A fire block is a literal blocking in the wall space that prevents the spread of fire. Without it, all that open air between the drywall layers of your walls is just like a road map for the fire to spread to each and every room.
A fire block is typically a 2x4. It's not meant to stop the fire, but to prevent your house from being completely engulfed in flames in 20 seconds.
In my situation, I wanted to drop a line from upstairs to downstairs. The cable line comes in downstairs, and is split to go upstairs. I tried dropping a cat 5 down the hole where the split coax is upstairs. But the fire block is there. The coax was put in then the apartment was built, so it's actually routed through a hole drilled in the fire block. The only way for me to drop a line down would be to cut a hole in the drywall and route the cable around the fire block if possible, or drill another hole for it.
You often aren't able to run a live disc on any sort of public PC. Either there's no disc drive, you don't have access to the boot menu/bios, or you simply don't have physical access to the machine.
Either way, running from a live disc and a flash drive won't secure shit. For all you know there could be a hardware keylogger. For all you know there's some guy in the back room watching split video signals from all the machines in the coffee shop. If you're going to be paranoid, at least be paranoid.
3 years ago, I would have killed for 300 Mbps wireless (even if I only got half of that in actual use).
Today I'm transferring 15 GB MKVs. By the time I'm anywhere near ready to upgrade to N, I'll be moving around 50 GB blu-ray images.
Running a wire across floors is ridiculous. (Can't run it through the wall without cutting into drywall and drilling through the fire block... and this is an apartment...)
I figure my solution in the near future will involve an eSATA connection.
GPS can get you within inches. Fractions of an inch if you use multiple, linked receivers. Surveyors use it all the fucking time.
The issue is NOT GPS, but how shitty or how good your GPS receiver is. The P(Y) code is not for military use only, by the way. There are many civilian-class receivers that use it.
Mainframes are fucking rock solid, reliable pieces of equipment.
They do the damned job like nobody's business. The only issue with mainframes is that we haven't kept the people along with the software we chose to run on them decades ago.

Correct - we rent.

Raising money AND awareness.

802.11n SHOULD HAVE BEEN finalized over a year ago.
Yet it obviously isn't, which is why they prop it up with steel.
They kinda mean the same thing though...
Dr. Nick: What a country!
Pro Bono is short for Pro Bono Meo.
Lawyers take pro bono cases to gain recognition.
You want to be a PARTNER of this firm? Hmm, well, you don't have much pro bono experience...
It's like high school kids doing community service.
They don't give a shit about the community, they give a shit about their college applications.
On the one hand, I asked a question.
On the other hand, you give a long winded version of "it doesn't, that's too hard.".
Aug 29th is Michael Jackson's birthday (and my own).
How can you account for cropping, rotation, maybe added text, etc.?
The argument was mine, stating that GPS gets you within inches.
You being in a building, you having a shitty receiver, etc. is not the fault of GPS.
So you took a copy and paste trip to Wikipedia?
Sorry dude, but you're 100% wrong.
GPS can get you within inches.
Fractions of an inch if you use multiple, linked receivers.

Plenty of marine GPS unit have been that accurate and have been around for ages.
GPS will give you an altitude.
Uh, why?
Mainframes are fucking rock solid, reliable pieces of equipment.
They do the damned job like nobody's business.
The only issue with mainframes is that we haven't kept the people along with the software we chose to run on them decades ago.
Um, they actually are that accurate.
GPS can tell you where you are within a few inches.
Your mapping software is what lacks in precision.
Then those vendors who can't choose any of the codecs in the spec should not label themselves as supporting the spec.
Simple as that.
Except that's not how Arnold speaks at all. WTF with the "v"s everywhere?
Then their argument will be:
"If we can make our own, then why use embryos at all?"
What the fuck kind of accent are you attempting to mock?
Take it a step further:
A zillion diseases ARE cured by stem cells.
Now we have hundreds of millions of people looking for stem cells.
Uh, no. If you actually had a right to free speech, they COULDN'T do any of those things you mention.
What we have is a blanket of lies.
You write a lot, but you say very little.
If a browser doesn't want to implement the spec, fine. The spec is just a spec. I don't think it's magical or anything.
But if you write a browser, claim it supports the video tag / HTML 5, and it DOESN'T, as defined by the spec, then you're a piece of shit.
