I wouldn't be so sure of that. We've seen the Emerson effect in plants, and looking at it on a quantum level it seems similar effects might apply to optical cabling.
Try again when you have actual knowledge of the laws of countries YOU'VE ACTUALLY VISITED. I've visited seven EU member states. How many have you visited?
"because streaming realtime video through 9 proxies works oh so well"
Yep, it does, considering the moment you try to connect from your computer to chatroulette you have to hop across likely 7-9 different nodes before your data gets there anyways.
"While it's correct that they are not *employees* of the Public, insofar as any member of the Public cannot order them about,"
Halt, you are under citizen's arrest for the murder of that innocent person. Get down on the ground or I will take all necessary action to defend myself and others around me from you.
Want to bet you can't order cops around? It's all dependent upon who has the bigger gun or the faster draw.
That would be nigh-impossible to do, given the set properties of any given material. Maybe a liquid filter that is adjustable could be done but then you're looking at something well beyond the reasonable expense of any grower, plus considerable complications.
A totally cold spot makes no sense in almost any house. If that room is showing nil IR emissions, then I'm going to assume tons of non-standard insulation is being used to hide something.
You're better off just using LED lights and reducing your heat signature. Oh, and don't grow illegally, that helps, too.
"Freedom of speech also means that you are to respect your fellow man's views"
NO IT FUCKING DOESN'T. Read the fucking constitution, from the goddamned Declaration of Independence all the way through the bill of rights. Freedom of speech is the GOVERNMENT being unable to silence our thoughts about the government or speaking our minds. Respect is earned, not inherently given.
And your views right now get absolutely NO respect from me with that sort of ignorance.
"You don't have the intestinal fortitude for real violence."
Speak for yourself, Mr. Less felonies and Conspiracy charges than me.
I sure as hell *WILL* kill the Phelps clan given half a chance. GLADLY.
You're the one without the intestinal, OR TESTICULAR, fortitude for violence. Your ass posts on slashdot, I get out there and stir shit up to make things change, even if it does make me a criminal.
"With the speed of today’s computers, though, you shouldn’t (usually) need that amount of optimization"
With the speed and power of today's computers we should have 1.4MB operating systems that can procedurally generate the drivers they need for the installed hardware, plus be internet-ready.
But instead, we use more power to introduce more bloat, and the speed gain is 100% unnoticable.

"I doubt that. You'd have to have numbers, or infinite luck."
Wrong. Learn about Asymmetrical warfare sometime. 13 British soldiers against THOUSANDS of African warriors.
Come back when you've finished with your history lesson.
"What's the mean time to failure for these laser on a chip devices?"
For the typical laser diode, with todays construction methods, minimum 100,000 hours. The rest of the stuff attached to the laser, I'm not so sure.
"Optical cables don't experience crosstalk."
I wouldn't be so sure of that. We've seen the Emerson effect in plants, and looking at it on a quantum level it seems similar effects might apply to optical cabling.
"A human being can't even fill the 1.5 Mbps bandwidth offered by USB 1.1"
Bullshit, we make web cameras that can do that now.
Hint: Many countries in Europe do it, UK is just but ONE example:

Source isn't on the PS3? So this Orange Box for the PS3 I have is NOT the Source engine that runs HL2? Huh?
Like the freedom to be videotaped everywhere you go, like the UK?
No fucking thanks.

"God has individual control over each nut?"
Which kind of nut are we talking about, here? The carbon-based ones with AI or the inorganic metal ones that just hold things together?

Uh, because I design hardware of all sorts. Most gamers, do not.
That puts me in a much higher position of authority.
Gamers only say "use this hardware" because they're paid to advertise.
Needs to be closer to me in location. My katana only reaches out so far.

Shit I thought they were slacking when they let me disable ads!
Procedural generation of any sort of information is possible, as long as there is a set of standards.
Sanwa Sucks. Suzo-Happ FTW. Those people have no clue WTF they're talking about.
The mouse is a finger mouse and the keypad is velcroed to my pants. I can stand and game If I need to answer a door.
Fucking declensions.
Fuck Perl, I want to hear his opinion on RPG.

Really? I never had a problem with my wireless keypad and mouse on the couch.
As I type this from 14 feet away on a 32" 1080 screen.
"Street Fighter 4 probably would work well cross platform, no real advantage anywhere there."
Until I whip out my X-Arcade controller and show you a real arcade-style domination run.
