    just walked down a street and the houses were numbered 16k, 32k, 64k, 128k - it was a like a trip down memory lane.

        They use number schemes like that to prevent ram raiding.

          Numbering streets isn't a trivial problem, to address.

            Some folks can do it in a flash.

              but if the bus isn't wide enough would have to split into segments - might hurt if it's a slow bus or long time late-ency

              Sin tack the any key okay

                Yes but they should put more attention to the quality thant to the speed. Getting a car through badly numbered streets is a hard drive.

                    But most the time you WORM your way through.

                          I've been there, many of the houses on the north end have broken windows.
