NAT breaks the internet, and it isn't a solution to running out of IP addresses.
The real issue is that in their eagerness to make sure we never run out again, they made it too complicated. It would've been far more sane to add a fifth set of numbers. That way all existing IP's would've been 000.XXX.XXX.XXX --> essentially not requiring ANY renumbering at all. And they still would've been in a format that people could relatively easily memorize or manually enter.
In other news, every major corporation with an app store retains the ability to remotely nuke apps you've purchased. While it's most likely because they want to force you to keep buying apps over and over again, while stealing goods you've paid for... there also is the slight possibility they've retained that ability so that if some nasty virus breaks out, they can stop it before it infects every device in their ecosystem. Either way.
Well, if you bothered to RTFA, and it's citations, you'd know that it said it was in Iran, not the Afghanistan border.
U.S. officials tell NBC that CIA operators were flying the unmanned drone when it veered out of control and headed deep into Iran. The drone eventually ran out of fuel and crashed in Iran's remote mountains.
The only thing that was up for discussion is whether it crashed or was shot down, which is semantics. It doesn't really matter whether it was shot down or crashed, it was violating Iran's airspace.
You mean propaganda like "there's no evidence of this" when there's evidence of it? You might as well be working for the United States department of misinformation. Claiming no evidence when it's punching you in the face is about as useful to a rational discussion as claiming there were no dinosaurs.
And then top top it all off, you turn around and claim you were just trying to make people see both sides of the story? OK Sarah Palin.
You said there was no evidence, I provided a link proving otherwise. Now you're playing the semantics game to attempt to distract from the fact you were blatently wrong. There IS evidence. Whether it is sufficiently conclusive is up to the reader to decide. Your paragraph diatribe doesn't change the fact you were wrong, sorry.
Because I know the first place I go when I want to know about a foreign country is their embassy. I'm sure the members of that institution are COMPLETELY unbiased about the country they're representing. Talk about an empty gesture. A spy plane gets shot down over their airspace, and the response is an e-embassy? I'm sure that'll sway the masses!
We already tolerate it from drug users too... If someone wants to take drugs and drive, drugs being illegal isn't going to stop them. I'm not sure how you think legalizing the drugs will change that in any way, shape, or form.
Make it illegal to drive while intoxicated just like we do with liquor. If someone messes up, punish them. Don't punish our entire "free" society because of the actions of a few. Where does it stop? Where do you draw the line? The number of people who die in accidents related to intoxication or such a tiny drop in the bucket, anyone who took the time to look at the actual numbers would realize how absolutely insane it is to use that as an excuse to ban drugs, or alcohol.
Because the demographic he appeals to is currently a minority when it comes to voting. Silencing him would just give him more power. Better to let him yell from on high when nobody is listening.
Wow, look at that. Modded troll for saying "allah", in lower case, in quotes, on purpose. Weird how I don't see any mention of Muslims in my post, yet so many of you jump to that conclusion of your own accord and mod me down. At least a few of you got the point. No, I wasn't calling out Muslims as being the only terrorists in the world. I was pointing to religious fanaticism in general, but whatever makes you feel better about making giant assumptions I guess.
Not to mention, I have no doubt that they'll justify it to themselves by letting "allah" sort out the details. After all, he'll guard his flock and wipe out the infidels, right?
Really? Because there are about 20 road projects in my county alone that have signs next to them stating they were funded by the re-investment act. Unless you think some private company took it upon themselves to give credit to Obama for the public infrastructure being put up by them for free???... I'd say you're full of shit claiming there is no infrastructure being built. Or that there's even "little".
Ya, there is no bedrock there, but great idea! Mexico city was built in a lakebed - unless they're planning on putting their pyramid about 1000 feet down, they're going to be working with sand and rock, then sand, then clay.
The surrounding soil doesn't act like a "pillow" it acts like an amplifier. Apparently you should read the first link I posted.
Of course! Someone having full access to every SSN in a database is the exact same as only having access to SSN's given to you over the phone by customers. It's not limited at all!
Again, SEVERELY LIMITING. If an employee is writing down every SSN that comes in, it will be extremely easy to figure out which employee is the one stealing ID's. Not to mention it'll be pretty obvious to supervisors walking around the office when they see someone writing down the SSN's. Furthermore, the number of ID's they can steal in a given month is minuscule in comparison.
None of those employees need to be able to read existing entries though. All they need is a field where the rep asks you for your SSN, they type it in and hit a button, and it matches it against the database. If for some reason it wasn't matching, and they needed to actually view the entry, they would request a manager to unlock the one record for them temporarily.
This would severely limit the amount of information they had access to.
Our country would still have expensive but quality products if it weren't for China. It wouldn't be broke, because the production of those goods would be coming from factories in the US who pay greater than slave wages for production. Instead of rampant unemployment, we'd have unskilled labor working in factories - just like we did when China was busy starving it's people for the last century.
I'll take a lawnmower that lasts a decade for $500 over a lawnmower that lasts 6 months for $100 all day long. You continue to believe that China is somehow helping the US - I've never heard a more comical explanation of the China/US relationship.
You mean like how they forced EA to release BF3 to steam without their DRM that bordered on spyware? Oh, right, they never did get BF3, because the publishers are more powerful than you apparently give them credit for.
I'd imagine you will QUICKLY find nuclear taking over to fill the gap. It's easy to complain about the dangers of nuclear, but when your other option is death, humans will take the nuclear every time.
You can't just say "fuel costs" though. A typical gas powered RV is going to get 5-10mpg (depending on how big it is). A typical car is going to get at least 20. The fuel costs will very quickly eat up the difference at 3-4$/gallon if you're truly traveling the country.

There is no evidence of this.
Really? You mean besides the US admitting to it?

All of the above were "good enough". Those products are FAR from being the perfect device. For instance: how about FLAC support?

Obviously, because there's no possible way to lockdown a computer to prevent data from leaving it.

Shock absorbers do exactly nothing when the surrounding soil isn't solid.
And what happens to all this glass when another huge earthquake hits?

I think what you meant to say was that this solves all three problems. The friend, the money, and uh... uh... the EPA?
