    3.0 is live.

    It's not really buggy... so much as quirky. It does need polish that's for sure, but almost everything works. Port Olisar doors excepted, but you can usually get out another door, and walk around the strut to your ship. Once you download and install the client once, after that every so often...

    3.0 is live.

    It feels like it. Then they went on vacation until January 8th(?), which might be a problem if a few issues don't get fixed lickety split like. During a cargo run, I encountered a server issue (30007 error) which resulted in having to reclaim a ship, and swallow the loss of the cargo, and the...

    Whoever has doubts about the Commitment of CIG/SC/SQ42 ...

    The only thing I am worried about is whether or not I will be able to play SC on my current hardware, but I've never been adverse to getting new hardware. My bank account sometimes whines a bit, but I personally have no problem with the idea.

    PTU for everyone!

    Got 3 hours in this AM, in 2 sessions. Levski's back in operation. So are the pirates pulling you out of quantum bu they're easy to either defeat or ignore. If your ship can't fight, just go re-engage quantum travel as soon as possible. First session sucked. there were all sorts of issues...

    Video: Speculative bubbles of the past and bitcoin

    @Montoya, BRE-X! Seriously? You don't look old enough now, to have been anything more than like12 when Bre-x was a thing! And you made the only mention of Barrick Gold I've heard in a very long time. But! You're I think your analysis is absolutely right. You could add Nortel stock too...

    Video: Net Neutrality is gone, where do we go from here?

    Well quite honestly that's because we are not nearing saturation, and bandwidth is not inefficient. Instead, it is incredibly efficient. Where did the idea that bandwidth is inefficient come from? Also. Traffic shaping *is* part of network operations management, and consequently is relevant...

    @NaffNaffBobFace https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/solutions/collateral/service-provider/visual-networking-index-vni/complete-white-paper-c11-481360.html Not sure what it corroborates, but your data is there. It's an interesting read anyway Total Internet traffic (All protocols) for 2017...

    Video: Net Neutrality is gone, where do we go from here?

    What it did do was prevent Internet Service Providers from censoring the Internet without effective controls on their actions. In a nutshell: You need to decide whether or not you want your ISP able to censor (filter, block, throttle) your access to internet services, and demand extra payment...

    Video: Net Neutrality is gone, where do we go from here?

    It requires thinking. That is also a good thing! So just to reiterate a point. Net Neutrality is about censorship of the internet at a very basic level, and censorship is about freedom. When we talk about "Free and equitable access" to the Internet, we're not talking about "Free" as in...

    Video: Net Neutrality is gone, where do we go from here?

    That article quotes two opinions, one for and one against the repeal of Net Neutrality. Good lord I hate that name. It is traffic shaping, packet filtering etc... it didn't need a new name. Anyway... you raised 5 points. There are, in terms of the issues surrounding "net neutrality", the...

    Video: Net Neutrality is gone, where do we go from here?

    Heh. it's Ok usually it's me - and you're right that's basically what it boils down to is special interests. Whatever happens, it's going to be an interesting couple of years for sure if you work in the network infrastructure industry. I'm hoping this will be the kick in the hind end that...

    Video: Net Neutrality is gone, where do we go from here?

    This is not a question of controlling the information, or it should not be seen as that. The backbone or Tier 1 carriers are really the only ones who do. Net Neutrality was never really aimed at Tier 1. They can't really afford to throttle the traffic they carry because they would then be...

    Video: Net Neutrality is gone, where do we go from here?

    Just one thing. You do have something to worry about, just less than Americans. In Canada, the CRTC has enacted rules that protect consumers against unilateral actions by monopoly carriers on it's own, and against the wishes of companies like Bell Canada, Telus, Rogers and Shaw. They...

    It removes your freedom on the internet. Now, your ISP can throttle or block any provider content they feel like throttling or blocking.

    State of the Squadron 26

    My opinions: Cryptocurrency is a partial work around to the problems of most other get-rich-quick schemes. Of course, that's just like real money but the Government runs that gig, or corporations which pay the Government to keep running the real money thing like a get-rich-quick scheme...

    Crytek sues CIG for breach of contract

    This suit reads an awful lot like SCO vs Linux. It was a last ditch effort by a failing company to find a way to inject cash - and if it fails, what the Hell we're going bankrupt anyway. reason I say that: Check out the wording above the download banner on https://www.cryengine.com. That...

    The truth is now known

    All I can say is LOL. But with two recent threads about autonomous robots in Test forums now, you can see people are thinking about this on some level. There is a group, https://www.stopkillerrobots.org Someone's wife might be interested. Not saying who's.
