How does this apply to open source products? What If a company decides to export open source software as part of their product? Will this one check apply to all instances of export for a given product?
Please, explain more, as I have never dealt with export controls before, but it's EXTREMELY interesting..
No more of a longshot then the situation that is currently on I2. It CAN be done if you setup the same environment, but using IPv4. The I2 is providing NOTHING magical here. Raw speed of transmition has nothing to do with 'The next generation Internet'. The same technologies that they have implemented on the hardware side to PROVIDE those transmition speeds can just as easily link up on the regular old net using IPv4.
When it does come, all heck will break loose. Luckily for them, it's going to take YEARS before that kind of bandwidth is available to the end user. Look how long it took to just get 1.5 megabit at an affordable price via cable modems. People where streaming music since the 80's, and it's taken over 10 yearfs to become practical. I see it as another 10 before movies are as well.
I suggest you look into the I2 before casting that judgement. If your judging by cost, it's friggen incredible. 20 Gigabit uplinks to most of the POPs.
I'm also curiouse as to what kind of speed Europeans are getting out of their cable service?
It's really to bad the MBONE never really caught on. This wouldn't be the case, becouse it's only transmitted on ONE stream, hence, there is never 20,000 copies, just one being blasted to everyone.
"That 270-megabit stream represents something important to the broadcast industry in the sense it's what they use as the native feed that they process," said Richardson.
270 Megabits? Shesh.. T1 = 1.5 Meg, to give people a reference point.
This can be done on the regular internet now, so what if someone did it using IPv6 instead of IPv4?
A hurricane can take out communications for an entire section of the country. An A Bomb can take out a city. You guess which one can take out communications wide scale..;-P
Well, he was linking to them, helping them locate them, and hence, assisting in the crime.. If the school KNEW what you where doing and allowed it, then yes, they would. He knew full well what those links where..
This report is WAY out of taken WAY out of context. I happened to watch the press conference on CSPAN last night. No one beside's the UK issued ANY WARNINGS about travel to other contries.
Overall, I think that their research is flawed and based on poorly used factors, but the press should at least report it as it was presented..
The italy thing was a reporter taking a question by another reporter and mangling it.
As much as I like the IDEA of it, you have to look at the side affects. Do we really want to strain the world by allowing half of the population to double it's life expectency?
One of the limiters to how many children people HAVE is how long they live. Suddenly, everyone lives twice as long, and has twice the number of kids?
We could modify the dictionary to point humans to the definition of lemmings..
With everything that researches are doing, and the RATE at which things are progressing, how old do people think we're going to get, for people currently in their 20's? I have to really sit back, but do I really, REALLY want to live to be 100? 200? 250?
Well, it's off topic, but that is the case right now. Slack has ALWAYS been brandy spakin new for their new/beta releases, but it's NOT kept up, and there is NO SIMPLE way to maintain packages without doing it manually. While I despise people being RELIANT on RPM's or.deb's, they DO serve a purpose.
I'm not going to rely on a distro that I've had a major issue with in the past. I'll probrably never use Slack again.
But it's NOT that it is Red Hat specific, it happens to be compiled to work well with a certain library. That isn't RedHat purposly TRYING to make an incompatibility, as seemed to be the concern of several people.
And as for the 'car' reference, it just doesn't fit in this equation. Something like glibc is by an external entity, and not RedHat itself. You can hardly say RedHat was/is trying to locking users in by making something RedHat only..
But I'm curiouse.. They're basically trimming 1/3rd of the company. That makes little sense to me, and would seem to make the company ripe for the pickings by someone else. Is this going to end up being a digital situation where they trimtrimtrim, almost as if they WANT to be bought?

I2 runs IPv6.
For Cable internet access? Wow. We get anywhere from 1.5 to 8 MEGABit downstream, 400-800 K upstream.

None of the countries HAVE a full blown advisory against travel. READ before you point.. ;-P
Communications lines are fairly sturdy. Your thinking of an 'E' bomb.

Well, their stock is up 2 points, so I'm guessing it's OK.. ;-P

Yet another toy that they will probrably end up throwing into Office at some point, at least the buisness edition..
Probrably the same place that the CNet report got it's country names.. Ehter and speculation.. ;-P

Nope. They'd throw more and more new stuff at it, hence, never reaching perfection.. ;-P

6.2? They didn't do some new math to turn 4.0 into 6.2, did they?
Ahh, I did not get that out of the release..
