WiFi routers get replaced fairly regularly because the cheap ones most people buy have some crappy component in them that starts to degrade over time until their wifi becomes really crappy to use.
Unless you pay a lot for quality gear, or you get lucky, 5 years is a long time for a consumer/home user WAP to last. If you see a Dlink or Linksys WAP thats 5 years old and still works well, you're indeed lucky.
Except that this has nothing to do with IPv6. IPv6 will do nothing to resolve this problem and will in fact make it worse because the problem itself is due to a router not having enough RAM and nothing about IPv6 results in less RAM usage.
Sure, we should get on the IPv6 bandwagon, well, except it sucks right now and can lead to some annoying connectivity issues when sites are misconfigured, or setup IPv6 and then forget about it so you're trying to connect to an IPv6 address thats no longer used because no one bothered to update DNS... or their IPv6 connection is through one of their shitty over saturated links.
My ISP does IPv6, as does all my equipment. I had to disable it so that the rest of my family doesn't wonder why random sites don't work on their PC but work fine on their phone and while I can't remember the ones off to the top of my head, there are some big ones that regularly fuck up. Hell, even Google's IPv6 connectivity is shoddy at times.
The results of that 'study' are subjective and the study was biased from the start to show results that favor affirmative action.
Your study is bunk. It starts off by finding qualified individuals, then claims because it puts a diverse group in competition that its emulating affirmative action, which is entirely not the case.
You show experimental proof, done by an experiment intent on proving what it did.
Experiments and the real world are two entirely different things, but hey, don't let your agenda crowd your vision or anything. And we're going to ignore the selection bias as well.
Well, considering that most of the staff at a store are 'Geniuses' then that is almost certainly true.
There is only 1 GM, and less than a handful of AMs so its going to be pretty hard to have anything but 'most of the XXX are Geniuses' regardless of what XXX actually is.
ARK is your friend if you don't have the CPU. dmesg, kernel boot showing feature flags, or CPU-id or whatever the windows app is will all tell you what your CPU supports.
Your Linux box will probably just have an update with new microcode for the issue and you'll never need to know anything about it, or it will fiddle with the cpu flags to show it as disabled anyway.
Basically 'if you don't know, it doesn't affect you'
... Yes, even in perfect operating condition, they still don't compete with the current line of Intel chips. If you want to argue on price per buzzword, AMD is fine, but they are in no way 'the fastest' x86 chips.
And lets not pretend AMD has never had CPU bugs, even if you're too stupid to know about them.
Considering that even with TSX disabled, the chips will still perform above and beyond a comparable AMD CPU in almost every way, I doubt anyone other than fanboys are laughing.
You'll still need the hardware h265 decoding to do it via airplay unless you want to watch your iPad suck through its battery before the movie finishes.
1. Yes, when the government mandates that something MUST be privatized the result is that companies take advantage of the government requirement, especially when there is essentially no competition. Its like a tax auction, you don't walk in with a high bid, you start with the absolute lowest possible one you can. Would you rather pay %50 of the price of your next car, or sticker price plus $20k?
2. They shut down 4 reactors and there is no perceivable impact and none expected for any time in the near future, clearly a dangerous single point of failure... Do you know what the word single means? You can't have a single point of failure when there are 4 of them. You can't have a single point of failure when nothing fails when 4 of them go down without an actual failure.
What is worse is when you get a teacher that makes you down for not doing it their convoluted and retarded way. Sorry teacher but I can do all that in my head, and you are marking me down because I am not slowing down and driving myself insane with the archaic and backwards way of finding the answer.
Its not all about you or what you think is right, and you don't actually know everything regardless of what you think. Doing it in your head is fine when the teacher isn't trying to understand what you're doing, but when it comes to understanding what you're thinking process is, not showing your work makes it fairly hard.
Luckily I had parents that would scream at the teachers and principal. we finally went over the their heads to the superintendent where he read off questions, and I typically had the answer before he finished reading did they realize that teaching at pot head speeds did not work for me.
So you're an arrogant prick and your parents spoiled you and let you have your way. And better still, you think its your privilege to do whatever you think is the right way and ignore people with years of experience doing something.
Everything you've said just screams 'asshole'. Its one thing for a teenager to think the way you think, but you're old enough at this point that you should know better than to say the things you're saying.
Fitting into the real world is just as much a sign of intelligence as your ability to do mental arithmetic, so climb the fuck off your high horse and get some social skills you arrogant prick. You aren't special, guys like you are a dime a dozen.
So basically you just learned how to do a full application (web server and GUI via html) and you think its new. Funny that just happens to be 20 years old as well, and its certainly not the first type someone wrote client server applications.
Nothing you're doing is new other than you're doing it now instead of someone else.
You just learned to do the 'full stack'. I've been doing it for over 20, before the web existed. Different languages, different layout engines, different libraries, same process.
Twitter because you can't be bothered to complete a thought so you think 140 characters is enough?
Facebook or G+ because you think everything should be public?
Random message boards/forums scattered all over the Internet with no central repository because you like using an infinite number of services to accomplish what we solved 35 years ago with one?
Or is it just that you're such a douche that no one communicates with you, so you truly have no need for it?
Great for you and all 6 people you communicate with. In the real world, that doesn't work, you know for those of us who have to communicate with all sorts of random people who aren't computer dorks. I use the term specifically because you're acting like a computer dork rather than a geek.
I properly built dyson sphere, one that actually captured ALL the energy output, would emit no radiation. Thats kind of the definition of a dyson sphere.
Heat is a waste product, efficient energy use doesn't necessitate heat.
The fossil fuel industry has so many tax and environmental subsidies and costs that go ignored by most people. Duke power dumps a shit load of coal ash into a river and WE the taxpayer pays for it in more ways than money. And there''s the economic consequences - that cost Duke nothing.
Citation needed.
A) its illegal and environmental groups would be all over it
B) Duke is actually pretty good about trying to handle coal waste and keeping the environment clean. They've also tried to open a couple new nuclear plants over the past decade rather than increase coal usage, of course thats been shot down by NIMBYs but calling Duke out as being dirty is just bullshit.
Not all problems can be corrected with contacts. It wasn't until the last 15 years that contacts could correct one of my issues.
Not all people can deal with contacts. It took me a number of YEARS to finally get to the point where I can put my contacts in and remove them at the speed and with the little effort that pretty much everyone else that wears them does.
Like wise, my primary vision issue, non-binocular vision, can not be corrected with surgery, well, not LASIK surgery anyway, but glasses don't fix that particular aspect either.
Right, because they put data centers to handle Tor traffic... in DC...
Instead of somewhere that doesn't cost some ridiculous sum of money per square foot of land and just provide a connection to the data center back to DC.
Your theory is obviously stupid its makes you look silly for mentioning it.
And the best part 'couldn't be removed'... explain that one without sounding like you know nothing about OSS.

Yea, its important ... because they've just realized they need to do multi-part/nested queries.
Its not really impressive, its a 'no shit sherlock', and I'm blown away that google can't do this already.
Watson can.
The important part is that someone just realized they need to do one query, look at the type answer and then use that to generate a new query.
Well, okay, its not really important or even new ... as I said, Watson can do it and has been able to for years.

Sigh, when you make theories to fit your observations, of course they match.
Doesn't make them any more correct.
And no, if you run that backwards it doesn't work out that its all in the same place.

You clearly don't understand his problem.
All the reasons you listed to 'fix my eyes' by which, you mean surgery, are covered with little to no inconvenience by wearing glasses.
Wearing glasses isn't a big deal to him (or most people) for any of the things you listed.
You can view mountains fine with glasses. You can view forests fine with glasses. You can love your child with glasses with little to no issues.
Try wearing goggles with glasses and you'll understand the difference.
But hey, you should totally assume you understand this guys point of view because its different than yours.
And you
