IPv6 DNS is borked in Snow Leopard, unfortunately.
Just curious, but what is the failure happening with IPv6 DNS? I am using IPv6 on my machine and have no issues. If you mean that it tries resolving IPv4 before IPv6, then while it may be incompatible with the spec, it will probably result in less people trying to turn off IPv6 on their machines.
Apple (ha), D-Link, and Linksys hardly cover 100% of purchased routers.
You are certainly right, but it would be nice if some of these router developers got their act together. At this point I have decided not to buy any hardware that does not have either IPv6 support out of the box or a guaranteed firmware upgrade path provided by the manufacturer.
BTW For anyone wondering, your switches are fine, since they operate at Layer-2. The issues are going to be things like routers and bridges.
I'm going to guess that you haven't used DD-WRT, Tomato, or an OpenWRT-based firmware.
OpenWRT itself is more like Debian, the base system to bigger and better things (unless you're a nerd: then it's awesome on its own).
Tell that to the average person. People who aren't technically inclined will generally want to be able to plug in the device and have it perform its magic. Telling them to upgrade their firmware with something non-standard would confirming to them why geeks seem so out of touch. It may not be rocket science to the average/. reader, but to the average person it might well as be.
The company I work for even has started allowing people to use their iOS based systems for work e-mail and calendar. The only catch is that you have allow them to remote wipe the device if it is stolen.
Then again don't you need a Mac to develop for iOS? Though, this approach is probably makes sense for iOS or WP7, but for RIM - aren't the apps in Java?
Flash is not multi threaded so it will only slow down one core...
Is this still true if you have over four flash object in a web page (I have seen too many pages that do this)? Does each flash object use the same instance of the flash plugin, or is there one created for each?
I think what the guys over at "Openleaks" thought is true, and that is the fact Assange has taken so much of the limelight, that many people confuse Assange as Wikeleaks as being the same thing. Whether it helps or hurts I am not sure.
I actually was interested in getting a Wikileaks mug, but all they had is stuff that you had to wear in public.
I suppose this is where having virtual computers is useful, since you would essentially always be logged in, but your session would only be accessible as long as you are connected and could simply switch to which ever terminal you are at.
Couldn't a solution using RFID be used. Basically you have a RFID detector with 1m radius of detection. The detector would poll the card to see if is there and logs you out or locks your session if you leave the zone.
I suppose the other questions to be asking are:
- how much impact did the blizzard have on signal quality?
- how good was that signal quality to start with?
- how many of those calls were reattempts?
- how good is the insulation in the homes in that area?
Why couldn't they just get permission and pay the necessary royalties? Is the Tolkien estate refusing permission or has it simply been assumed they wouldn't grant it?
Whatever you may think of copyright, the way it currently stands there are ways to going about doing things. Sure copyrights are probably lasting too long, but that shouldn't stop you from at least trying to see if permission can be granted.
Great, I wouldn't want to work for you either, since you seem very shorted sighted.
Plenty of people have passive or semi-passive accounts, with maximum privacy in place, and even then it doesn't say much about the people. Sometimes it helps knowing when friends are trying to label you in media that should otherwise be private.
So it's like a luxury tax. The old dead-tree distributors charge 7 cents per copy, while Apple is charging 10-15 times that amount. Thanks for clarifying.:-)
Should Apple be seen in this context as distributor or newspaper stand? Also, isn't the nature of business to ask for an amount and then see how the market reacts and then adjust accordingly? If the print industry doesn't like it, they can either get together and negotiate a better deal or decide that whatever Apple is charging them is actually better than not getting those customers - if that is indeed the case. Sometimes you need to accept that 70% of something is better than 100% of next to nothing.
As to the Android argument, well if the Android market got its act into gear it could actually become more appealing. At the moment it feels a little disorganized.
I would vote for taking Android and forking it. That might sound like a crazy move, but at least they can differentiate themselves. Then again if they did that they would probably want to add some sort of compatibility to take advantage of the Android applications.
The other solution would be like to be to do like HTC: provide both Android and WP7 phones and see what the market wants.
This what you have when you have an over abundance of lawyers, lawyers running companies and failure to innovate.
If you have a company run by lawyers then it is easier for them to understand suing a company to death than actually working with engineers to make a better product.
Actually, a proof against Santa Claus does exist. Just Google for "proof Santa Claus does not exist". Something to do with the required speed to visit all the houses in one night, and air friction at that speed vaporizing the entire reindeer team. All calculated with exquisite precision, obviously.
This is of course is assuming he doesn't use black hole powered reindeer. I like to use a magic eight ball for my precise calculations - it seems to work for weather forecasting just fine.
Slashdot Mirror
Seems no one tried a Fritz!Box 7390 or other current models.
I don't believe it is sold outside of Europe. I suspect the routers tested were those available in the US market.
As to the RouterBoard, mentioned by RichiH, I doubt that consists of an out-of-the-box solution for most people.

And it makes it easier to put in code that detects if it's an oracle repackage and spew out "ORACLE SUCKS" on the text console and in the logs.
So it's not done until Oracle won't run?
Sounds familiar.
Possibly, but I think until you have inserted the Oracle approved contractor it won't boot.
it's that it is inherently easier to do this approach than to deep-dive perhaps for days to find The Answer(tm).
"42". HA! Got it first!
But what was the question?

It appears to depend on which store you choose. The Euro store has the mug, but the Canadian store doesn't.

Um...Jobs is the very reason you are using that Unix-under-the-bonnet OS.
Indeed. For anyone wondering check up NeXTStep and OpenStep in the current MacOS X lineage.

Why not have the same RFID? Many companies manage the card list on a central system.

Whatever happened to Dirac? Wasn't it meant to achieve greatness as open, free and high quality video codec?
So do we conclude pure user error or should we be considering a user interface design fault as well?
Good design should aim to reduce avoidable user error.

oh and by the way... Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny? NOT REAL!
If we are going to be scientific about it, then prove to me they don't exist ;)
