    > YOU sir, can burn in Hell.

    Is that, technically, irony? Or just self-parody?

    Anyhow, I think rationality is wasted on companies that use the DMCA to squelch criticism and security research. Now the TOW-22 anti-tank missle, OTOH...

  2. linux port? on Nintendo's iQue Detailed, Pictured · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Ok, it's got non-volatile storage now,
    and a MIPS CPU. If we could get an easy
    homebrew ethernet interface, this would make
    a sweet little router/firewall box.

    Use something like T-mobile with a Sierra
    Wireless 750 PCMCIA card, for $39.99/mo

    Paying an all-you-can eat price really
    demotivates opportunistic 802.11x leeching.

    Hollywood render farms are mostly Linux and

    This is a pet peeve of mine. It's just not true.
    In order for it to be true, reality has to be a
    finite-state machine. There's no conclusive
    evidence of this, and in fact almost all of physics
    assumes the opposite.

    I'm not going to just lay here and take this.
    Hey, if you don't like the affect of English
    spelling history, you can just immigrate to
    some place where they speak Canadian. Your
    allusions of superiority try to make capitol

    in doing so they create a climactic change
    which I find frankly unseasoned.

    I think the poster meant that if you are
    going to waste several years of your life
    being tortured in operant conditioning until
    you are forced to master encoding and
    decoding ideas scratched onto mashed tree
    pulp with a soft rock using an incredibly
    redundant and perversely obscure encoding
    mechanism, then you've got a lot of
    subjective motivation to claim that others

    are somehow inferior to yourself.

    Actually, that won't help. Those prissy IM

    What you really need is an IPv4 implementation
    that makes NAT transparent. Then stuff would

    There was an idiosyncratic fellow who tried
    to push his personal "IPv8" on various open

    IPv6 partisans miss this point, so it's

    Regardless of the adoption or non-adoption of
    IPv6 there will ALWAYS be vast segments of the
    Internet which are only accessible via NAT.
    Therefore, the problems of NAT *must* be
    solved in order to give applications p2p
    connectivity, regardless of the adoption or
    non-adoption of IPv6.

    Case in point: China.

    For "one of the oldest" I read, "one of the

    the evolutionary competition for selection.

    What makes network balkanization evil?
    Unroutability is what. The solution is to
    make Nat 2 nat routable by encapsulation.
    Not a raw tunnel, which leads to address space
    collisions, but a Nat'd tunnel.

    Voila, no IPv6 required.

    It's inevitable.
