Since all the words appear in the dictionary, your spelling is spot on.
Your grammar, however, sucks.
Grammar is a high level mechanism that is context, meaning, and even situationally dependent. Asking a computer to verify grammar and expect perfection is an exercise in folly.
So instead, computers focus on the spelling, and rightfully trust the humans running them to handle the complex grammar according to what circumstances demand.
No, what I'm getting at is with DRMed torrents, the MAFIAA might actually back off on filesharing.
DRMed torrents may potentially receive the full blessing of both the MAFIAA and consequently ISPs who no longer have to fear the dogs of war, DRMed torrents will start getting a foothold and suddenly, regular torrents will finally have competition.
What's to stop the guy who buys the first license from decrypting it and uploading it anyway? Seriously, this just makes their job easier since they'll have the content right with them!
Then again, if ISPs and the RIAA start leaving DRMed torrents alone and only go after the unprotected ones......yikes...this IS bad.
As the GP said, until the ISPs get off their lazy, blood-sucking asses and actually start supporting v6,
And the ISPs have a damn good reason to hold up v6...
1. v4 is a gold mine precious scarce resource that can be hoarded and RENTED out bit by bit while raking in metric assloads of cash. 2. NAT as a workaround does a fine job of suppressing both home servers and p2p
And until the major ISPs start playing ball, nobody will set it up as a default because of the sheer amount of griping.
ARIN in theory has the authority to revoke or simply not renew IP space that isn't being used properly. They are leased, not sold.
Whether they can survive the political shitstorm that would ensue as a result is another thing.
I'm sure that "national security" will be thrown around against ARIN over v4 shortages just like it was against the EFF when they whined about ACTA being kept under wraps.
I think the reason that v4's are being used slowly is because now everyoe knows that they are scarce and are being conservative, and the people who grabbed the most of them back when they were being given away will find their holdings quite valuable.
Just like china's recent move to lock in their rare earth supplies, companies that are sitting on piles of v4's will get VERY stingy with them and ensure a steady supply of them at OPEC level premiums.
Reduced demand and reduced supply rate will ensure that the v4 pool will last a very long time indeed...even if the lower-class internet population is too poor to play with the big boys that will soon be poised to take over.
v6 will only come around when v4 becomes expensive enough to be worth the bother. That is the business case that will get v6 pushed...assuming that the v4 barons don't obstruct it. Considering how profitable v4 access is going to become, I would not be surprised if they fight v6 tooth and nail. There is no business case, because at the moment the v4 barons have every reason to stand in the way, which by the way will make v6 adoption problematic.
The sad thing is that until v4 barons finish sucking the market dry (which will unfortunately take a VERY long time thanks to hoarding) or v6 gets enough momentum and traction to provide refuge, us mortal folk will have to put up with overpriced rented and natted v4's that will have the convenient side effect of obstructing both home servers as well as p2p...the two things that all ISPs love to hate the most.
v4 will die a slow painful death while corporate vampires suck it dry and milk it for every penny. Only after we have been thoroughly raped and pillaged by greedy ISPs giving us shitty NAT at outrageous monopoly prices for a VERY long while will v6 be able to arrive unimpeded.
I'm afraid that by then, especially in this economy, that most of the internet population that needs v6 the most will have already pawned their surfboards and bid farewell forever to the great world wide web.
Sadly, the system will make sure that in case a) you take the credit and the guy who did the work will get shafted, and that in b) you'll be long gone while he gets the blame when it carks.
Just another case of a PHB sticking his nose where it doesn't belong.
If someone above you on the food chain is telling you HOW to do your job, that's micromanaging, especially when you know more than they do about what you are doing.
I suspect it's also aggravated by a bunch of sleazy contractors taking advantage of desperate clients who know that they're about to get bit in the behind, and deciding to cheap out and do a half-assed job in the first place.
Seriously, after what caused Y2K, only a complete moron or a crook would add 2000 to a single digit in a barcode.
Running a business that's foundering in an economy is like being captain of a cargo vessel in a storm...with bloodthirsty sharks waiting for you to capsize.
Laying off good employees is a bit like tossing gold overboard. Definitely something you'd rather not do, but if you're in the middle of sinking you don't have much of a choice.
Most people are already in worse predicaments and need the money more.
Of the people left, some will be unsympathetic "serves ya right" and will let him flounder Some will be too busy counting the millions they bilked out of the economy. Some will just plain not care. Some will pounce on his desperation and scam him for what little he's got left.
I don't know why (rather, I do but it is politically incorrect to mention the reasons), but there's this thing called karma that almost always seems to bite you in the ass sooner or later if you make a habit of cheating.
And that's just in this life. Those of us who are religiously minded (and let's face it, nobody really knows first hand what it's like after death), may well care about the prospects of an afterlife.
A pity though that you are right about the world being full of cheaters. It means that those of us who find ourselves the victim of shenanigans are just expected to bend over, take it in the butt, and not whine about it lest we become marked as a goody two shoes who won't cooperate with the crooked people running the show.
Why not just hard-block incoming email that is spoofed?
Any message that fibs about its origin is almost by definition deceptive and fraudulent and is pretty safe to block. Those few cases due to misconfigured servers, well sucks to be you, fix the damn configuration.
And people that run email servers should stop pussy-footing around with SOFTFAIL records.

More like a chicken-and-egg problem, with greedy, v4 holding foxes guarding the henhouse.
There's a reason for that.
As the GP said, until the ISPs get off their lazy, blood-sucking asses and actually start supporting v6,

You make a good point.
ARIN in theory has the authority to revoke or simply not renew IP space that isn't being used properly. They are leased, not sold.
Whether they can survive the political shitstorm that would ensue as a result is another thing.
I'm sure that "national security" will be thrown around against ARIN over v4 shortages just like it was against the EFF when they whined about ACTA being kept under wraps.
And what's up with IP addresses being freaking HARD WIRED into devices?
That could just as much be laziness as a big fat "mine mine mine"
Not just holding, but hoarding.
That's what people tend to do with scarce resources.
they don't call them monsters for nothing.
Actually getting them to cough up their unneeded allocations will be a hellish fight.
This used to be a big reason for the need for many v4 addresses.
Nowadays with HTTP/1.1, you have to make the host explicit in your request, and failure to specify is not optional.
It does require a modern web server to handle things properly.
To get v6 internet, you need cooperation all the way up to the tier 1 providers. If even one of them isn't playing ball, the chain breaks.
The first thing that needs to happen for v6 to prosper is for v4 to suffer.

How convenient then that the ATMs were down...
Just another case of a PHB sticking his nose where it doesn't belong.

Holy cow, patents lasting 8000 years?
If IP law ever gets that screwed up then count me among the grateful dead!

Anyone smart enough to actually read the fine print would be out of a job offer.
Why bother with smart-asses when you can count on having plenty of desperate sheeple to abuse?
None.
Most people are already in worse predicaments and need the money more.
Of the people left, some will be unsympathetic "serves ya right" and will let him flounder
Some will be too busy counting the millions they bilked out of the economy.
Some will just plain not care.

Better yet, don't donate it at all?
Keep it, save it, invest it.

Can't you simply run SMTP over SSL like they do HTTP?
Ok, here's an idea.
