So apparently a county audit shows Sheriff Joe misused $50 million from the jail fund. So I'm opening up the betting pool on how Sheriff Joe will retaliate. Current front runner is to arrest everyone.
Is gigabit fiber a reality on desktop PCs yet? I see a lot of 100mbps fiber boards, but am disappointing in the lack of MORE SPEED.
No, but gig Ethernet is pretty common now days.
Got it all over my house. But I'm wondering why Gig fiber hasn't matured at that level.
The cabling is expensive and a little more difficult to work with. Like, you can fold a CAT5 cable at a nearly 180-degree angle and it will still work. You do that with fiber and you can ruin your cable.
There isn't really a reason to bring it to the desktop, generally speaking. I see it in use in backbones for things like video streaming and VOIP. For instance, I have a client who is a hotel that uses gigabit fiber to push HD video on demand over IP to the guest rooms. Even then, they don't have fiber going to each room, they just have a fiber backbone with copper going to each room.
I mean, the big difference between fiber and copper isn't the raw speed, it's the reliability and sensitivity to interference. So you kind of have to be pushing a lot of data, and data that's very sensitive to dropped packets or out-of-sequence packets (like VOIP), before you see a real-world difference between fiber and copper.
Since most desktop applications, even high-bandwidth ones like streaming video or Internet phone or gaming, are already optimized for people on flaky low-end broadband, there's no reason for fiber. Technically there usually isn't much reason for gigabit copper either on the desktop, but the cost increase is negligible over 100 megabit copper.

Blame it on illegals, say this is a liberal witch hunt, and get on fox news.

I would like some money because these are artisanal nuggets of wisdom philistine.

I would hope you can fold a CAT-5 cable to 180-degree angle.
If you were to fold a wire, the origin would be at the point at which you fold it and zero degrees would be a straight wire. 180 degrees from the zero position would be folded all the way back on itself.

Dwarf Fortress always sounds so entertaining and full of character. Then I try it and I am like, when does the fun start.
And yes the last military unit you get is called Giant Death Robot. And it is a giant robot with lasers and rockets. But cost almost as much as a nuclear missile to build.

Get your god damn geometry right or get out!
(honestly I just read it as 90 degrees without even thinking)

Well considering that any decent giant robot would be able to shoot or grab a nuclear missile out of the air, this seems like a bargain : D

CTP2 was pretty cool. You could build cities in the sky.
Depends on your frame of reference. If you are bending the wire from a straight line then you are bending it in a 180-degree angle from its reference angle of zero. If you are measuring an already bent wire, you a measuring a zero degree angle.

My nail polish chipping away during the day bugs me like lots.
the whole world is pushing politically towards the right / intolerance at the moment it seems
I hope it doesn't take a disaster to stop the way the state of mind is heading.
What we need is a good old fashioned Martian invasion.
Or maybe some zombies.
Hm, maybe this is why zombies are so popular.
But I don't like dogs : (
Could we get mountain lions instead?
zombies are the teabaggers of the horror movie world
Yes : (
they ate my daughter : (
there are zombie rights groups right
because this is necessary to a safe world

So there.
Guess how many degrees about a point you have to rotate something to reverse the direction it points.

A 0 degree angle is the identity transform for a vector. A 180 degree angle is the negative identity. Completely different.
