My ISP supports IPv6 and I didn't even realise until I ran ifconfig and saw IPv6 addresses. Just because your ISP can't handle it don't assume others can't!

Those analytics scripts are usually from an analytics service provider, and so are incredibly well cached, and shared across services. If you are repeatedly downloading the 15.7KB Google Analytics JS file, you are doing something wrong.
If you'd spent any time looking in to HTTP performance, you'd know there is a lot to be desired. HTTP/2 is a step in the right direction. It's not saving a couple of bytes, it's saving a shit-tonne of bytes, using connections more efficiently, and improving encryption support massively.
But I'm sure your anonymous, throw-away, off-hand comment carries far more weight than the actual experts in this field.
Here in Germany it's a bit weird. Any online banking done through my bank's website requires the use of a separate TAN-generator device. One inserts the card into the side, presses a button, and holds it against a flickering pattern on the screen. After a couple of seconds the device shows the last few digits of the payee's account number and the amount to be transferred/paid, and then a TAN which is typed back in to the website. It gets weird with things like Netflix or Amazon - one can simply enter the bank account details, and payment is taken from your account that way. This is only available to compliant companies, and any fraud can be reported to your bank for them to take care of (which they do - with zeal). It comes from Germany's love affair for invoices. Back in the early days of online commerce, when Germans purchased goods from the net, they would be sent the goods with an invoice to pay - payment was accepted after the goods had arrived in the hands of the customer. It's a cultural thing, I guess.
Practically every single terminal where I live (Germany) has a shade. They're usually thick rubber which extend a few centimetres from the keypad, obscuring anyone's view of it. Some are hard plastic in a similar configuration. These are also present on the vast majority of ATMs. Each terminal also has a sticker advising the user to cover the keypad when entering their PIN.
Don't confuse the ISPs you know of with all ISPs - there are plenty which offer great service for a reasonable price, and who don't snoop. Finding one in the US might be a bit trickier than in other places, but they still exist.
This is pathetic. People use the doors to balance their washing baskets full of clothes. People with reduced mobility use them to get up and down to use the machine. Leaning on them is expected. You also seem to be missing the fact he was being supervised by at least two uniformed Samsung employees at the time...
Get a grip, please. You are embarrassing yourself somewhat.
He was standing next to two Samsung employees (wearing their Samsung shirts and everything) while he tested the hinges. They were supervising him, and allowed him to do what he did.
They're probably worried about the negative press when overclockers send their melted notebooks back, while claiming they were not overclocking when the they melted. I'm sure it's cheaper for them to disable overclocking than hire all the lawyers and forensic examiners required to establish the truth in cases of melted notebooks. So yeah - NVidia would be responsible, as the burden of proof would be on them.
They keep missing those Chinese subs which turn up during exercises, or those Australian diesel subs which keep on "sinking" the US ships in similar exercises. But I guess that gets in the way of your boner, so you don't want to think about it...
It's not true at all. Mainframes were all located in-house, or externally with very specific contracts outlining what was available and when. Extra computing power was not available at the click of a button. Your resources were available only in the pre-designated geographical areas, and were fixed there when running. Yeah, sure - they both involve computers you don't see, and often involved the sharing of resources in a shared system, but that's where the similarities end. It is a fucking bore every time someone mentions cloud computing and some muppet crows that it's just mainframe computing all over again, showing in one fell swoop that they understand neither cloud computing or mainframes in any sufficient depth. It doesn't make you look knowledgeable to claim they're the same thing - it makes you look ignorant and blinded by hubris.
Your little network diagram "gotcha" is nothing of the sort - cloud computing sure has its beginnings in mainframe time-sharing, but you'd have to be borderline retarded to try to compare what we had then with what we have now.
Or maybe you're missing the point - the phone never leaves your possession. The on-screen barcode is scanned, or the NFC is accessed. But I guess it's easier and more fun to just knee-jerk away.
I've never had to show ID when buying alcohol (outside the US, that is). Where I grew up we didn't need to carry our drivers licenses when driving - if the cops needed to see it, they'd give you a notice to show up at your local police station with the ID within a few days. Land of the free my ass:)
You do realise that to rational people, your vomitous post only achieved one thing - to show the reader that you really don't understand the world you live in, or fully appreciate that other people are just as much a person as you are. I'm sure you envisaged it as some sabre-like attack on the "current state of things", but that clearly backfired.
"Muslim Caliphate" and "PC pussies" show everyone just how lost you truly are. It's sad. Something must have gone terribly wrong in your life for you to hold such unfounded opinions.
You say that as if you're proud of it! You are essentially saying "I don't understand science, or I don't trust it, even though the benefits of vaccination have been demonstrated for hundreds of years, to the point where I will endanger my children, and the children of others". Pathetic.
The scientists in question were convicted because they predicted no earthquake, not because they didn't predict an earthquake. Not saying "there will be an earthquake" and saying "there will not be an earthquake" are two different things, clearly. I know it hurts one's argument to admit it, as then you can't instantly discredit the court's judgement, but it doesn't make you look particularly honest when you parrot these claims.
I stopped reading at "becoming a Muslim city" because clearly you get your information, at least partly, from gibbering sources, and you seem quite happy with it.
Don't confuse Top Gear and real life - that won't end well for you. Train travel in (continental) Europe is a far different beast to that in the UK. Fast, clean, affordable, punctual trains serve every city/large town, with regional routes connecting them to the smaller towns and villages.

They have to use the information if they are to send it anywhere. That's kind of what networks are designed to do...

1/1/80 = Tuesday

I had to look up 0, but I'm not sure if I knew or correctly guessed 1/1/80 as being a Tuesday. Weird.

You should probably get off this site, then... :)
Where you live, maybe. Don't tar every native English speaker with that brush - it doesn't reflect very well on anyone involved.
Which you clearly don't if you think the word never applies to guns...
