The initial call for mirrors was before Diebold was on to them, if I remember correctly, just in case, and so that the data would exist *somewhere* in the public. The people doing the mirroring are (rightfully, IMO) helping to ensure that the flaws in the system are exposed for all to see.
Regardless of some individuals motivation (maybe some are doing it just to spite Diebold itself), it really is a Good Thing(tm) to do.
Now if only we could figure out why the hell the ACLU has such wood for the electronic voting machines...
Yeah. I already do that. It doesn't have quite the dramatic effect when I do it that he talks about (admittedly I only briefly glanced around). Someone taught me that way back when I was learning how to drive - basically avoid flashing your brakes at the person behind you and it'll smooth out at least a bit.
There's still room for improvement, though.
Speaking of the "no cause at all" part - or rather, the cause not being immediately evident, I have to say that the Seattle area is one of the worst. Seattle's construction workers seem to like to put up signs, and then leave them there. Signs that say things like merge left or merge right, but never follow up by closing the lanes. This causes all sorts of hassle for everyone.
I really wish the city/region could fine the construction folks for leaving those signs out.
Special self-driving vehicle lanes for the highway would be pretty cool - they'd have the potential of running very smoothly, even if they don't move any faster overall than normal lanes. Should be safer, too.
Then once the person is back on the surface streets it kicks back in to manual drive, perhaps. At least that might be an easier transition.
"State and federal law enforcers and Internet service providers such as EarthLink, Inc. would be allowed to pursue spammers, but individual users could not sue directly."
That's majorly unfortunate. It basically means that spammers will be able to buy (through settlements) access to ISPs, and the customers will have no recourse.
Oh, I know. Many people who would classify themselves as environmentalists are crazy in the head, and cannot accept anything except perhaps having no power at all.
Heh, imagine if it were law to be as you represent yourself to be. "You call yourself an environmentalist! C'mon, give up that VW Bus."
Ah, yes. You are right. I'd forgotten about that. I do think that's kind of an assinine requirement, but, it is indeed required. So, there's one good reason to go IPv6 so far. Sweet.;)
An ideal solution would allow you to have control of the port forwarding, yeah. Like, a CGI at the ISP that would allow you to temporarily forward a port to your own port. In fact that'd probably be easier to manage (for most Windows folks say) than serial'ing in to their NAT router.
The fact is there are ways to make it work, that will cost a lot less to develop and deploy than the mass-migration to IPv6.
There may well be other great reasons to move to IPv6 - but the so-called IP shortage is not one of them.
a) Fix the relatively minor errors in allocations of the past. Spend a few bucks, maybe, and some hours.
b) Spend billions of dollars in software and hardware and millions of man-hours upgrading the entire Internet (granted, it doesn't all have to happen at once).
I think a) is obviously the more sane choice here. I mean, given the inefficiencies of the past, is there any reason whatsoever to believe that IPv6 won't be handled similarly?
Hey, that's nice. It's only been forever since HTTP allowed you to host more than one site per IP, but you go on and use the old school one-site-one-IP method, that's cool.
There are plenty of ways to host games from behind a NAT, of course, but in that case I think you're just being purposely obtuse.
would probably not notice or care if they're behind a NAT. Then the few that do could use the remaining IPs. We don't have a shortage now - not even close - unless you count the artificial shortage created by leaving several class A's in the hands of old universities and businesses.
Here in Washington (Seattle City Light) most of our electricity - 85% - comes from relatively clean hydro. It should work out to pollute less per mile except...
What I'm more curious about is how much pollution does creating these cars generate? And then, how much pollution is created when you have to get rid of the batteries (and the rest of the car?), even assume you recycle the parts until they're useless?
Military technology that never makes its way in to common use might as well not be there, for the majority of people (ie those not in the military nuclear programs)
I don't understand. You changed it to IIS/2.0, and now you get those default.ida hits? I've been seeing the default.ida hits for quite a long time on my Apache logs. What changed after you updated the ServerSignature?
I do the same thing, and people always think I'm crazy for it. I do sometimes wish for a modifier key that would automatically drop sensitivity down for precise sniper movement, though.
The ACLU is definitely not working for our (citizens) best interests here. I suggest everyone pull their funding. That they backed the electronic voting machines shows they are way, WAY out of touch with reality.
There are plenty of CDs that only have one or two songs that I even like, so rather than paying $10-20 for the disc, I'll just pay $2 for the songs I want and put 'em on one big mp3 CD.
You may want to re-read what iTunes is. You can copy the files to a CD, as a regular music CD, and then do whatever with 'em - such as conver them to mp3 for your car.
That's what I'll end up doing, anyways. (Car mp3 players are cool;)
As was said in previous Verisign articles, the "white house" magazine existed long before the domain. So if anything, it was a case of "magazine squatting" before it ever became "cybersquatting".
Nothing stopped the White House from registering whitehouse.com, back in the day.

From CNN:

That's not because of a lack of IPs in IPv4.
That's because of a completely arbitrary limitation instituted by APNIC or whoever.

It is to me.
The choices are either:
a) Fix the relatively minor errors in allocations of the past. Spend a few bucks, maybe, and some hours.
b) Spend billions of dollars in software and hardware and millions of man-hours upgrading the entire Internet (granted, it doesn't all have to happen at once).

Insert -> Object -> Paint
Then double click that and you're in MS Paint, the best tool for pie charts and other such useless graphs.

Right on. Just found a 3-pack of them at Weirdstuff.com . I'm going to do the upgrade to the 2100 (razerzone.com) with at least one of 'em.
I do the same thing, and people always think I'm crazy for it. I do sometimes wish for a modifier key that would automatically drop sensitivity down for precise sniper movement, though.
Heh, unfair? The game sells for $50 ($40 at Fry's). I'm going to compare it against other games that cost $50 new. I think that's plenty fair.
It also lets you vote more than once - that is, once per day. That right there throws the whole concept out the window.

Well, I'm willing to spend the dollar (er, 99 cents) to find out if it's suitable for my tastes, regardless of the holes in my speakers.
