This also makes it easy to leak space like crazy. (If you suggest garbage collection, how is that different from the current filesystems where every file must be referenced by a directory?)
I've yet to see one thing worth doing with ACLs which couldn't be set up with user/group permissions instead
A real-world example: I want to create a CVS repository which is accessible by local users Alice, Bob, and Charlie (and no one else). I can't run pserver and I can't create groups. ACLs solve the problem trivially, but I can't think of another way.
Itanium has better floating-point performance than Opteron, although the price/performance is worse. There are no 512-way Opteron systems; maybe NASA likes to write shared-memory parallel applications.

IPv4 cable modem networks still use ARP, and IPv6 cable modem networks will use ND. The authentication is (and should be) done at a lower level.

No. If a router implements neighbor discovery correctly, then privacy extensions will work. If the router doesn't implement ND, then it is really broken.
It's also the fault of the designers for not including strict rules as part of the standard for how frequently the client is allowed to check back
Inevitably the most popular clients are the most poorly-written ones which ignore as much of the spec as possible. Telling them what they should do is useless, because they don't listen.
As an example, consider all the broken BitTorrent implementations out there.

Privacy extensions are implemented in hosts, not in ISPs. If you want it, you implement it.
The solution to this problem is to give every device a real, global IPv6 address and use a firewall to block traffic to devices that shouldn't talk to the outside world.

Blocking a/48 under IPv6 is no harder than blocking a/24 under IPv4.

I'm sure a lot of people will be happy to leech warez, pr0n, MP3s, and movies (the four horsemen of the broadband apocalypse) at 10+ Mbps. But you're right, it has nothing to do with getting work done.
Fedora's neck-breaking speed wouldn't be nearly as big a problem if they made a supported, official, seamless method for upgrading from FC(X) to FC(X+1).
1. Download the FC(X+1) ISOs and burn them. 2. Boot the CD. 3. Choose upgrade instead of install.
The VeriSign/NetSol merger was big news, but apparently the spinoff wasn't. I didn't even know about it until it was mentioned in the rapid DNS update thread.

The answer is simple: When you make a Pentium 4 chipset, you pay $4/unit to Intel. NVIDIA doesn't want to pay the licensing fee.
You forget that Dell and HP are on the Blu-ray side. Looks like over 50% of new PCs will not support HD DVD.
This is Apple we're talking about. It just works.

This was solved years ago: Privacy Extensions for Stateless Address Autoconfiguration in IPv6.
6to4 is simpler and more efficient.
Microsoft wrote a similar rant; hopefully the equipment vendors will get with the program.
To each other, of course. 6to4 sets up the tunnels automatically.

It's actually an FCC regulation.
That would be nice, but ultimately I think it's pointless to turn Fedora into a clone of Debian unstable. Diversity is good.
They already "fixed" this "problem" with the broadcast flag
You'll never see a digital cable PCI card, since it would be almost impossible for a PCI card to meet the OpenCable robustness requirements.
Your best bet is to get a digital cable box with Firewire (your cable company is legally required to provide one) and hook it up to your computer.

A lot of people can get 802.11i with free firmware updates.
Also, WiMax doesn't really compete with 802.11.
