Nearly all infrastructure has supported IPv6 for A LONG TIME. All major OS's have supported IPv6 transparently for the past 1-2 years. The only thing left is ISPs to set aside some of their huge cash flow and upgrade. If a company hasn't been preparing for IPv6 over the past 6 years, that's their own fault. Seems to me that any competent network admin thinks IPv6 is cake. It's all the people who are scared of learning something new that spread FUD.
IPv6 is almost the same as IPv4, except with IPv6, you don't have to worry about IPs, you can logically group IPs together and waste ranges to make things more logical.
I have to use stock firmware. DD-WRT and OpenWRT have spent over a a year working on my type of router and there's still a good chance to brick it or burn out the wireless.
It's not only up to the jury to decide if someone is guilty, but if they should also be punished.
Even if the definition of rape was "Any time a person has sex and regrets....is rape", the jury could say" we think he raped her, but we nullify the law and he won't get punished.
"Jury Nullification" look it up.
Probably a good way to get removed from jury fast to. I guess judges don't like people that are aware of this power/right as a juror.
I was responding to someone who mentioned that Comcast may have changed powerboost to be partially prioritized so quick loading data works fine, but any long transfers are abysmally slow. This would give the effect of web browsing being fine, but downloads and streaming will suck.
back-bone infrastructure grows at ~40%-50% every year and back-bone bandwidth prices drop ~50% every year.
I can understand if the bottle-neck is in the last mile for 60mb connections since last-mile bandwidth is harder and more expensive, but we're talking about 8mb connections having bottlenecks at the ISP level, not last-mile.
No way it's $200k/month for them. Level3 wanted Comcast to open up 27 10gb links. At those costs, it would be $5.4mil/month. This would also be a cost on L3s side. I doubt L3 would pay $5.4mil/month just to make Netflix happy.
My ISP actually licenses powerboost from Comcast, but my ISP's powerboost only utilizes un-used network bandwidth. Not to say this couldn't be changed.
I was recently working on a horribly written.Net app that created and de-referenced tons of objects in its main loop. The net result was memory usage going from 200MB one second to 500MB another second. Based on how quickly over all system memory was cleared up, the.Net GC must kick in right away. I'm not talking about objects lingering around for minutes or even tens of seconds, I'm talking about just a few seconds.
If you're going to gripe about using a language that uses a GC, then it's perfectly valid to gripe about ANY abstraction you use between you and the computer to program. Like any tool, it can be incorrectly used.
Light peak is meant for up to ~100m and scaling up to 100gbit in the future and meant to replace USB/SATA/HDMA/etc. I some how doubt on-chip CMOS lasers are meant for anything beyond a meter as they're meant for chipset-to-chipset..
It's the other way around, long haul is cheap and last mile is expensive.
Long-haul/back-bone bandwidth costs drop by ~50% every year, which is why total bandwidth for the back-bone increases by ~50% every year.
If the cost of my internet at home dropped by 50% every year, I would have A LOT of extra play money.
I was just reading a story from a well known tech news site (Network World I think, but could be a different one) at some point in the past 2-3 months where they were specifically talking about this and talking about how much customer's get ripped off from their ISPs.
One company alone added 13terabits of bandwidth this year between NY and London. There are several companies that run that haul, each adding massive amounts of bandwidth. They do this every year. Last year that same company added about 9terabits of bandwidth for that link, and about 7terabits the year before.
If companies can be competitive when adding gobs of bandwidth for a trans-Atlantic links, then at home links should be cheap and easy comparatively.
Heck, my mom pays $70/months for a 1mbit/128kbit FTTH, yes fiber to the home. Trace route shows her first hop being 40ms, and I know for a fact that her ISP down the road houses the first hop. Talk about over-subscribing the node. My cable i-net gives me a 15ms ping to Chicago, which is about 700miles via trace-route and I only pay $44/month for i-net portion of my bill. Takes her packets about 3 times the time to transverse 5 miles of fiber than it takes mine 700 miles.
If I remember correctly, only a century or two ago, the average person only worked about 2 hours per day. Also, the USA is one of the most over-worked countries and produces less per capita then some of the "lazier" countries that have 1-3 months of mandatory paid vaca(depending on which you look at).
Last I checked, we're consuming resources faster then we're replenishing them. Even if we went back to an extremely efficient hunter/gatherer life style and give up on cities and technology, we still wouldn't have enough land to support our current population.
We've already hit a point were we can't go back because our current population needs industrialized food production to maintain itself, but at the same time, we're consuming hundreds of cubic kilometers of specific nitrogen rich minerals each year for fertilizer just to maintain our food supply. It takes millions of years to replace these supplies and we're consuming them at rates that only gives us a couple of centuries.
I had 4 CIS classes that touched on certs. Intro to computer security, network security, web security, server security. We actually had to do our own public/private key math using excel for the large numbers for a few exercises. Teacher also had all her emails assignment PGP signed and sometimes encrypted. A few times she tried to pull a fast one on us and messed with the signature on purpose as to invalidate it. She's send us an assignment with an invalid signature, and if you did the assignment, she'd be like "Well, I didn't send it".
Shouldn't people running a dept know basics in their fields? Ma'b this person is working at one of those jobs where they have you do everything. "IT" is like that person who does everything. make a database, setup our network, and manage our servers, design a webpage...etc..
OP should be asking for a raise if that's the case or at least some paid education in those fields.
yet some large cities in the USA rival some of the less dense cities of Japan in population density, yet the less dense cities of Japan still have magnitudes better i-net service.
CA's should have to validate a business or home address, a phone number, a name, a bank-account that mirrors the supplied data and an ISP for the requested domain must also mirror supplied personal data.
Payment must come from the above bank account and No PO boxes accepted.
The CA would call the Bank and ISP and be like "We're calling to verify that you have a customer with this name with this registered address". The bank would also have the account number as part of the question, so name/address/account must match.
For business class certs anyway.
Browsers should warn for non-business class certs.
This would cut down on certs being bought by anyone.
even 2-3 minutes is a bit high. My phone's GPS is based off of triangulation and that's real time.
Using actual GPS signals from a satellite is too expensive for added circuitry. Much cheaper to use cell towers. No signal = no GPS. Got this info right out of my instruction manual.
I usually don't get many emails from customers, so it's like every 3-4 months when I get something I can't view. Actually getting Office 2k7 in a bit.../sigh
I want to make a file server with FreeBSD 9.0 and ZFS, but I want full gigabit speeds. After I got my new Win7 machine, I can SMB copy 114MB/sec between my computer and my wife's with only 1.5% cpu. I'm addicted to speed. 10gb card/switches have been coming down in price to. Looking into those for a File Server.
By the time I get this going(prob in 2 years), DDR4 will be out, 22nm 4core low power server cpus will be out. ZFS + SSD + lots of memory = ftw.
People like my cousin who run a data center with 10,000+ hard drives and by requirement must have a File System that has been considered stable for at least 5 years. Any data loss is unacceptable. Unless God targets you with His wrath, you have no excuse for any data loss or corruption.
Slashdot Mirror
In my CIS classes, there were three groups of people
1) CIS Minor/Business Major
2) Love problem solving and self taught
3) Regurgitate what they learn and the teachers recommended they change majors
I never saw a bias to push men into CIS. If there was a bias, it was to kick people out of the major. Quality > Quantity
Of the 3 girls in the major, they were all married even though in their early 20s. I guess it's first come first serve.

you missed that most backbones have been supporting IPv6 for years. It's ISPs that are dragging their feet.
I know how to use a gas pedal, I must be an auto-mechanic.

Quick search for OC3 will return ISPs that charge $10k-20k per month plus data fees which are per GB.
I'm not sure "unlimited" fits.

graphite is just very stable carbon. biologically neutral. Not sure about any additives
Chrome mirrors my Windows certs, just like IE does. Why doesn't FireFox do this?
Just seems like FF doesn't want to be used in the enterprise.
I don't use FF, so I probably don't know how to set this up, but really, why should you have to jump through hoops? Should be defaulted on.
