Ah yes, the quaint wire: Your own personal air domain, a veritable Ether network. Copper's getting scarce and we'll never run out of glass, but optical transceivers are still thousands of dollars. It's getting cramped on this little planet!
I'm excited, cause this is going to really shrink down the pile of magazines on my toilet tank! I love how Apple can always class up everything I do in life.
Lets say adobe products are 750 bucks. let's say a few is "2". so you've unrecommended 27 adobe products to family members at a 100% "they would have bought it otherwise" rate. are you that influential?
Lo, there in the thicket rattled the snake of logic. Said he, slithering sleeky, "Be afraid not of the close-mindedness your engineering degree affords your feeble mind on the journey of truth, for you will find it blindly". And then did the engineering student question the snake, "But I have attained logic! And it was good! I have learned to question and follow not blindly but to persevere and challenge the status quo!" So then did the snake rattleth, for pissed was he for the impudence of the engineer. "Your m-value must be negative, young fool, for surely you are sliding down the slippery slope". He added, "Take care to realize soon your inevitable conversion to irrationality!" The engineer plucked an apple from the tree of un-knowledge and smashed it all over his face and rubbed it into his chest, giggling, "Haarrrr I already have dwweeeee". And thus another engineer was turned away from the cold, uncaring logic that had festered within him.
Do the math. What's the most popular porn? Girls as close to 18 as possible. Combine that with user submitted porn. Combine that with typical porn viewing habits, i.e. way too much. Now do some stats. Who's leftover that doesn't have something illegal in their cache? No one who looks at lots of porn, that's for sure. Face it. If someone doesn't like you, they can mess your life up financially, politically, emotionally, really anything they fell like if they are malicious.
Fast forward 10 years to the present. I would gladly pay 30 dollars a month if all the stuff I read online was written by a professional with classical training in english or journalism. This web2.0 junk means we're all crappy authors who, as I am right now doing, stream their consciousness into textarea boxes, never a second glance at the same sentence for proofediting; rushing to the submit button to beat my peers in the subtle effect that I will feel smarter than everyone who posted thereafter.
They're made to be chucked in a dumpster at the airport when they fizz out. This just sounds like a vector to complain about something that's junky cause it's cheap being junky.
And then the headmaster of the school calls kurt up to tell him the guy was fired. That's sorta private, too. So it's three dbags trying to out-dbag each other.
I ran a data center long, long ago. My sales guy knew it wasn't going to pan out and threw me to the wolves. He asked me to start the tour, and then he took a long lunch to miss it.
The guys I gave the tour to seemed very intelligent. They only spent about 60 seconds on our data center. The instant they saw the carpet, their eyebrows were up. When I didn't lie to them that there was no diesel generator on the other side of the (secretly dead) batteries, they did exactly what they should have and stormed out without saying thanks.
Wow, so now I can update my firewall script and leave my connection pegged at 70% use 100% of the time. I don't have to do anything at all with my user applications on the LAN if I use my linux firewall.
And then modify it. Or reply to my post with snarky comments on why something in the example is stupid. Then I'll update mine if they're also smart. (Been doing this for about 8 years with slashdot posts. My firewall keeps getting better|more complicated|worse).
I know it's a different type of walled garden, but I have to wonder out loud. So right now you have things like Boingo and such, pay-for wifi access at airports, hotels, coffee shops.. these services need DNS access to be open regardless of payment status.
So on a trip last month, I was a dbag and tried something out. I set up a little relay at home that accepted TCP embedded in DNS, and tunneled everything over it. And it was fast. Fast enough for ssh and web browsing, but not video web browsing. (And I didn't want to be a dbag^2, so hence I skipped the youtube).
Anyways, with tools like tcp->dns relays, and tools like me walking around, I wonder how long this dirty little secret will work out. Honestly the threat of being identified in a busy airport with a laptop or coffee shop as a wifi stealer was leaving me in my comfort zone the whole time. Especially with my spoofed mac address identifying my Mac as a Dell.
Access control is the entire necessary sublayer to everything interesting. How's facebook not a walled garden? I can't even email my buddies in there, since I refuse to reopen my old account.
That leaves about 70,000 people who think it's necessary. Probably about as many people who still read slashdot, even after the noisy posts by people who don't understand geek culture.
i use an x10 wireless control module, an rs232 firecracker, and a few lamp modules to control my non-drug-related plant lights to extend their photoperiod (keeps them from going dormant through the long-night new england winters). ubuntu packages the bottlerocket kit as the 'br' binary, and it works pretty well. 10 bucks per outlet to control something like 256 devices. the latency is crap. if i could control two outlets simultaneously, i could make my cool traffic light work. instead, i must suffer through learning how to program my little pic 16f690 to do this. it's way too much overhead to do something so stupid/useless.
i dont need ssh... for some reason inetd was installed with a call to bash, running as root. i can just telnet right in. it actually saves me a ton of time, since lately i can't even seem to remember what my password is.
Apple doesn't support IPv6 out of the box, entirely. They support IPv6 on the LAN, and you can do 6to4 tunnels to the Internet with them, but you cannot do native IPv6 with any of their current products right now.
Dlink and Linksys both have the same capabilities in most of their current consumer grade routers as the Apple. Unfortunately, half of them do not actually have either the ability to disable it, or worse, an IPv6 firewall.
The replacement firmware packs for those routers are roughly as capable, as well.
For a real geek, the best bet is m0n0wall or linux. Those will do 6to4, native, and tunnel broker endpoints. They have a real IPv6 firewall. FreeBSD also does the trick, but I can't verify to what extent it is feature complete.

this is what anycast routing was invented for. the root servers use it, why not secondaries?
The interviewer got angry at the interviewee and hung up on them. Way to be professional.

maybe we just translated the way we treat each other online into how we treat a faceless phone call.
He's an intense guy. You can flip through the sixxs forums to get a feel for how true the parent's claim is.

this guys makes http://www.stltoday.com/blogzone/talk-of-the-day/talk-of-the-day/2009/11/whats-the-craziest-thing-youve-ever-eaten-and-did-you-like-it/ and gets annoyed at a vandal, calls up the school the IP came from, kurt brags about the outcome here http://www.stltoday.com/blogzone/the-editors-desk/the-editors-desk/2009/11/post-a-vulgar-comment-while-youre-at-work-lose-your-job/ but backpedals later on here http://twitter.com/kgreenbaum and I have to say, the netadmin at the school is just as much a jerk for outing the user. He had more control than this Kurt guy did.
And then the headmaster of the school calls kurt up to tell him the guy was fired. That's sorta private, too. So it's three dbags trying to out-dbag each other.
I'll give the top 1000 folks on slashdot who eat bread a nickel never to eat it again.
i'm glad your comment loaded first. *looks below briefly* *clicks the tab X*

If I was making 2.2 million dollars a year salary I would probably say exactly what my bosses wanted to hear, too.

so basically i think it's junk right now.
It's because of all those stories stinking it up in between the pages of win.
i dont need ssh... for some reason inetd was installed with a call to bash, running as root. i can just telnet right in. it actually saves me a ton of time, since lately i can't even seem to remember what my password is.
