If you don't have children, you might not remember getting it; and therefore, might not know what it is.
If you applied to a university in the US, you might have been required to check an MMR box on a health form.
Regardless of all else, a few years back, there was an outbreak of one of the M's at a US university (mid-west?), despite that all involved had been vaccinated. There was talk of a new "super-M", or a "bad batch" of vaccine.
If you are a parent, and you don't know what MMR is, you shouldn't be a parent.
Some of the captions are in need of being rewritten into a reasonable form even in German, especially older ones that are either out of date or hilariously biased. The worst are probably those that were apparently entered during World War II and never updated.
The news is important because IPv4 addresses (e.g. 123.23.56.98), which are assigned to your computer periodically, are running out. IPv6 addressing (e.g. 2ffe:1800:3525:3:200:f8ff:fe21:67cf) was invented as a longer and more secure replacement.
Look! IPv4 addresses just have numbers and dots. IPv6 addresses have numbers AND letters . . . and colons (TWO stacked dots)!
No question, which one is better, and tastes better, and lasts longer, and is less filling.
I'd like the IPv6 prefix dead:beef, please and thank, you.
My dad worked at an RCA location in scenic Gibbsboro, New Jersey in the 70's. They made television transmitter antennas there, and decided to put up a chain link fence around the place. One weekend, the fence was stolen.
Yes, ladies and gentlemen, someone stole a security fence.
Tony Soprano bought his kids Nikes with that. Except, in my neck of the woods, the family was called "Forte."
What an idea! Instead of reading "This is legal tender valid for all debts, public and private," or "In God we trust," read "Taco Cabana rocks" or "Get a Dell."
It might even put a smile on George Washington's face, if there was a plug for Viagra underneath his picture.
Slashdot Mirror
Canadian Groups Call For Massive Net Regulation
. . . and, from the posts from the Canadian folks here:
Canadians, on the other hand, call for massive re-regulation, of Canadian Groups.
Re-regulation, with extreme prejudice.
Michael Moore argued that Canadians are more armed to the teeth than US Americans, but are not nearly as trigger happy.
I now think that the Canadians have been wisely conserving their ammunition, for times of ideas like Internet Cultural taxes.
If you're young enough not to have ever read such a message, don't worry about it.
So y'all quit your yapping.
Or does free government broadband smell and taste like free government cheese?
Ick.
During The Simpson's movie, it showed Bart's junk while he was skateboarding. Does this mean the movie depicts Child Porn?
. . . well, it probably meant that poor Bart got spammed half to death by the Penis Enlargement Brigade.
I have never saw one guaranteeing a "substantial growth" of my TLD.
Although, comparing penis size, to TLD size, does seem somewhat appropriate.
If you are a parent, you will know what MMR is.

Dosing him with multiple ones really knocks 'em down for a week or more until they return to normal.
. . . or they would have vaccinated me more often.
. . . Or maybe they did, and I still haven't returned to normal.
Yes, that's it.
. . . I see this guy in an evil Nazi uniform, speaking with a John Cleese Nazi accent:
"Papers pleaze!"
(Frighteningly long pause)
"Zeeze papers are in order!"
"You may now place your call!"

If one of these pops up, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Killer_joke, we will need to be very careful about the translation!
Each translator should only be exposed to two words, each.
. . . it just fades away.
I am a pacifist but i love military tech. Is that sick?
There are those who would argue, that military tech guarantees peace.
Of course, if your game has wackos instead of rational players, all bets are off.
Even when the Cold War started to heat up, the US and the USSR were wise enough to keep their fingers off the buttons.
I am not so sure if the Next Generation Nuclear Players will have this same wisdom.
For better coverage of the snap, how about live footage from the center's cup-cam?
But seriously, too many cameras on the field, would mean that too many folks would see too much nastiness.
It might lead to too many post-games disputes . . . or worse, to, um, serious altercations between supposing fans after a very nasty hit.
But 89% of the houses in Iceland are heated with geothermal energy (http://iceland.ednet.ns.ca/schedule.htm).
Can't Hawaiians use geothermal energy to at least heat their houses . . . um, in Hawaii . . .
Wait, let me get back to ya on that one . . .
How about wave power?
Please don't tell me that the opening credits for "Hawaii Five-O" were just special effects.
Is Hawaii really just beach-break? It was filmed in Bali!?!
and even feeling at home in the body of someone of the opposite sex.
After reading the article they were just simultaneously poking people with sticks...
Hmmm . . . I think there might be joke in there somewhere, but I seem to be a little slow tonight.
Or maybe I'm just not knowledgeable about the latest Fetish du Jour . . .

Stuff on mainstream media has to pass through an editorial board. So potentially "criminal" reports get stopped there.
The board will know to not report something like, "the Grand Hoo-haw of our country is a stupid jerk."
Because the Grand Hoo-haw will take offense, and toss the whole staff in jail.
Bloggers, well, they just blog whatever they want. That's why they are sometimes much more interesting and insightful than mainstream stuff.
If it's there, and you can see it . . . it's real.
If you can see it, but it's not there . . . it's virtual.
If you can't see it, and it's not there . . . it's gone.
So why don't we just artificially mutate the human race, to have have gills, so that we can all just live in the ocean?
And eat coral and seaweed, and stuff like that.
If we lived in the ocean, we might more enjoy eating stuff that grows there . . . like each other!

With the US auto industry going down the shitter, some /8s could be reassigned real soon.
Viva IPv4!
You mean, they are going to be ".gov" domains, real soon, at your expense.
. . . when you see IPv6.
Until your ISP starts offering it, don't worry about it.
Everything that is worth buying has been IPv6 compliant for years.
The only thing that is missing for IPv6, is well, how about an IPv6 net, to the end user.
. . . fed on a diet of nicotine and alcohol, behaved in a way described by Dr. Akterin as "ladish", and taunted her with "tits out for the mice!"
Good grades on your A levels? Who cares.
On the other hand, do you really want a "nation of chemistry students," to misquote Napoleon?
A Chem-Nerd-ocracy?
May God have mercy on us all.
