Better performance in higher density areas. If you're within wifi range of 50 residences, each of which has their own wired uplink, they still have to share the same wireless spectrum. More is better.
Wired networks used to use a sort of timeslot based system, we called it token ring. Then we discovered that collision detection and backoff could work better and have no central authority. We call it Ethernet.
No, Ethernet was cheaper not faster. And you're talking about 15 years ago.
Current Ethernet products meet those requirements already in a chip that costs <$10.
Current Ethernet chips that you might find in a NIC handle the original half duplex spec, which offers no protection against people trying to "cheat." They also handle the much more popular full duplex mode of operation that requires either a point to point connection with another host, or a connection to a switch.
Ethernet switches and layer 3 switches are the devices that control traffic flow and isolate one host from another. And they are expensive, and centralized.
Ethernet's modern reputation for speed is based on using switches not hubs.
So they can plan, get to the apple store in a coordinated manner, steal the equipment, fence it, split the money, and be ready for the next cycle in 31 seconds?
I disagree. Most of those eggs in the supermarket are unfertilized. A fertilized egg is an actual chicken. I just don't care about chickens as much as I do people. You can't point to any one spot in an embryo's development (except fertilization) and say "There. Now it is human." With that ambiguity, is it not better to err on the side of caution?
That's called the argument of the beard, and is a fallacy.
This is a paradoxical argument which derives from the impossibility of answering the question "How many hairs does a man have to grow before he has a beard?" Since there is no specific number at which an unsightly clump of hairs becomes a beard, the argument is that no useful distinction can be made between a clean-shaven man and Santa Claus.
Another way of expressing the fallacy is in the argument that there is no harm in removing one hair from a beard since it will not stop it being a beard; the argument is superficially convincing until you realise that eventually the beard will indeed disappear, even if it is plucked one hair at a time.
Thus the argument of the beard suggests that there is no difference between those things which occupy opposite ends of a continuum, because there is no definable moment at which one becomes the other: day and night, or childhood and adulthood, for example. This fallacy often turns up in essays that discuss such subjects as the appropriate age for drinking, voting, or driving.

Windows uses llp64, so sizeof(long) != sizeof(void *)
If you have windows 7 the bios replaces the file. The feature you mention is only for windows 8 and 10.
For android too.

Generally articles that can be responded to by quoting Betteridge's law are not worthy of further discussion.
That's good because you'll have to now.
Anycast is not a magic pill.
If you set up one DNS server on the east coast, another on the west coast, with anycast, it will still suck.
You'd need an anycast DNS server in every ISP in every metro area to match end users simply using their ISP provided local DNS servers.

I always thought it sounded like: my life for hire.

You can only say that due to the absurdity of any other interpretation, not due to any clear communication by the author.
Wow, according to the article, the laser is supersonic. Good to know.
Flash won't die and create a void. It has to be forced out by something that meets market demands.
I think the Iranians hate their own government more than the US government, by a lot.
I assume that to mean the average yearly maximum.
You're missing the point.
If poor netbook penetration was responsible for Microsoft's 8% decline, why aren't we seeing a boost when the penetration is high?
The answer is, netbooks weren't responsible for the 8% decline either.

As far as I can tell it doesn't thread your sent mail in with your received mail. I'd love to be able to do that.
The joke is that git depends on perl.
Taking a different approach than the other responders, git has an svn gateway so good luck stopping people from using it :)
Or you put your IPv6 address in ~/.ssh/config

TextEdit can read and write word docs too. It supports rich text.
DNSSEC focuses on signing dns zones. DNSCurve protects the transport only.
This difference makes DNSSEC maintenance a pain in the ass, and DNSCurve easy.
There are plenty of links in the summary to back this up, just wanted to point it out.
