  1. Re:Market Forces on IPv6 Still Hotly Debated · · Score: 2, Informative

    A few things to remember, this isn't the first time that technical purists have tried to change the underlying protocol for the internet for logistical reasons. The first Attempt at replacing TCP/IP internet wide was far more braindead then IPv6 (packet size of 53 bytes? Yeah, let's ship everything around in a packet size that not only is not a power of two, it's a large prime number! Oh and for traffic control, let's just drop everything into a leaky bucket!)

    However, it's been clear ever since IPv6 was introduced that it was signficantly larger and more complex then it needed to be. Not only is it not a sensible extension of IPv4 (which has proved it's durability over and over) it is requiring a whole new round of experience so we don't run into the same problems we hit in 88 and 89 before Van Jacobson fixed TCP/IP.

    I think that NAT and CIDR have removed the need for IPv6 until the next iteration of technology requires it. It does not make any sense to migrate to the new technology before then.

    Hey kids, don't let a little thing called ignorance get in the way of your microsoft bashing! now you too can be a mindless /. troll!

    Ignore the fact that Java stole from C++ and Smalltalk just as much as C# stole from java.

    Ignore the nifty new features that C# introducted... Annotations, foreach, data binding etc.

    Ignore the fact that Java has now lifted these features from C# and has them in the new version of Java!

    Ignore all of the neat new features coming with 2.0 and 3.0. Generics and Closures? Who needs thoose!

  3. Re:Norm Coleman on Senator Wants to Keep U.N. Away From the Internet · · Score: 1

    Coleman was in the race long before Wellstone died. He was leading in the polls IIRC before that as well. In terms of taking advantage, surely you can't be stating that the Wellstone funeral (which put Mondal in the grave) was not the worst example of trying to take advantage of a death since Sonny had a run in with a tree are you?

  4. Norm Coleman on Senator Wants to Keep U.N. Away From the Internet · · Score: 2, Interesting

    A quick note for the few of you interested in Norm Coleman beyond the usual dKos drivel that infects slashdot. Norm Coleman is a freshman senator from Minnesota (he defeated Mondale) who has quickly become the leading UN watchdog in the senate. He is the guy who is driving a lot of the Oil for Food investigation, and actually called out Kofi Anan because of the conflict of interest between Kofi Anan's son and the Oil for Food program.

    He is a up and rising star in the RNC. Keep a eye on him, he will be running for president sooner or later.

  5. Re:Fair and Balanced... on Microsoft Spinning Against OpenDocument Via Fox News · · Score: 1

    Not the point that was raised. CNN, ABC, NBC, CBS are all significantly over-represented with liberal commentary, with minimal conservitive commentary. Fox has gen-ui-ine lefties on the show, and the above poster was trying the old trick of challanging liberal creditials. That won't fly when you regularly have a network that carries Donna Brazil and Susan Estrich.

  6. Re:Fair and Balanced... on Microsoft Spinning Against OpenDocument Via Fox News · · Score: 1

    You are aware that Susan Estrich was (Democratic canidate for President 1988) Dukakis's Manager right? if not, consider yourself enlightened. (BTW, Susan Estrich is a also a canidate for the "who forged the Bush Memos contest too). Juan Williams is likewise famous for being a liberal pundit and advisor.

    Henican (note spelling) is also on Air America, a network that does not allow anything other then self described liberals or progressives.

    And of course, they all comment on NPR as well.

  7. The Big news here on Another New Serenity Trailer · · Score: 1

    is that MPAA seems to have re-rated Serenity. The fan showings were all rated R, this is Rated PG-13. One of the things I love about the movie is how intense it is. Hopefully, it doesn't loose that intensity.

  8. Re:Nepotism is Bull on Googling for CIA Agents · · Score: 1

    He is. But I still expect you left wingers to bitch and moan when the report comes out, and Karl Rove still isn't a target.

  9. Re:Remake of the pilot? on Serenity to Premiere at Edinburgh Film Fest · · Score: 1

    Nope. It actually wraps several arcs that started in Serenity TV.

  10. Re:Not really a premiere on Serenity to Premiere at Edinburgh Film Fest · · Score: 1

    Only if you think that 45 theaters, sold out every time is a small number of people. It's not huge, but it's certainly much larger then whatever occurs here.

  11. Not really a premiere on Serenity to Premiere at Edinburgh Film Fest · · Score: 2, Informative

    Not sure how much a debut it is given that it's been screening fairly frequently in the US. Still one would hope for some good buzz so te trade rags notice.

    I also will be interested to see what changes have occured since the first showings. I am certain there will be some.

  12. Re:Stating the obvious on Googling for CIA Agents · · Score: 1

    Then Karl Rove must not have been the source. After all Karl Rove said:

    Rather, "it was, KR said, wilson's wife, who apparently works at the agency on wmd [weapons of mass destruction] issues who authorized the trip."

    Actually, that's what he said in the NYT interview. I am refering to his apperence on Meet the Press and Hardball.

  14. Re:Real smart, David Lazarus. on Googling for CIA Agents · · Score: 1

    Except that Rove waived both independently of the general white house waiver that Bush forced everyone to sign months ago. Miller is protecting a source other then Rove, since Rove disclosed everything he knew about it to the grand jury already several months ago.

  15. Re:Stating the obvious on Googling for CIA Agents · · Score: 2, Funny

    You attack his patriotism? I though that kind of mindless heat filled rhetoric was limited to the right. Evidentally not.

    Part of the reason this story has legs is that Palme authorized (on her own) her husband to take a all expenses trip to Niger. Her husband lied later and said that Cheney sent him (and later backed up and said Scooter) and then backtracked off of that. At the very least that violates several nepotism clauses.

    You have zero creditability talking about "Talking Points" while linking to a site that is named "Talking Points" to refute it. Thanks for playing though!

    (BTW, Rove did not know she was undercover. He got the name from Novak: http://apnews.myway.com/article/20050715/D8BBQEVO0 .html), Also She was not undercover: http://www.washtimes.com/national/20050715-121257- 9887r.htm and was making no effort to keep her job secret:

    Nevermind the fact that Patriot isn't even in use here, and has nothing to do with this subject. But hey, don't let facts get in the way of your trolls. I am sure some /.er will moderate you up for it.

  18. Re:Stating the obvious on Googling for CIA Agents · · Score: 1

    Actually, according to the NYT today, you have it backwards. Novak told Rove... That's makes it quite a question how Novak knew right?

    It also explains why Rove is not the target of the investigation...

  19. Re:And? on Googling for CIA Agents · · Score: 1

    Actually, something not reported by the media right now, but completly relevant was that Mrs. Palme was no longer undercover at the time of article. Furthermore she was already known to be a expert in WMD, and made no attempt to hide the fact from her neighbors.

    This is all political. Are people surpised?

    You present no evidence other then saying "you are wrong", you use a cold war term "ruskies" before the cold war started, and you still have not addressed the points above.

    No, but you can kill a lot of people (which they did). My other point stands as well. Thoose rail lines were being used to move troops and war supplies around.
