  1. Solution for IP address depletion? on A New Approach to IP Address Exhaustion · · Score: 2

    Yadda Yadda Yadda
    What?
    Oh, yeah! Y-A-W-N

    We already have a solution to fix the IP address depletion problem, not to mention other issues with the current IP infrastructure.
    It's called (drumroll)

    IP V 6

    Perhaps you've heard of it?

    Always amazes me why people bother directing such a large amount of energy to solving a problem which has already been solved.

    Can anyone say "fragmentation"?

    Dammit, didn't notice the B you had there.

    Just ignore this post.

    You GOON, quoting an incredibly famous Monty Python bit and claiming it as your own is SO lame.

  9. Re:Windows free for non-commercial use? Well... on QNX Now Free For Non-Commercial use · · Score: 1


    Sorry but you seem to have forgotten one very important fact.
    Microsoft Internet Explorer is not a seperate product that has been bundled for free with the Microsoft Windows OS.
    It is in fact a enabling technology at the core of the Microsoft Windows OS.

    please reference various and sundry legal briefs and court cases

    Kara, where have I been all your life?

  11. Re:Exactly which Lucent are we talking about? on Holographic Storage For The Masses · · Score: 1

    Be very careful when making sweeping generalizations, not everyone is in the midst of significant layoffs and re-structuring their future direction. (eg from memory I have heard neither layoffs nor change in direction from Cisco, though I must admit the market tanked even them)

  12. Exactly which Lucent are we talking about? on Holographic Storage For The Masses · · Score: 3
    The Lucent which recently announced 10,000 (yes, ten THOUSAND) layoffs?
    Or the Lucent whose stock has taken a dive along with everyone else?

    And this "backing by Lucent" is supposed to inspire confidence?

  13. Re:Excellent idea. on Mozilla.org Releases Protozilla · · Score: 1
    On the subject of Mozillla Stability.

    It's mostly there with the 0.6 release. I would have to say that 0.6 finally shows that the Mozilla Project is truly worth the time and effort that has been put into it. Although I have still managed to get some sporadic BANG/crashes on Win2k, I've had less success making it die on my Dual PII/300 RH7.0/2.4.0 machine. In fact, it's reached a point where it would be good enough for me to use as "my usual browser" if it weren't still missing some truly deeply basic functionality. Specifically back seems to not work more often than not (the button's even greyed out) and it completely fails to support Proxy Auto-Configure scripts, which Netscape Pioneered.

    Maybe with the new direction from AOL actively leading the Netscape Development team they'll actually put the final (YAY) polish on what is rapidly turning out to be a browser to be proud of.

  14. We've all seen this before. on Intellectual Property And The AIDS Crisis · · Score: 3
    Anyone remember Jonny Mnemonic?

    The Disease that was ravaging the world: The Black Shakes?

    The company that was more interested in the profits from treating the disease than in actually curing it: PharmaKom?

    And the AI that wanted to release the cure?
