IPv6 only solves a problem if you don't understand the problem itself! Just because people have five devices doesn't mean they need 65,000 * 5 internet addresses ... there is an endpoint for every port and each device needs only

I was asked by my employer in 2003 when IPv6 would replace IPv4? After substantial research, my answer was, "never"!!! I almost got fired for that answer but I am correct so far. There are a large class of people out there who

I remember it well (I was 20). It was a very boring movie. I think it's famous just for being 1st, i guess they poured all the money into the CGI because it's a 2-star story.

This is one of the stupidest articles I have seen in a long time. I could just as easily write an article about "The number of professors today with US citizen parents is at an all-time low" based on Figure #1 of this article but

I got an engineering job at a top-30 EE dept (UBC). By the pay was really poor - i once had an elite dad but he died when i was 13. So I quit the job, as I was no longer elite. An elite family can backstop you when you are taking a low-p

My friend tried to run 3 external monitors on his 2019 Intel 8-core 16" 32gb MacBook pro and it gets to melting temperature, throttles, and just sits there with a spinning beachball disc for most of the day. Lid closed, vertical cooli

If it's any compensation all self driving car companies are staffed by liars. Big ones. Of the AI variety, which deserves a special genus all its own.

The problem is that manufacturers want to detect the SWE customers and mark those laptops up by $1000. What do you get for that extra $1000? Another 16GB of RAM ... We own a Thinkpad yoga and various MacBook pros. The Intel MacBook pros

It's not that we don't have nuclear power plants, nuclear fuel, and nuclear technology. One problem is that France's nuclear industry has committments to use something like 2/3rds of the world's reserves of Uranium

In my wife's case, the 16GB macs don't even have enough memory to drive a 4K display. Her mac goes crazy, overheats, fan at 100%, everything slows to molasses, piece of junk. And it's x86.

Not exactly true AMD is still doing a little bit of manufacturing at Global Foundries but that place threw up their hands in the air and quit innovating! So stuck at 10-12nm ...

You can definitely notice 2 lbs + butted tubing upgrade while riding a bike. It's essentially why Raleigh offered 3 grades of steel bikes in the 70s : 28 lbs : carbon steel (2 models) 25 lbs : 531 butted main tubes, forks (2 models) 2

You are correct the upright position on a city bike is harder on the spine! That is why upright bicycles usually have a real mattress sprung saddle not just a piece of cheap plastic or carbon!

I met a guy at a bike shop who was buying aluminum handlebars and he said that his carbon bars had failed on him twice! Both with bloody consequences! I've probably ridden 20,000 miles of my lifetime and had zero failures with alumin
