I was also assuming a sample size of more than two for it to be statically significant.

Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity.

All of this stuff is 50 years old and there's no way the people who put these systems in place could have ever predicted the Internet as it is today. Famously in 1973, there was a "map of the ARPA network", that's how few machines were "online" at the time.

It's really only in the past 10 years or so that security via TLS has been widely adopted by websites, and it's been over 20 years since IPv6 was announced and still is not entirely supported everywhere. There is so much inertia with the underlying infrastructure of the internet, even if there is a serious issue (like DNS cache poisoning ), systems will not be reworked and replaced, but hacks will be added to fix the issue of the day.

I think he's talking about Jack Smith in the show American Dad, Stan Smith's father. He was a jewel thief and ran out on Stan and his mother.

Shhhh don't remind him about the last part. Have him challenge blanket pardons and then let us enjoy it being used against him.

After TFA, I was really expecting Snoke to be a Yoda sized character. Then I watched The Last Jedi and realized I should have no more expectations for the movies, which was supported by watching The Rise of Skywalker.

In DNS, the domain name has to be ASCII, so unicode characters in the domain name are converted to Punycode and prefixed with xn--. So really, blåhaj.com is really xn--blhaj-nra.com (put that in your browser and watch the name change).

I would imagine that most things would just work, but there would probably be some annoying bugs with different clients who aren't using libraries which support internationalized domain names, or aren't expecting them. It'd probably be a good thing to have an internationalized domain name for a popular instance, as that would be a good test case for servers and clients to support that standard.

GrilledCheese, you blow high!

What's the details about a fax machine in the 1860s?

If you head south from Detroit the first foreign country you’ll hit is Canada.

There's also Angle Inlet, Minnesota which is the only place in the contiguous United States north of the 49th parallel. To travel to Angle Inlet by road from other parts of Minnesota, or from anywhere in the United States, requires driving through Manitoba, Canada. It's a really weird border.

I assume the median and mode are the same value, 10 fingers, but have no data to back that up. I guess saying mode would have been a safer statement to make, but think that even if 49% of people have 0-9 fingers, the median number of fingers would still be 10.

The average person does not have 10 fingers. Maybe the median person, but not the average.

Christ who gives a shit about nick's comment? Grow up.
