That would only be true if each person was wandering around Wikipedia editing perfectly good articles down to their own level of ignorance. While that concept is comedy gold, it's not reality. Ordinary people encountering a Wikipedia article about something they're ignorant of will read it an learn, not edit it destructively.
The article cites GPS, and I have no doubt they're going to cite the Internet. The original comment was talking about military technology as a category that was excluded, which wouldn't make sense unless they meant stuff that is still mainly military.
As far as warfare goes: control (as opposed to mere genocide, which is so easy it's routine) requires controlling cities. Controlling cities appears to be impossible anymore if the other side has RPGs and AK-47s and local support, no matter how studly your tanks are.
Whizzy technology is great for winning big flashy battles, but so what? The US and Russia still lost Vietnam, Afghanistan, Chechnya, Somalia, and Iraq, and Israel is at a permanent standstill with Palestine, and never mind their tremendous technological advantages.
OK, the JDAM is clever and everybody wants a GPS in their car, but we're observing right now that urban warfare technology hasn't meaningfully advanced since 1961.
The internet is the global network, most-but-not-all of which uses TCP/IP, and the services that run on top of it. It's a common noun in common usage, and never you mind what your pet style guide says.
Many general-purpose tools can be misused to commit crimes. Banning them can make it difficult or impossible to do the legitimate things they're intended for.
$450 plus custom software plus the effort of the hookup plus the risk of jail, all to save forty pieces of eight per month? Arrr, that do sound like a bum deal, matey. I'd rather be robbin' cruise ships off the Phillipines.
...at least not since Microsoft dropped support for NT 4 PPC in 1997. There is no reason to believe it will ever be back, if only because nobody ever bothered to port applications to it.
With a striped pair of mirrors, a total failure happens only if both drives in one of the mirrors fail; there are two ways this can happen.
With a mirrored pair of stripes, a total failure happens whenever any two drives in different stripes fail; there are four ways this can happen.
In both cases, there are (4 2) = 6 pairs of drives that can fail. Given that two drives have failed, there's a 2/6 = 33% chance that the RAID 1+0 will fail, but a 4/6 = 67% chance that the RAID 0+1 will fail.
It could be used for Token Ring or phone service or KVM relay, but it's not.
Something else could be used for ethernet, like RG-58, but it's not.
It's used for IP and things on top of IP, but a whole lot of other things are used for that as well.
It's an ethernet cable. You use it for ethernet. Very rarely do you need more detail; when you do, you say it's Category 5e UTP or whatever. But in ordinary usage, it's ethernet cable. Deal.
That's your positive assertion. Well, actually, it's the question you're begging. It's generally a reasonable assumption that people in a war zone have trouble getting food.
That the hydrogen was the problem is highly debatable. The reason it sucks is just that it has terrible energy density, not that it's more likely to blow up than, say, propane.
Giving the voter proof of who they voted for defeats the purpose of secret ballots: you can coerce somebody to vote in a certain way and to present you with the proof that they did.
It generally is public information whether or not a person voted in a given election. They check you off in a great big book, and if you're a politician and haven't voted, they hassle you for it.

Pls RTFM bfr cmmnt kthxby.
...and how many transistors to implement each assembly instruction? It's HUGE! HUGE I tell you!
If I wanted to run code at 1/10th normal speed, I'd pick something out of a dumpster.

I really don't.
Please try to keep up.
...isn't the phenomenon the original comment was talking about.

Hollings and Berman are both Democrats, frex.

I've always wanted to have my thumb chopped off so a thief can get into my building.

Here's a clear and concise explanation, with pictures.
With a striped pair of mirrors, a total failure happens only if both drives in one of the mirrors fail; there are two ways this can happen.
With a mirrored pair of stripes, a total failure happens whenever any two drives in different stripes fail; there are four ways this can happen.
In both cases, there are (4 2) = 6 pairs of drives that can fail. Given that two drives have failed, there's a 2/6 = 33% chance that the RAID 1+0 will fail, but a 4/6 = 67% chance that the RAID 0+1 will fail.

It's an ethernet cable. You use it for ethernet. Very rarely do you need more detail; when you do, you say it's Category 5e UTP or whatever. But in ordinary usage, it's ethernet cable. Deal.
Therefore "ethernet cable" is the correct terminology.
(This has been brought to you by the English For Engineers foundation. HTH, HAND.)
If I were realistically trying to do wireless power, I would use a low-power signal to locate the target, then send the power in a tight beam.
This method has its own problems (caution: grotesque laser wounds), of course, but at least it's not physically impossible.
Right now it triples the price of a switch. (Compare the 2626 and 2626-PWR, for example.)
So no.
That's your positive assertion. Well, actually, it's the question you're begging. It's generally a reasonable assumption that people in a war zone have trouble getting food.
when your choice is to use these seeds or starve?
Call me crazy, but I think not.
That the hydrogen was the problem is highly debatable. The reason it sucks is just that it has terrible energy density, not that it's more likely to blow up than, say, propane.

Don't all those context switches slow you down?
