Over the last eight years and my previous three ISPs, my router has never once received anything other than a 192.168.x.x or a 10.x.x.x IP address from my local ISP. Not once have I received a live & legit IPv4 address. I have to pay a lot more for those. What's the difference between this and CGNAT?
You are thinking of your routers internal address, the one you use to access it from inside your home network to configure and troubleshoot. They are talking about the routers external address, the one the rest of the internet sees.
I've looked, didn't find it. I just found some vague mumbo about cryptography with a ton of loaded buzzwords.
I want specifics.
1.) What is a bitcoin, EXACTLY? 2.) How divisible is a single bitcoin? 3.) All the specifics of any relevant protocols.
You looked at what? First result of a google for "bitcoin white paper" is http://bitcoin.org/bitcoin.pdf, the white paper originally released by the creator of bitcoin.
You don't actually think they really did this, do you? Bitcoin people love to make big promises and not deliver on them. In reality it's probably stored on a flash drive, possibly on 2 drives for "redundant backup!" and kept in a box on top of a refrigerator.
PFC at 25? He may have had other problems with the Army. At 25, he should at least be some kind of sergeant.
He was demoted before being arrested, dropped from Specialist (E-4) to PFC (E-3). He had been having problems with the people he worked with and lost rank because of it.
I seem to be the only person out of my social circle that remembers Tivo getting neutered back in the early 2000's because of features that were less impressive than this. IIRC Tivo was sued by multiple companies because of the 30-second-skip button on their remotes. They eventually had to disable it (you could always re-enable it if you knew what to do) because advertisers wanted their commercials watched, at least in fast forward.
Now we have the hopper just a few years later. It does the same thing the Tivo did, but it's automatic now, and you don't even see the start of the commercial like you did with the Tivo. Only this time it's being marketed by one of the distribution companies, so they'll grease a few advertiser palms and keep going on their merry way. Hooray for our legal system!
This program is supposed to get entrepreneurs and developers access to high speed fiber, I understand that; but why do they have to live there? Not that I'd allow anyone onto my network either way, but if the end result is getting some of these awesome startups on the net with a good connection, I'd be a lot more willing to let them put a server in an out-of-the-way place in my house. I don't ask to set up a bed in my data co-location center, why do they need a bed in these houses? They can even have access to their hardware whenever they want, provided it's supervised and at an appropriate time. Also, my electricity isn't free. I'd sure like some small kind of cut from the profits (assuming they make a profit sometime).
...for pointing out a common error that makes the speaker sound stupid. Is it just me or does anyone else get that "fingernails on a chalkboard" sensation every time you hear a speaker blithely say words that clearly mean the *exact opposite* of what was intended?
Look, for all intensive purposes I could care less. You shouldve noticed how rediculous that argument was so it's a mute point, per say.
Man, as soon as I saw the title of the OP I knew this was going to be posted. The Axis of Awesome is, well, AWESOME; but they are not the first or only band that has done a 4-chords performance. They are the most recognizable group that has performed a 4-chords performance though, and I absolutely adore them.
Here are two other examples, though not very well circulated. The first is from before Axis of Awesome, I found many of the same type of pop-medley mashups a few years ago. Sadly, I forget the search terms I used to find them and it's been a few years since then:
There is a petition over at change.org asking Blizzard to release an offline mode path. It would be nice if we could reach the 100'000 signatures necessary
Everything from dungeon layout to boss mechanics to loot drops is done on the server. There is no simple "offline patch" that would let you play without an internet connection. They'd basically be rewriting the game from scratch if they did that (which they won't)
It's just pictures. Better the creeps inside jacking off than outside doing it personally. Isn't it time to get the government out of the bedroom?
If you've ever stumbled onto CP through any of the random image polling scripts from the image sites, what you see can be soul crushing. The looks on the children's faces are that of absolute depression and mental anguish. These children never had the option to say 'no' or reject what was happening to them... they were forced into their situation and what is happening to them will destroy their entire futures. They didn't start doing drugs and have to resort to porn to pay for their addictions, they were kidnapped and didn't know what was happening until their childhoods were irrevocably destroyed.
I support tracking down anyone who is sharing these images, since it leads to either one single person not sharing them with others, or (hopefully) maybe to the source. Yes, some people who are deprived of images will proceed to attempting abductions in real life; BUT these same people have a fairly high chance of doing the same thing with or without pictures. The larger idea of stopping these pictures from going out is to stop the BUSINESSES of child porn. There are people that kidnap and rape children just because they get paid for it. That is one of the things the government is trying to stop. Take away the subscribers and even if you can never find the source, at least the businesses stop getting paid and hopefully do less abuse to children.
TOR is awesome... it allows people in countries that are locked down to communicate freely and see beyond the propaganda that their governments are forcing on them; unfortunately though, in a system with absolute anonymity there will be those sick individuals that post and share images that society as a whole knows are horrible. Some of those will never be traceable, and that is sad but also the entire point of the TOR project. I would like to be able to trace them and shut them down, but that same ability would allow oppressive governments to shut down whatever they didn't like when they see dissenting opinions.
One other point: I have read the thread so far and it seems that a large portion of the people are complaining that Japanese hentai are what people get busted for. While that may be true in rare occurrences like someone sharing gigabytes of CP manga... I've worked with law enforcement on CP cases, and they really don't care that much about comics. Yes it's part of the law, but at least in the US, the FBI normally goes after the people with REAL CP and not cartoons. And even then, they go after the people with true collections and not 1-2 images in their cache that they stumbled into while searching random sites. Please link me to a news article that proves me wrong if people are getting busted for single images, since I am only an individual person and could have missed something. And before someone says "they don't report on small time CP busts," yes they do. Every time I've been involved with a CP case, the media is all over it as soon as they find out. They love to put the 'bad guy gets busted' stories in the news.
TL;DR: HBO responded saying that cord cutters wouldn't pay enough
That response makes a huge assumption that is a giant fallacy. They argument that everyone subscribed to HBO would cancel and only watch through HBOGO, thus losing them the support of the cable companies. It also says that most people that are given free trials 'forget' to unsubscribe. People forgetting to unsubscribe is the AOL model of business. I would argue that allowing standalone access to HBOGO would leave most of the normal customers (those that like to watch on their TV and not on a computer) and encourage the 'cord cutters' to actually give money instead of just pirating.
Using myself as an example: I pirate every episode of GoT, but I bought the S1 blurays and plan to do the same for season 2. I would be willing to pay a monthly fee to access them online legally (as well as the other HBO content) while still paying for the blurays.
That must be why internet explorer is still the dominant browser.
By dominant you mean "barely a few percentage points ahead of Chrome and Firefox, and dropping every single month." Even then, it's in the mid-30%'s, not like it has an actual majority.
Simple solution to get management to understand the value of IT have a no IT day. One day, no email, internet, IP phone etc. They'll come back crying before lunch time.
If your IT setup is so terrible that you need active workers just to keep basic services like email or an internet connection running for a single day (barring major failures), you are doing a horrible job.
Side Note #2: Kenyon didn't comment on what percentage of these Ubuntu-loaded PC sales still have users where they run Ubuntu, or namely the actual Ubuntu user count globally. The OEM/ODM count also obviously doesn't count those that install Ubuntu manually or obtain Ubuntu installations via other means. On the down side, when I talk with OEMs and others about Linux pre-loads, I commonly here a "significant percentage" of these Linux pre-loaded systems usually get wiped by their customers and replaced with pirated copies of Windows -- especially in the Asian markets, where customers are just going after the Linux PCs due to the lower sales cost.
On one hand I'm glad that there are other choices, but I wonder what the actual number of purchases just to wipe and install the latest pirated version of Windows is.
Please let it happen before the end of 2012, otherwise all those Mayan calculations that the world will end in this year will go to waste...:p
They already have! The Mayan calendar was made before anyone started using leap years. We've had so many extra days added that the Mayan calendar is already into 2013. Seems we missed the end of the world, whoops!
I don't see the ability to dynamically expand FreeNAS. (Just add a drive and expand the protected space)
Adding a drive to FreeNAS is incredibly simple. Especially if you are using ZFS (which you should be). It's a single command in the CLI to add a drive to the pool and get it working with the rest.
You're forgetting the major part of how the California road work budget is determined: If you don't spend it all this year, they give you only the amount you spent this year in next years budget. This causes the workers to purposely slow down work and soak up hours that they can put on their timesheets, because if they finish all of their work ahead of schedule they will effectively give their department a budget cut for next year.
In theory it keeps the budget cut down to only what's necessary. In practice it just causes public workers to drag out day long projects into week- and month-long freeway-clogging public-angering massive projects, just so they can protect their budget for next year.
Although police officers in most countries are issued bulletproof vests, they don't necessarily wear them at all times — would you want to heave one of those things around for an entire shift?
Unless you are retarded, yes you wear a bulletproof vest anytime it's mandated. There's a reason for it, and no you won't have a warning to put it on before it's ~*~REALLY~*~ needed. Anyone who isn't wearing it while required is putting themselves at risk and also the people who will put themselves in harms way to save them when they get hit.
I say this as a former Marine, and I can't think of a single time that I saw my squad members or even platoon members not wearing protective gear when required. If I had though, I would have chewed them out until they put it on and even after so they didn't do it again. The same is true for local police and actually anyone in any profession that requires protective gear. If you can't be bothered to put on basic equipment, you shouldn't be there.
It is not popular, since the speculators have mostly disappeared at this point. They got in on the market upswing, moving the price to almost $30 per bitcoin for a brief moment. As soon as the speculators reached their plateau, the sell-off began. Bitcoins are selling for 5-10% of what they were selling at their peak. You can expect to get between $1.50 and $3.00 per bitcoin at this point. The true believers still claim that it's coming back, but a single look at any price graph shows that in the end, anything you put into bitcoin is a lost cause. The price continues to drop as more people get out and sell what they have, plus the people "mining" bitcoins selling at whatever the current lowest price is. ALL of the major exchanges have been "hacked" at some point. I say this in quotes because there has never been any proof that the owners of each exchange didn't just decide to take the money and run, which they could have done at any time with ZERO repercussions. One of the larger exchanges was blatant enough to take everything but offer 49% back of what you lost if you'd just use them again (but accept the service fees), as opposed to the others that just delete the website and sell the coins on other markets.
The reason that this is all possible is: bitcoin isn't a currency! It is the same as trading rocks with numbers painted on them to say how much they are worth; this means there is no regulation. It's not anywhere near any other currency in the world because it doesn't have a government backing up it's value. As much as the different sites claim that it is going to change the world, bitcoin itself is being challenged in court and both results are bad for it. If it is declared a currency, the regulations alone will destroy it. If it is declared not a currency (which it is not), it will be destroyed by all sorts of fraud charges.
It seems the more that is spoken of the Phantom, the more evidence there is that it is the most appropriately titled console in history." I'm sorry, maybe I missed something but I was under the impression that every single person on/. knew that this product was bogus.
Is there anyone on this forum that honestly believed it would come out?
1. GI sucks. It reeks of developer inventives/kickbacks for favorable reviews. 2. A typical game purchase at GameStop goes like this: "Hey, you know if you get the frequent buyer card with your purchase you get a free subscription to Game Informer. Also you take the first issue home with you right now. BTW, there is a $5 off the frequent buyer card coupon in the issue right now, and we can use that towards your card purchase. With the 10% off discount and the coupon, your frequent buyer card is absolutely free."
Honestly, how many people are going to say no? I got my subscription, saw how crappy the magazine is, and barely spent 5 minutes on each months issue before I threw it away.
Give something away for free, and obviously people are going to take it. That doesn't mean the magazine is any good.
