  4. Re:Kudos on Comcast Begins Native IPv6 Deployment To End Users · · Score: 1

    Rolling out IPv6 could have been considered taking a long term view a decade ago. With IPv4 exhaustion looming, starting the roll-out now is just short of required. Sadly, looking out past the end of the current quarter is considered "long term" nowadays.

    The Sanity Check Branch.

    Composed of 251 adult citizens with college educations (5 from each state, 1 from DC) selected at random for 1 year terms. Each law after presidential signing or Congressional override must be read aloud and provided in writing to the branch. They vote on it in secret. If it does not get 60% of the votes, it dies.

    Do any of you twits realize how annoying incessant Robocalls are?

    That aside, it's a silly prudish notion to think that pornography is any more or less humiliating than any other performance art.

    If the idiot in front of you did not see the red light he ran, the car he cut off, the cyclist he swiped, the pedestrian he ran over, or the lane markings he has been driving on, what makes you think he is going to see a 6cm by 1.5cm finger from a car length away?

  20. Re:... In other news... on Bill Gates Patents 'Virtual Entertainment' · · Score: 1

    There are many people who would be willing to fix it. The problem is that it is in the best interests of the people in a position to fix it not to fix it. And the people with the power to remove those people from office are too busy watching mindless TV shows.
