True, but it seems to me that it's overused, as I often read 'price point' when the distinction isn't relevant. I always suspect the author of just wanting to sound fancier without knowing what the difference is.
What similarly drives me nuts is the use of 'mark,' as in "At the <bla> <dollar/second/mile> mark." Mostly just sentence stuffing; the opposite of good writing. Certainly the opposite of pleasant reading.
I further doubt that most people still think single queue, multiple servers is perceived by customers as the least efficient.
Indeed. When I read that I thought, "Speak for yourself buddy. I'm always irritated having to choose from 8 queues (or so) at supermarkets and then getting stuck in a slow one."
The dots in the graph there's actually a 6 months gap in the data, and the line is still drawn to suggest perfect linear growth; horrible visualisation.
yes it is. the realtime augmented reality is worlds away from the slow and quite clumsy (esp for translations) submit/retrieve cycle of google goggles. (and i'm very impressed with goggles already.)
Ingress filtering.
Unless you mean the packet with bogus source is accepted into their network and isn't dropped until it's forwarded to another, which would be silly, and allows spoofing of the isp's network ip's.
Just as a personal opinion: I personally can't wait for that, from where I stand the "trying to redress things it's done wrong in the past" part is not noticeable enough.
How about the shitstorm they have put the world in RIGHT NOW.
In case you are wondering which shitstorm - I can think of several, you pick one.
I suspect that as the police might be on the receiving end of some of those fired shots, they would be unlikely to be opposed to a system which worked reliably.
What good would a system telling you where the shot came from do if the officer is the one being shot? I.e., there already?
ITYM the equivalent of *either* of 2 passwords instead of one. Where one of the two (the answer to the security question) is often easy to find out.
I agree with you totally btw:) I always give em random answers too.

An American bank financing a person ingaging in violation of Espionage Act of 1917
The bank isn't financing.

I'm talking about the originating isp doing ingress filtering at the customer.

Same reason everyone uses *zilla to describe something big. Its part of modern culture.
Or -illiterate to describe someone not savvy with something (nothing to do with reading).
