    Snort, The invasion of Kuwait which opened the door to Saddam the seizing or closing the over 40% of the supply of oil just over the border in SA "only affected us because we made it our business"... The words don't even exist to describe how far you are to the economic realities that we the dwellers of the planet earth would have faced with that nut-job and his sons had over the global economy.

    China makes NK a touchy area. but even you have to accept that the problem is worsening with them being on the cusp of nuclear tipped solid fuel ICBMs. When, sooner or later, NK becomes the second country to use Nukes in anger you'll be reevaluating how costly ignoring genocidal homicidal maniacs is.

    You'd have to ask someone who pretends to understand why MS adds multiple IPV6 tunneling adapters without ever asking if they might be useful. That certainly isn't me.

    Given that I couldn't care less about homegroup and it's the only thing that I see that breaks when IPV6 is disabled & "netsh interface ipv6 set state disabled" takes 5 seconds, it's a itty bitty teeny tiny sledgehammer. MS can state that it's an unsupported config but why should I care (presently)? If IPV6 becomes necessary in the future for things I need, I'll change my habits but so far? Meh...

    You start off trivializing the use on chemical weapons on civilians, then make preposterous statements like there is no proof that Assad has been gassing civilians even though the proof is massively abundant. You don't like wikipedia? Fine. READ THE LINKED U.N. REPORTS that clearly conclude that Assad has regularly used chemical agents like Sarin & Chlorine on civilians.

    Lastly, troll-boy, ad hominem doesn't mean what you think it does. Me asking if you enjoy torturing small animals after you stated that you find bombing people humorous isn't an ad hominem. My pointing out that you STILL avoid of answering that question (and if you enjoy raping little girls) isn't one either. Yeah, english clearly isn't your first language but words have specific meanings whatever the language.

    When IPV6 is configured on a Windows machine and it is getting & attempting to use AAAA DNS records, resulting in a 30 second timeouts, that's when I diable IPV6: http://blogs.cisco.com/enterpr...

    Yeah, it's the client's network that "should" be fixed, but I've given up at tilting at windmills. I'll just tell them that their IPV6 is messed up, disable IPV6 on the server with the issues getting rid of the timeouts and move on.

    Turning off IPV6 in your router will turn off native IPV6 routing but that's not the issue here. The problem is that Windows in particular sets up three different means of tunnelling IPV6 in IPV4. Turning off IPV6 in your router will do nothing for these and you need to turn off Teredo, 6to4 and Isatap on every windows machine.

    These IPV6 tunnels are use than useless in my experience.

    Windows Homegroup depends on IPV6 being present & some other users of the machines I use find it useful so it can't be disabled as well all the time but at least it's not trying to tunnel out. When (though it's still rare), the network has IPV6 connectivity it also has IPV6 firewalls so it's less of an issue as well.

    Quibble: They weren't loitering above the target allowing the Syrian AA to perform rectal extraction and start reacting. The E can vary it's speed somewhat and the first fired can perform a loop close to the launching platform so that they enter enemy territory in a group or spread out and converge to arrive on target at the same time.

    Saddam held iraq together. With despotism and an iron fist for sure, but he did keep it together.

    Before calling for the return of a dictator that killed over a million of his own people, blame the man who created the power vacuum the Daesh grew into. Obama's cutting & running out of Iraq ASAP (and clearly before the government of Iraq was ready) fulfilled a his isolationist campaign promise but was the much greater and more proximate cause of the rise of Daesh. The American military presence in Iraq was a moderating force on their Sunni/Shiite strife and continued U.S. support of the Sunni Friendship Councils would have prevented Daesh from Iraqi gains.
