    Point being that the government should get out of defining marriage, to do so it needs to adjust all those laws that make assumptions about marriage.

    They certainly still are in that business, it's still limited to 2 people after all. To get them out you need to revise tax, inheritance, and a slew of automatic assumptions under the law to not assume a binary or just ignore marriage altogether.

    So they need to get slapped down for false advertising for any link that is hitting 100% on a 95th.

    Shh dont try and make sense the eco warriors will get you. Hartford, CT is a bit of the poster child for this, they separate out what they can automaticly and burn the rest for electricity.

    So because it's not as accurate it does not count? No this is just an easier form of papers please and because it's not as obnoxious they get away with it.

    If it were facial recognition as well would that bother you? After all they could use it to look for wanted felons, probably sell it for looking for pedophiles to close to a school and expand from there.

    Displayport to hdmi 2.0 cables are all of 11 bucks on amazon. Oddly think OEM's will be capable of throwing whatever chip is in there on an output.

    Every decent TV I've had has been able to output it's sound via optical/coax to the receiver, hell hdmi has a standard for doing just that.

    If your 100% full you need more capacity, basic redundancy should allow one edge router to fail at any given time. This is part of the point of 95th percentile billing if you have say 2 providers with the same sized pipe your peak utilization should never exceed 100% of a link, money wise your paying the difference in the per mbs rate and the port cost.

  20. Re:explain to me how this threatens cisco? on How Facebook Is Eating the $140 Billion Hardware Market · · Score: 2

    Hate to break it to ya software has always defined networks.

    There is a lot of noise about moving the management side out of the chassis. This does not magically make a L3 switch with a a 32k entry fib work as a core BGP router. In some ways it's nice you can stop paying your vendor for massively overpriced licences to turn on sunk cost features. It gets very scary when they want to throw boxes all over the place but centralize management. It realy seems like an excuse to keep putting in pitifully small CPU on L3 devices where a few hundred bucks for a xeon to run the high level stuff overseeing a mips arm etc that's dealing with low level hardware.

    But I guess it's to be expected these were the same sort of people that though 2 switches in a stack were redundant.

    It pretty much is 64 bits, anything more than that is the local segment, Pop a human readable version of the ipv4 address if the last /64 if you like.

    1234:abcd:5678:abcd:192:168:1:1 effectively means you just need to remember the first 64 that's the same for the subnet.

  24. Re:IPv6 on How Ready Is IPv6 To Succeed IPv4? · · Score: 1

    You only have to remember the prefix, after that you can easily put the human readable version of the box's ipv4 address. In a corp environment it's easy to have a site ID coupled with vlan ID.

    The whole concept of automatic addressing for anything but desktops is broken, security devices and routers often do not and should not have and DNS servers defined. IPv6 is perfectly happy with static addressing, do wish somebody would set aside a /8 or something for default everything's.
