Not starting a flamewar. Both Google Maps and OSM have their place. But if I was an Indian, I would donate my time to OpenStreetMap so that everyone can profit from the data instead of just one American company.
the fact that you try to shield pedos is disgusting. these people cannot be rehabilitated and every parent should know where pedos live around them. Actually US already provides this info with handy maps. Once I had a really creepy neighbor move in and I looked him up there but did not find anything to my surprise.
What makes pedos different from murderers and thieves and guys who beat up their wifes? They have been punished and then get on with their life. Chasing them for the rest of their life does not make them behave any better.
May I remind you that most child abuse happens by non-creepy looking uncles, teachers, pastors, babysitters, etc. They are around you, always. And what will you do if you know where they live? Go to their house with torches? Keep your kids inside forever? You have to learn to deal with it. Teach your children not to go with strange men. And talk to your children so you know something is going on in case a non-stranger is doing things they are not supposed to.
The spreadsheet was a great invention and it can be very useful. But it's not useful for everything. There should be some kind of tool that allows you to write formulas programming style (e.g. python), but with some added table visualisation for inputting/outputting data.
I guess you are an American citizen. I'm not, so according to you/your laws the NSA can do what they want to me. I'm not happy with and I thank Snowden for revealing the USA treats everyone who is not American as a terrorist.
BTW: I'm not a terrorist, so STOP FUCKING EAVESDROPPING ON ME. Thanks.

We *must* use open standards here and not let Google, Apple or whoever infiltrate our houses any further. But looking at how easily folks sell their soul to Apple or Google (Android), I'm not holding my breath. Next time you buy a house, you'll have to decide Apple, Google or Microsoft...
It kills the internet as it once was and how it was intended, i.e. every host can directly contact any other host (only limited by firewalls when necessary). The fact that most people noways just just google.com, facebook.com and that was about it, is sad. That is not internet, that is google-net and facebook-net.
Not sure whether this is a serious response or whether it's meant to be funny.
Finally we're ready to deploy IPv6 and you propose to invent a new protocol? I'm sure we can roll this IPv4 and IPv6-incompatible protocol in 10 years from now.
So what are those problems that we don't have anymore? And what are exactly those problems that IPv6 creates?
Why don't we switch to country-wide NAT or world-wide NAT? We would only need *one* public address and every client would be 192.168.0.1. Life would be so simple. And we wouldn't need DNS anymore. Nice! Oh, wait...
There is a difference between certain speech being illegal and speech being censored. Illegal means that the person saying something can be arrested and tried in court. Censorship goes much further and bans other people or seeing/hearing it.
DDOS'ing a site? Lock 'm up for, at least, twenty years. The Internet is essential for civilized life nowadays. We wouldn't be lenient on people that blew up power lines, why be soft on the cyber criminals? Arguably they commit worse crimes.
Find them, charge them, incarcerate them. Put it all over the news. Make it known the Internet is not the be tampered with, just like power lines, gas lines, and other essential infrastructure.
That will stop them. Or at least it will stop them for doing it *again*, once caught.
May I remind you the internet is a global borderless network, which makes such laws impossible to implement. Also, it does not solve the problem, because there will always be a new guy stupid enough to DDOS someone. So, forget about laws. Just fix the internet.
Exactly. Just encrypt your stuff. The internet, even the EU internet, will be a more or less public space. Hundreds if not thousands engineers will have access to it. Any of those people might be a spy. Just assume the pipes are public and encrypt the data. It's much cheaper too.
Isn't a firewall supposed to make your network safer? If the firewall prevents you from using SSH/SCP and forces you to use plain text FTP, what is the point of this firewall? I see many people using all kinds of unsafe cloud solutions to avoid NAT and firewalls. It's the wrong solution.

I know I'm right anyway.

Thank you Judge Anna Brown. Hopefully this ruling also applies to non-Americans.

What risk?

It's an option. You can also use a regular Spotify-only login.

My point is: NAT kills the internet.
Does this database include the pics and fingerprints taken each time I enter the USA (as a EU-citizen)?

There is no logic in your statement.
US giving up control might stop censorship by US government, for example FBI taking down non-US servers.
Try installing iTunes on Linux.
I'm very disappointed to see that SMTP-connections are often not encrypted. It's cheap to do and makes snooping much harder.
I think FTP was there before NAT. It worked well then. It doesn't work well anymore, because of NAT. NAT is bad.
This is why I run in bridge mode.

EU hate the fact that the 'net is effectively owned by the USA
USA owns 10% of it. And this number will not be going up.
