I don't know about the Ethernet part but it bothers me that even wifi has become faster than the wired USB port on our phones. All I want to do is copy over all the photos and videos from my phone to my computer but I have to baby sit

Personally, I'd rather get queued up on a long wait time I mean not ridiculously long but I am ok waiting five minutes to get correct it at least more correct responses. Sure, I'll take a cup of coffee while I wait (:

Not to be too glib but my mom would ask counter questions like this: Why is it that we have to trim out nails when they grow? Why not leave it natural? Why do we remove the weed in between the pavers in our backyard? Why not let it be natur

I've flown with someone who simply said she has prescription medication with her. I mean it was the truth. It was legitimately prescription medication. In this case. But I can imagine someone could lie.

I didn't even know that 180nm was still a thing but clearly it is because apparently the cost difference is like USD 100M for 180nm vs USD 10B or more for the latest tech? Is it true that we will likely have these 180nm chips for thing

I'm still hopeful. The next version of html should be able to do all the http verbs -- get, put, patch, post, delete online, reactively without having to use a form. There has to be a way to figure this out, even if it requires a trans
