  1. Re:5 or 8 port switch at the entertainment center on Ask Slashdot: How Would You Build a Home Network To Fully Utilize Google Fiber? · · Score: 1

    With poorly labeled cables in a tiny space, you might accidentally plug two ethernet cables from the main switch into the downstream switch. I suppose that could also happen on a multi-interface end device, though outside of dual-homed static IP servers, I can't recall running across that situation.

    It's weird that you say this. Town North Nissan had deals and a decent number of them in November 2013. Ended up getting a Prius C but it was an incredibly close choice.

    Have you ever seen a Nissan dealership actively offering a LEAF, or they just have them in case you already made up your mind ?

    Yes. Town North Nissan in Austin, TX. November 2013.

    Most American cities were built after the invention of the railroad. (ca 1825)

    I can't tell if you're agreeing with him or not or ... ?

    Most cities were founded after the invention of the railroad. Most of the growth of cities was post-automobile era, however. Certainly after the early 20th century industrialization. It was easier and more compelling for a number of reasons to foster automobile growth rather than public transportation (like the reasons aforementioned in the thread).

    Am I missing something about your post?

    The debt owned by the public equates to 12 trillion which is something I'd call huge.

    Interestingly, U.S. household wealth topped $74.8 trillion this year, making you wonder if those debt hawks are squawking about a problem that's not as bad as it sounds out of context.

  15. Re:Spreadsheets? on Why Reactive Programming For Databases Is Awesome · · Score: 1

    In general, it is bad form to peek under the sheets in the database. However, it could be extremely useful to tie a trigger to a primary key + address for these specific cases. The database should also not block on it if there is no DML or DDL going on -- just piping to a message queue or executing an external script or whatever.

    Blue-skying. It's still early, here.

    Apparently, since we're inside the universe and there's a ground and you can measure gravity and mass, you can come up with an estimate. However, if you were an outside observer making only global observations about the tree-falling universe, nothing has changed.
