      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.

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