  1. Re:IPv6 Mess on If You Think You Can Ignore IPv6, Think Again · · Score: 0

    Not so fast:

    http://cr.yp.to/djbdns/ipv6mess.html

    WHAT?

    How on earth IPv6 does not contain the whole IPv4? It HAS to be that the whole INTERNET is a subnet of IPv6.

    Do you have an IPv6 connection? You talk to everyone. You only have old IPv4 connection? You only talk to the subnet (and lots of proxies will be available to relay your packets to the IPv6 people).

  2. Re:ER... Why? on Which Linux For Non-Techie Windows Users? · · Score: 0

    Linux Desktop missed the biggest opportunity to seize on MS's blunder with Vista, missed opportunity in that Win7 will last another 15+ years sitting on Businesses/home users computers. Sorry I am more of a realist than an hopeful opportunist.

    Missed what, exactly? There is no opportunity to miss if it is impossible to buy a laptop without paying the "Microsoft TAX".

    Hardly no-one wanted Windows Vista, yet people were forced to buy it with every single new computer.

  8. Re:"I'm running XP with 4G of RAM" on How To Diagnose a Suddenly Slow Windows Computer? · · Score: 0

  9. "I'm running XP with 4G of RAM" on How To Diagnose a Suddenly Slow Windows Computer? · · Score: 0, Offtopic

  10. developing countries... on Universities Patenting More Student Ideas · · Score: 1

    from TFA: "designed a water bottle that could be filled with sand and reused as a brick to build housing in developing countries". if no-one would use a bottle as brick here.. why should "developing countries" want them? you shouldn't offer what you don't want for yourself. most of all, Developing countries can do by themselves, they didn't ask for anything!
