In the long run, the same will be true for IPv6, though. if we ever reach a stage where we need the public to make a switch, its going to be them needing to buy a new box (in this case, a new router, because so many don't support IPv6). ah well, we'll jump through that hoop when the time comes.
your right, because if we had been thinking ahead at all, we would have fully switched to IPv6 by now. personally, I'm surprised we 're not having a new Y2K-esque freak-out over this already. (heck, more effort was put into the digital TV switch than seems to be going into IPv6 switch).
you make some good points, but occasionally, they go to far into the realm of weird and outrageous computer interfaces. *cough*swordfish*cough*
a friend of mine tried typing the way they did in swordfish. Jammed all his fingers in about 10 seconds.
a major difference here is that he is taking these in RGB, whereas the hubble pictures are usually shown to us in false color. (taken in other wavelengths for scientific purposes, like studying what the nebulae are composed of)
so really, from a strictly photographic perspective, yes, this guy's pictures are better, because they show what the thing *really* looks like.
why cover it, when you can rig a large photo of rosie o'donnell to the front of it? i mean, if someone finds the need to spy on me with my webcam, i definitely am going to want some retribution.
yes, size of mesh matters. lots of people just use chicken wire, witch is about 1 inch mesh (far to large) but the new, better stucco mesh is far smaller, about 1/4 inch or less. true, its not small enough to be a true faraday cage, but i know for a fact that it interferes heavily. (i installed a wireless router in a house that was U shaped, with the router in one arm of the U, you usually could not get a stable connection in the other arm of the U)
trouble is, that earths magnetic field seems to not be as even as we had imagined it, and you tend to get surges that ruin the equipment. (weld the tether reel solid, foul up electronics and my personal favorite, snap the tether like a fuse)
can you demonstrate to me records of scientifically confirmed harm that is caused by asbestos? yes? great, how about the same records of harm for wifi? no? right then. (and for the pedantic bastards, yes, it may come out in the wash in 120 years that wifi melts faces, but with all the current scientific knowledge available to us at the moment, Occam's razor says that wifi does not kill you)
take the internet seriously? you're joking right? you do realize most of us just use it to troll/. and look at pictures of cats with funny captions right?
thats about as retarded an explanation as i expected.
they can't stuff a few duffles and train in a parking lot? they gotta put explosives into random passengers bags, walk a dog past, then forget to take the stuff out of the bags before they get put on planes?
i think i may have to call bullshit on there press conference.
in a related note, i once accidentally converted my friends dorm room into a pinhole camera. we where lying there watching TV, and we turned the TV off, and i was staring at the wall, when i realized that the weird colors moving on the wall, was a projection of what was going on outside, it was just upside down. (small hole in the blanket over the window as it turns out)
that, and the thing threw an error of the nature 'could not find file XXXXXX.jpg for quadrant XX' (or something along those lines) when i zoomed in. epic fail.
no, worse is the flash ads that look like a normal banner ad, but when your page loads, it expands, animates, and takes up the whole page, with a close button in a non standard location (bottom left anyone) or non-existent. THOSE are the only ads that annoy me more than ads with sound.
no shit its scary, but id does not make it any less true. just for a moment, try and imagine how WE would start treating people coming into our country, if people started setting off bombs in football stadiums, movie theaters and grocery stores.
fear begets paranoia, and a certain level of paranoia is not always a bad thing.
and for every blockbuster movie, there is some lame 7th rate cut budget no-name film studio release of the same film. (the tom cruise war of the worlds had like 3 no name studio knockoffs release the same year. not that the Cruise one was anything to write home about)
the point is, people try to ride the coattails of other peoples successes.

he could just have his house stuccoed. the wire lathe they use is not quite faraday cage fine, but small enough to put one hell of a damper on wifi.

webcam. reading it themselves is way easier than telling it over the phone.

in other news, we know know that RDX can get through airport security. No wonder a guy managed to get a crotch-bomb onto a plane during christmas.
i have to admit, the whole idea sounds a little frightening.
wait what?

good point, its like she made every effort to look as suspicious as possible.
so what exactly happened? the article is long on confusion and short on explanations.

I'm with you on this one. Meat, the real mans food.
yes, you do. if you read the linked article about the kid, it says he eats a full meal almost every hour, without gaining any weight.
