Roll it out in the cell phones and the problem is solved! Most of the growth in the adress space is in the mobile space, so if the telecom backbone is made IPv6-compatible and all our fancy iPhones and Android phones resolve IPv6-adresses instead, we won't run out of adresses.
Encrypting sender and recipient is hard and in the summary it's clear that it's mostly sender and recipient that's being recorded. Who's talking to who is more important for data mining than what you're actually saying to each other.
Hollywood, you can keep producing ridiculously expensive and wasteful movies, but you gotta come up with better excuses when you're losing money.
Since when are the movie companies really losing money? All I hear is that their profits are up and they're complaining about unrealistic, non-existing superprofits such as a gazillion dollars per downloaded movie.
What they're really losing money over are lawyer costs and lost sales. Give us iTunes and Hulu in Sweden and people will stop downloading. Promise!
Please link me to an independent source that proves me wrong. I'd love that.
In Sweden, all crimes were investigated by the police - until IPRED. As far as I know, there's no difference between criminal and civil law - if it's again some law then it's criminal. We don't have the lawsuit paradigm over here.
Then again, I'm not a Swedish lawyer, are you?
While I wouldn't share the harsh language of the hating parent, the spirit of it I can agree with. The IPRED law (which this ruling is about) essentially bypasses the fundamental rights of citizens to please the lobbyists. The law was frowned upon by civil rights groups and several relevant parts of the Swedish government protested publically. The law was proposed anyway by the Reinfeldt government after explicitly promising that
"Vi tycker att upphovsrätten ska värnas, men vi vill inte kriminalisera en hel ungdomsgeneration."
or "We think copyright should be protected, but we don't want to make the entire youth generation criminals."
and passed by the Riksdag and went into effect on April 1, 2009 (what a joke). This law essentially turned the Hollywood lawyers play police on their own (what could possibly go wrong?).
I had the opportunity recently to have a question relayed to Mr. Reinfeldt and the question I posed was essentially "Why did you say one thing and then do the opposite after the election?".
The answer was another lie; equivalent to "The original statement was that swedish police should not hunt these criminals. We have other methods for that." which essentially means that it's okay to pass laws that lets the Hollywood lawyers play police. I have a recording of that answer here (Swedish, MP3) as proof of these deceptions.
Of course, the ISP:s didn't want to play along and this went to court over the privacy of their customers, citing fundamental laws of the European Union. But that's vapor to Hollywood. I'm sure we havn't seen the last of this yet.
Oh, and by the way, the opposition in Sweden is playing on this. They've stated that they would like to remove the IPRED law. What they fail to mention is that they also would like to implement something even more hideous.
All the computers are shipped from China via the Netherlands anyway, so having business in each country seems like a bad idea. Why not have a single EU store and headquarters, much like in the US?
Besides, because of free trade within the EU, a swedish customer can just order one from Germany - and pay German taxes - no swedish VAT added, for example.
Probably the same way Sweden deals with it. With a series of tube... I mean, with a truck.
There used to be a train going from north to south and back again all day long but it turned out that having trucks was more profitable. Strange.
90-110 words per minute is typing really fast. The standard length of a word is five letters and if you measured with that word length you really have nothing to worry about. I couldn't imagine anyone writing faster than that.
The artist, Frank Gaylord, probably was paid for his artwork back in the days. So if I sell you a painting, can't you do anything you want with it – including selling pictures of it on postal stamps to others?
I even got to be so good at transcribing the notes to LaTeX "cheatsheets" as you call them, that I tried taking notes directly in LaTeX in real time during a (math heavy) lecture. To my great satisfaction I succeded – but then I didn't understand diddly-squat of what I had written down.
Slides can be both a blessing and a "PowerPoint Hell". Sometimes the professor surprises you by diverting from the slides and starts writing lots and lots on the blackboard. But the real problem is that the brain can't stay focused for hours, and taking notes keeps me awake during many lectures.
All the more reasons to build a planetary maglev transit system. Unless Tesla's going to come out with some kind of electric airbus, we better start building the future now. Heck, it'll even create jobs and save the economy.

Then we get mutant oil rigs, and ain't that cool?

Thank you for clearing this up. :)
Only on Slashdot would this be moderated "Informative".

...and they also put the (unused) sonar sensor on top the robot to make it look more human.
Is planning, creating UML and organizing projects really programming? No. Is it part of the programming process? Yes, definitely.

Posted 1 day ago, is this a late april fools joke?
I guess they need some kind of system to keep track of their timetables and salaries!
Looks like the new commodore is a computer of rank, as it's been through major revisions in general. I wonder what kernel it will incorporalte.
Money can't be a problem, just borrow it from China!

Is this one of those... monumental rulings?
Is it your opinion or experiences you're stating? Otherwise, can you supply those claims with evidence or references?
