If your firewall and LAN config is good enough, perimeter defense works fine. Unsecured devices should never be able to see anything but the path to the gateway. If they need to access something internally, it should be through some kind of proxy.
I can only speak to my tiny little microcosm of the world, but if I plug my Win 7 machine into my Comcast router, and IPv6 works just fine. Not so for Fedora.
Chances are the software is old Windows 3.11 or OS/2 shit that they hacked to get working on 95, and then further hacked to get working on XP. They probably are legitimately at the end of the line.
I'm not a MS hater, but it does seem silly to use an OS that everyone knows will have a limited lifetime. It seems like something like an ATM would be the EXACT place where one of the UNIXes or Linux would be perfect. Support as long as you want it and in the case of linux, support as long as you want to solve your own problems.
My other question would be, what support do they still need for XP? Haven't all the problems been solved?
What is amazing to me is that people routinely kill themselves with all manner of drugs. Why can't they just load the poor fuckers up with a shitload of morphine and off they go? How hard does it have to be? We put cats and dogs down all the time; just do that.
And then the people with recessive genes die out and don't pass themselves on. That's the point, if there is such a thing, of DNA. In the long term, good genes win out over bad ones. If the available mating population is small, everyone has to mate a lot and throw away a few 'tards. That's that happens in pretty much all the species- young that don't keep up with their peers are either expelled from the nest or eaten by tigers. Look at the classic example of modern inbreeding- the European royals and their hemophilia. It popped up because of a random mutation, the weak ones died off, and the defect has now been bred out.
It is the same thing that happens with faulty dominant genes, just on a different time scale. If a dominant gene expresses itself in an environment where it isn't good, only 1/4 of the population survives (assuming it goes classical Mendellian [DD] [Dr] [rD] [rr])
And everyone else's point is that you'll get more light for your $2.50 if you buy a more efficient, longer lasting light. A 25 cent light bulb was never a bargain.
Depends on what kind of pain. A dying, malfunctioning brain inside a perfectly healthy body is going to be completely pain free. I'm not comfortable with a status quo that makes dementia patients (and their families) have to hope for cancer so they can die more quickly.
Amen. It is easy to show love for someone when they are happy and well. It is when it gets hard that we really show our love. Bringing in the pets for euthanasia is the hardest thing I've had to do, but I don't regret it for a moment. If I had that option for my human loved ones in similar situations, I would feel the same way. It would be awful, but it would also be the right thing to do.
More like, ALL care following an resuscitation against the orders of a DNR should be non-billable. If the medical facility wants to write the rules, they can pay the freight.
That's hardly a solution. If the body is healthy and just the mind is gone, it can take years for the person to get lucky enough to die. Plus, withholding food and water is cruel. People who do it to animals go to jail. If the person chooses not to eat, fine. But if they can't make that choice, starving them to death is really quite horrifying. Just let them have the morphine button and slip away gracefully.
Like all kinds of money, the real value depends on what is in circulation. Lost bitcoins would affect the price of bitcoin the same way lost gold affects the price of gold: very little.

Very little these days. Heat is the only thing that really matters anymore. You are just wasting power.
Fuckin' commie!

But then they would have to learn how to do ipv6. And pay Cisco or Juniper for new IOS licenses that support ipv6.

No.
Prescriptive grammar is what makes a language. Otherwise, they are just random words.
And now you're on The List.
It can't break unless you break it.
You can get remote USB boxes that run over cat 5. You can probably even get USB to IP doodads.
What is wrong with you??
Which is exactly the problem. It amplifies the effects of economic expansions and contractions, which makes things worse.

That is not how anything works. It is not the owner's job (legally) to prevent people from taking their stuff. Theft is theft.
The breaker protects the wires. It is meant to trip before the wires connected to it get damaged. If it is installed up to code, anyway.

Wishing is also meaningless.
