If you you're saying "Who gives a fuck" perhaps you shouldn't be reading slashdot, because its rather obvious that a large portion of slashdots readership is VERY interested in IPv6.
Not only that, IPv6 is a standard feature in Linux, the BSD's, MacOSX, Windows XP, Cisco, etc.
It IS the future of the internet, whether you fucking like it or not. So accept it.
My laptop and my cousins laptop both have gigabit ethernet in it as standard. We connected them together with some twisted pair (you will need a crossover cable) and we got 1000BaseT.
Mmmm, gigabit......
I am sure you can get 2 gigabit ethernet nics at a decent price, get some cat5e or cat6 or whatever it is you need (gigabit uses all 8 wires; 4 pairs, not just 2 pairs like 10mbit and 100mbit) and you are set.
Its compatible with OSX, Windows, and Linux, has a 5gb, 10gb, or 20gb hdd (i am sure you can chuck a larger one in), runs for 10 hours straight, and isn't crippled in any way!
You should have done your research before buying a crippled and limited piece of hardware.
I lost 40gigabytes (of mostly irreplaceable!) data on a 40gb UFS filesystem.
It seems I am SOL.
I have searched and searched and SEARCHED high and low on google and other search engines. There appears to be no UFS undelete tool. extfs undelete tools exist, but nothing for UFS.:(
It was actually a FreeBSD 4.5 FFS filesystem to be exact, using soft updates. I unmounted the filesystem within seconds of realising it was gone. (and no, i didn't do rm -rf, it was a bad mistake of find and --delete)
Its been mentioned here a few times in the last several weeks (like that poll, etc), and it has ALWAYS been mispelt!
I even have some american sci-fi shows and stuff here on dvd (i'm australian) and even on THERE they mispronounce Antarctica, saying it as "Antartica" just as they spell it.
WTF IS WITH THIS?!
Are americans so brain dead they ALWAYS have to mispell it, and pronounce it the mispelt way too?
Have you considered using FreeBSD Traffic Shaping? ("man ipfw").
here is a story to a problem that sounds identical to yours. A hosting company (using a virtual host) has a customer who uses exessive bandwidth, and they wish to throttle it. After trying mod_throttle, they went with a better solution.
If your not using FreeBSD, i am very suprised. Perhaps you should look into it.
I just bought my G4 Titanium PowerBook less then a week ago. I paid $5000 for it (Australian Dollars). And thats with the Student Discount, else it would have been close to $6000! Thats a SHITLOAD of money.
Now a week later, OSX 10.2 is announced (i have been waiting for this for ages), and they want me to pay another $129USD for it? (About $260AUD).
Highway robbery!
How about.... NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Apple is becoming like M$. Charging for their Win98 to Win98SE 'bug fix'.
Time to find an OSX 10.2 ISO on IRC.... I just spent a shitload of money on apple, i'm not forking out anymore for some time. (Tho i DO want their airport base station. But again, at $699 AUD, i am not forking out till the price goes down)
By the time i posted this comment, about 5 other people have posted about daemon-tools. I should just go back to my programming assignment and quit wasting time on slashdot.:)
It'll mount.iso images, cdrwin, clonecd, and other cd and dvd images. It also emulates various cd copy protection schemes.
Programs/apps/games think its a real CD in a real CD-Rom drive, because it installs a 'virtual SCSI card', and 'virtual SCSI CDrom/DVDrom'. Its as real as it can get. But the driver doesn't talk to actual physical hardware, it just talks to a file on your local or remote filesystem.
So. Use CloneCD (or whatever, but clonecd is definitely best) and image all your kids' CDs onto the linux server. And use daemon tools to mount the cd images over samba.
I hardly use any CDs anymore. I have literally 100s of CloneCD image's on my fileserver, and just mount them using Daemon-Tools over Samba.
In the original SW movies (Ep4-6) when a jedi died, their body disappeared. (Yoda, Obi Wan).
They also turned into a ghost. (Yoda, Obi Wan, Anakin)
How come this didn't happen to Qai gon jinn in episode 1? And they burnt his body at the end of the movie? Apparently this was meant to be made clear in Episode 2, but i didn't see how or where.

Why don't you go fuck off.

Pfft... unbreakable encryption my ass. There is no such thing.
This will be broken and found to be full of holes bigger then swiss cheese before the week is out...
D.
Fuck off. You have no right blocking and filtering traffic for a certain application.
P2P forever!
Lets hope ALL P2P and other applications begin tunneling and encrypting via HTTP to make filtering impossible.
The way it SHOULD BE(tm).
It was meant to be a joke :P

Isn't 802.11 wonderful? :)

Oooohhh its a new topic/icon. First story ever posted under 'software'.
Just use gigabit ethernet.

Wierd :)
I have an airport card in my powerbook, but i use an orinico card in the pcmcia slot because it has 3 to 4x the range!
The airport card barely works around the house.
The orinoco card works down to the street, past the 4 units out the front (we're a house behind 4 units).
Really amazing how much further that little orinoco can go. And i have several orinocos (gold, bronze, white), they all have that range.
Airport sucks.

Except the Titanium PowerBook G4 Keyboard.
That has to be the damn best keyboard on the planet. I just cannot get enough of it!
I wish i could plug this keyboard into my desktop PC at work.
I just can't put up with normal keyboards anymore. Nothing is as nice and sexy as the powerbook keyboard.

Why not just buy an iPod?
Its compatible with OSX, Windows, and Linux, has a 5gb, 10gb, or 20gb hdd (i am sure you can chuck a larger one in), runs for 10 hours straight, and isn't crippled in any way!

I can't seem to get at the stand alone installer :/
I need to get it mirrored on telstra's GameArena so downloading this doesn't affect my 3gb cap.
I hate the state of broadband in Australia, sigh.
D.
How about finding another ISP (and telling them WHY you are changing to someone else too).
D.
I live in Adelaide.
:(
Totality will occur about 5 hours drive from here.
I really wish i could go to see it
sigh..

Don't forget microsoft making everyone remove 'windows' from its name too :)
Agreed!
Fantastic write up!
Mod parent up!
D.
But what about Java3D???
Will OSX ever see it?

Forget about UnionFS, and read about vinum.
It does exactly what you want.
You can create virtual disks that span several hdd's, and create one huge filesystem.

How about Saxifrage? It can be abbreviated to 'Sax'.
For those who don't know, its from the terraforming scientist in KSR's Red/Green/Blue mars series.
I've seen the nick Saxifrage registered on some webboards (like space.com's discussion board), but he hasn't been posting lately.
I just think the name is awesome.

Ahhh crap.

There is a program called Daemon Tools.
.iso images, cdrwin, clonecd, and other cd and dvd images. It also emulates various cd copy protection schemes.
It runs on Win95/98/ME, and NT4/W2K/XP.
It'll mount
