Are their any ISP's out there which support residential IPv6?
My ISP (in Europe) has supported IPv6 for a few years now. A while ago I got a firmware update for my ADSL modem, and since then I've been automatically connected with an IPv6 address, as well as an IPv4 address. I didn't have to do anything on my side, and it just works. It's surprising that not more ISPs have taken the same route.
Nothing usual about a real ship, if that means it's capable of interstellar travel. Even nuclear fusion, which we don't have, wouldn't be good enough to travel to the stars.
The Mandelbrot set itself is the collection of points that are shown as black. The set itself is a fully connected, but very complicated, shape. If you zoom in on a point inside of it, after a while you only see black. If you zoom in on a point outside of it, it will become another solid color. In order to keep it interesting, you need to zoom in right on the edge. But the edge is infinitely long, so there are many interesting points where you can zoom in.
But then how did those continents get so big in the first place? Surely shrinking continents is only the case when life did evolve, but then theoretically all dies off
Probably the continents would have been bigger in the ancient Earth, because there wouldn't have been so much water yet. Without life, and with increasing amounts of water, the continents would get smaller.
Fixing climate change is going to take some time and effort, on several fronts simultaneously
We're not going to fix (i.e. go back to early 20th century) it. For the next century it's only getting worse. At best we can try to slow down the rate at which it's getting worse.
It should be possible to figure out which it is by comparing the genome of the resistant bacteria, and see if they have common genes for the resistance.
But I don't see why it would be so difficult for the local bacteria to develop resistance. Many antibiotics are based on stuff we find in nature, and the amazonian tribe probably uses natural substances to fight diseases. Resistance would be a logical result of that.
Of course, when you write specification "X", there are usually some mistakes. A contractor may spot the mistakes, but follow the letter of the specification anyway. When everything is finished, and you discover that "X" was wrong, you get an additional contract to fix things.
Not always true. Sometimes, he loses the contract and it goes to someone else
That's a matter of skillful management. Make sure that the client is already invested too much, and that the overrun would cost less than finding someone else for the contract. Also, make sure that the original contract is written in a way that the budget is not guaranteed, and that you can blame the overrun on the client (poor specification). And finally, a nice bribe is always helpful.
Slashdot Mirror
with receivers on top of everyone's monitor with much better total throughput and less interference than RF.
What about laptops, tablets and phones ?
When you're dealing with a large area with dense users (airport, lecture hall, arena, etc), wireless becomes really hard
That's because they insist on using the small (3-4 channels) and crowded 2.4GHz band.

If you want to kill people from orbit, you should take bricks up with you and throw them out the airlock, it's way more likely to succeed.
No, the bricks will just enter a slightly tilted orbit, intersecting the original one at the point of throw.
They would have escalated to a steel-cage death match, but the signal drop was too great,
At least, it would have been too great for the iPhone.
How does heat affect the orbit?
You vaporize one side of the object, and the expanding gases provide some thrust.
It's not difficult at all to win a debate with one's self over whether you deserve that pastry
Often, there isn't even a debate. That's even easier.
Comes built-in. It's called "thirst"
Xaos can't zoom in far enough.
You're a decade too late. Even a modestly budgeted machine will (if not intentionally underpowered) romp over master chess players.
A decent smartphone will romp over grandmaster chess players.
How many prison sentences have been reversed after the last appeal was over ?

If only there was some sort of a 'fractal compression' method.
I'm looking forward to your decompressing code that can reproduce the video in less than 16 minutes.
But then you would expect a similar amount of land to disappear again.

As long as you get to shoot first.

You can slow down the rate at which bacteria become resistant.
They both are theories, but only one is scientific
Or rather: one is a scientific theory, the other isn't.
