Yes, you can subnet your network however you want and I've had some fun playing with exactly this.
The reason they didn't define a 32:32:32:32 split is because: 1 They intended to allow for MAC based autoconfig and a MAC address is 48 bits 2 They actually don't care how you layout your local network.
If you use MAC based autoconfig that still leaves you with 16 bits to play with for subnets and if you use DHCPv6 you can play with the whole range if you like.
You want more addresses, then mod IPV4 from a byte per address element to a word per address element and you have 65535 class A's
That can be a simple software update and it can be done incrementally without having to re-engineer the hardware.
That will give enough breathing room to build IPV7 which can be built into something that does not break the entire system.
Doing that would break just as much equipment as the IPv6 transition since you propose changing the header layout. The source IP is defined as bits 96 - 127 and the destination IP is defined as bits 128 - 159. Anything that changes those would no longer be IPv4 or even remotely compatible with IPv4.
That was before and they have gotten cheaper in the meantime. My last CRT TV didn't even last 5 years before it had problems and I've had some CRT monitors die after 1 year.
Caching more is pointless since it only caches when you load things the first time. Adding a 32 GB SSD as an OS drive did more to accelerate my system than going from 4 GB to 8 GB RAM did. For desktop use where each app load will pull in a ton of libraries from all over the drive it is ideal and at my usage pattern it will be a good 10 years before I even start to see the drive wear out.
Details: 8 GB RAM, 32 GB SSD for OS and applications, 1 TB for data.
I don't know why that got modded down. Thanks to SATA having a standard plug positioning and hot swap connectors, there are some nice solutions that allow you to just slot in a SATA drive and pull it when you are done with it. You can get them direct SATA that plug into the front of the machine or external USB/Firewire models.
Knowing NVIDIA it will be the same as it was for their chipset drivers so not before the FOSS drivers are nearly on par with the proprietary ones and they suddenly realize it's less work to fix the open driver rather than keep working on the proprietary.
I vote for dumb. Right now I find myself in Spain and it's very difficult to determine beforehand what is available here and what isn't. I can click and get a list of stores with an item but even if it lists international shipping rates, it may not be available to ship to me. Most of the time the only thing I can do is try and buy it and see if it errors out on my shipping address.
They *really* need an "exclude if not available in my area" search option, or failing that a warning on the product page that the item is not available to one or more of my shipping addresses.
Worked great the time I did it with Debian and because Sparc is little endian some buggy software will hard crash on it rather than corrupting memory so it made a great testing box for some of my C software.
A company I worked for in the past had some crunch times but abandoned the idea after we lost more time to debugging than we gained with the extra work hours.
The problem seems to be that many managers think of tech work as just like an assembly line and have no idea of the actual work involved.
In BC Canada they tossed something very similar to AV even through the person bringing it was very popular at the time. At some point AV/STV/whatever proponents need to realize that the average voter just doesn't like the idea because it's too complicated.
Less confusing would be if the lead candidate gets less than 50 percent of the vote there is a runoff vote later.
Then you will get angry but forget all about the whole incident when the next iphone comes out and you rush out and buy it. No matter how angry Apple users get they still buy whatever Apple puts out so Apple doesn't has no reason to pay any attention to angry users.
The P Pro was actually a decent chip as far as x86 goes and sold well on servers so it's really not a good example. The thing it sucked at was 16 bit performance where Microsoft's entire consumer OS lineup resided at the time.
The Itanium isn't a failure because it was designed for large systems. It is a failure because they started by throwing out everything tried and tested when it comes to architecture design in search of the textbook "perfect" design that offloaded far too much on the compiler and in some cases the needed compiler changes weren't even possible.
Libya has been an outright sponsor for terrorist organizations for years and when they backed off on the first world they moved in on Africa supplying arms, training and mercenaries to some of the most vicious rebel groups in the region. You can't get much worse than Gaddafi to begin with so the dice roll is worth the risk.
Most of the Android translation apps are really just a wrapper around Google translate. There are hundreds of the blasted things and they have the audacity to charge you for it when Google is doing most of the work for free. I wouldn't be overly surprised if those apps were a large part of the reason Google is shutting the service down.
Evil is the word for it. Just check this part out:
36. The final asserted patent, the ’233 patent, relates to the storing and displaying of annotations of text which is not modifiable. As noted in other portions of this Answer, Affirmative Defenses, and Counterclaims, the claims of the ’233 patent are unenforceable because they were procured via inequitable conduct. During prosecution, Microsoft and its attorneys failed to disclose a prior art reference, U.S. Patent No. 5,146,552 to Cassorla et al., that the European Patent Office identified as pertinent and invalidating. Further, Microsoft even failed to disclose the European Patent Office’s assessment and description of the prior art, despite the fact that such assessment and description conflicted with Microsoft’s representations of the prior art to its invention. Moreover, in addition to being unenforceable, other prior art renders the ’233 patent’s claims invalid. In the ’233 patent itself, Microsoft admits that publishing houses wanted their documents to be in the form of non-modifiable text at the time users wanted to annotate. It was obvious to respond to the demands of both publishing houses and users. In implementing the concept of annotating non-modifiable documents, Microsoft did not have to devise any unique solutions, but merely applied well known techniques to the problem created by the advent of electronic publishing. This was nothing more than the utilization of common sense solutions to a problem, and there is nothing patentable about the concepts allegedly covered by this patent. In any event, neither the NookTM nor Nook ColorTM device employs the subject matter set forth in the ’233 patent, or infringes any valid, enforceable claim of that patent.
There really need to be sanctions applied to attorneys who pull stunts like that.
Just a note for people running PCI-DSS compliant environments: I was told by my PCI auditor that even though PCI-DSS requires the use of an IDS that does DPS and even though it's rendered useless by the fact that all of my traffic is encrypted. I'm still not permitted to setup any sort of decryption on the firewall.
As far as the linux kernel goes? They've picked a very specific release train. 2.4.22, which came out in 25-Aug-2003.
No. RTFA:
The accused infringement relates to the Linux kernel itself, which is at the core of Google's server farm. The complaint named a long list of allegedly infringing Linux versions, starting with the 2.4.22.x tree all the way to version "2.6.31.x, or versions beyond 2.6.31.x."
The start kernel is a very specific release because they had no reason to start there. 2.4.x was from a time when there were no new features added to kernels so the code was likely there for 2.4.1 (30 jan 2001) and assuming the 2.4.x series kernel was the first kernel with the feature it would have been added somewhere in the 2.3.x experimental series (May 1999 - May 2000). The fun question is now: did the 2.2.x series kernel infringe?
If anything in his case it's a delayed payment since the original poster has stated that he buys the box sets as soon as they are available.
I do the same but mainly because I am forced to as a Canadian in a foreign country I can only old versions of shows I like dubbed into Spanish, The English TV selection here is pretty much: flipper, Diagnosis Murder and two other shows I can't remember the names of played out of order on a tight loop.
None of the legal streaming services work here so my only option is to download by torrent and order the boxed sets at the end of the season.
Tell that to the last two managers who got smacked down for crossing me. I have a very solid say in how things go in my office without having to deal with the extra paper work and politics of being an official manager.
Being a manager means spending more time dealing with politics and paperwork rather than technical issues and I know from experience it's a lot less fun so I don't understand why people crave management so much.

correction: Sparc is Big endian
Worked great the time I did it with Debian and because Sparc is little endian some buggy software will hard crash on it rather than corrupting memory so it made a great testing box for some of my C software.

Not true, the children phrase is in the google cached version as you can see for yourself here.

The (flawed) logic is that it is easier to deal with password issues if site staff can view the passwords.
Small but growing, leaving it off until the market grows too large to ignore is going to guarantee you won't be ready when the time comes.

FireFox is the exception. FF on XP uses it's own SSL libs that support SNI. My server config days will get so much easier when XP dies.
