I now have a "need" for a dual band wireless N router.
Up to now my home internet has been maxed out at 20mbps but I just upgraded it to 45mbps! Yet... The router supplied by my ISP only provides the full 45mbps via the ethernet jacks on the router! It is a single band wireless N router ?!?!?!?!?
Granted I only have three devices capable of connecting to a 5GHz signal (Nexus 4, gaming laptop and possibly my PS4.)
I'm just doing some more accounting and paperwork stuff, and it seems, for tax reasons, I'm due a new laptop. Or, to put it another way, the laptop I bought in 2010 has come to the end of its useful life, according to the German tax office and their rules.
Well, the expansion plan also includes adding additional hotels to the area. No idea if that also means more restaurants, however.
Supporters said the convention center in the South Boston neighborhood, which opened in 1997, isn't large enough and doesn't have enough adjoining hotel rooms to attract many large-scale national and international meetings, causing Boston to miss out on more than a dozen big events each year.
The proposed expansion would increase by more than 50 percent the facility's current 2.1 million square feet of total space and allow three new hotels to be built, giving Boston one of the five largest convention centers in the U.S., supporters said.
Any person in congress that has negative comments about the VA, but were in the house during the war and didn't approve more money for the VA to prepare for the influx of new veterans, EABOD.

Guy who quit highschool at year 10, has come back to University in his late 20's, believes in creation by intelligent design is trying to argue that blu ray backups of data in 2 different places are better than mirroring to a server backup or cloud backup.
He also believes he will be able to write code that will demonstrate what he wants software developers what to do with a very basic knowledge of javascript.
Guy is really nice but is really, really mislead or stupid.

It depends... Ideally you should at least have both some sort of local backup (whether mirroring to a server or storing on some other local media) and some sort of offsite backup (whether it consists of using a cloud provider or shipping media to an off-site storage facility). From a technical standpoint, blu ray backups of data in 2 different places is better than only having a server mirror or a cloud backup. However, if you have both a server mirror and a cloud backup, then it's more or less equal as it accomplishes the need to have a local and offsite backup.
One potential minor technical advantage to a blu ray backup is that the backups would be read-only by the nature of the format, but I consider this a nit.
There is also potentially a legal advantage to blu ray vs. cloud backups, but it depends on the laws where you live. In the United States, for example, any data that has existed on a cloud provider for more than six months or so is legally considered "abandoned" by current law, which means law enforcement, the government, etc., more or less has free access to that data without needing any warrants or anything by just showing up at the cloud provider's door and saying "we want that data." A blu ray backup stored at an offsite facility owned or leased by the data's owner would require a full search warrant to access, however. Of course, this issue can be mitigated somewhat by encrypting your data before you transfer it to your cloud provider.
He also believes he will be able to write code that will demonstrate what he wants software developers what to do with a very basic knowledge of javascript.

Okay, he does sound a lot more full of it on this second point.

Edit: PS4 does not support dual band.
Seems weird that they went with one specific company.
I'm jealous.
Plus, iPhones don't have NFC, so that kinda rules them out.
