Very relevant. Most wireless devices use the same band as bluetooth. Bluetooth uses the 2.4 ghz band as does wifi. The power levels and exact frequency are different, but to say they don't use the same spectrum shows you didn't do your homework...
IOW:
Please actually know what the fuck your talking about before engaging the ID10T interface.
Bluetooth would be LOWER powered than WiFi. Hence my stating that the WiFi based AirBUS planes would have lots of problems.
Besides, they said today (yesterday) that the problem was something else.
Please, check yourself. If a.1 watt bluetooth signal can crash a plane (at 2.4 ghz), then what's going to happen when my three times that power (same frequency) card comes online?
Most 20 somethings I know of would love a 40 yr old looking Vette or one of the other power player cars that GM makes.
Problem is, they have other things to spend money on, and end up purchasing a Subaru (20K) and put 15K in options in it, and can compete with 70K Vette. Rest of the funds end up spent at Burger King and (insert name of favorite console here).
No, you should do what the rest of the world did that put away games decades (yes, back in the 80s, we played lasertag and paintball, although it was mostly MilSpec stuff we where playing with) ago and went outside.
Go play lasertag, paintball, or the other similar games.
But, you nailed it, 'You're too lazy for that.'... I used to be. That was 150 pounds (and degenerative Arthiritis and Burcitis) ago.
I agree with you 100 percent, coming from the engineering side of networking back in the 90s and early part of Y2K (I left IT the day EnRon came apart, literally).
What is the big deal about having not enough IP addresses (intentionally written with Engrish as my (secondary) primary langrij lol)?
I mean, it is no big deal to have a complete web server farm pretty much have no more than 3 or 4 IPs, right? We figured out a LONG time ago how to have more than one domain parked on the same IP address.
With NAT (And I'm NOT a fan of NAT, just proposing the other side, and asking for sane arguments against what I'm proposing (more to figure out if people agree with my decisions)), you can have 65 thousand HOW many services running on the same IP. And with HTTP redirects and being able to host more than one domain per IP, that sure does seem like a workaround to me....
Again, this is more a Q for a bunch of different A's, as I wondered WHY NAT doesn't work. Yup, it's a pain in the ass, and I know for a fact that there are a few things that it DOESN'T work for, but for the rest, why? Just because it creates a bit more work for us (as the IT people that are making it work, not the programmers / etc... The actual guys who are never thanked, but always make the servers and such work) in setting up NAT tables?
I've had to make the decision to apply for more addresses before, and had to talk my CIO OUT of going with NAT, but in the end, I ended up doing both.... That was in 97, company is still set up the same way, although the IPs (backbone) changed since I left.
These days I have a [Wii] console that lets me get the maximum amount of enjoyment out of the least possible time investment.
What do you do when you want to play a game that isn't on the consoles? For example, a lot of indie games are PC exclusives because the developer isn't a big enough company for a WiiWare license.
History has shown that good games sell.
Even good games from small companies?
What do I do when a game I want isn't on a console? I go outside and play.
I go climb a rock. I go ride a motorcycle (not recently, wrecked one) I go find something else to do.
I don't let the gaming industry play my life out for me. If a game looks killer, but it isn't available on one of my platforms, I just ignore it. Pure and simple.
Doesn't cost me anything, lost over 100 pounds since thinking this way, etc., etc., etc.
Good games from small companies still sell and are played.
Your logic would mean the Commodore (all variants) are dead, and NOTHING is released for them at all, right?
As your power supply is a switching type supply, and the demands at low power cause the power supply itself to actually sink MORE current (causing the thing to get warmer), I think your overheating problems where more towards the machine and heat, rather than power supplies and heat.
Switching type supplies are nothing more than switches. They turn on and off at incredible speeds.
This makes them way more efficient than linear, which are always on. Switchers have the benefit of turning on and off and during the off time (when the power supply is actually supplying current to the load), the transistor(s) are sitting still, resting. During the on time, they are conducting and sinking current to ground, causing them to run hotter.
Your logic is right on. Your physics is right off.
The power supply will run warmer when sinking more current. The wiring will run warmer when drawing more current. Nothing is free.
Having to have a computer that requires you to maintain your living room / bedroom / computer room at a certain temperature is crazy.

You think your personal privacy is that important, eh? Serious question, as I don't give a fuck what someone finds on my laptop.... Is it privacy, paranoia, or just being a nerd?
Well, thank you for telling me that I'm not worthy of having a child because I'm on welfare.
Why don't you go to China. They seem to have some of the same ideals that you do about procreation.
Not saying your wrong or right... Just stating that your opinion goes against free will, freedom of expression and a HOST of other things the US was built on.

Well, FUCK YOU. NO, seriously, FUCK YOU!
Now that we have that out of the way, would you care to tell me why your opinion means more than the will of the people to procreate?
I wonder, if with the prevelenace of cosmetic surgery, will it eventually effect the gene pool?

My mother instilled in my that comics where garbage as well. At least, if used for ANYTHING other than entertainment, and used little for that.
Instead, we'd sit and read together (me at 3 yrs old). I LOVE reading, love sitting here and problem solving, etc.
Not saying your argument is flawed (I actually agree with LOTS of your points), but just because someones mother instills in them that reading lifeless dribble is a waste of time doesn't mean that reading is a waste of time. My mothers ideals COULD have hurt me academically, since I didn't want to read textbooks or anything else of the nature (I made my grades at test time, homework was for the birds). I spent most of my time reading technical literature.
Today, I can claim Engineering backgrounds in both broadcast (AM Radio) and Computer Networking. I've also worked on a nitromethane dragster pit crew. Dug some sewer ditches, etc., etc., etc.
Genetic predisposition? Nah, Daddies family is a bunch of smack addicts, Mom died before her time of cancer, so nobody knows where she would have ended up. Rest of the family chased the almighty dollar, so I'm the only offspring to compare myself to, maternally. Paternally, they all lived to follow my fathers lifestyle, prison and all.
