There's more to cursive than simply writing rapidly. Developing good handwriting skills takes practice and discipline, concepts I find grossly underrepresented in modern education.
Developing good handwriting skills is calligraphy, not cursive.

Where as in USA which is a bit larger I don't think you'll have okish LTE connectivity until 2020.
More like 2050. We do not even have decent 3G outside the highly populated areas by 4-5 miles. There are even areas that do not even have edge or gprs near me (and plenty that have no cellular coverage to even make a call).
Can anyone clarify why LTE would get 80% and WiMax only 20%, or is that speculation bogus?
It is random speculation. AFAIK, LTE is all IP based, probably IPv6, even the voice is transmitted using a VoIP protocol (SIP?) where as WiMax is more of a data connection w/o voice. Yes, the voice could be VoIP, but WiMax is designed more for computer interment streams and have a [current] working limit of approximately 65Mbit/s total throughput half-duplex per AP.
Pretty soon I expect the telcos will be doing a lot of the networking which used to be done in house.
Why would I pay an incompetent company to watch my internal network and have to use a wireless technology to stream videos when I could be using a 100Mbit+ connection to transfer the files securely and faster then 3G (or 4G/Wifmax) can.
The problem I've had with it is that each access point I've encountered usually requires a login and/or a fee to use. For example, Wifi in Starbucks requires a monthly fee from AT&T (or T-Mobile, can't remember). Across the street the library is free. The McDonalds next door charges $2.95 an hour, along with the Wendy's across the corner. The lobby in the hospital is free but requires a login that only the clerk at the front desk can provide. There is Wifi in the mall that is free.
I think that most people would prefer an all-or-nothing approach. Give me one Wifi experience or forget it. Having to keep track of a new login method every 200-500 feet is a hassle.
None of those examples are city-wide Wifi. City-wide Wifi would be one provider providing wifi everywhere with one login
Wifi does not cost the provider much to implement. $50-$100 per AP plus up to $100 for an omni antenna if one does not come with the AP. Ubiquti makes good Wifi products at decent prices.
As Windows vulnerabilities go, this isn't horrible in a practical sense.
Unless this works with IPv6.
If it works with IPv6 then a malicious site can have IPv6 address. When the user visits the site the code reads the source IP and implements the attack.
Besides the sales assistants there have probably been brainwashed to outright refuse to sell any prepaid SIM cards they might have and do all they can to convince you to take out a 36-month contract even after clearly explaining to them you are only staying for two weeks
Yeah, in the US, you can walk in to Safeway and get a $10 TracFone.
Try Japan:
To buy a pre-paid cell phone (you have to buy the phone, even if you just want the SIM card), you have to be registered with city hall, have the right kind of visa (not a tourist visa), and have a landline you can be contacted at.
And then if you don't buy credit for a year the "contract" expires, even though it is a prepaid cell phone. Service costs $16.12/month, which includes a $3.22/month unlimited SMS/MMS plan.
Although, having unlimited SMS/picture emails for $3.22/month is really nice. Too bad voice is $1.02/min.
Converted to USD for you.
1000 Yen = 10.75 USD (currently)
Is this a implementation of RFC5514? I know that it needs to be IPoSN ( IPv6 over Social Networks) and is probably not, but I wonder how hard it would be to have this do IPv6.
Same could be said for Linux! Right? Right? Being open source makes it invulnerable?
No, it being open source means that the vulnerabilities can be fixed quicker than 2+ years.
Linux has had more known vulnerabilities than Windows, but that is because people can see the source and find the vulnerabilities. It has also had more fixed vulnerabilities and currently has less valid vulnerabilities than Windows.
I thought that Trojans were made to prevent the replication of those huge two-legged viruses.
No, that is condoms made by a company called Trojan. The virus trojans are based off of the wooden horse left outside Troy by the Greeks. It looked legitimate, but it was a trap. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trojan_horse_(computing)
The most sensible way, and a worthy geek project too, would be to create a playback device made entirly from standard off the shelf parts that you may sensibly assume to be still available in a few decades, put the packing list along with the content you want to preserve into the box and make sure you also store your content in a way that survives the test of time.
Include instructions, in paper, on how to build an open source hardware playback device with parts, that have been around a wile, you can buy from digikey (or similar shops).

There is still a lot to be said for a low-tech approach that is not vulnerable to power blackouts, viruses, malware or spyware.

IPv7 will be like ALL the odd numbed IP schemes, expermental only. We will wait until IPv8 comes out in 50+ years.
Do you take the red pill and live in a gilded cage, or do you take the blue pill and live a free life in squalor?

Seriously. What's this craze about firewire? 1Gbit via ethernet is not enough??
Firewire networking came about before Gb network cards (in consumer equipment)
and if it was 32GB card then transferring the files via network at the same speed would require a minimum a 72Mb/s transfer rate.

XP has size and size on disk. Size it the actual files size, while size on disk is how much disk space it occupies because of sector sizing.
Microsoft provides an office suite. If you don't like their office suite, go use something else.
And I use a competitor (OpenOffice.org), there are plenty of other options available. (Many read MS Office formats)
If you are in the souther hemisphere then this is not an issue since the FCC is in the USA (northern hemisphere).

But if you are not going to run multiple instances of those programs, then it can only address 4GB as a maximum
