Public order is a legitimate concern of government. They're just trying to avoid a large number of blunt force trauma deaths featuring perimortem ingestion of a cell phone.
Consider, XP itself is hopelessly out of date and unsupported. Since XP was for workstations (not servers) SLACC made plenty of sense (and it still does).
Notably, if v6 was enabled and it didn't get a router announcement, it would auto-configure Teredo.
Basically, it worked well enough to meaningfully operate in a dual stack environment. It would not work in a v6 only environment.
I mean every flavor of everything. CASE tools, XML, CORBA, Ruby on Rails, Java, a zillion management fads, you name it, as soon as some exec read about it while waiting for tee time, it became a must have. Except for IPv6 apparently.
But I agree the extremes they're going to to avoid just going with v6 are silly at the least. Personally, I would love to just go with v6 so I can get enough addresses allocated without submitting my last colonoscopy and the opinions of 3 or more fortune tellers, but it's just not a great option if nobody can reach it.
Beyond that, the places that are still using their legacy COBOL made the decision because what they have is immense and complex. Even a skilled and experienced COBOL programmer will take plenty of time getting up to speed on that particular codebase. It will not go well for a company that waits untill the last programmer retires or dies to start getting someone up to speed.
Meanwhile, since the mention of COBOL on a resume sets off every "no, we would never discriminate against age" red flag, they'll need to offer some serious long term employment guarantees to attract someone into what would otherwise be a serious career limiting move.
It depends on why you're gambling. If you go to see a few shows, enjoy a few comped meals and drop a pre-defined amount of cash, it might actually be a rational decision. Perhaps even a bit of idle dreaming about getting rich. If you go expecting to come home with more than you left with, you are, indeed, a fool.
For the lottery, some see it as a cheap daydream. That's just a matter of personal preferences. If it's your retirement plan, that's a problem.
Sorry, no. The only thing that's changed is the urge to make more money faster has overridden concerns that banks could go away if they lose consumer confidence.
Part of this changing times is that these days a bank account is more important to fully participating in society. Stuffing it under the mattress is just not much of an option anymore.
It would be interesting to see your excuse for charging customers fees for services they didn't sign up for and saw no benefit from.
I would need to know more about the phone, but if it's the typical case, it really only has one audio output that is then routed at the hardware level to one of several physical outputs. For example, will it route the voice from a phonecall to bluetooth and the headphone jack at the same time? Will it play music on the headphone jack while routing a voice call to bluetooth?
The reason I ask is because I suspect Pulse is simply interposed between the various apps and a single ALSA device. Given that the phone is a specialized environment, it may be that the apps have no way to communicate directly with ALSA, so shooting Pulseaudio in the head would result in silence, but IF the apps are built like typical desktop apps where they will talk directly to ALSA if Pulse isn't available, shooting Pulseaudio would result in lower latency sound output. It would also reduce CPU usage and so increase battery life.
One stormy night, I had a good laugh when power glitched at the TV station and they actually broadcast the Solaris boot. I'll bet they wanted it to boot faster that night.
Actually, it did. It wasn't configured out of the box until SP2 or 3 but you could configure it if you wanted from day 1. TYhe protocol driver was on the install disk.
V4 has changed as much as v6 has over the years. For example, source routing and source quench went away. Congestion control has changed a good bit.
The fact that enterprises have only recently gotten interested in v6 just means they were asleep at the switch for a long time. They jumped on every flavor of the month they could find while ignoring the one thing that was nearly certain to be around for the long haul.
There's part of the problem. ALSA has advanced enough that the best way to improve sound handling is to uninstall Pulseaudio. Why polish a turd when there's a perfectly good toilet handy? I thought GNOME2 was quite adequate, but switched to XFCE4 when they totally screwed it up. Udev was handling hotplug just fine without systemd butting in. Suspend works fine with init scripts.
Too many confuse "different" with improved. To really be an improvement, it must either do something useful that the old way couldn't do (or be made to do), or it must do it much more elegantly than the old way could.
So I'll turn it around, why are we beset with these re-invented wheels when they could have made a few tweaks to get the old system to do what they wanted?
If you want the new shiny to be embraced, just offer it up. Don't yank away what was working nad cram it down people's throats. People don't like things being crammed down their throats. If it doesn't catch on and you really want it to, ask yourself and others why? What feature got dropped that turned out to be more important to more people than you thought?
Consider, Xorg took over XFree overnight. It did so because it did everything XFree did but configuring it sucked a lot less. It didn't tell people who were happy the way things worked now that they were wrong and would have to do it differently now. Nobody complained about udev. Nobody got all that upset when sendmail was demoted to alternate.
So why can't Wayland get a foothold? Because they not only refused to promise any sort of support for display over the network, but actually denied that X could do it. (I understand that's been/being addressed now).
Why do people hate on systemd rather than addressing it's issues? Because their bug reports get marked wontfix and notabug. What's the point of submitting a patch if it's already been made clear it will be rejected?
So why not Mir? The correct question is "why Mir?". We've seen claims about things it will one day bring to the party but they aren't yet evident. And now, the other fear is playing out, too likely to be abandoned.
That's going to blow up in spectacular fashion as soon as v6 only sites start popping up that you or your employer care about (there are v6 only sites now, but mostly not targeted at English speakers).
It goes well beyond the boomers. v6 has been around for TWENTY years and TFA is calling it "new". The kids coming out of school now seem to think of it as "new" as well. Even XP supports v6, just how new could it be? Before you cast too many stones at the boomers, remember you seem to have been asleep for 10 years yourself. By the time you noticed this v6 thing, I was running dual stack at home so I could get familiar with it.
This from the same industry that gushes over every new application framework that offers no tangible benefits over the old framework and will probably be yesterday's news by the time an actual project can be completed. Where are all those much younger network guys pushing for a v6 initiative? For God's sake, Comcast beat them to v6!
At $300,000/year if there are only 1000 people in the world with MD buying the drug, that's 300 million a year or about 6 billion over the life of the patent. Surely that will cover it all and a lot more.
And unfortunately there's a LOT more than 1000 people with MD.
Consider, without the government, there would be no such thing as a corporation in the first place.
Moving past that, the public good is to be the paramount consideration of government. So contracts against the public good may not be enforced. That's why you cannot be forced to commit a crime to fulfill a contract, even if it wasn't a crime when the contract was signed. It's also why contracts of adhesion have limited enforcement and vague language interpreted in the favor of the other party.
You spoke of willingness and good faith. Thus, a judge must consider the inherently coercive nature of employment when there are few employers and many people out of work. Further, an attempt to treat someone as an employee but with the lesser rights of a contractor, contrary to employment law is not good faith.

Every utterance from a lawyer not a direct quote of statute is pretty much an opinion.
Pretty please give me your wallet?
You wouldn't want to bring a beat down on yourself, would you?

So no excuses there, the capability existed.

Java is the new COBOL.
Out of curiosity, what did they do?
It's much like Ferraris are in high demand as long as they can be had new for $20,000 or less and don't have to be insured.
Beyond that, the places that are still using their legacy COBOL made the decision because what they have is immense and complex. Even a skilled and experienced COBOL programmer will take plenty of time getting up to speed on that particular codebase.

Sam Walton rode the bus to work and packed a bag lunch when he was running WalMart. It didn't turn into a hellhole until he died.

Any security NAT can give you can easily be implemented in v6 with a few simple rules.
Actually, it did. It wasn't configured out of the box until SP2 or 3 but you could configure it if you wanted from day 1. TYhe protocol driver was on the install disk.

Nobody claimed there was any violation of the license.

You give the government license to weigh in on a contract as soon as you rely on the courts to help you enforce it.
Agreed, you being pissed off is retarded and irrelevant.
No, they said the INCREASE in average temperature had nothing to do with increased output from the sun. (Smacks AC with sandal).
