Xbox mode. All games will have to part of 'Xbox' program to be played. Then they'll charge you $50 to play anything online. What's a DX?

Ok, I understand. They can deal with each other if they know the other is there, but if the channels are misaligned, it is just seen as disruptive noise.

Tried a Nexus 7 2013 and a Macbook Air. I could try my phone, but it seems redundant at this point. The router was having serious issues trying to auto pick the channels. Very erratic. Kinda work one minute, not work the next etc. I'm reading up on a reddit post about 40mhz usage and how it...

A few months ago, the internet slowed down a bit. Last couple of weeks, it has basically stopped working @ 2.4ghz. My SSID used to transit 2.4 and 5 under the same name, but I divided it up to help diagnose the problem. The wifi shows the 2.4ghz SSID is coming in at full strength, but when I...

That's a whole different issue. Google gets your searches and e-mail now. Do you really want them knowing EVERY SINGLE THING delivered to you from the net? I know I don't. I realize to a degree I have accepted this by having an android phone, but I don't think I could accept Google...

The funny part is everyone screaming down with cable TV.. They're going to make their money somewhere. If you stop paying for cable and start getting it all as downloadable content....Who provides that to you? Still Comcast. I'd imagine the internet bills will eventually rise to be the same...

The original idea was they would be heated. That didn't pan out. Apparently they changed it to beefed up motors to break through the ice? Up to 8mm according to this post. No idea the accuracy of it though...

Has it actually been removed from the vote? Or is he just changing his position for WHEN it is voted on? If hes just changing his position for the vote, he still did what he was supposed to. Got it out there. I really don't know. Everything I have read just says he changed his position, not that...

Exactly. That's why i made the comment about aliens would literally have to stumble upon us to visit us. as for the whole Star Trek stuff. I like the series too, but it isn't reality. We can see how we could do most of the things, but not nearly at that scale, on a ship, independently...

Not completely, no. The scale is big enough I have trouble with it. Point taken about the vessel. What would you prefer? The space shuttle? A constantly accelerating ion engined spaceship? A trikey? The scale is the problem. Sure, the person travelling might not age, but the galaxy as you know...

A lot of people just don't 'get it'. Take the closest star to our system, Alpha Centauri. The chances of having a planet like earth are very very small. Let's just say for argument's sake that there is an earth like planet circling. If we, right now, had a ship that could instantly go to the...

And as for the whole aliens visiting us... They would have had to literally stumble upon us or been REAL close for a scenic drive through the neighborhood. Most of the places we are talking about won't even have a chance to know we exist for several thousand years (more like tens of thousands...

The issue, as I understand it, isn't whether there are planets out there, or even if there is/was intelligent life... but one of timing. So, if humans have had the means to communicate effectively, in space, for let's say ~60 years (guess). With the distances involved, another intelligent...

I understand that. You still have to get the spaceship/materials there or the equipment to make the ships there. Which, is still astronomically ridiculous.
