Yep. Because selling used equipment to Africa can be called illegal export of e-waste, it has to be destroyed and a lot ends up in landfills. Real fucking green.
Guaranteed death in a car accident -- what's not to love?
Three major wrecks while riding a motorcycle. I still ride, and I am apparently alive as well. However, if you have have figured out a way to get out of this life without dieing, I am all ears!
Cadillac did it for the entire 80s. It took Decades to buy back some of the reputation, and it is still not where it was. Mercedes did it for a few years in the 90s. Because they did it for less time, it only took a decade to come back.
But soon after that, there is a bounce. Now WalMart is the last place you shop when you do not care about quality. A one time use option. And people prefer "anything but WalMart" for stuff they want to keep. So who has higher margins on a pan, WalMart where people shop only on price, or Sur La Table where people are willing to pay for quality. (Which, amusingly enough, costs less when you factor in replacement costs.)
It amazes me when companies sell down their good name. It takes a lot of time and money to earn it, and it never brings in as much when you do this. So not too more companies on my "avoid" list. Luckily there is a lot of competition.
So the cabal of moneyed elites with their mining super rigs who currently dominate the network, will be pushed out by black hats. I'm sure the future of bitcoin is in good hands.
If the DDOS people are attacking because the mining group is gaming the system, who really has the black hat?
However, the large mining groups also make large targets. A simple DDOS makes them small potatoes again. http://www.cryptocoinsnews.com... A few of these and the big mining groups will start breaking up.
I know it's very fashionable to have allergies these days but a tummy ache is not anaphylaxis. Try taking it with food next time.
Anaphylaxis is not the only allergic reaction. Not even the only life threatening one. And NVD (Nausa, vomiting, diarrhea) during a respiratory illness is very deadly.
Yes, they ignore the fact that those un-immunized 15% gave a nice reservoir for the illness to mutate and develop stronger strains, like illnesses do. And lets not bring in the fact that most Americans have piss poor immune systems to begin with, and the shots just make one facet stronger, not invincible.
2) Hey, they don't appear to be using those addresses, let's take those!
Very valid. There is a/8 assigned to packet radio operation... Not common, and not often connected to the actual Internet anymore. Oh, and not paid for at all.
3) Double/Triple-NAT is good enough for me and everyone else!
I am with you here. Especially that nasty NAT abomination in 2Wire routers "DMZ Plus Mode."
4) Let's give out one IP address to everyone and we'll be set for awhile!
Never heard that one...
5) Let's make a new protocol!
That is how IPv6 came about. But then again, look how it turned out...
6) IPv6 addresses are too big to remember!
Very valid point. Especially when your ISP DNS craps out and you can actually remember 4.2.2.2 or 8.8.8.8 or 198.6.1.1 without the Internet to look it up.

With the present economy, everyone is coming from the east coast to Texas. :)
Hipsters.
But but... It's not "electric" so it uses like energy and stuff!

the appeal behind motorcycles is gotta go fast
There are 200,000 Harley buyers a year that disagree with you.
What do game programmers need? Multiple displays that work well for the task at hand.
A 39 inch 4kTV is the equivalent of 4 20 inch 1080p monitors together.
I have 2 clients with Seiko 4kTVs as monitors and it is fantastic for them. Another case of "This is not what I need, so no one needs it."
Then read more... http://arstechnica.com/gaming/... There were lots of cluster projects, but they all went away.

This raises short term profits, and the damage does not show up on this years earnings. So the CEO still gets his bonus, and moves on.
There's no danger in buying a Playstation 4. What are they going to do, rootkit their own hardware?
No, just remove advertised functionality with an update. http://www.techpowerup.com/156...

Oh they promised! Well, color me convinced.
And if they break it (like they did) a simple DDOS attack knocks them off the top spot, (like it did) and sets a scary precedent...
It is also a cough suppressant.

If only there was a shot which cured idiocy.
There are several... 9mm .45 cal 7.62x39
7) You just need to sell it better!
Huh?
You do realize he thought he was listing an invalid list of responses...
Yep. And I had heard all but the last one. However, I was pointing out that a lot of them are in fact valid.

1) Just re-assign multicast!
Silly, and amusing, but possible. :)

At least enough to fill that last class c... :)
I would not be surprised if the packet radio /8 goes away at some point.
