  1. Re:NAT on Asia Runs Out of IPv4 Addresses · · Score: 1

    It would be helpful if you look at wikipedia, at least.

    XP has a broken SSL stack, but Firefox carries it's own.

    Synthetic lubricant in a electric car would be very rarely changed. Concrete roads can have high-viscosity resin channels in them, making them self-repairing, not to mention that they are much lower maintenance by default.

    Actually, biopolymers are plenty cheap, as well.

    Your issue is not with electronics per se, but poorly implemented solutions.

    Check user agent, and tell XP users to use firefox. If they don't like it - they can take a hike.

    SIP handles NAT fine. FTP is hardly used, and has workarounds. All in all, NAT is a descent stopgap, better than most used in the IT industry in years past.

    Why does the GPP assume CG-NAT won't support UPnP?

    Well, they'll have to set up a VPN for those web apps, if they insist on hiring idiots.

    Multiple virtual subnets, network boot? I'm talking out of my ass here.

    I can listen to goddamn near anything since I was 13, and never judged anyone on their musical tastes.

  12. Re:TFA is way off the mark on America's Tech Decline: a Reading Guide · · Score: 1

    With overzealous parents, expecting their children to live the lives of saints, with much study, toil, and work, and no sins, where the hell do you expect them to blow off steam? I'm not saying that college is the best place, but somebody should designate such a place, probably in high school, when you really have a lot of steam.

  13. Re:Want to see the future - look at education on America's Tech Decline: a Reading Guide · · Score: 1

    First science goes, and then the arts. Many here hate rap, but objectively speaking it is an art, and it isn't what it used to be - bling and bitches got in 5 years ago, I think. Before that, it was the music of the bitter, rebel, wounded, angry, those who wanted to get out of whatever trench they are in, and live the life they wanted, without getting trampled on. Though the stars of the old industry had such a hard time, most see it as a raging idiot who somehow got to a microphone. And it has degenerated with the rest of American culture to megalomania and conformism.

    Panel per room ought to do the trick.

    Terminate the fiber electrically at the wall socket, and run a short copper run to the PC.

    Sounds like a multi-drop bus - it won't be fast, but Ethernet will handle it. Though it would have been nice to run token ring over it, or something - any Linux driver I'm forgetting, guys?

  17. Re:Group Emails on What Is the Best Way To Build a Virtual Team? · · Score: 1

    Apache Wave could replace anything and everything mentioned in this thread, except maybe desktop sharing. Now, if only there some nice clients. Native, portable, say Qt based.

  18. Re:Keeping in touch plenty! on What Is the Best Way To Build a Virtual Team? · · Score: 1

    I think the issue here is that Indian work culture is predisposed to close persona contact.

  19. Re:Translating existing code; dynamic typing on Tcl Announces NaTcl: Native Client Tcl · · Score: 1

    There are limits, yes - but nothing some brute forcing with a genetic algorithm can't fix, reasonably. The issue with C++ is that it has a weak type system, more specifically, weak pointer types, that make it impossible to formally reason about it's execution, in a reasonable manner. Now, if you work in C++/CLI, writing a compiler to JavaScript would be a peace of cake.

  20. Re:Going backwards some more... on Tcl Announces NaTcl: Native Client Tcl · · Score: 1

    I think the GPP meant some sort of language and platform independent bytecode and VM, like parrot, and then, if they so wish, every webstie could have their own language - it runs in the same vm. Though the way things are going, a defined JS subset might just do the trick.

  21. Re:Why was TCL originally chosen for HTML? on Tcl Announces NaTcl: Native Client Tcl · · Score: 1

    Ioke and forth might be of interest to you, then. But please respect the wolf in sheeps clothes (replace with lisp and C where appropriate), because no other language like it exists on the mass market - don't look at the shackles called DOM. Try a nicer runtime env - like Qt bindings, or Node.js.

    Actually, lowering thermal noise would increase stability at lower voltages, enabling more overclocking.

  23. Re:1998 just called... on KDE's New Projects Take On Portable Devices · · Score: 1

    I've been looking to set up an old xp laptop with arch, but I hear it takes some tweaking, and I'm worried how much it will take. I'm not afraid of following a how to, or reading a man page, but experimenting is something I'd rather do in a VM, also, I've got 4/40 GB HDD, so booting from and using NTFS is a big plus, but only puppy linux seems to do it.

    I think Ada needs a refresh on the OO spec - they might be needed.
