  1. Re:wow on Cisco Linksys Routers Still Don't Support IPv6 · · Score: 1

    I guess I should ask as it isn't said in the summary, who actually does support it other than Apple? I can't say I have seen IPv6 menus in any router except commercial equipment. This article essentially says to me that EVEN the largest home router maker doesn't support, as I doubt Netgear or D-link support it.

  2. Re:wow on Cisco Linksys Routers Still Don't Support IPv6 · · Score: 1

    Out of curiosity, what do you recommend? D-link and Netgear have always been and still are garbage. Everything else I know of is pretty expensive. I was impressed with some of the Hawking technologies hardware I have bought, but they didn't have very much when I did. Linksys has always been the best in the home segment, I still have several routers that are even pre wireless that work great. I don't think I can agree that they have ever made shoddy equipment, and frankly it will be trivial to upgrade to ipv6. If you want to be slamming someone for no ipv6 support, take a look at Verizon, how old is the FiOS network? They didn't consider ipv6 when they built out the network, and it was known then that it wasn't too far off. I still cannot get my Verizon Actiontech router to do IPv6, and I actually want it to work.

    Trademark = name, not copied

    What claim could you possibly make? They rewrite the game, and change the name, and somehow it is a exact clone of the code used to program the game? The math behind the game is not copyrightable.

    And to me, invading a country to overthrow the dictator oppressing and killing his people because they don't practice the same religion as him is a good thing. Then taking every effort to rebuild that country and to stop the violence from the overthrown group against the oppressed group. Sounds much the same as what we did in WW2.

  17. Who will buy them? on White House Wants 1M Electric Cars By 2015 · · Score: 1

    The problem is, with the cost of electric cars, who would be able to afford one? The only way for Obama to guarantee that any number of electric cars are in use around the US is to give them away.

    Someone in another thread brought out the statement that if the government gave everyone a new electric car to use and all the gasoline cars were then off the road, the entire electric use of the country would go down. The reasoning behind this was that refining gasoline uses an incredible amount of power. As I have not done the study however, I cannot say if this is accurate.

    The reason we're good at communication technologies is not because it's too cold, it's because we have 35 million people in a country bigger than the U.S.

    I would even add to that, the majority of those people are clustered into a relatively few cities, whereas the US, people live all over the country. I would be curious to see a comparison of the percentage of population within 20 miles of a city between the US and Canada.

    Most definately. My FiOS is 25/25 service, and I have seen very nice 2.5MB sustained without issue. Even the different levels of FiOS would vary widely as you can get from 10Mb down to 100Mb down, that is a huge difference in effective streaming speed.
