I imagine most home users don't have IPv6 addresses.
In Canada we do. Most ISPs (Meaning the 3 big ones) are already set up to do it, and will dish you an IPv6 address if you configure things on your end (and they'll walk you through how to do it, if you wish) but they basically warn you that not every site is using it yet so they advise against using it.
You know that saying "Rome wasn't built in a day?" That has some factual evidence to it; it took many days to build Rome. And you want to know something a lot of people don't know? They took it down the next day, right after finishing it, because they weren't sure if it was going to work. Then they erected it all again later when they saw there were no problems.
That makes me wonder about a lot of things. I always see furniture at Wal Mart, but I've never seen anyone purchase it. Does that sell nearly as well - or is there just enough markup to make the profits reasonable when it does?
Don't be fooled. The summary says nothing of the sort.
It says it's "Shuttering" the plant - a clever mind game to make you think they mean "Shutting Down" but they are actually just installing new blinds for the windows. It says that on March 31 it will "Close" - they probably just mean locking up for the night. On April 1 they might "ReOpen". 300 people will lose their jobs? They didn't say who, when, or where, it was only implied at the plant, but its not really specific enough to be sure. They could mean just 300 people in general will lose their job. A very low-ball estimate, if you ask me.
Having fun isn't a problem. It's this idea that there's anything particularly musical about Rock Band.
Oh come on now. At the VERY LEAST you get a sense for rhythm.
Plastic Guitar/Bass? Yeah probably the least realistic of the 3/4 piece band they try to imitate, but it does at least open the idea to people that the guitar is more than just knowing your chords, as strumming timing proves to be one of the more difficult parts of expert mode.
The Vocals? A little glitchy here and there, and no you don't have to even be in the proper key, but thats the same for every Kareoke game out there, I treat Rock Band no differently. In terms of vocals, you have to at least know how to tune your voice to do it on Expert.
And Drums are probably the best for transferance of skills. If you can drum expert you are well on your way to real drums. The only thing left to learn is how to work that left foot for the high-hat, and you already know how to do a basic beat.
So yeah, I disagree - there are some music lessons being taught in Rock Band. Not anything super complex but to say there isn't anything particularily musical in Rock Band is like saying there isn't anything particularily entertaining about playing a video game. It's basically what the core of the game is designed around, whether you like it or not.
I've never really liked internet comments, but wow, I never realized that one specific instance represents the entire spread. Most of the.coms,.orgs, and.net sites for social interaction are appalingly uncreative. Many posts are virtually or totally unaltered versions of existing comments. In fact the most unique, fresh and striking ideas come from Fox News, CNN, and Glenn Beck.
I guess if you want intelligent discussion, you don't look at a medium that connects millions of people from around the world together in live discussion.
It's news that the lawyers have caught up to what everyone on the internet was thinking when they first encountered Wikileaks. Usually they're multiple years behind on this sort of thing.
Yes. But... But But... But.... These are Google Execs! You see, when a rich executive does something that is frowned upon, they bring shame to their company. But when a company does something that is frowned upon, no one blames the exec. It's a completely unilateral relationship where there is absolutely no personal responsibility when an organization does something wrong, but it is ENTIRELY the organization to blame if the executive officers decide to do something like this.
Are you getting it yet? The entire corporation that is Google isn't living up to its standards because 2 individuals don't!
I suppose I see it as more of a logic problem , and while you could say that the foundations of logic are based on mathematics, I like to keep them seperate to help with parsing exactly whats going on.
One does not even need to understand addition to do a Sudoku, but you need to understand addition to do just about anything in Mathematics.
The only compelling reason to use C++ I can think of is if some political policy forces you to use a single language for an entire project;
I think you answered your own question there.
I've found that a lot of 'outsourced' programming jobs go to people who only know one language. And that language tends to be C++, because its easier to teach someone 1 language than it is to teach them the theory and how it applies to 5 languages.
To the younger generations who are easily corrupted by things like the hot coffee mod, pixelated nudity is even more dangerous than clear unfiltered nudity.
I don't think so, there are plenty of open source projects that get your PC to work with the WiiMote, I think Nintendo played it right by not risking on that venture and letting the hobbyists tackle it.

You went to College?
When I do an Ipconfig /all I get a Link-Local IPv6 Address so I would assume that yes, most routers now support IPv6.
Psssssst

... They didn't really cutback the clapping, did they?
I remember using a Xylophone and a failed attempt at the Ukulele. Is that not standard anymore?
The conclusion I would draw is that students send more emails during school.
You know, the kind with terrible spelling and grammer like
hey bb i w2 ttyl aftr clss k?
which no doubt registers as a false positive spam email hitting the inbox.
Wait a second, you have a blog... And its NOT linked in your signature?
Are you even trying? Or why have a blog at all?
Yet thats part of the music course in elementary school.
Imagine that.
Kids from my generation dreamed of being rock stars, not of sitting in front of the boob tube playing what amounts to a nursery school game.
So what you're saying is that Kids in the past sat around day-dreaming while kids today sit around pretending.
Isn't technology amazing?
Hey man, I told you to use blanks. We can use TRIM() later.

Well, if either of them bring their laptops on board I'm sure they have some electronic warfare capabilities.
No. THIS is a joke.
Two bytes meet. The first byte asks, “Are you ill?”
The second byte replies, “No, just feeling a bit off.”

Maybe he still hasn't converted to the gregorian calendar?
I'm a little confused by whats meant by that.
Does that mean if you are downloading a video from Youtube you won't be able to receive calls?
Or just simply your downloads pause while talking on the phone?
I don't think so, there are plenty of open source projects that get your PC to work with the WiiMote, I think Nintendo played it right by not risking on that venture and letting the hobbyists tackle it.
