Tyranny...from a government who will have the enviable position of being permitted to suspend civil rights to stop the first two groups from getting out of hand.
Defects in the source code IMO constitute reasonable doubt just as if you were given a speeding ticket based upon an improperly calibrated speed gun (kangaroo nature of traffic court notwithstanding)
Additionally, if the source code is suspect enough to invite a challenge to probable cause, then that endangers any subsequent blood tests based on "fruit of a poisoned tree", particularly if the state knew about defects.
My point was that had v4's been from the beginning treated like the scarce resources they are now proving to be, we wouldn't be in this mess right now.
Perhaps later we'd want v6, but better stewardship from the beginning would have prevented the present crisis.
And also, notice that there is no BUSINESS case for it, even though there's plenty of technical merit.
Business, not technological merit, is vetoing v6 right now. Translation: The current holders are greedy and won't budge unless we answer "what's in it for them"
I will happily admit that v6 will make things much easier. However, the corporate entitlement mentality is definitely making things worse than they need to be.
Again, the problem is hoarding of unused IPv4 addresses.
We'd be just fine if it weren't for folks like MIT that have way more IP's than they need.
Of course, when a resource gets tight, the folks who have it become kings. You can bet your behind no company is going to give up it's v4's without a fight.
I'm glad that IPv6 is based upon a stewardship model rather than an ownership model. And also that the v6 guys are leaving 87 percent of the potential v6 namespace unallocated
1) An unfortunate homonymical situation where someone with your name makes you look bad 2) Random assholes who use forged profiles to libel you and deny you a job
Violation of privacy or not, I would consider online information to be of dubious value at any rate.
Bein DA BOSS may mean your employee is helpless to stop you from googling him, however, no amount of authority will be able to authenticate your results.
However, your prospective boss probably won't care, and is likely to make snap decisions on factors you have NO CONTROL over. That's life, eating other people's shit and suffering for it.
And if asked why you got passed over, it'll be "why you presumptuous bastard it's NONE OF YOUR FUCKING BUSINESS why I didn't hire you. And the fact you even had the audacity to challenge me only proves I was right. So there!"
Bottom line, post defensively, but keep your fingers crossed anyway.
What I mean is that, in corporate law, a corporation is forbidden to put anything but profit as it's top priority.
"The public be damned" is a legally mandated view, unless you're lucky enough to count it as good PR and the shareholders happen to agree with you.
Corporations screw over people because they are legally required to in the sense that their "fiduciary obligation to the shareholders" is nothing more than a vampire's license.
Private industry has a proven track record of sacrificing the future while they loot the present.
What needs to change is the fscking concept that shareholders are gods.
And also that the shareholders can sit back and let the dividends roll in while the corporations run loose and wild with a mandatory lust for profit that drowns out all other concerns.
Profit should NOT be required to be the top priority for a company.
Legally, there is no such thing as enough profit. That must change.
Of course, then you'll have selfish ex-shareholders not willing to invest, but such is life when it is run by selfish people.

Except that if states KNOW their breathalyzers are suspect, that knowledge can be imputed to the police, and probable cause evaporates.
But you sound like a troll, so I'm not feeding you anymore.
If you let the world know the name of the airline that ripped you off, could we not boycott them?
I'm sure damaging a customer's gear and then refusing to pay for the damage will look REAL good for PR...
So why not complain?
Are you a sheep?

Insightful.
And ditto for the economic side effects caused by said backstabbing, lying, and greed.

I would consider it censorship to impose any such agreement in the first place.
Particularly if it's anything that a shareholder would be entitled to know about.
Good luck finding a company without enough monopoly power to force such a work-for-hire provision upon you on a strictly "take it or leave it" basis.
Especially with the current economy the way it is.
I wonder if someone at MS paid Acer off to screw it up...
Massive DNSSEC usage
IPv6 rollout
Duke Nukem Forever
The order in which these will happen is probably significant.
I would hope that DNSSEC gets rolled out before IPv6 owing to the increased reliance

If there's no other way to change the default that's a good sacrifice.
They want their hair brained scheme back

It's the only fair way to deal with companies that tier and oversubscribe to hell.
And if someone winds up congested because the upstream is clogged, metering will prevent him from paying the same for less service.
Is it possible for neighbors to snoop each other's packets?
Well since caching is an inherent part of HTTP, I have no objection as long as CV's proxies properly obey Cache-control and Expires directives etc...
About all we can do is bitch at the FTC for not doing enough to encourage competition in the broadband market.

Whatever happened to the common good?
For me all it says is that it's been sealed.
But it said it was by an oregon court.
Of course, given what Kentucky just pulled it might not even matter.
Seriously, why do you think you can trust them?
Not only do they choke out vital ebusiness, but they have powerful botnets at their disposal that they can use to launch DDoS attacks with.
In fact, they did just that when Blue Frog actually managed to put a stop to spam.
So I would even go so far as to call them terrorists.
If stupid evote contractors made their machines at least as secure as a locked paper box (which is an easy standard, really), I would
As it is, with the way Diebold's screwed up, I wouldn't touch an evote machine with a ten mile poll, efficiency be damned.
It's no good being efficient if you sacrifice security.
Or, in a programming context.
Don't optimize by cutting out error checking and security.
Garbage in is still garbage out no matter how fast you process it.
The trouble is random assholes exploit the same things that political dissidents require for their freedom.
It's also why spammers prosper so well, because they abuse people's need for email.
