Private school perhaps? One of the worst things about state schools is they teach facts not critical thinking.
All we learned were dates. 1066 was drummed into our heads. Henry VIII having a number of wives. Something about the Romans and the Vikings.
We didn't do WWII.. it wasn't in the curriculum then (this was 20 years ago though).
Maths was worse - I remember getting a detention for calculating the 12 times table rather than rote learning it. Actually working stuff out was a punishable offence!
Most twitter access isn't via website.. it owes more to MSN I guess than blogs, except it's searchable and you can be friends with someone without them being friends with you back (in that sense it also behaves like RSS as well - I'm following several websites that way).
I'm not sure what makes it so useful.. critical mass plays a huge part - once all your friends are on it to not be on it you're missing out. That was the same thing that made facebook popular before it.
Works if (a) your provider routes 192.88.99.1 (many don't), and (b) the server you get at the other end isn't 3000 miles away..
OK you could live with (b) for experimentation, but it's not ideal. The go6 stuff is better for home networks if you can't get v6 off your provider (ie. 99% of people).
At work we're behind a provider that blocks ipv6 at their border routers. They claim it's insecure, and refuse to remove the block... We just route our ipv6 over the VPN instead (we need it for testing, so it's kinda critical that it works).
You can do some forwarding magic in bind to work around it, but I agree it sucks.
AFAIK the reason is the poor state of implementation - a lot of machines out there have ipv6 enabled but no ipv6 external routing, so their browsers will ask for an AAAA record, try to reach google over ipv6, fail, then go for the A record as a fallback - this can take several seconds.
Of course google aren't truly ipv6 *anyway* because the moment you step outside a few select pages it drops back to ipv4.. and google don't index ipv6 either, so you'll never get an ipv6 result to a search.
Yes there is. Port forwarding works provider you have *one* http server and *one* ssh server and *one* smtp server. It works for home networks.. it's a horrible hack even then.
There's a huge difference in the administrative load, because you don't have to start farting around with allocating new ports because the other one is used, or changing the forward twice a week because two different servers need to be available, and they have clients that can't change the destination ports (real world example).
That says nothing about whether ipv6 is supported on the available firmware.
eg. the Billion Bipac 7402 is listed as ipv6 ready. It does *not* support ipv6 and Billion have given no indication that it ever will. They tested an internal firmware that was never released.
I've no reason to believe any of the other entries are any more useful.
Then all you need to do is ask your provider for an IPv6 range and put some records in your DNS, enable your clients for IPv6, tell your routers that they'll from now on see IPv6 addresses as well
I just parsed the whole sentence and assumed it was supposed to be a joke.
1. Ask your provider for an IPV6 range. lol. The response is likely to be 'IPwha?' 2. Put some records in DNS - if you run your own (good luck with this on 3rd party DNS). 3. Tell your routers about ipv6 - provided they're Ciscos or similar. Otherwise you're out of luck.
You don't need that most of the time (everything on the network segment has an fe80:: address anyway), only to proxy or NAT the outgoing connections. IIRC the ipv6 NAT solutions that exist are basically 1:1 rather than 1:M so they're not equivalent.
If you want to stream the likes of hulu you're going to end up paying more than that - in terms of raw bandwidth cost there's no way they can supply VPN at that price for very long.
deezer seems to be just a link to youtube videos.. it's not got a lot of music on it compared to a dedicated site like spotify. OTOH if you've not got any other choice, it's worth it.
Well... to an extent. There's a move towards streaming services. I can't imagine buying music now that spotify exists - I'm always in reach of an internet connection and a couple of 30 second adverts an hour is a small price to pay. I can see a future where we have ipod/car stero equivalents that don't have storage and merely stream from the cloud.. and it's not really that far off (get the data charges down on 3G and you're basically there). Bands are going to have to go back to making money off playing live, merchandising, etc. the same way they did originally.
Literalists of course stick to a single interpretation of atonement (quite a late one, historically, but fundies rarely care about history). This leads to dichotomies such as in your last paragraph.
But then if you want to have fun with a fundie, there are much more fun ways of winding them up...
You've got more patience than I have.. I can't talk to fundies like that for more than about 10 minutes before I want to cave their face in, and I speak as a (more or less) christian here.
Not sure I'd use the term evangelical either.. there are plenty of those that are reasonable. The fundie minority is just very vocal (and for some reason the silliest ones concentrated in the USA, which luckily I live thousands of miles away from).
In the UK the camera takes a picture just before you cross the line & after. Also they don't go 'live' until the lights have been red for 1.5 seconds, so you don't have the 'I was unable to stop in time' defence (unless like me you'd only passed your test the day before and had shitty reactions). They also record the speed you're travelling, so if you crept over at 5mph for example they'd assume you were in the process of stopping and probably let it pass. If you're doing 40... you're hosed.

That was a year before the Alpha, and about 2 years before NT 3.1 was running native 64bit on it.
That's not 'a long ways off' - and that's just in the consumer space.
btw. ipv6 google workaround..
zone "google.com"
{
type forward;
forward only;
forwarders { 2001:4ca0:0:100:0:53:2:0; };
};

A truly ipv6 aware app shouldn't be parsing the format itself anyway.. it should be calling getaddrinfo with the string as entered.
Otherwise if the format changes in the future we'll have to go through this whole thing again.
Yes there is. Port forwarding works provider you have *one* http server and *one* ssh server and *one* smtp server. It works for home networks.. it's a horrible hack even then.

A switch? lol. Good luck connecting that to your phone line..
You need a router whether you have ipv6 or not, because you need its firewalling capabilities.
That says nothing about whether ipv6 is supported on the available firmware.
eg. the Billion Bipac 7402 is listed as ipv6 ready. It does *not* support ipv6 and Billion have given no indication that it ever will. They tested an internal firmware that was never released.

'small team' generally doesn't go over about 5 people. You simply can't - as a team gets larger it gets less efficient. This is true even for google.

They got rapped on the knuckles by the EU and forced to equalise prices on all the EU stores.
I think they dropped the invites - at least I signed up without one.. just went to their page and selected sign up.

Education should be consumer driven? Are you serious?
If that happened I'd give it about a generation before you had Idiocracy. The average joe doesn't give a shit about science.
Well the do have a point, somewhat.. eg. no amount of breeding of dogs has produced a non-dog (a dog2 if you like).
Evolution is probably true, bit it's not above criticism - nothing is.
Also, if it's a yellow light you should be stopping anyway, not thinking 'I can just slip through before it goes red'.
We had the same problem in the UK - http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/2307983.stm
