Given how hard it is to get an ISP to give you reverse DNS... how in the hell are you going to persuade the them to start updating routing tables!
All the ISPs I've found charge *per month* per IP for *zero* effort - it's just a cash cow. IPV6 won't change that... they'll charge you per month for a block of 256 or something instead. Then change their TOS so you're not allowed to run servers (if they haven't already).
All this is academic... IPV6 has been around for years and not a single ISP has shown any interest at all in implementing it. The old 192.88.99.1 'anycast' address no longer works I notice... it did 2/3 years ago, so IPV6 adoption is going backwards not forwards.
Pretty much all of the above are available in IPV4 as well.
That list looks like it was written before IPSEC became popular (who the hell uses GRE for tunneling any more??).
The biggest problem with ipv6 is *nobody* uses it. there are no websites on it, no ISPs that sell it, most hardware doesn't work with it, most software doesn't work with it... It's dead. We need to upgrade ipv4 but it needs an incremental change - maybe find a way to hack an extra byte on - rather than this overcomplex mess.
It is their property. You should agree, in the contract, to having privacy.
Actually they can't - there are laws governing this.
Where I live a landlord must give at least 24 hours notice, and can still be sued for harrassment if (for example) they decided to turn up any other day.
It's their property - but it's your *home* and you have rights.
Great. When you repair/replace your PS3 all your games become coasters.
Not sure how that can work anyway... CD is a read only medium, unless it requires an internet connection (which it aint getting.. I wouldn't trust sony not to abuse it).
A eula can't bypass possible criminal liability under the Computer Misuse Act.
EULAs have generally been held to be unenforcable in the UK anyway by courts.. they don't include standard the 'if any part of this contract is invalid the rest still holds' clause so they get struck out in their entireity by judges.
It's a side effect of their history. They aggressively defend "equality" to the point it becomes counterproductive (in a similar way that some americans defend spam on free speech grounds), so they won't implement any positive discrimination measures *at all* - everyone is a 'child of the revolution' and gets the same.. which fails to take into account they're not starting from the same baseline and need different amounts of help.
France probably won't change this policy.. it would be too radical a change in worldview at this point.
On a visit to the US I was shocked whilst travelling on the coach through florida by US attitudes - looking down from the highway you can see some wooden houses in an obviously poor area embedded right in the middle of all the highrise buildings. On enquiry our american tour guide said "that's where we keep all the black people" and was surprised that we were shocked by her statement..
Racism exists everywhere in pockets.. It's by no means the majority (although the concept of a state housing people ethnically calls means that there's a fair bit of state racism in florida at least). I've rarely come across it here, but this is a *very* multicultural city.. a racist would have driven themselves nuts within days...

If someone comes at you with one of these things, make sure you're wearing reflective clothing, or have a reflective vehicle.
Chances are the assailants with do as much blinding of themselves as you.
The wifi conneciton won't come up until someone logs in, so if you want to remote login to your machine you're out of luck unless you happen to have left it logged in specially. Of course if it's rebooted for some reason you'll be logged out and again out of luck.
Windows does this correctly by connecting as the machine boots. So does linux.
Try plugging a USB hard drive into it. It blackscreens... (not quite a bluescreen.. kinda the equivalent though). Maybe it's just my type of drive but both Windows and Linux have no problems with it.
I had safari die on me the other day too - it died, I tried to force kill it - didn't work (it never works.. hardly worth having the option) and couldn't even kill -9 it from the terminal - had to reboot.
Any really secure organisation won't be relying on simple passwords... they'll be using things like securid to make sure that even a keylogger/sniffer can't compromise security. You might be able to get access to a local PC, but there's no way in hell you'd get into the network, short of mugging an admin and stealing their keycard (better be quick though as it'd be revoked as soon as anyone found out it was missing).
The problem is you could pass the law (would take the EU 3 years to work it out anyway) but software/hardware support is very patchy. Pretty much all of the cheaper routers don't support IPV6 at all.. Windows support is extremely hit and miss (for those OS that support it, most of the applications don't..)
You can mandate IPV6 but that would be the effective death of the internet in Europe. Not going to happen.
Nobody is offering that though(at least in this country - max is 512kb and most have 256). Apparently at those speeds voice quality suffers, so they don't offer it.
ADSL2+ will have 1MB+ upload from the start, so it's an improvement.
Also with ADSL2+ you can trade upload for download, so if you wanted a 2MB upload you'd have a slower download (don't know how much slower - it's not equal, and nobody offers it yet anyway).
What we *can* do is write a detector (only takes one of use) and hopefully a remover. Distribute it widely. Make it plain where this malware came from too... the non-technical will soon understand that playing a Sony CD will break their computer - that's all the knowledge they need.

Not really.. demand is about volume.
You might have lots of supply and only one customer, but if you can persuade that customer to pay a 10,000% markup then that's what'll happen.

Nah, add 'em at the end..

Oh puleeze... just because pay through the nose for music doesn't mean someone doing it cheaper is illegal.
AllofMp3 is definately legal. They've passed investigations etc. There's a large writeup on their site explaining all this... this is *old* news.
Probably true.
:)
That also means that nobody under 18 has the legal right to listen to CDs produced by Sony.. which can only be a good thing
There are several digital download services offering WAV and FLAC downloads.. you don't have to stick to MP3.
Of course if you want mass produced crap you can still pay for itunes...
Great. When you repair/replace your PS3 all your games become coasters.

In the USA if you *link* to a site that *might* infringe copyright your site *will* be taken down.
Cease and decist letters are all it takes.
There's a lot more censorship in the USA than in Europe - except there it's corporate driven and americans like to pretend that it doesn't exist.

Never had OSX crash?
Try plugging a USB hard drive into it. It blackscreens... (not quite a bluescreen.. kinda the equivalent though). Maybe it's just my type of drive but both Windows and Linux have no problems with it.

OSX is *far* from perfect.
I think I can speak for all of slashdot when I say:
OUCH!!
Administrators can be quite unstable.. especially if you're the 1000th user to ask "has the network crashed?"
Probably a days worth of used one-time passwords.
Any really secure organisation won't be relying on simple passwords... they'll be using things like securid to make sure that even a keylogger/sniffer can't compromise security.

100% of bank transactions? ROFL!!!!
There are no major banks in this country I know of owned by US banks.
HSBC: Hong-Kong and Shanghai Banking Company. They use HSBC as the name to make it sounds more 'local'
Halifax, part of HBOS, the merger of Halifax and Bank of Scotland (scotland is not part of the US, for those keeping score).
Lloyds TSB: Well there are probably a few lloyds names in the US but they don't own it.
Co-operative: Actually has its HQ a couple of miles down the road from me, and its main call centre is just a mile in the other direction.
Royal Bank of Scotland: Not to be confused with the Bank of Scotland. Based in Scotland. Not Florida.
Nat West: Owned by the Royal Bank of Scotland, above. Still not in Florida.
Norwich Union: They pretty much own Norwich.. as anyone who's ever been there will attest. Nobody owns them.
That's about all the major ones... not one US bank amongst them.

Well you can keep your spam, anyway.
It's a long time since I've seen spam that wasn't US initiated and targeted... losing that would be well over 95% of my spam intake.
Damm, I got as far as your comment before going back and rereading the headline.
Never heard of CISO though.. are you *sure* it's not just a mistype?
