  1. Re:IQeye on Is Cheap Video Surveillance Possible? · · Score: 2, Funny

    Come on and live with us in Sweden. There's no need to get a gun since the almost only criminals get killed by other criminals. And if you should defend yourself with your gun it's you who goes to jail. We get an insurance instead and just accept the fact that our cars get stolen and our homes plundered. And forget about owning a bike more expensive that it's lock for more than a week. I guess you would expect a working police force with >60% taxes, but swedes are not that demanding.

    Probably the less power-hungry machines will run on 56W or below, to match the maximum power supplied by the next generation of Power over Ethernet (IEEE 802.3at).

  3. Re:NAT needed? on Obsession With Firewalls Could Hinder IPv6 · · Score: 1

    Today, a standard firewall topology has public (routable) ip adresses on the outside (internet) and private addresses on the inside. The firewall does NAT between the networks. To allow outside access to an internal device, the firewall administrator must configure NAT mappings from public outside adresses and ports to inside addresses and ports, and firewall policies that allow the connections.

    In an IPv6 environment, there will be public addresses on both outside and inside. The firewall will normally route packets (instead of doing NAT). Thus, the administrator only needs to configure the firewall policies. This can be done today if you have public IP adresses for your internal network. So it is noting new.

  4. Re:High time to stop duplication on Fedora Holds Summit To Map Its Future · · Score: 1

    What is nice with firefox is that they have limited user choice from the start by excellent packaging and limiting of features. Open source can be successful either on a a pure technical basis (like MRTG for example) or by the combination of marketing, technical merit and packaging like firefox.
