Given the power Facebook had in making Canadian copyright didn't get out of hand, has anyone in Australia started a Facebook group to invite all their friends to the cause?
The RIAA lawyers are bottom feeding scum. This is a fair level under the average lawyers, who are usually considered sharks. Once you become a bottom feeding scum there is nothing you will not stoop to.
The RIAA actually makes certain mafias seem very honourable.
With all the stories over various entities trying to screw everyone over fair-use, such as the one over a state claiming copyright over their written laws,, this is a nice change. What I like about creative commons is that it is one way for a content holder to hold on to their 'rights', yet allow the material to be used by the general public. This saves our culture being lost in the cellars of town hall or of those of some other 'IP owner'.
I have seen the presentation, but when I contacted D-Link at the end of last week they told me none of their home routers supported IPv6. Either the planning does not match reality, or tech support and marketing are out of touch?
How good is latency or hops as indicator of distance from peer? The idea is that if it takes 5 hops, as opposed to 10, then the peer taking the least hops to get to is the closest.
Well what do they expect they start to get a larger market share they start to be the target of more blackhats.
True, but at this current point in time the only thing that this anti-viruses application will detect are MS-Windows viruses. On the other given that a Mac could become a carrier for a virus, being infected through connecting to various networks, this probably helps protect networks that the computer connects to.
On a side note, does anyone know if there is decent GUI for Clam AV?
Interesting timing for this now that we've learned that the gunmen in Mumbai used Blackberries to communicate. I'm sure no one violated their rights by eavesdropping on their communications.
I believe this is where a warrant comes into play. You indicate there is a case for eaves dropping and if there is the judge gives you a warrant. Basically what a warrant gives you a sanctioned action for a specific circumstance, so that you aren't using your powers for things that otherwise affect the freedoms of your populous.
Another thing to ask is if they ever shipped it and if they did what the tracking number is. At least this way you can try to work out whether the blame is with Dell or the internal courier service used by the military to get it there (I imagine this how it works). Once you can work out where the computer should be you will know who you be dealing with.
ISP may try to make $5/m per ipv6 so people will still NAT then.
That would be disaster and a good reason for reprimanding them. IPv6 has been designed so that NATs will not be required. NATs are a major pain in networking applications.
MS-Windows XP supports IPv6 firewalling for incoming traffic, but not for outgoing traffic. I assume Windows XP is pretty much the same? The document does mention that third-party firewalls do not yet support IPv6, which is a major issue.
None of my machines run IPv6, to me it's a security risk. None of the "big" operating systems have had a secure IPv6 stack. BSD, Darwin, Windows, VxWorks, and Linux have all had DoS conditions, and one of those bugs had a code execution PoC floating around.
Surely the only thing that is missing from all this is an IPv6 firewall? If you have a firewall in place then IPv6 has no more issues than IPv4. The document you reference pretty much comes to the same conclusion.
I am using ip6fw on my IPv6 gateway machine, and all my Linux and Mac computers all have individual firewalls, though I am not sure what is available for MS-Windows.
Apple didn't spend much at all. They use the KAME stack, which was developed by a consortium of Japanese companies for BSD-family systems. It was started in 1998 and achieved full compliance in 2006. Apple just pulled in the code and merged it. Since it already ran on BSD/OS, FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD and DragonflyBSD, this was not a huge undertaking.
While the OS itself is IPv6 compliant, stuff like the Finder and certain GUI based applications (Network Utility) is still oblivious to IPv6. Although not an Apple product, Samba the last time I tried did not seem to be IPv6 ready - if anyone knows otherwise please correct me. Other than the Finder and Network Utility, are there any other Apple provide applications that are failing IPv6 compatibility?
In reality IPv6 is about infrastructure, so if it is all done right then your average Joe shouldn't see much of an impact. In most cases the average user leaves their setting in automatic mode, so as long as the OS and corresponding application are already IPv6 aware then they won't notice until they need to use a numerical address. If they have a home router, then they may find that they need to buy a new one as the manufacturer is only releasing IPv6 aware firmware for routers manufactured after a certain date.
There are still plenty of issues before everything is working right on both the client and server front. Issues still in place:
- network hardware not IPv6 compliant (the only compliant home router for the moment is the Apple Airport)
- network administrators oblivious to IPv6
- ISPs not preparing for IPv6
- libraries for popular computer programming languages not IPv6 ready. Take Perl libwww for example.
- people saying that no one else is doing anything, so they won't do anything either - the classic sheep mentality
I would like to see stuff like Zeroconf (aka Bonjour, Avahi) become common place on all OSs (this include Windows), or at least if these routers could add the names of computers in their DHCP table (including themselves) in their DNS directory, so typing in numerical IP addresses should not be necessary.
Now that I know Linux joins the ranks of IPv6 compliant OSs, I just need an ISP that supports IPv6. The problem is, in North America at least, is that there are still few to no ISPs providing IPv6 addresses. Instead I have to resort to tunnel providers (some listed here). What we need is a list of major internet service providers in North America and an indication of their IPv6 readiness and what they excuse is for not starting the migration.
In order to get ISPs moving we could each mail the one we use and ask them when the plan to offer IPv6 addresses.
Further proof that he is no JFK - how about instead he challenge us to get to Mars before the decade is out !!!
He may be no JFK, but there was an article (I lost the reference), which indicated that even within NASA there was pessimism as to the whole project. Quite honestly they would probably be better off licensing the designs for the Russian or European space vehicles. What is happening at NASA at the moment is probably down to bad management.
Just remember that just because it originated in Russia does not mean that this was a Russian Government attack (though it could have been known about and ignored by them if it wasn't) - it just happens to have been in Russia - the headline is a little misleading in that sense.
But surely there are just evil dudes and dragons beyond our borders jealous about our freedoms (ignore DRM, unwarranted phone snooping, etc for this argument)? I know for sure that there are ice dragons and Igloo dwellers to the north. To the east there is meant to be an old continent, but I am yet to be convinced of its existence.;)
So- they essentially patented WAP? I think Apple can come up with enough "prior artwork" for this one. It's unfortunate though that companies like this (EMG) are allowed to even exist. When will it end?
Well maybe not WAP, but at least what Firefox has been doing since before 2006. That is taking an unstructured document and then structuring as XML so that it can go through a common renderer. There is probably more than enough prior art here.
First off, because it drives me nuts, it is "couldn't care less". (Cue picking on grammar errors in this post. Maybe I'll drop a couple in intentionally!)
Put this in the same category as people saying "I heart cats" (should be "I love cats") and "write me" (should be "write to me").
Every time apple upgrades Safari, they disable my brilliant adblocker, Pithhelmet, and so I wait for the developer to hack it out again... Maybe I won't upgrade. Maybe my next mac will be running on mixed pc hardware. I'm strongly considering that...

FLAC and ALE (Apple lossless Encoding) are both lossless formats, so you won't lose any audio information on the conversion.
Looking for tools there is:

Just answering my own question, after finding this document:
http://ipv6.niif.hu/m/IPv6firewallsandSecurity_eng

I am using ip6fw on my IPv6 gateway machine, and all my Linux and Mac computers all have individual firewalls, though I am not sure what is available for MS-Windows.
And for the majority of users, for whom ipv6 is at best useless and at worst an annoyance
In what way is it an annoyance?
Apple didn't spend much at all. They use the KAME stack, which was developed by a consortium of Japanese companies for BSD-family systems. It was started in 1998 and achieved full compliance in 2006. Apple just pulled in the code and merged it. Since it already ran on BSD/OS, FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD and DragonflyBSD, this was not a huge undertaking.

Seriously, buy a goddamn graphics card.
And make sure it is not an "intel graphics card", which ends up being not much better than using your CPU - at least in my experience.
Now that I know Linux joins the ranks of IPv6 compliant OSs, I just need an ISP that supports IPv6. The problem is, in North America at least, is that there are still few to no ISPs providing IPv6 addresses. Instead I have to resort to tunnel providers (some listed here).

Just install Firefox with adBlocker.
