One reason Comcast is so pro-ipv6 is that they've run out of 10.0.0.0/8 to privately number the cable modems of their subscribers, and have had to get ARIN allocations to keep signing new customers up.
Get a copy of Working Effectively With Legacy Code. It'll help you get tests around the code base that give you the confidence to be able to change it without breaking anything.
Network size on IPv6 is/64, not/96. Companies are usually given a/48, and ISPs a/32.
If your ISP tried to restrict you to::1 for some reason, you could tunnel out to a broker that gives you a/64 or/48. I can't see why anyone would, Comcast for example has no plans to.
Saw one of these at the Miraikan (National Museum of Emerging Technology) in Tokyo. The hardest part in interacting with it was that it kept getting distracted by schoolkids... maybe my accent was too foreign.
Good eye:) The lower part of the LEM is covered in gold foil, which is reflective to help prevent direct sunlight from cooking the inhabitants. The "lit" portion of the LEM which appears gold is the foil reflecting the sight of the white landscape like a mirror.
The upper portion of the LEM is not as reflective, but you can still see bright panels where they are aligned to reflect light back toward the camera.
I know what you mean. I've been using OSX for six months, and already I can tell I'll never want anything else.
Still, there are several bugs that annoy me, and over half of them are isolated to the Finder. They're all easy-to-fix things, which is both good (they'll probably be fixed in one swell foop someday), and bad (because why haven't they fixed them?)
I'd love it if anyone could just explain a few of them to me. Why does Finder's command-j still default to All Windows? Why does clicking Finder to raise focus also click through (thus losing the focused item), when it doesn't seem to for anything else? Why does a stateless protocol like Webdav have trouble after changing networks or coming out of sleep?
One use of Spotlight is not finding unorganized files, but having already-organized files and being able to use Smart Folders to create parallel organization out of them. For example, I can have a smart folder for every file I've opened in the last day, every file I've created in the last week, or every iChat conversation from the last three days.
One of the most useful things I've found in Spotlight so far is using it to search my browser cache. Often I've wanted to find a page I visited in the last few days, but can't remember the site it was on. On Windows and KDE, I've had to use grep -r or similar, meaning a 5 minute wait for each candidate phrase (slow laptop drive). With spotlight, I open my browser history, type in a phrase, and it comes up instantly.
Does anyone really believe that they would put a speaker in the mouse? I have heard plenty of crap on/. in my day but come on...
RTFP:
Mighty Mouse even sounds as good as it feels. The audio feedback built into Mighty Mouse provides an aural sensation that responds to your movements. A tiny speaker inside Mighty Mouse produces button-clicking and Scroll Ball-rolling sound effects.
And there were no encounters of cylons (although one person was struggling with the thought that she might be a cylon).
Was this the only episode you ever saw? The episode we're talking about occurs immediately after '33', in which they've been fleeing seconds ahead of the cylons for a period of something like 135 hours.
I'm pretty sure the possibly of cylon encounter was very real during this episode.

www.sprint.net has IPv6 address 2600::
Windows 2000 had an experimental v6 stack. Windows XP has IPv6, but you need to type "ipv6 install" at the command line to enable it.
Sure it has, since Vista.
Or on XP you can type "ipv6 install" on the command line to enable it.
Since when does a user have to type the http:/// in a browser bar?
That's a hostname (which is already supported via IDN, such as http://xn--malmpeeps-37a.se/ ), this story is talking about TLDs.
There's no technical reason Mönsterås can't have mönsterås.se
You're not allowed to re-sell IP space.
IPv6 is lighter weight than NAT. NAT requires connection tracking, for one.
In many ways IPv6 is lighter than IPv4, because router fragmentation and several disused packet options are not allowed.
At current rates, a class B (/16) lasts about 2.5 hours. A class A (/8) lasts about a month.
Not really worth the hassle when we can just start using IPv6.
Except that you're not allowed to re-sell IP addresses, they are owned by the IETF.

Both of my routers support IPv6 (wrt54g and airport express), maybe I'm just lucky.

Comcast will give out /64s from what I recall. That's the smallest allowed network size for most IPv6 tools (radvd etc).
That leaves 2**64 addresses for your home network, or just let your hosts auto-create their local address which is the default config.

I was going to make a similar joke.
No coincidence that I'm halfway through Fowler's book at the moment.

Here in Denver we have ExpressToll arches over our tollways, and don't even have to slow down at all (posted speed limit is 70MPH).

Look harder. It does have a speaker to give "click" and scroll feedback.

You might look at the title once per play, but you *hear* the word being pronounced as "damashii" hundreds of times in some levels.
