Why Chrome's share is rising: http://bit.ly/ipbCaT This is _one_ reason. Then, there's the fact that Chrome is fast, good and "just works (tm)" for many, many people. Google also pushes adverts for Chrome in mass media/specialized media web sites, on other Google services (Gmail, YouTube...) and tries to bundle Chrome with some of its products. (eg: Google Earth). Add to that the people who just plain like it over Firefox or IE. So there are many factors involved, but bear in mind that Chrome is simple, fast, slick, responsive and "just works (tm)" for the average (and not so average) Joe. I use Fx myself because I'm addicted to some extensions that are not available in Chrome, but I think Chrome really is a good browser. Opera too, by the way.

Meteorologists have known about this for some time. They tend to form what is known as "Hole Punch" clouds.

well The Rumor is this :-> Guardian suggests that governmental attempts to control the internet are spurring these activities.These hackers are to the internet as street thugs are to a dark alley! Catch 'em and Guantanamize 'em..!!! ..These are acts of activism based on a desire for a better and free society, you say? Oh please! Next you'll be telling me that many of these hacking act thingies require education, intellect, and creativity beyond that of an average person...

The K computer is able to do work more efficiently than GPUs because it uses a very power-efficient core, the Sun VIIIfx. If you peel the onion, it seems like the real reason for energy efficiency is special purpose units and the HPC-ACE instructions. I did a quick investigation of what this core has (and what it doesn't) to make it so energy efficient. It may be an interesting read for some of you guys so leaving a link here: http://bit.ly/kTvvDE

Here's the leaked account list: http://bit.ly/kE3Q4D

The passwords before ID 3000 that were not changed are plain md5 hashes. Almost all are easily cracked. Example:
id: 642
name: shlax
hash: de434a6e3a01de06657454e07349535c
password: pretorian

The ones starting with $ are MD5 crypt passwords. The 1000 MD5 iterations add about 10 bits of apparent entropy, and the salts prevent parallelisation.

Apologies in advance, but some knowledge of particle physics is required. Just as it's hard to describe a breakthrough in computer technology to someone who has little understanding of computers....

These two links (given further down in responses to this article) are much better technical explanations than I could write:

(a) I believe this is the first direct observation. Previous experiments have looked at neutrinos produced by the sun and have addressed the solar neutrino deficit, that is, the observation that the sun doesn't produce nearly as many electron neutrinos as the standard solar model predicts. The ones that are missing have oscillated (converted) into mu (and a small portion tau) neutrinos. This is why they seem to "disappear."

(b) You are wrong in stating that the cause is unknown. When the effects of neutrinos were first observed, physicists believed they had zero rest mass, like the photon. I can't recall what the argument for this designation was at the time (been a while since physics classes), but it simply may have been something like, "electrons and positrons are the lightest elementary particles, so these new thingies that invisibly carry away momentum from reactions like beta (and muon) decay, which we have shown have far less mass than the electron, are zero mass particles like a photon." (I dearly hope I'm not way off base on my history of particle physics here.)

In the 80's and 90's the possibility of non-zero rest mass neutrinos was first entertained, as it would explain a few things. This idea was received skeptically, though not with hostility, at first (as I well remember). Theoreticians immediately demonstrated that non-zero rest mass neutrinos would convert, or oscillate, between flavors as a direct result of their having mass. Because they have mass, it is the mass eigenstates of the neutrinos that don't vary with time. This means that the flavor eigenstates *do* vary with time. Therefore, an electron neutrino will have increasing probability of being measured as a muon neutrino with increasing time. (In their flavor eigenstates, the neutrinos have unmixed flavor and are (I believe) massless. In their mass eigenstates (the ones we can measure), the neutrinos have mass and are flavor-mixed. This mixing is what allows them to fluctuate back and forth between electron and muon neutrinos (with a bit of tau mixing thrown in).)

I'm sure this makes it all clear as mud. Here's a sub-link on eigenstates and neutrino mixing from CERN:

There are approximately 16 patents per $100 million spent in Australian publicly funded Research Institutions http://bit.ly/jROW2M. Other nations are not radically different. Therefore, France's concept may give a better return on investment whilst stimulating innovation. The danger is if they act as a Troll to intimidate other nations?

Actually, they can use this as a competitive advantage by favoring French or favored companies in licensing terms. They could give them generous (read cheap) licenses while charging others higher fees; thereby giving some companies an economic advantage.

I'd say for most organizations, the public-facing corporate website breaking is less of a big deal than if all e-mail routing ground to a halt for a day. Not that this was likely to happen today.

HTTP is also an easier IP application to troubleshoot than say SMTP, DNS, or even and routing at layer 3. When troubleshooting effectively, you make small changes then observe the effects of the change. Which is really the next reason not to test SMTP on IPv6 today...

Participants aren't just testing HTTP servers today. Someone also had to keep a close eye on DNS infrastructure, and network layer 3. I have seen Cyrus IMAP Murder clusters failing to replicate with link-local IPv6 turned on in DNS and on the IMAP servers, while IPv6 was disabled at network layer 3. That tends to back up mail routing real quick, when something like IMAP services do not function as expected. Its nearly impossible to troubleshoot a situation like that, mail routing is backed up, DNS queries all seem to work, and then you have Cyrus spewing weird incomprehensible error messages which might lead you on a red herring troubleshooting hunt. I am sure most participants do not want a shit-storm to deal with today, just by throwing mail services into the ring.

So our own organization turned on IPv6 at layer 3 on a few isolated VLANs a couple months ago to test everything out-of-band in a lab environment. We learned a few lessons like what exactly NDP (Network Discovery Protocol) does in IPv6, and how to firewall an IPv6 Linux server. The ICMPv6 rules are drastically different than the equivalent on IPv4, because you're supplanting ARP with NDP for the most part. Gradually we turned on IPv6 in the production DMZ VLAN. Then turned IPv6 on for one external DNS server and the corporate website, observed the effects for a day and made adjustments. Then finally turned IPv6 on for the remaining external DNS servers. At which time, it was discovered our TLD doesn't fully support IPv6 DNS glue yet, despite them being a fairly early adopter of technologies like IPv6 and DNSSEC.

Today was about testing the waters by sticking a toe in, not diving in head first to a pool with only 3 inches of water. Events like today's puts pressure on hardware vendors, major ISPs, and application vendors. It would be great to be able to dump some network stats for my IPv6 interfaces on the DNS boxes, although our network monitoring systems don't quite fully support IPv6 yet. There really isn't a good way to differentiate DNS or interface stats between IPv4 and IPv6, yet.

I kept some pretty thorough notes on IPv6 Linux configuration for anyone who hasn't had a chance to play with IPv6, yet, link here.

There was a piece on NPR about this about a week ago: http://bit.ly/mnZf5r Quite interesting to listen to this in its entirety (about 46 min). The reactions from listeners to that program were markedly different from what the slashdot crowd generally seems to think.

Some Internet Service Providers like Plusnet is currently showcasing IPv6 technology today, giving customers the chance to test out the new technology for 24 hours. Will be interesting to read about their experience and comments. check it out http://bit.ly/kVSoJE

That the hacking community has 0 sense of morality at this point? That is more and more the impression I'm getting.

No, we have lots of morality. Check out our lengthy moral code....

I'm passing up the opportunity to mod you down. As they say on Slashdot, "You must be new here."

Please don't feed the trolls. Also, I'm surprised at your reaction to someone you don't know posting a shortened URL to something you don't want to see. If you are that sensitive this type of imagery then I suggest you browse at a higher threshold, don't click unknown links, or wait until someone else falls into the trap.

Somewhere, there is someone offended by the following link. Do not click if you are easily offended: http://bit.ly/hNpY50

Sorry to everyone else for another off-topic post. Some folks consider that more wrong than an unplanned visit to our old friend Mr. Goatse.

So what you are saying is that there was even more luck involved than whether or not you were wealthy. Look, I too learned Turbo Pascal in the eighties, when I was 15/16. I had learned basic before (on a Sinclair ZX 81) when I was around 13.

However, I will promptly admit it has less to do with my will than with a set of fortunate coincidences including:
1) I had the intellectual predisposition towards the theme;
2) My parents had the philosophy of investing in education (if a child wants to study/practice, he/she will (be it music, languages, computers, sports, whatever)
3) My parents were wealthy enough to go far in point number 2 above;
4) My father was an engineer and brought home a computer at a time very few people did;

I remember well the time. It was 1986/87, I was already crazy about computers when I went as an exchange student to the US. I met several american families. Not one (back in 1986/87) had an IBM PC XT at home. (if you want the stats, I saw two families with Commodore 64s, one with a TI-99, two with Apple IIc's (brand new at the time) and one guy with an IBM PC Jr. Several had no computer. Before retuning to my country I purchased an IBM PC XT (through Computer Shopper, how else?). I also got the Turbo Pascal 3.0 full package -- which included Turbo Tutor and a bunch of coding examples, such as Gameworks, Editor Toolbox, etc. Oh the memories, it looked like this http://bit.ly/lkxM6D or this http://bit.ly/is74Id

Anyway, I would not be so blasè, and say "Where there's a a will..." I believe my experience and your experience are exceptional and the result of a series of factors that came together by chance.
