Well, that could be due to the fact that there is a special ICF for IPv6 enabled when you enable IPv6 on your box. It's listed in the Services console as "IPv6 Internet Connection Firewall" and its default setting is to block everything incoming, ICMP messages included.

Number of available ipv4 addresses is 4,2 billion. Number of people on earth is 6,35 billion.
Correct so far.
HOWEVER, instead of having a billion IP's to spare, we're actually two billion + change short if we want to give each and everyone on this planet an IP at this moment.
4,2 - 6,35 = -2,15.

Does anybody know how DirectFB handles key-input for languages other than US-english? Something like the stuff that gets configured with the "XkbLayout" and other similar options in the XF86Config file. Does it use the keymap from the console, or is it just hardcoded to use US-english keyboard layouts?
I don't like Microsoft anymore than the next guy, but that "IE Hack" as I guess you're trying to get at, is merely done with a simple javascript which sets the focus to the search field.
The mistake you made was a common one, and is my explanation of why speeding kills.
You were speeding irresponsibly. Yes folks, there is a way to speed responsibly and it can be accomplished by following some basic guidelines.
1) Know your speed. If you don't know your speed, how can you possibly know how long it will take you to stop the car?
2) Know your road. What may seem like a small and shallow pit in the road when you drive at 55mph can act as a ramp when you drive at 100mph and send you hurling in the air without any control over life or limbs. Can one expect animals to cross the road suddenly?
3) Know your car. Will it start to swerve at a certain speed? Are the brakes OK? How much pressure to the brake pedal will cause the tires to lock? Is the ABS in perfect working condition? What's the condition of the shock absorbers, the brakes, the tires? Will it hydroplane on small puddles of water? How long will it take for you to put the car at a complete stop at X mph on a wet road, dry road, concrete road, asphalt road, gravel road?
AND number 4 which really should be common sense (which by itself usually isn't all that common) Never EVER drive faster than you can actually SEE the spot where you will come to a full stop, should it be necessary to hit the brakes NOW, preferably with some distance to spare.
There is also a number 5 which is also pretty basic. If you happen to pass a cop and the cop decides to engage in a pursuit. By all means, STOP. It's better to have just the reckless driving on your record than reckless driving + resisting arrest (which I believe is what you're doing if you decide not to pull over). Also remember that if you decide to make a run for it you're not going to be as focused on the driving with the cops behind you, as when you're just driving all by yourself. That lack of focus is likely to be the prime factor in accidents caused by reckless drivers.
Speeding by itself doesn't kill, it's the idiots who speed recklessly and irresponsibly that do.
Using disks from the same batch, from the same manufacturer (which is what comes to my mind when you say an "exact match") for a RAID setup, pretty much goes against every decent thing I've read about and learned through the years. The general reason being that once a disk in a batch goes down, so shall the other disks in the same batch go down pretty soon too, thus increasing the risk of having more than one disk down (thus potentially losing data).
Use disks from different batches. Hell, use disks from different manufacturer! It'll reduce your risk of you losing data.

Well, the 800lbs gorilla called Microsoft is learning, slowly, but steadily.
When I installed Media Player 9, I was actually quite surprised to learn that a reboot was _not_ required after the installation.
And, as many before me have posted, IIS6.0 ships with everything disabled.

When will SCO's druglab make an IPO? Considering the potency of the drugs that SCO people seem to be smoking these days, SCO just might make a profit.
