You have *no idea* the size of IPv6. To paraphrase Douglas Adams: "if you think you know how big space is, then you don't know how big it is."
128 bits is HUGE. It's big enough that we can't reasonably brute force search it. (Source: Applied Cryptography). nmap-v6 on the entire IPv6 Internet would never finish.
Get over it. Address scarcity is over in IPv6. We simply can't breed that many humans. We could assign 1 *billion*/64s to each person on this planet, and not run out. We could conceivability connect billions of parallel universes with IPv6. We can independently address every atom of this universe. And have some left over!
I admit, the address limit is finite, but you won't see it. Your kids won't see it. Their kids won't see it. Bet you a dollar. If I lose, you can collect from my great-great-grandchildren.
> By the way, does anybody else think "the ability to switch to a NONE cipher post authentication" is pretty dodgy?
Well, there's a perfectly reasonable explanation why you'd want to do this. Some transmission mediums restrict the use of cryptography. I good example of this is amateur radio. I'd love to use ssh to authenticate to my home server over a radio link (at 2kW!), but without this patch, it's illegal.
Sometimes there's no reason to conceal the content of your communication, but you will want to preserve strong authentication and integrity.
Lots of people have pointed out section 7 of the GPL, and lots of people have pointed out that Microsoft and Novell have specifically not licensed the patents, but instead simply decided not to sue each other over them.
Couldn't one sucessfully argue that the ability to sue is the only method of enforcing patent rights? And that by agreeing not to sue, Microsoft has de facto licensed it's patent patent rights to Novell and visa versa?
If that is the case, then Novell must either license the patent rights from Microsoft to everyone on a royality-free basis, or it must terminate it's (now licensing) agreement with Microsoft. And if Microsoft distributes any GPL'ed code, that it must also license Novell's rights?
This is basically a 30k bond. If you don't want to pay an insurance company, you could self insure.
This would get you out of the insurance company trap. However your bank (if you have a loan) would require insurance above the state minimum, but if you've got a car loan, what are you doing with 30k in cash for a self-insurance bond?
Isn't this how the Internet got started? A bunch of contracts from DARPA (now ARPA) to spend a bunch of money without a real clear ROI (return on investment).
I like it. There's some bureaucracy, but not in the actual design, construction or testing elements. The government wants the paper to prove it's doing a good job, but with private grants at least there's a point where the paper-for-paper-sake ends.

This is a device driver for the 3Com Etherlink 3c501.
Do not purchase this card, even as a joke. It's performance is horrible,
and it breaks in many ways. ...
* Some documentation is available from 3Com. Due to the boards age

Ahh, the good ole days. 3C501s in everything, with a 3C503 in your 'big' boxes.
Temperature is strange when you get into a significant vaccumm enviroment. Heat is the motion of molecules; but to measure temperature, you need to physically sense the molecules bouncing of your temperature probe.
Because space has so few molecules per unit volume, you can't measure temperature very well with that method.
Also, in space the vaccumm acts as an insulator, because there's so very few impacts of what's left of an atmosphere on your cooling surfaces.
I don't watch commercials that I don't find interesting. I will watch, and sometimes playback commercials I found entertaining. That's what TiVo allows me to do.
Have you seen commercials from the 50's and 60's? Can you honestly say they're as interesting as today's commercials? Commercials just need to be interesting enough for me to watch, that's all.
For instance, I'll watch the 1st TV trailer for some movie I'm interested in (LoTR), but almost never watch it again.
"The "fair use" exception permits copying and use
of a copyrighted work "for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting,
teaching . . . , scholarship, or research" under certain circumstances. (17 U.S.C., 107.)
It "offers a means of balancing the exclusive rights of a copyright holder with the
public's interest in dissemination of information affecting areas of universal concern,
such as art, science and industry. Put more graphically, the doctrine distinguishes
between 'a true scholar and a chiseler who infringes a work for personal profit.' "
(Wainwright Sec. v. Wall Street Transcript Corp. (1977) 558 F.2d 91, 94.)
. . . the statutory prohibition on disclosures of trade secrets is of infinite
duration rather than "for limited Times." While the limited period of copyright protection
authorized by the United States Constitution ensures that copyrighted material will
eventually pass into the public domain, thereby serving the public interest by increasing
its availability to the general public, the UTSA bars disclosure of a trade secret for a
potentially infinite period of time, thereby ensuring that the trade secret will never be
disclosed to the general public."
I would think that you can use this citation to argue that copyrights, while supposed to be limited in scope, are now becoming de facto limitless, and thus are not 'for limited times'.
Take a look at a recent Supreme Court ruling regarding California's open primary. It states that people have the right of association. That is to say, that groups, in this case political parties, have the right to exclude people from participating in that group's processes if they are not part of the group. Thus open primaries are not legal.
The court, quite clearly, said that the political party had the right of association based on the first amendment.
Another point I'd like to make is that MAPS is a voluntary system. People make the decision to communicate with a third party based on information provided by MAPS. Note that the recieving party refuses the communication, not MAPS. It's the decision of the parties in the attempted communication if to continue that communcation. You can't sue my wife for me hanging up on you, even if she told me what you did last summer. It was my decision, under advisement.
If I decide not to accept communication from someone, that is the right of association, and there's federal case law to support that.

Used to do this all the time for the farmers that I did taxes for. They thought I was helping them cheat the government; but it's perfectly legal.
California provides for self-insurance.
