Shit that’s dystopic!

Oh damn!.. I’ve never crossed Bookstack in my searches, but from the previews it looks (actually) simple, clean, and powerful.

Now I know what the evening will be spent on!

Your new point does indeed stand.

Against caucasians? Dudette said she was white.

Thank you, Moonshadow. :)

This might be padentic, but the lab-brain didn’t solve anything. It just acts as the controller in a solution created by a scientist.

It is the one who created this “controller” who solved the problem.

I’m here to ask the grand question yet again:

Is that the raw deaths per vehicle, or does it equalize relative vehicle popularity?

I assume that there are a fair bit more cars on the roads than there are motorbikes, which means that we would not be able to compare them otherwise. Unless, of course, if one simply is trying to sow discord.

And even when they apply to bikes, they don “apply” to most bikes anyway.

“No problem, I was about finished anyway.”

Well, get to it then! Ain’t got all year.

Just saw this comment.

Yes, you are completely right. That’s likely also the reason for your confusion regarding OSI, since you appear to compare it to TCP/IP in a rather literal manner.

Obviously TCP/IP is better at describing TCP/IP than OSI, though while OSI also can be used to describe TCP/IP in a sub-optimal manner, TCP/IP cannot be used to describe OSI.

Apologies, that’s my fault, I thought you wrote “TCP model(/protocol)” and not “TCP/IP model”, which are indeed two very different things.

I feel that the OSI model focuses more on the specific layers with their relations and physical/digital setup, while the TCP/IP model has more of a abstract and “high-level”-focus. I think both have their ups and downs, though I’m still confused what about OSI is “theoretical and has never been used”.

What do you mean “Theoretical” and “Never been used”? Are you writing this by sending off radio waves purely with your mind? Am I the only one using a modem and computer? (/j, but it seems to me that you’re asking “why a plane needs engines and wings, when it already has a payload”)

TCP (and UDP) just describe how to assemble the data into packages which can be somewhat reliably reassembled on the other end.

While it does have an address stamped on top (IP), it doesn’t know how to get anywhere by itself. That’s where the bottom 3 OSI layers come in (the physical wires - or wireless spectra/wavelengths - the data is transmitted through, the specifications of how the embedded devices talk to each other over these wires, and how to discover other embedded or other devices on a network). I can very much assure you that the wires do exist and are indeed in use.

Contrary, the upper layers are more about keeping communication going once a connection has been established.

Plastic gotta be this age’s lead/quicksilver.
