I think that a better title would be "Google will bypass AAAA records."
And, as I read it, if you want to use IPv6 and are roaming (on WiFi or other networks), you won't know if it will work until you try it. This isn't really how dual stack is supposed to work.
The AmericaFree.TV traffic almost always peaks for the week Sunday evening. But, that is because we are a video service and most people watch from home (6:00 PM to 10:00 PM, local time, is the general peak audience for any time zone).
I would assume that that is true for most video services, so, if video dominates bandwidth usage, then it would be reasonable to assume that Internet bandwidth usage does peak on Sunday.
Well, here in Virginia I see a fair number of poisonous snakes, and coyotes do from time to time kill kids out West, but for North America you are basically correct. There are, however, a lot of things that can hurt you, and that is what I intended to say. If you ever (say) sit down on a convenient rock next to a fire ant nest to change camera lenses (as I did once) you will forever after pay more attention to where you sit. Once you see a snake sunning behind a log you just stepped over, you pay more attention to where you step, etc.
Well, and they also realized that the ability get semi-open farmland in Manhattan was rapidly disappearing. And they did pay for the land.
Note that Central Park was thoroughly designed (including the placement of rocks, ponds, etc.) by Frederick Law Olmsted. It is not "wild" in any sense of the term, unless maybe there is a concert going on.
First, Central Park was put on the edge of the city when it was built. In the 19th century people tended to think ahead more.
Second, I would bet the author has never actually been in a truly wild setting, where there are animals around that might hunt you. The wild is no place to be oblivious.
Third, note this from the original article (really a press release) :
The researchers also tested the same theory by having subjects sit inside and look at pictures of either downtown scenes or nature scenes and again the results were the same: when looking at photos of nature, memory and attention scores improved by about 20 percent, but not when viewing the urban pictures.
If looking at pictures can help your memory its clearly not so much where you are, as what you are looking at. I wonder what city views they were showing, and whether, say, views of Paris or Prague would cause the same reaction.
If what they are saying really boils down to that we need some beauty in our surroundings, they are a few thousand years behind the times.
False positives also affect secondary screening - if you have too many of them, it's hard to get people to take them seriously, and they are likely to miss true positives.
I always had a feeling that if there ever was such a thing as a singularity, the newly sentient devices, having no biological urges, might just shut themselves off.
- he drank a lot (and actually died soon of liver problems) - he was dangerous to a lot of people, and made a lot of enemies - his bullying didn't really go over well on television - like most emotional states, hysteria tends to be self-limiting
Child porn is of course the currently "indefensible" crime (the crime that no one can defend), and so of course prosecutors love to prosecute against it. The ironic thing is that they will wind up devaluing child porn if they are not stopped - it can either be a uniquely degrading and evil thing, or it can be squiggles on a piece of paper, but it can't be both at the same time.

Since 1988, therefore, you have not needed to register works to have them copyrighted under US Law. Whether this is a good thing or not is debatable, but it is US Law, so Apple did not have to register OS X. (Note : IANAL and this is not legal advice.)
Back in the mainframe days (when you were likely to be charged for every byte of storage and CPU cycle, hardware was viewed as expensive. But at least in my career, since about 1980 programmer time is viewed as the most expensive piece.
I have heard reports that some falls are hot when found, although many are cold. If they are big enough to still be supersonic near the ground, they are likely to land hot.
If I found a fresh fall, I would try and put it in a sterile container with tongs or something so I didn't touch it with my bare skin. The Tahish lake fall in my opinion was handled just about perfectly - never touched by hand, and placed immediately in a freezer.
Any major fall is highly likely to have an associated debris field - smaller pieces strewn along the meteor's track. If this really landed in a an urban area, it is a good bet that there are pieces of the meteor spread around, on people's cars or in their back yards.
As a by the way, I have asked some people at the U Auckland to look into trying to collect video information on the meteor.
A poster upstream says that they were on "Mt Eden watching the fireworks display."
I bet some people were videoing that fireworks display and left their cameras on. They would be a good start to determining the meteors trajectory.
Frequently these people won't even know that they recorded the meteor's passing (it isn't what they were intending to capture, and they may not look at the tape past the end of the fireworks). But, you can bet that someone on Mt Eden recorded its passing. The local college astronomy department or one of the NZ astronomy clubs should issue a call for people watching the fireworks to search their tapes. If there were any major sporting events at the time, that would also be a useful source.
Remember, the camera doesn't have to be pointed at the sky. Capturing the time of the light flash, or the direction people are pointing, or the reflection of the meteor in windows or car hoods (bonnets) can be just as useful.

In fact, if you read the New York Times article, these guys are experimentalists, and they are just trying to get theorists involved.
Dr. Kogut and his colleagues stressed that they do not really know where the signal comes from and they hope that theorists will take up the quest."
I would not put too much weight on their theoretical musings.

Yes, I did, and the article too.

I could believe this.

I got ipv6.google.com the night the IETF turned off IPv4, and that was
over 9 months ago.
I have a feeling that a lot of those estates will be dark or at least most of the lights busted and unrepaired.
If you go to many of the DC suburbs, you can see this now.
I don't understand this myself. It should be dark at night.
I also think it is false security. If the lights are on, they can see you. If the lights are off (and your eyes dark adopted) you can see them.
Or is this a different Illuminati Project ?

No, I don't find it surprising, or even than objectionable. I was mostly reacting to the OP.

I think you are thinking of Boston Commons, which was originally a common area for grazing.
Central Park was designed as a park, and was never (as a park) used for grazing cows.
First, Central Park was put on the edge of the city when it was built. In the 19th century people tended to think ahead more.

I have seen more than one person lead away from a gate in handcuffs after a random gate search turned up illegal drugs or other such nonsense.
So, what, illegal search and seizure makes you feel safer ?

So when my insides stop working correctly and I die that will be considered suicide?
"Once is an accident, twice is coincidence, three times is enemy action."
So, yes, if everyone in your city or town died at once, it would be considered suspicious.
I think that it was a combination of things
- he drank a lot (and actually died soon of liver problems)
- he was dangerous to a lot of people, and made a lot of enemies
- his bullying didn't really go over well on television
- like most emotional states, hysteria tends to be self-limiting
Who can be sure these stick figures are really over 18 ?
