While factually correct, considering how soon after the lawsuit happened that that Google made their purchase intentions, you can be certain that at the point the talks of a buyout were already happening. If you think Google didn't have a large influence on Motorola at that point you are kidding yourself.
Of course, you do realize that by admitting that you refuse to read opposing sides, that you are in fact, biased and uninformed, while the person you referred to actually isn't, unless you can prove that is the only site he reads, and then only if you can prove that article is in fact biased. All of which you have failed to do.
The vFAT patents in question aren't an essential standard since there are many devices that don't use it. They are an enhancement on the standard that allows long filenames.
No, I didn't claim 130. I did average about 109, including stops for food, bathroom, and a small detour into Las Vegas though.
Not that this has anything to do with the topic at hand, but, I didn't go flying past cars that are doing 55 at 130. I'm actually a responsible driver, and if you've ever actually driven outside your own city, you'd realize that on the interstates like from Illinois to Texas, and even more so from Texas to Nevada, there is literally nothing. You can drive for 10 minutes (even at 130) and never see another car, especially at night.
Aren't you the same guy that was saying that tires that are rated at 100 MPH were ultra expensive. Now I know why you thought that, if all you've ever driven are little Hondas. I'd ask if you were high, but considering your 99 pot plants, I think I can figure that one out.
As a peace offering, have some Cheetos, and let the grown ups talk. Oh, and I said my next car would go over 200 and I'd get it next year. I was wrong, it's getting built now, and I expect it late October. Although, supposidly it will only do 187 until I throw a supercharger on it. Hopefully this winter. You can find me on the corvette forums. Cheers!
It is apparent that you don't understand what you are talking about. It is not HDMI. It is either Cleartype that you don't like, or your TV is messing with the image.
It is not a problem with HDMI. Apparently the author doesn't like cleartype. Just disable it if you don't like it. The fonts will come in razor sharp, unlike the pictures of how it looks over VGA, which is just blurry.
Yes, the OP was right, IPv6 fixes it, but nothing to do with having a static IP address. Dynamic IPv6 addresses solves it, of course assuming there isn't a IIPv6-NAT or firewall breaking things again, which is entirely possible.
It changes because your ISP will give your router a IPv6 prefix. All the devices on your network can then use that prefix in combination with their own address to form a publicly addressable IPv6 address. It's the equivalent of your ISP giving you your own/8 address for IPv4.
Perhaps you should move to state that has standardized testing. In Illinois, we have ISATs (Illinois Standardized Aptitude Testing) every couple years, and standardized national testing at 5th and 8th grades. It's pretty apparent when in 5th grade, your kid registers in the top 99.9% across the board (state and national), and performing at a senior in high school level. It is pretty hard to rig those tests to that level, and you should know if you are at least.
It's really funny that on/. people are really enamoured with google's self-driving cars and also really against limited cars to the speed limit. Does anybody really believe that google's cars are going to drive faster than the posted speed limit?
They aren't the same thing. People drive for all kinds of reasons. Sometimes it is to get somewhere, sometimes it is because they enjoy the scenery, sometimes they actually like driving. Google cars are nice for people who want to get somewhere and value their time over the experience of doing the actual driving, while not so good for those who actually like driving. Personally, I drive, and often faster than the speed limit for a number of reasons: I value my time and save more value speeding than I pay for tickets, my car isn't a piece of crap and it is safe to drive at speeds higher than those set to protect the slightly intoxicated soccer mom beating her kids in the back seat in her oversized SUV, and because sometimes I enjoy it. At the same time, I'd likely be one of the first in line for a self-driving car, but it would be the second (actually third) car in my garage. I'd actually gain enough useful time back that it would be worthwhile for me to let it drive often enough that the car would be worth it to me, and I'd only drive my sports cars when I was heading down to the race track, or when I actually wanted to enjoy the experience of driving.
Just for the record, if you took the initial minimum wage of $0.25/hr in 1938, and adjusted it as you suggest, the minimum wage today would be $4.10. Are you suggesting we need to lower the minimum wage back to $4.10/hr?
I should also note that the $50k Boxster is worse in handling (1.0g vs 1.13g), acceleration 0-60 (5.1s vs 3.6s), quarter mile (12.7s vs 11.6s), the figure 8 test, and slalom runs. Of course, you could add an auto trans to drop it's 0-60 to 4.5s, but that isn't the base model as you claim, and it's still not even in the same ballpark as 3.6s. The boxster doesn't even perform as well as the baseline corvettes, so your comparison is silly.
Well the boxster has a maximum lateral acceleration of 1.0g, while last years corvette has a maximum lateral acceleration of 1.13g, so I would say you don't know your cars very well. Every major car reviewer disagrees with you, including edmond's, motortrend, etc. Please go away.
I'm an American, and I'm fine with not being #1. I'm even fine with not being #1 overall. Personally, I think we currently have the best overall country in the world, but I'd like to see a better one or two. Nothing brings out the best in the US than competition, or at least it did. Looking around at people here, I'm not so sure anymore, but I'd love to see it. Perhaps it's time for someone else to step up to the plate. There is nothing that says the US has be #1 forever, nor should it. The world is a cyclical place, as it should be. I just don't want to see the US drop below "good".
He wasn't suggesting covering the windows, but most humans only have 2 eyes. Autonomous cars can be looking in every direction, all at the same time. They can be watching the side mirror to make sure they are backing up straight AND the rear view mirror to make sure your unattended child didn't run behind the car AT THE SAME TIME. Personally, I view this as both a win for saving lives, and a loss for circumventing natural selection.
Couldn't have said it better myself. I got excited when I heard about another possible Star Trek series, only to be sorely disappointed.
This isn't anything more than a money grab using the Star Trek name. Sure, make a web series if you want, but CBS please don't pick it up. We need some decent writers who realize that the best part of the Star Trek series (original and ST:NG) was its optimistic views. A beacon of what what life SHOULD be like, not what it IS like. Something to strive for.
Yes, but it's set to automatic, delayed start at least. That way it doesn't really slow down your boot. Although I wish Microsoft would finally create an update repository that applications could subscribe to. Doesn't have to be anything beyond just having a 3rd party register the current version and where to grab the update from. Every application vendor could create an application profile there, and just update the version number and windows would periodically ask if any of your applications had updates instead of every vendor creating their own updater, update service, and polling mechanism.
Of course, you would either have to send the update service which app id's you are interested in (good), or you'd have to get a complete list of all known app id's and versions (bad), but then you'd have privacy nuts crying that Microsoft was spying even if they did nothing with the information. You can't win, I suppose.

Does it happen with DVI? Is it a samsung monitor/TV?

That is a completely different (possible) issue that is unrelated to being able to do peer-to-peer connections because of NAT issues.

No it didn't. When it was first introduced, it was the equivalent of around $4.10/hr in 2013 dollars.
In what universe was minimum wage ever the equivalent of $18/hr?
There are a few others, like the Cadillac CTS-V Sedan can do it in 3.9s, the Mercedes E63 AMG Sedan in 3.8s, etc.
I should also note that the $50k Boxster is worse in handling (1.0g vs 1.13g), acceleration 0-60 (5.1s vs 3.6s), quarter mile (12.7s vs 11.6s), the figure 8 test, and slalom runs.

most of the really worst programmers are promoted to being a manager, thus tilting the distribution a little
Fixed that for you.

I'm not sure we need it more often than every 24 hours.
And you go and describe how it affects speculators.
