I hate to say it, but us Techers (and associated JPL personnel) are often not the best of spellers. There were some very creative spellings on assignments I've graded...;) Of course, the number of non-native speakers in the Caltech population is a major factor, so cut us some slack.
P.S. Caltech hasn't been spelled CalTech except by the media in many, many years.
Whenever I read an article talking about "bridging the technology gap" in a country where the reporter finds himself describing the average living conditions as "abject poverty", I can't help but wonder if the government isn't just trying to make a token gesture of goodwill and make it look like they're solving a problem.
That $8500 is way, way higher than they would have gotten had the p2p system not existed. LARGENUM% of the people who download a song on a p2p system would never purchase the song in a store because it's simply not good enough.
(unless you don't want people to know how many machines you have.)
You can do the same thing by having many more IPs than you actually use. You can even cycle through them as a form of obfuscation. (Although there is, of course, no security through obscurity).
I'm not quite sure, but it seems to me that you misunderstand the way IPv6 addresses are delegated -- it's not like you get a/48 assigned to you that's then yours forever. Rather, subnets are delegated to you by your ISP. This ensures aggregation that will greatly improve performance, but a side-effect is that you'll have to renumber if you change ISPs. That shouldn't really be a problem because renumbering is designed to be easy.
There's really no difference between running straight HTTP servers and running P2P programs, many of which rely on HTTP as their transport protocol. The issue of not having somebody online at any given time applies equally well to people hosting HTTP servers on their own machines. The only advantage that straight HTTP has over file sharing systems is that ISPs run their own and often give space to subscribers. That's really the only advantage over filesharing systems, and it's offset by the fact that ISPs are quick to remove copyright-infringing material.
Python 2.2.2 (#1, Dec 9 2002, 18:20:25) [GCC 3.2.1] on linux2 Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> "%x"%(0xAD9+0x5EF) '10c8'
It doesn't matter whether or not it's a derivative work (it clearly is, by the way). IIRC, CleanFlicks was only selling modified copies of the original work that were purchased separately, not selling new copies they produced themselves. This is perfecly in the clear under the Doctrine of First Sale. (IANAL)
Try living in Russia and writing a piece of software that's perfectly legal there and used to be perfectly legal here, and then try coming here and being arrested and held by the government acting on behalf of Adobe. Then tell me how wonderful they are.

I don't understand -- how is radar not light?

But who would be willing to build such a machine? Most people with the experience necessary would also realize how useless it would be.
but 6th graders do not need laptops, especially ones given to them using state money.

Yeah, just look at all the RIAA advertising and radio play that Phish gets --- oh wait...
1. That /48 is delegated to you through freenet6, who acts as your ISP.
/48 network routed through he.net -- not gonna happen, which was my original point.
2. Freenet6 is a tunnel broker, which is not at all what I was talking about.
3. Try getting your freenet6
Perhaps that explains their statement that using GIFs on a web page would always be free, and their subsequent backpedaling.

ISPs are expected to give customers /48 networks, and if they don't, a generous amount of hell will be raised.

It probably involved threatening people with a blessed +2 cluebat.
Who said I had to use Python? Grow a pair of neurons.
So what is the solution?
I'll give you a hint: There isn't one!
As somebody who's name escapes me at the moment said, "There ain't no such puppy as a trusted client."
When I try to connect to that site with Mozilla, I get an empty page back and their server is making connections back to the web server on my LAN.

Linus owns the trademark on the name "Linux".
Wow, talk about unprofessional conduct!
The problem with that is that the word "ping" is also used to mean ICMP echo requests.
Read your own quote: The GIMP isn't a vector image editor, which is really what you should be using to design a shirt logo.
