The "consumer" is defined as people who want the wifi, the people whose power bill is being leeched off.. well, tough.
I would think that a lot of people belong to both these categories - you spend a lot of time at home, but sometimes you travel to other places where pain-free WiFi would be useful. However, most posters here seem to be saying these two sets are totally disjoint.
Funnily enough, if you inflation adjust the 1890s cost of the Strand Magazine with Sherlock Holmes installments then you get about $4. (sixpence = 1/40 * GBP)
IPv6 took a long time to get to 10% because it's a pain in the ass to support two things. This will turn around in IPv6's favor at some time in the future. With major IPv6 deployment IPv4 begins to look like last Tuesday's pizza, because you have to support IPv6, but you can save time and effort by making v4 users tunnel or convert. Network protocols don't tend to linger once they get below a certain level - see Appletalk, IPX, Banyan Vines, etc.
"It’s a poor atom blaster that won’t point both ways"
If you expand out the graph you can see that during the work week there are about 8% of users on IPv6, but at the weekends it increases. There is a two-speed internet, with residential and mobile leading the way, and corporate networks lagging behind.
Attributing the extra gravity phenomenon to dark matter is nothing more than a variation on the G-d-of-the-Gaps. Got a problem with gravity, Dark Matter.
For more than two decades you could have written:
Got a problem with beta decay energy conservation, "neutrinos".
Even as invisible particles, they were the best explanation on the table to explain beta decay. Then they got detected as well.
When I was a kid I read about manganese nodule mining on the sea floor. It later turned out that it was Project Azorian, where the nodules were a cover story for a CIA-funded attempt to lift a Soviet sub from the sea floor.
I strongly associate Vista with misery. I dual boot and only use Vista for my taxes. So in January I will get my regular experience of receiving nine months of Microsoft and Adobe updates. After rebooting a few times and telling Mr Ellison that no, I don't want the "Ask" toolbar, I can then settle down to fun and finance.
My normal boot option - Ubuntu 15.10 with Unity - is a lot nicer.

We could send robots onto the surface that could be directly and nearly instantaneously piloted by humans that are stationed on Phobos.
An automated car can drive 30 miles on US Highway 101, avoiding thousands of other moving objects going between 0mph and 65mph. Do we really need a human driver for the Mars robots, which only have to steer around some rocks, and are thousand of miles from any other vehicle? Especially as this would be the most expensive human driver ever.
Just look at the Hubble telescope. It has far exceeded it's expected life and is still sending images back. Not possible without people in orbit and putting hands on.
It would be much less expensive to construct ten telescopes and send one up every year or two on the cheapest possible launcher. Human repair only makes sense because you've already spent so much on the Space Shuttle.
You don't need someone to traipse across Mars, but having someone being able to change the tire on a rover enables it to continue its mission.
Rovers are cheap and patient. Humans are super-expensive and the costs for their consumables rack up very fast. We returned 12 humans from the Moon, which costs quite a lot of money. We have left dozens of landers on the Moon and Mars - although parts of Surveyor 3 came back with the Apollo 12 astronauts.
Yeah. Okay. And how many companies are sitting on vast blocks that are only partially tapped?
There's some interesting economics coming up. Companies will bid up the price of IPv4 blocks, but that will also make it look like a better idea to move to IPv6. Google's stats show IPv6 users have gone up from roughly 3.5% to 7% in twelve months. If you expand the graph you'll see IPv6 is higher at weekends, when people are at home, and lower on weekdays.
So the price of IPv4 will go up, but this will push companies toward IPv6 migration, and when that happens the worth of IPv4 blocks will drop significantly.
I assume this should be Vietnam, rather than Iran. This is from the earlier point that "the US ignored history and didn't learn the lessons of the Iraqi revolt against the British in 1920 or the events of the Vietnam War".
Certainly "Underreporting U.S. casualties, over reporting enemy losses, and obfuscating how terrible the situation on the ground was." sounds like a good summary of what was done in Vietnam.

10% of users accessed Google with IPv6 yesterday: http://www.google.com/intl/en/...
If you expand out the graph you can see that during the work week there are about 8% of users on IPv6, but at the weekends it increases. There is a two-speed internet, with residential and mobile leading the way, and corporate networks lagging behind.
Prediction: 14% at weekends next year.

their problem is Google pulled their funding
No, Mozilla decided to go with Yahoo: Yahoo usurps Google in Firefox search deal

I've been hearing from that impeding doom for about 10 years. In the meantime never have I seen one IPv6 implementation actually be used.
You have now. Here's IPv6 being used to vandalize Wikipedia!.

Is Fred a common name in Brasil?
Wikipedia has articles on Fred, Fred and Fred. All three are soccer players.
we can up the power and antenna significantly, and that's the end of your expenses.
Your competitors will ramp up their power, and then you will ramp yours up some more and then they will be drowned out and decide to ramp theirs up...
But it all works out well, because we can save money on radios and just listen to your station through our fillings.
The last footprint (so far) on the Moon came less than four years after the first. Can Mars exploration be more resistant to budget cuts than Apollo?
Yeah. Okay. And how many companies are sitting on vast blocks that are only partially tapped?

We should have 3D-printed robotic redcoats so we can give the third amendment some love as well.
