mention electric cars?

You are out of your fuckin mind.

The fact remains you will have more problems with spies in control of your car networks than you will have safety from dead drivers wrecking into parades because they had heart attacks.

You are out of your fuckin mind, faggot.

Or mention that I was worried about parades?

What exactly is that?

Hangouts on air is when you can host a Google hangouts session between a few select people and essentially provide the general public the option to view the stream (but not join). It's popular with podcasts, game streamers having discussions etc.

It's a feature built into Google Hangouts, but isn't Google Hangouts as a whole.

Is there a separate Hangouts on Google+ than there is for one's normal Google account?

Sorta, I guess? You can access Hangouts separately on hangouts.google.com, which I don't believe requires a Google+ profile (I could be wrong).

Probably pretty nice as this is the time of the year when it isn't rainy and shitty every day as it isn't "winter" yet.

My model S actually handles quite well in turns. It also is not surprisingly heavy for a car in its class, largely in part due to the all-aluminum body. Now the newer versions of my car have even better handling. My car weigh around 4700lbs (P85, 2013). A Lexus LS weighs between 4233 and 5115lbs according to Google.

Despite the weight, the car handling is supurb since all the weight is so low.

Sure, Google Fiber has lots of "Fiber cities". But that's much like calling Google an "Irish Company". The claim is "deployed here!", but have actually deployed to a handful of houses and the rest are in perpetual planning and sign-up. This map of Austin, TX hasn't changed much in the past 2 years. Really, only "Other" has been broken into a few more pieces, each with their own sign-up.

Sure, it will take longer than a couple weeks to install new infrastructure over an entire city. But anyone that moves to a "fiber city" just so they can get Google Fiber is going to be greatly disappointed when they find the one house that is hooked up is actually a shed in the slums somewhere.

I'm kinda wigged out that this site had 29,000 users! Not that all of them were in the US, but there are a lot of pedos out there.

Assuming there are 7.4 Billion people and 40% of them have internet access, then the proportion on that site is 29,000/2960000000 = 9.79e-6. So that is a little less than 1 in 100,000 people.

The world has a lot of people in it.

1. I addressed the nuclear power issue.

How did you do that? Previous comment showed key points where you lacked understanding of nuclear power both as a science as well as an industry.
 
 

2. The hydro issue is again a conflation of environmental politics with economic viability. Politics is not economics or logistics.

You are entitled to your opinion, though the previous comment raised points that you are completely ignoring.
 
 

3. Solar is generally good on 99.9 percent of roofs.

Then you should go contact google and tell them that project sunroof has it all wrong. That project was even discussed here on slashdot almost a year ago today. If you understand solar better than the engineers at google they might like to talk to you about a job.
 
 

Cities have increasing populations because of subsidies.

No. You can make that claim but you cannot support it. People are moving to the cities because the good jobs are in the cities. The economies of the suburbs and beyond are based on a model that doesn't apply any more, and as people are finding that they move in to the cities looking for work or looking to be closer to their jobs in the cities.
 
 

5. As to examples of the fees utilities charge solar installations

That is a good source. However that is for a customer who wants to be both on and off the grid. They want to be able to generate solar power when the sun is out (and hopefully sell excess to the grid) and then use power from the grid when the sun is not visible. The utility company that would be providing power back to them is still providing them a service. Does the power company not have a right to recoup their costs for that service?

The customer could, after all, attempt instead to acquire their own giant battery array and function completely off the grid 24x7. That would leave the utility company with no leg to stand on. On top of that, the story is about people living in Hawaii. Everything is more expensive down there.

This was copied and pasted from 2002:

very appealing to us, as we'd be able to modify the kernel to meet our
exacting standards which we're unable to do with Microsoft's products.

Yeah, it's corrupt. The whole city of San Francisco is as corrupt as the cesspools on market street. Former Mayor Willie Brown was paid to cover this problem up. Ed Lee (the current mayor) is extremely unpopular among the citizens, got appointed to that office initially. The state senator from the area was convicted of gun running! Notably he favored gun control laws, I guess he wanted to get rid of the competition. Another guy was demanding "protection" money.

That's just the surface, the ones who've been caught. I don't know how deep it goes, but it definitely extends into the police department.

That's because there are no more VAXen. You can emulate it on your Android phone though.

>Sorry, can you outline how many fly overs the russians made vs how many the americans did?

I don't ordinarily respond to cowards but this really needs addressing.

The Russians didn't fly over the U.S. for two reasons. One, they didn't have U2 or SR71 technology so they couldn't do flyovers without getting shot down. Two they didn't need to. Russia had entire cities that foreigners weren't allowed to travel. We on the other hand only restricted access to military bases. Hell, Khrushchev rode a train through one of our nuclear missile bases when he toured the U.S.

The USSR was a huge entity spanning 11 time zones so missiles in Turkey weren't anywhere near as threatening to Moscow as Cuban missiles were to Miami. Nonetheless, Kennedy agreed to remove them in exchange for the Soviets withdrawing their missiles from Cuba.

This would have never happened in 4 years. Popular Science published a similar article about the American efforts almost 22 years ago and today there is nothing outside classified or X-plane projects. And this is a nation that has had working hypersonic spaceplanes since 1963.
