And what makes you think ISPs won't charge per IP address on IPv6?
Well, by the current standards residential assignments in IPv6 will generally be allocated a subnet size of/48,/56, or/64 (out of 128) - see here for ARIN address plan. Given the fact that a subnet of one of those sizes will be required for even basic connectivity, the chances are that you will have a lot of v6 IPs included in the basic cost of your connection.
IPv4 has almost 256^4 or around 4 billion IP's that's almost one IP per person on the planet and plenty to last a *LONG* time.
Yeah in the same way that two quarters is "almost" a dollar.
Of course, that's ignoring multicast, private blocks, other special reserved blocks, and broadcast/network addresses that are not globally uniquely assignable to devices.
And how many genuinely foolproof and fail-safe machines do you use every day without noticing, because they work so well?
0. None. Zip. Zilch. There's no such thing as something that's genuinely foolproof and can't fail.
"Fail-safe" does not mean "free from failure". Fail-safe means that when said machine fails, it always fails in such a way that minimizes harm to equipment and operators.
Compressed air is just a medium in which to store energy. The energy could come from solar panels on your garage. It compresses the air. The air powers you car. Zero emitions.
Okay, smart guy. Explain to us the zero-emissions process for manufacturing those solar panels, your air compressor, and your air car.
The technology has also been proven dangerous, why do you think microwave ovens have switches built in to turn the oven off when the door is opened? Would you step in a human scaled one and let someone turn it on?
Two words: power density.
An average consumer microwave oven has at least 600W of microwave power confined inside a tiny box. If you open the door, you are likely standing in front of it which would give you a fair amount of microwave exposure.
The microwave transmitter referred to in the TFA is likely to only transmit at up to a few watts using a directional antenna in the open air, and you are not likely to ever be standing right in front of it.
According to you and who else? Any (legitimate) source of the common definition doesn't restrict the definition to living things vs. living things and even has the sense that includes nonliving things vs. nonliving things. e.g. The tornado violently tore the roof from the house.
You might further whatever your cause is by not making things up for your own convenience.
There are other security measures you can take with the Cisco gear to keep clients from communicating with each other (provided you have properly set up encryption), but the more measures you implement, the less likely they are to play nicely with non-Cisco gear.
I'll throw in project-based resource controls, zones/containers, trusted Solaris, consistent public kernel API for drivers that won't automatically GPL your code, and a few other things.
Other OSes may offer something similar, but Solaris offers the whole set and largely does it right.
For instance, when requesting a small static file over Apache, the file is probably being fetched right out of the cache. This test might catch a few badly implemented filesystems or hard drive electronics, but the ones in the article might as well be thrown out.
I stopped reading once I saw the Apache "benchmark." I guarantee it never touched the disk after the first time the small static file was read.
So how does it start working if it gets all its power from flies and needs power to capture flies? If it has a power cord to plug it in or a battery, then that pretty much defeats the whole purpose of the "robot" to begin with.
I don't know. How did you start eating food if you need to eat in order to gain energy to obtain food? If you have to be plugged in, it pretty much defeats the purpose of being alive to begin with.

Umm, Solaris is free. So, of course support is above and beyond what you pay for it.
Ahh, forgot we were talking about mobile phones.
AT&T has a lot of infrastructure worldwide, but you're probably right about mobile phones.
Oh really?
Well, it was worth the wait. :-)
My wife is allergic to latex.
That was a very unfortunate thing to discover on the honeymoon. Thank God for polyurethane....

I have IPv6 at home and have a /48 allocation.

I certainly don't support racists or homophones ...
You don't support homophones ??? I had no idea someone would take such a position.
That explains why some people refuse to learn the difference between "their", "there", and "they're"...
Same approach I take. I also built a MythTV box so I can catch shows that are on when I otherwise would be doing something besides watching TV.
I haven't paid for TV for years.
You know, you could just stop buying the product if you don't like it.

We're waiting.
You can thank your beloved Apple marketing gurus for that one.

It is my understanding that the proprietary nVidia graphics drivers do exactly this.
No better argument for paid support than news like this. Fortune 500 companies don't suddenly stop answering the phone.
Being on the S&P 500 index doesn't make you a Fortune 500 company.
Not for dekstops/laptops, you mean.
I just deployed a bunch of IBM servers. They aren't made by Lenovo.
Hence why I said some...

One problem with sharing WiFi is there doesn't seem to be an _easy_ way to do it so that your guest's traffic is secure from another guest.
There is some protection available if you use a Cisco access point.

Right?
$400k here, $400k there. Not even worth contemplating. Nope. Not even after a few thousand such drops in the bucket.
