Four Root DNS Servers Go IPv6 On February 4th

I Don't Believe in Imaginary Property writes "On February 4th, IANA will add AAAA records for the IPv6 addresses of the four root servers. With this transition, it will finally be possible for two internet hosts to communicate without using IPv4 at all. Certain obsolete software may face compatibility problems due to the change, but those issues are addressed in an ICANN report (pdf)."

  1. on the nature of rape by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Troll

    This is completely OT, but I"m having an argument about the nature of rape. The other party are trying to convince me that it's about control, not sex.

    I explained to them that men want sex. Men also want TVs. Some men, if they can't afford a TV or don't want to pay for it, will steal the TV. Similarly, some men, if they aren't offered sex by a lover, can't afford it, or don't want to pay for it, will rape.

    The other party couldn't grasp this.

    Taking the TV without the consent of the owner of the TV is not about wielding control over the owner, it's about getting a TV.

    Having sex without the consent of the owner of the body is not about wielding control over the owner, it's about getting sex.

    How simple is this? It's about an abhorrent means to an end.

    It's completely ruining work into rape prevention that there's this feminist refusal to acknowledge that it's natural for men to have a strong drive for sex, and that some men do not apply that drive appropriately.

    "I want sex."

    "No, you want control."

    All further counselling is based on convincing the man of something that's not remotely true. Placed in denial, the potential rapist who has gone to seek help is no less likely to rape, and the convicted rapist is never rehabilitated.

    Need examples? Hell, only last week a drunk girlfriend at a party was nearly "taken advantage of". You think the man was doing it to control her, rather than to get his rocks off?
