You do have a fair point: I should probably consider that a VMWare issue rather than an autoconf issue, but the general v6 approach is to have a single gigantic broadcast domain per "site," instead of learning the lessons we all have in the past 10 years about the benefits of small layer-2 islands connected with layer-3... So the natural way of doing things in v6 will encounter this problem.
Are you sure, I though this would have been link-local? Basically you would break your net into pools and then the computer would tie itself to the link on the local side of the router.
Torvalds wants to produce a decent, *nix-like operating system (or kernel, really), and, for the time being, views the GPL as the best license to work under in pursuit of that goal. If he felt that Linux would be better served via a proprietary, non-Free license, I expect he would advocate a move towards that position.
From what I can tell in many ways Torvalds stays with GPLv2 because it offers a compromise between openess of source code and a license that businesses can tolerate. This compromise is having open source running on otherwise closed software. GPLv3 would not permit this and therefore this would hurt the popularity of Linux, especially in th embedded arena.
RMS has his goals and aspirations, and is also somewhat of extremist in his ideals, IMHO, where compromise is not in the vocabulary. For me a healthy eco-system is about balance and compromise and GPLv2 is offers much of that.

Just to correct myself it should be preferences -> home page.

There is a joke that I once heard before about a US stealth plane flying over France, along these lines:
The French detect a spy plane flying over their territory and on suspecting that it belongs to the US contact them: French: We have an unidentified plane flying over our territory and believe it is yours USA: I don't think so French: Are you sure? USA: Yes French: So you won't mind if we shoot it down USA: Uh um, you had better hold off on that one
Apparently the French Thompson radar are meant to be that good. Not being a military expert I don't really know.
The worst thing of it all is that you have no idea of the transfer magnitude until you get the bill.
This is why phones should have a data transfer indicator that allows you to see how much data was transfered for a given period. If they charge you per KB, then you should know how many Kilobytes are going in and out of the phone.
I think Apple really screwed up here and should probably compensate the guy for this. There should be an options to:
- disable all data transfers
- disable cellular data transfers
- disable wi-fi data transfers
- turn off the antenna
It is for stuff like this that I generally avoid being an early adopter on hardware, unless I really have the need.
You don't need programmers to sort the data. India has enough people with just sufficient English language education to do the sorting and searching, without the need for programming that task.
Not to mention that programmers aren't usually the ones you want for repetitive tasks. This sounds too much luck boring stuff. Ask them to spend two years to write a program that will save one hour and then maybe you're talking;)
The only other chance, if the studios don't jump onto it, is to squeeze out a writer for it quickly and make this the next big thing in computer storage and HD content copying. If it can hold a full HD movie, people who don't care too much about DRM or buying content will be very interested in it. Then, and only then, you can get a standard into the market without the support of the content providers.
Well at that price it could easily become a feature found on east Asian players and then submarine itself as a DVD replacement for computers, if they can sort out the burning issue. The movie companies will find that even if the do dictate the market to a certain extent, they aren't only influence.
Then again, maybe it's stamped "Property of New Zealand Police. Removal prohibited". One never knows.
Or more likely, based on the article: "Not Property of New Zealand Police, we don't even know about it. Removal prohibited by order of New Zealand Police";)
I didn't mind the series, but the singing just started to drive me nuts - anyone who has seen the series will know what I mean. If they keep that out of the film, then I'm happy.
A properly configured dhcpd can specify the location of the local network's timeservers to requesting clients. The client must be configured to request (and make use of) the information as well.
This assumes that the hosts are using dhcp for name look up. BTW Thanks for the info, since I wasn't aware that dhcp could offer this.
There are many instances where lighting is being used when there is no one around to benefit from it. The main example I can think of is office buildings where nobody is working at night or on the weekend, but the lights are still on. Turning the lights off help reduce the glow slightly and also helps the environment too. Better designed street lights would be good too.
This where a zero config version of NTP servers and client would be useful, to allow for the discovery of an NTP server on the local network, unless it already supports multicast discovery.
I am sure that there are many private networks where computers are still connecting to external time servers, when the could easily use a server on the local network.
I'd just be happy if some plugins were written to support ODF in Word Processors such as iWorks. A standalone viewer would be nice too. The more ODF based tools the better.
I am seriously getting confused about what the PS3 is meant to be. So far it seems to be doing its best to be a jack of trades and still fairing worse than a PC for the cost. Options of what it is meant to be:
- Game console
- Blu ray player
- PC (I believe it was suggested at some point)
- TiVo
Now which one is it successful at being at? There is nothing worse than losing focus and at least with a PC you can do whatever you want with it.
Before you start complaining about the US price vs the European prices, always remember to remove the VAT from the European prices. Why can't Europeans bother to remember such a simple thing? List prices in the US do not include tax.
Fair enough, but taking the highest state sales tax and the price of PS3 we top out at $535 USD max. This is still much cheaper than what you get in Europe.
They can really punish him by making him run windows ME.
How about Vista? According to the Apple ads it comes bundled with a security guy to decide what you can and can't do, though I don't know whether to take that at face value;)
I'll switch when they decide to drop region encoding. I can deal with the copy protection to a certain extent, though I am not going to upgrade my TV just to be compatible with the players. For me the deal breaker is region encoding, since I do a fair bit of traveling and not being able to watch the movies I bought in Europe in Canada and vice versa is just a pain. DVD is cracked and available is a suitable form, so I will stay until there is sufficient incentive to switch.
Isn't there some fraud possibility? If the coupons have a limit (2 per person) that you agree to by checking a box or whatever?
This is why a better system would be to have a unique coupon id generated by the web site and not by your local computer.
It should be noted that there is generally no limit on how many times you can use a coupon from a super market newspaper, just how many you can use in one go. So there is nothing stopping you from getting a stack of those newspapers and using the coupons from each paper.
Their system is broken, so they should fix it instead of using the DMCA. The DMCA is often used for broken business plans and that just shows you how bad it is.

Never heard of youOS? http://www.youos.com/ [youos.com] It's a java-based web operating system. And it runs better than the Ajax one.
Nah, that's written in Ajax too, but it just seems to work better and the web browser is from within the 'os'. ajaxWindows just has a better UI.
