    Sure they are. After all, the Internet is just a series of tubes, a.k.a. pipes.

    I guess "scientists" is the new "hackers". Two words that used to mean specialists but are now used to describe any jerk with even a tiny amount of knowledge in the field.

    He said "1/3 of the sea level rise". If the sea level rised 3cm, then 1cm would be caused by thermal expansion of the whole sea.

    Because Hollywood people know shit about everything.

    I can't count the number of times I've seen incredibly stupid things like a train sliding on the ground for almost half a kilometer as if the ground was a slippery surface, how a man could survive an airborne trip inside a fridge caused by a nuclear explosion and somehow land intact because the fridge "protected him", etc.

    Final Fantasy XIV is a more forgiving in regard to traveling, playing solo is much easier and going through quests and dungeons is a lot easier with automatic party matching. You can even continue playing somewhere else while the party is being matched and you get teleported to the dungeon when the party is completed, and then get teleported back to where you were playing when the dungeon started.

    Well, you're half-right.

    Supply does not apply anymore.
    Demand is limited to the number of compatible devices.
    And for specialized software, demand is limited to a subset of users of said compatible devices.
