You're right. I've been waiting for the new record holder to arise for worst corporate merger ever and this might be it. According to Forbes and everyone in the entire US, the AOL - Time Warner merger was the worst merger in US history. Facebook buying and within 24 hours ruining a popular tech project and soon completely bankrupting and canceling the entire acquisition may just beat it.
If you're unbelievably unhealthy and some bad air pushed you over the edge, that's not what killed you. Unclear air at that level alone also cannot kill you. That means the vast majority of these people should have simply gotten some exercise regularly.
Any particle that contains mass and energy (so basically all of them) that passes into a black hole does so at a slight angle. That changes the rotation just slightly on one direction. That alone may preserve information about what fell in. That theory is 10+ years old and still the most correct and provable. People just don't like how there's a 2 dimensional arc of possible entry vectors for any given particle so its "information" can't be reversed flawlessly to one single answer.
What it really induces is a condition known as "if you don't know where the brake pedal is, you're a fucking moron." They could put it on the damn visor, it's still YOUR job to know where it is.
ANOTHER bitcoin article by someone talking out their ass with no idea what they're talking about. Yay!
"The main problem discovered is that transaction fees do not provide enough incentive to continue operating as "miner" after there are no more bitcoins left to be mined."
That's 96 or so years from now. By then, they're hoping the volume of transactions makes the fees worth more than the block itself. Plus, the block will be cut in half many times prior to then so it will be even earlier that the reward will drop. But then there's supply and demand. When the block reward every 10 mins went from 50 to 25, the price rose quickly. That's how it works. So if the block rewards is 1.25 and the transaction fees add up to 4.2, bitcoins are simply worth more. It auto-adjusts. That's how it was designed!
"The universe expanded rapidly, by twenty orders of magnitude in the blink of an eye after the Big Bang." - what's the size of a singularity times itself 20 times? Still zero width. Great logic there. Then there's the fact that the universe expanding would actually flatten out waves. Then there's the fact that supernovas and black holes have been known to send out gravitational waves. There's actually no logic or science whatsoever behind the original headline-baiting bullshit.
Do they not know what market research is? If they asked a sample size of say...anything, they would learn that they have a reputation to be ungodly overpriced on anything that could be classified as a subscription. That could be a support plan or extended warranty or planned maintenance or, oh I don't know, cloud services maybe. Even if every last IT person on the planet knows to avoid ongoing cisco costs, by itself the company should know they're too bulky and expensive to operate. They will get undercut on cloud pricing by anything from a tiny company to Google. I hope this is the final mistake that kills cisco forever.
While that explanation is detailed and great and accurate, the real answer is they found out they'd get free advertising through all the press coverage and spent a ton of time and money finding it. That's the short version at least.
How about instead of convincing everyone to behave, you convince everyone to stop being oversensitive idiots who care what others say. I for one do not give a shit what some random assholes type about me online. I don't know them and I have no reason to respect their opinion of me. They can say anything they want to me and I sincerely don't care. That is a healthier mindset to have than constantly basing your self-image on what others think of you, especially anonymous people. The people who get all worked up about it are the ones with the actual problem.
I'm fairly certain in either 2012 or 2013 we did get hit by a significant CME that was enough to cause extremely southern northern lights in the sky. They said days before that it would knock out satellites and it never did. It didn't affect the electrical grid either. So are they saying there was a bigger one that missed us?
Jenny McCarthy doesn't exist! She's just a hologram! My friend send me an e-mail forwarded from his 2nd cousin's Xanga page that linked to an archived tripod page that linked to a Myspace account that had a Turkish video that PROVED her birth certificate is actually a fake printed on the back of a Lucky Charms cereal box. That's true! It's even on wikipedia. She's just there to discredit anti-vaxers and stuff lol.
By the way, you'd have to be stupid to not believe that drug companies actively seek non-cures to make more money. Curing allergies forever is $1000 one time let's say. If I take Zyrtec for 80 years, that's a lot more money. That's not a conspiracy, it's reality.
Oh, I forgot to mention overpopulated 400 year old cities with no infrastructure and every other building being a historical site as being internet nightmares as well.
Then they'd have the same problem I do at my computer repair shop. They go download every BHO known to man then call in and claim their ad said they were magically protected from all internet hijacking (browser = internet if user == stupid). People stop into my shop saying obviously I'm wrong because I put on "the best" antivirus and yet they still managed to catch a virus.
You must live in some dumpy, backwards rural area where there's a monopoly. In my city with a whipping 60,000 people, we can get AT&T, Time Warner, TDS, and probably some weird third party DSL ones like MPC, Earthlink, etc. All the major satellite TV providers have 3rd party agreements to lease DSL lines as well so you can get an internet connection "through them" as well.
This article is slightly incorrect. It's not that they won't "want" to implement it, it's that it would cost money and competition is completely insane right now for ISPs. If you can't put it on a billboard as a feature, they're not interested because it costs money without generating more users.

Oh bullshit he doesn't know. Their motivation is MONEY.
To cancel it within 24 hours, I don't think it's about money. I think it's about principle.

Well, there goes that. Anyone got an open source fork?

I thought they DIDN'T want douchebags wearing their products?

Except they're an American company so they actually should see themselves above some stupid dictatorship bullshit human rights violation laws.

Well then I hope the Langoliers don't get them.

It's a lot cheaper to just look in the phone book. Look in the business section and...it's all of them.
She ripped off the idea from pretty much every sci fi show ever. Why not just have the prison orbit a black hole?
I bullshit you not, my yellow multimeter just broke. It's reading in everything at like 6x its real voltage now. DAMN IT!

You know, netflix caps at 3 megabits in HD. Anyway, I have a 15x1 connection over cable for $38/mo after all fees.
