when i was taking my cisco classes back in 2001 in high school they made a big deal about how we were running out and IP6 was going to be ready in a few years...this was 10 years ago!
agreed, I remember back in the days of dialup and AOL, we had "apps" that would add function to the clients. So I can say I remember the term "app" from 96, im sure there are some others who have known the term longer.
I remember the hoopla that surounded the 3 digit UIDs for AIM, I had one (PJM) but sadly lost the information. Around 2004 3 digit UIDs were selling for thousands of dollars on ebay.
I have been living near one most of my life (indian point) in fact I hear the damn warning system testing like 4 times a week (when a real emergency happens no ones gonna do anything because the damn horn blows all the time but i digress)
Id take living near the plant over living near a coal plant, a wind farm any day
and how my friend do you come up with that answer? why does everything have to be about race these days? dont agree with the president? you MUST be racist. Dont want to work the a country that has horrible human rights record? known to have stole technology from you? MUST be racist.. Heres a clue, not EVERYTHING is about race, I have come to realize that those who scream racism at every corner are usually themselves the biggest racists
You ever notice how foul mouthed the left get when arguing their points? I guess its the "if we say it louder people will believe us" approach... sad really that so many are falling for it
no one is saying they do, I am all for a reasonable tax approach, the problem is if they add this miles tax, you KNOW they wont get rid of the gas tax and we will get hit with double taxes
sure, let me just up an d move closer to my job, oh wait I cant, I cant afford to live closer, I cant sell my house without losing 38% of what im paying on it maybe ill find a job near me... oh wait I cant. There are no tech jobs near me...
It sure is easy to say "well just move closer to your job" but 1, its not practical and 2 This is america, I dont want to move closer to my job just because someone else thinks im killing wales off the coast of new zealand with the emissions. I like my privacy living in the woods where my only neighbors are cows and horses
See, your problem is assuming that an Apple fanboi will understand logic. They cannot, for it goes against their unshakable absolute TRUTH that Apple and jobs are gods who can do no evil. Facts? They don't need no stinkin' facts. They've got the knowledge and no amount of reality will change it!
The speed limit was set lower to be a fuel saving device in the 70s Spped is not the problem, If everyone on the roads are doing the same speed be it 40 or 100, there is less danger. The danger comes into play when you have people doing 40 in a 65 and cars catching at a high rate of speed, that and people who find it ok to do that in the left lane (passing lane).
The National Maximum Speed Law (NMSL) in the United States was a provision of the 1974 Emergency Highway Energy Conservation Act that prohibited speed limits higher than 55 mph (90 km/h). It was drafted in response to oil price spikes and supply disruptions during the 1973 oil crisis. While gasoline consumption was expected to fall by 2.2%, the United States Department of Transportation calculated actual savings at 1%. Independent studies suggest savings as low as a half percent.
I think the opposite is true (in general) about tethering. I dont WANT my tablet to have 3G, Why do i want to pay for 2 "lines" when I can tether my phone to my tablet?
To a degree I see your point. But than again there is a difference in doing things right from the beginning and using a long calender and what happened in washington with the debt.
No I think what he is saying is that it is better to wait, and see what we can do about a problem that is 300 years down the road OVER TIME, as to not disrupt our current way of life to any large extent. There is a HUGE difference in your sensational claim of "well fuck the future right" and what I read into his statements of "Technology and knowlegde will increase over time, and a better solution may be viable with better long term planning, rather than rash changes now"
You are right, that 1 blub breaking probably wont have any affect on you. But picture a lifetime of bulbs, how many have you broken in your life? Im 26 years old and I couldnt tell you how many bulbs I have broken over the years. When ALL bulbs are "potential cancer threats" than the chances of issue increase. Unforeseen circumstances indeed

black ops used an existing engine though, I am sure if you are building an engine from scratch you need to add more time to that
My point was simply that the argument can go both way (which is true for almost anything)

I think tablets are more important, and they run android
