  1. Re:IPv6 is DOA... on ARIN IPv6 Allocation Policy · · Score: 1

    That is lie.

    Or to be nice -- a mistruth.

    I can connect to each and every one from the outside... Connect to my firewall SSH, VPN or what not -- and my internal network is completely available.

    IPv6 will not fix anything -- bad design from the start... It only causes new dollars to flow to big companys --- that is it.

  2. IPv6 is DOA... on ARIN IPv6 Allocation Policy · · Score: 1

    It is unneed.

    Just like new area codes in the US.

    You ask why???

    Waste by humans. Why do large companys like DISNEY, BEOING and the like have full class A???

    Does each of the workstations take or need a "real" IP? NO

    Why does a company need direct dail to each phone by only 7 digits?

    Why not a single number - then extention?

    Why Centrex?

    Why must a cell phone or pager use the same area code?

    Why does a pager have a single number at all?

    IPv6 is just waste of time and money for all.

    If I want to have few thousand ip in my house... I got it already 192.168, or 172., or 10., and I only use 1 ip outside.

    Tell them to scrape IPv6, then tell the Feds to stop doing dumb things like giving you a phone number of life! That is why they want overlays. Beside charging you long distance on every call you miss dail.

    Both of these messages are causing dollar$$ impacts. Stop wasting money on bad plans.

    Missing info...

    Why is there no assignments in IPv6 by area... Saves router tables.

    Why is there no assignments for restricted content (xxx, or ...)? This would save all firewalls tables.

    Again IPv6 is not a solution. Because the humans running have their own agena -- and will not let real people change it to be useful. Public comment is only have they have made up their minds. Go to city meeting, when public comment is being heard - even if the best speaker speaks against something... it passes. Why because their peopel can't be wrong, and pay them.

    If ARIN want to prove otherwise... take back the wasteful class A first! But won't happen becuase IPv6 would not be needed then!

    Get a life!!!

    It is called free enterprise.

    If you don't want to be a part of it, then change your ISP to some one who does not care that his T3 pipe is filled with trash.

    RBL started years ago, came out of ISP list groups (I still have the email here some where).

    It was checked by lawers to besure it was legal and non monopolistic.

    It is the right thing. Why should an ISP waste money to support a bunch of free loaders posting "Girls Girls Girls" or "make money fast"?

    Why do people get on their HIGH HORSE, force someone else lose money.

    Remeber this came form the days when T1 was big and expensive and Usenet would fill a 33k line 24hrs a day.

    If you spent a moment and read the RBL -- to get off RBL -- FIX YOUR OPEN SPAM RELAY. Yup that is.
    If Macromedia took to fix the problem was taking out their whole site... YEAH!!! Another dumb corporation learns.

    It you want to bitch and moan about your damn rights... Then you put your ass and help the blocked sites fix their spam relays. Why should an ISP have to support them???

    If you still want to bitch and be nailed to a wall. Join inet-access list.

    Actually, McDonald Corporation, USA like all corporations are a legal entity only in the country they were founded in. Try to do business in France -- a forgien company can not own more than 49% of a company -- See Disney and Euro Disney.

    Each of these other companies have to obay all local laws... see: Compuserve Execs being fined and jailed.

    Yes "leakage" occurs -- but whisle blowing can be BIG money in Europe.

  13. impressive? on Color Photography with B&W Film · · Score: 2

    The was steroscope cameras back then two that gave you 3D images by taking two photographs with lens set 4 inches a part.

    The tri-color lens camera is also how early color TV was "filmed". Image came in the main lens and seperated in to RGB channels via prizmes with 3 Monocrome tubes read the images. Signal processing recombined the single for broadcast, the TV on the other end breaks it back up to RGB and using 3 guns in one tube displays it to you (if you still are using a tube... look real real close to see the dots!).

    It was the seventies when that was moved down to 2 tubes. Red and Cyan. That was when the first "true" mobile cameras were available. Those cameras wrapped the cameraman's shoulder with the Red tube over the shoulder with Cyan tube pointing up the chest.

    This would have been BIG NEWS if it was from one plate and not three. Then the KODAK plug would be "KODAK losses IP rights, Earlier ART Found!"

    per artical:
    The new, much stricter agreement clarifies that Microsoft's right to use customer communications is only in the case of an exchange with the company.

    If this was in place when Stacker was looking it being bought by MS, then Stacker would not have won that court case and we would not have seen DOS6.21 and DOS.22

    1) remove Microsoft's copyright/trade secret kebos posting.

    We fixed ours then, why not the rest of you?

    Could not understand the dread that world felt for looming Y2K, nor need to party for the non-millennium night. Though I saw screwed up email dates, and some bad reports dates wear programmers took shortcuts. They should have been charged back for the errors. Damn - EULA!
