Has there been any chatter that indicates that the ISPs will be implementing ipv6 over ipv4 servers at their borders?
Splitters/Extenders work better on VGA

Goodbye, VGA

Not everything is better digital. Analog is a good format for long cable runs like running a display via CAT-5. I don't like the change to display port. It requires you waste money if you want to change formats from DVI to VGA because the DP->DVI connectors will convert to VGA. So you need a DVI converter AND a VGA converter. At 25 bucks a pop.
DVI and DisplayPort are both more expensive in most situations. The monitors (as mentioned above) do not come with DVI cables.
All in All, I see this as a Loss for the consumer.
The big advantage for DisplayPort is to drive screens that dont even exist yet. Resolutions that DVI cannot handle. But what needs those 1080p+ resolutions yet? Desktop monitors do not. Bigscreens do not. What then is the point?
I get the impression that Comcast does not want to saturate their bandwidth at the border routers. If the caching servers are -inside- their border routers then all the data flows on their internal (and hopefully much faster) network. Are you thinking that Comcast is is concerned about intranet traffic levels too?
The question is whether the movie is on a server outside Comcast's network or on a server Inside Comcast's network. Why can't they act like grown-ups and decide on a division of costs for "co-locating" a movie server inside the comcast network? Netflix does not even offer "Live" content. How much would the hardware and electricity for a file-server cost? The entire library does not have to be on the server either; just the titles in the instant queue for people who subscribe to comcast. The netflix website could start copying it to the cache machine as soon as you put in into your instant queue.
It also makes you wonder if their algorithm depends on the jpeg pass in some way to get their great results. Its better than jpeg as long as you use jpeg first?
These online pharmacies want to get paid right? So if you dont want them doing business in the US, yank or freeze their CC vendor accounts. Can't they do that?
But what if your ISP puts you on a private 32bit address. One which allows you connectivity to their tunnel broker, but does not let you outside. It seems like there will be a transition phase where the IPv4 addresses will be given up for "servers" to use. And the client addresses will have the brokered IPv6 address space. But your only broker would be your ISP.
You are saying "lets go to IPv6", but what you really mean is "lets go to IPv6 by using IPv4 to get there". What happens when they take away the IPv4 and leave you with the ISPs tunnel broker and no native IPv6?
What possible motivation would the ISPs have to switch over to native IPv6 if they can force (and charge) their users for using tunnels. Why am I procrastinating if I dont want to incur the overhead of a tunnel that I dont have to use now?
The ISPs are never going to switch to native IPv6 once everyone is tunnelled. They have too much to lose by doing so.
Maybe, and maybe it will be traffic on netflix some other portal the competes with the ISP in some way or its business partners. The point is there will be a hidden and ever changing set of rules as to how reliable the network is.
If your car starts 3 out of 4 times, its not a car you want to ever use.
So if your priority clients gets to the front of the line for every packet on this over allocated network, then your unpaying sites are going to start timing out. They are defeated. And then the ISP is going to start lying. The ISP is going to claim that there must be something wrong with the "unpaying site" because otherwise they would have to admit that they shoved the money in their pockets instead of buying more bandwidth.
If they actually get it going, get it sustained, and make it better than break-even, do they know how to get the helium out? And who was it who said that the tokamak is the Russian design for how NOT to build a nuclear reactor?

Hours of fun outside and they are cheap as dirt.

Maybe they should use a camera too.
We could come up with a bioweapon carried by a variety of lifeforms which was lethal to humans.
10base2 requires terminators at each end of the coax. 50ohm I believe.
Those Fools! Boy are they going to be sorry, because it just keeps going and going and going!
Say like when a rat population is carrying plague. Then the cats might be kinda useful.
And they worked so hard on it too.

Q, why is it an image?
sheesh.

I dread that is what we will be left with.

sigh, I guess it would blow up in space if it was plutonium.
It kinda makes a difference as to whether or not it will hit the earth or break up first.
Now if its 50 meters of plutonium that would suck.

I didnt know that. Thanks!

Eat Twinkies, Coke and palate-scorching Szechwan food.
So are THOSE recipes in there? I think not!
Note: Honestly, I think we have moved on to Thai and Indian but that may just be regional.
