Every Vista Computer Gets Its Own Domain Name
c_forq writes, "According to APC magazine, every new Windows Vista computer will be given its own domain name to access files remotely. There is a catch though: to use it one must be using IPv6. Is the push for Vista also going to be the push finally to switch everything from IPv4 to IPv6?" Microsoft, meanwhile, is trying to convince businesses to adopt both Vista and Office 2007 at once. An analyst is quoted: 'In all likelihood, enterprises will tie deployment of both Vista and Office 2007 with a hardware upgrade cycle.' His reasoning is that it will be easier for companies to handle one disruption to IT systems than two. Or three.
Your kidding about 3 right?
pissing people like you off
No self respecting Linux d00d would work for a fag anyway, so there goes your argument.
You can cook your food over elephant shit, too, but it's not the best way to keep your house smelling nice.
"You're right," Fisheye says. "I should have set it on 'whip' or 'chop.'"
Lack of pussy?
I tried using Linux once. I have way more knowledge about it than the average user. It PISSED the hell out of me. Half the functionality is buried waist deep in manuals! I could only figure out the raw basics of what was going on, couldn't make anything work without already knowing the arcane commands to do it, and it was a general nightmare. I had fun trying to format a hard disk, where the program couldn't mount the parts of the drive that weren't formatted, and could only format what was mounted! Horrible.
Praise Linux all you like, but until it gets past a 2/10 in accessibility, I'm sticking with Windows. Linux is still a ragtag mess of an OS.
We cannot have IPv6 until the authorities and powers that be online, get a handle on the spam problem. The increased address space as a result of the introduction of ipV6 will make spamming and computer crimes exponentially worse.
I urge everyone to refuse to jump on the ipV6 bandwagon until other problems are solved first. We have the technology to work around any existing limitations in TCP/IP right now without introducing additional features that would open a Pandora's Box of spamming nightmares.
