    I'm not sure I understand what you're trying to say.

    Maybe here's our problem? :-)

    A /56 only allows for 256 networks

    With 4e21 addresses each.
    Or four billion networks with 1e12 addresses each
    Or...

    It's not like you couldn't subnet your address space if you wanted. You only need to stick with the 64/64 split if you want everything(*) to automagically configure itself

    (*) hosts, anyway. not routers.

  6. and most kids these days do too - even moreso.

    Unfortunately this isn't true. It's true for the kids which grew up with computers before they became polished appliances, but those are generally adults now.

    ....what? there is no way for 'the actual light waves to be coherent' than to have them be of a single wavelength.

    holding up the aircraft flaperon that was found and declaring it to be a "badly-damaged" airliner.

    Well technically it is. Extremely badly damaged, even.

    The one I use does it with a double tap on Numlock. More FreeBSD friendly, I suppose.

    The more intelligent people remap it to something useful, because of its extremely good position on the keyboard.

  11. Re:Misunderstood on Ask Slashdot: Why Is the Caps Lock Key Still So Prominent On Keyboards? · · Score: 1

    Fun fact: creating user accounts requires superuser access, which you generally don't have on other people's computer.

    protip: if you have literally no clue about something, it's best to remain silent.

    let the user map it themself

    The horror. Letting the user decide what to do with the typically three extra keys? Can't have that.

    how do you think precompiled binaries are compiled? with magic pixie dust? so that's not exactly a trade-off

    To put it in your own retarded words:
    Thanks, but I did think about what i wrote first. However obviously you must have understood it much better than I, so if you could point me to the part that describes how I personally assume that any particular system was secure, I'd be much ablidged[sic].

    No one expects any one system to be 100% fooolproof

    I'm pretty sure that's not true. For an example of a safe manufacturer that does expect this, see this very story.

    Are you done now making yourself look like an idiot?

    They probably didn't imagine their electronic lock to be vulnerable; you'd only install a mechanical backup if you already assume that your primary locking mechanism is not secure. News at 11, "smart" guy.

    Nice to see more distros do this stuff.
