Well, if the driver commutes on a sufficiently regular basis, and is always the driver, then an app that silences the ringer, stops vibration, and keeps the screen from waking up during the right time would probably do the trick. Allow an override in case of emergency - if the phone power cycles, when it comes up the restrictions are off til the next time rolls around.
But it's probably simpler to just put the phone in the glove box.
Bleah. I skipped the class D space because it's officially assigned to a purpose, but you're right, it could probably be slimmed down... but I bet something has hardcoded the notion that D is multicast and should be handled weirdly, so it's probably really in the same boat as E. Oh well...
How about we give out 240/8 to 255/8 first? That range is reserved for "future addressing modes", presumably something like how 225-239/8 are reserved for multicast, but I haven't heard of any new addressing modes on the horizon.
The problem with "reasonable" is that it's inherently subjective, which leaves lots of leeway for abuse. People don't trust leeway, and don't realize how much grief that leeway saves them from when used properly (giving the benefit of the doubt to the accused, not the accuser). Part of that is that most people don't seem to have doubt, even when they have little or no evidence backing their belief.
On the other hand, the problem with objective measures is they don't account for changes in public opinion. That which was considered reasonable a hundred years ago isn't the same as what's considered reasonable now, in both good and bad ways.
Close, but not quite. Most people own a car _older_ than 10 years. Not all of them bought it new. There is some truth to both the stereotype of the guy who has to have the new hotness every couple of years and the guy who would never think of buying anything less than two years old to weed out lemons and avoid the early value cliff.
For stuff that I'd care that much about the image, I wouldn't. I'd rent blurays. For the stuff that I want to watch that's not on bluray, it's usually not streamable, and if it is, it's not 1080 because they transferred the source at that resolution, it's upconverted.
This. If the maintenance costs are not actually proportional to the net power consumption, then they should not be billed as a proportion of net power consumption.
Infinite, actually, if I recall right. Martin Gardner had a column in Asimov's Science Fiction Magazine, and one month he discussed a sequence of cubes arranged like a funnel, and showed that the overall collection had finite volume but infinite surface area. (Or maybe I'm misremembering and it was infinite volume for finite area.) It was an exercise in how sums of infinite serieses worked.
Bah. They already can. "Person interacts gravitationally with other masses - check.":)
But seriously, the problem with this notion is that (a) 7ish billion 'particles' is a really small universe. (b) an individual person is more complex than any elemental particle or even atom. Some molecules may get there, but then we're well out of physics and into chemistry... and predicting the full behavior of one complex molecule is still out of reach (see folding problems), much less the interactions of two arbitrary molecules.
Indeed, who would review other people's code for free or for fun?
Well, right offhand, Coverity will. They're not perfect, of course, but they're pretty good. Their system didn't flag Heartbleed, but Heartbleed showed them how they could add a new test that would and that has reportedly found other possible issues, which are being investigated and will either be fixed or found to be false positives and used to refine the new test. Either way, not a bad thing.
possibly, but that's not how I read the question. I read it as "they're adding this responsibility, which looks like it's going to eat all my time. Any tips on how to make it take less time?" which seems perfectly reasonable.
Do you as a taxpayer want to in effect provide free profits to Sprint or T-Mobile's shareholders - even if you don't use those carriers - because you think it's good that they are around to provide more competition?
Yes. Absolutely yes. I am pretty confident that in the long run that costs me less per year than if ATT owned all the spectrum.
This. Lincoln's prime goal was preventing the secession. As he said himself, while his _personal_ opinion was that all men should be free, his _job_ was saving the Union. If continuation of slavery would have saved the Union, that's what he would have done.
indeed, and this will be one of the criteria I use for my next car. If I can't swap out the stereo, forget it. I realize I'm in the minority with that, and at some point there may be no new models with swappable stereos. At which point I fall back to a used older model that I can maintain:)
I dunno. Coverity can catch a lot of stuff (in fact, I recall reading that they had to limit what they caught on the basis of what they could explain to the programmer, because confusing the programmer led to incorrect 'false positive' decisions). I don't know if it would have caught this, but it would be worth trying.

That's fine. If they have no way to map that EIN to a person, they're still at a dead end.

But ignoring that for the moment... there's 126 class As (1-126; 0 and 127 are special), but only 40 of them are "legacy"; the rest are already handled by ARIN, RIPE, etc. So at 10 days each, that would handle 13 months of demand, after which, back to hosed. Not really a big win.
if anyone back then had seen this coming that clearly, they'd have just used 64 bits to start with and we'd be fine for the next thousand years.
without locking doors, portal would have been a lot faster. Less interesting, though.
Maybe she meant car doors all along.

I was about to say it's more anonymous because you can get a phone without a name attached, but then I remembered how many places have free wifi.
How's that different than what the incumbent broadband providers did?

I dunno. I don't see the golf cart giving the "Cinderella in a horse-drawn carriage" feel so popular in romantic movies.

totally OT but I love your sig :)

by "increases" do you mean "flattens" or "spikes"? I'm guessing "flattens" but I wasn't 100% sure.
Perhaps it would be better described as stripping corporations of citizenship.
