I doubt the police would go for a prosecution just based on a facebook login. It will give them a prime suspect though - which will turn up other evidence, as in this case.
I'm not sure that's true. For some segment of society, maybe.. but for others less so.
One of my earliest memories is of when a teacher was trying to tell me the alphabet and me demanding to know *why* B follows A and C follows B. I got 2 weeks of detention for that.. learned early that you don't ask questions in school, you just give them the correct answer and move on (one of my other lessons was - if you discover that the times tables can be done by adding numbers together, on no account let your teacher know. Another two weeks of detention for working something out rather than rote learning it).
I still react when someone states something without backing it up with evidence. I *want* to think for myself.
Well.. it would except we're giving it out in huge blocks.
ipv6 has 128 bits, but for RA to work your home router has to have a/64 even if you only have one machine.. so that's half of them gone.. ISPs are supposed to allocate you a/48 (mine does) again, if you only have one machine that's wasteful.
The top couple of bits are used for address type, so you're down to 46 bits of actual information. Still a lot, but nowhere near the 'atoms in the universe' idea.
I'm with you on house (unless you're a geek you don't need more than one IP) but community? That would be messy. It'll happen - carrier grade NAT will happen long before ipv6 (and is happening already, on mobile networks).. but it'll still be messy.
How the hell did you get from 'ipv4 is hard to use' to everyone using gmail? That's quite a logical leap. And ipv6 won't change that one bit.
I can log into my computer at home. Any of them, in fact, as I have 16 IPs.. but then I have a half decent ISP. If it matters that much to you get one of those don't complain that for $5 a month your ISP uses dynamic IPs and doesn't like you running servers. The situation will be *exactly* the same with ipv6, by the way, if cheap ISPs ever move to it (and if they do, they'll be the last).
btw. sixxs *global* traffic averages less than 100Mbps. There's nothing travelling over ipv6... moving now makes no sense.
Some time towards the end of 2011 there will be a "sky falling" moment similar to what we saw at Y2K when ISPs realise they are basically screwed and are going to have to do an expensive rush-job of deploying IPv6 over their networks in just a few short months.
Not 2011.
The problem with the 'exhaustion counters' is they're designed to push an agenda rather than present accurate results. They don't represent the real depletion rate at all.
Looking at an old blog post about a year ago the counter was at 736 days. Today it's not at 371 days, or anything close... it's at 721 days. In a whole year we've lost 15 'days' of internet. Extrapolating that out (hey, if they can be hopelessly innacurate so can I) we'll run out sometime in 2057.
Now the truth is somewhere in the middle, but there are no even halfway accurate estimates of that date.
Yeah like that's gonna work. If you're merging networks the last thing you want is to have hacks like 6to4 in the middle. That's as silly as saying that if two ipv4 networks clash just use NAT.
In such a case the ipv6 network would be switched to ipv4.
Newspapers are supposed to be written by professional journalists with professional standards. The articles those journalists write are then supposed to be edited by editors with years, if not decades, of experience.
How's that mythical land you're inhabiting?
Professional journalists are just better at googling.
CFLs have a warm-up time. Turn it on to read your paper, and you have to wait 5 minutes before you can see the writing
1990 called.. it wants its CFLs back. Have you *really* actually used them or are you just making stuff up?
I hear that on Slashdot a lot, and it's bunk. I've had the whole house on CFLs for years now and they light *instantly*. The only time I ever had one that needed to 'warm up' was one of the original Philips ones years ago.
So you've spent 5 times as much for a bulb than doesn't last any longer
CFLs are now the same price (and in some cases cheaper) than incandescents, unless you count the crappy bargain bucket ones that used to last about 3 days. I've still got a bunch I was sent free by the power company.. they only blow about once a year so I don't go through them fast enough.
Are you kidding? With 15Mbps being rolled out (already active in some cities) and Wifi being shared bandwidth and not that fast anyway (because it's often backed by DSL links running at 2Mbps or less) 3G stomps all over it.
3G has it beaten on cost too.. £5 a month for my 3G dongle. I'd pay that *per hour* to log into a wifi hotspot.
A car with that kind of mileage is actually saleable in the US? Wow. I get a real world 50-62mpg out of mine, and it's no even one of the new 'green' cars.
Only thing that keeps me on FF is dynamic bookmarks, which I use every day and really don't want to get rid of (I believe there's an adblock for safari and xmarks is supposed to work with it, so they're covered).
TBH I don't see the speedups on snow leopard that some report, even in Safari. It wasn't slow before.. perhaps it swaps less if you don't have much memory or something but all my macs have 4GB.
This is the same apple that you can still find the occasional "Rip, Mix, Burn" advert for - the first is illegal in this country, the third probably so.
That makes the results essentially random. There's no way you can compare a self selecting group of volunteers with the entire internet using population.
Slashdot Mirror
That's not just a gay issue.. just ask any teenager (and quite a few adults)
If it said 'for the iplayer' people would assume it was for the iplayer (a website run by the BBC), not the DS (a console made by nintendo).
For once I agree with slashdot - it's the best they could have done given the stupid naming of the app.

So if enough people type ' penis' as the result, eventually 3 people will identify the captcha as 'penis' and it gets in the list of known words.
Screw the phone.. the cell towers are all made by the chinese anyway (Round here Huewei make most of them).
And the DSL connections, and the routers connecting them to the internet..
Perhaps he's talking about a secret band of mafia cutlery?
Power supplies, computers, phones, etc. All stamped with 'made in china'.
Everything down to the component level is produced there. If they wanted to bug them they could do it at any point during manufacture.
Yes. They have them in cheaper houses in this country.
They're hellishly expensive to run... gas is preferred.
JESUS on a popsicle stick
If *anything* in my house used 10,000 watts I'd personally drag it to the skip.

The emulator author had already obtained permission to distribute the ROM so that isn't the reason.
It's a standard clause in an employment contract that anything produced whilst under that contract is owned by the employer.
Unless Sony's lawyers are utterly stupid there will be a similar clause in the recording contract and this won't go anywhere.
100% of computer users use file sharing software. Windows, Linux and OSX can all share files.
They were volunteers?
That makes the results essentially random. There's no way you can compare a self selecting group of volunteers with the entire internet using population.
