I want the sites I frequent to continue their success. However, I've found that blocking ads makes those sites load much faster, and they layout much cleaner. If sites want me to load their ads they *must* solve the speed and layout issues, because I'm already addicted to the fast and clean version of their site.
;-) I'm not opposed to IPv6, I just think it's important to point out that people have been crying the "we are going to run out" message for over a decade now. That's longer than people have been crying about SARS, H1N1, and Mad Cow disease combined. Yes there is a need for IPv6, but the over-hype has killed a lot of the interest. If CNN/FOX were to report on the exhaustion of IPv4 today, it would get 5 seconds in the 3am timeslot. People are tired of the IPv6 talk... get on with the technology already.
It sounds like you have a "Managed Server" type of plan with your hosting provider. With a managed plan, a provider has some legal obligations (despite customer instructions) to maintain the host. Go find an "Unmanaged" hosting provider, or colo your own equipment.
Lotus Notes and Lotus iNotes are 2 different client products that both use the same backend Domino services. LotusLive iNotes is neither Lotus Notes nor Lotus iNotes. LotusLive iNotes is based on the OutBlaze product built on top of MySQL and Linux and does not use the Domino backend.

It's almost fitting considering how some of Sun's best customers were left out in the cold with bad CPUs and RAM, while Sun lawyers (waving signed NDAs in hand) were more prevelent than Sun Support engineers. Remember all the press about that? What, you don't? It's because it was silenced by Sun.
That's normally between 24 hours and 7 days, so it's irrelevant to the discussion.
TTL (as you also pointed out) can be modified down the line by the ISP (or even yourself as you indicated). What ever the TTL, DNS is very relevant as it is central to what 99% of Internet users do. S/He who controls DNS has much unseen power.
Fast Flux (on Wikipedia or not) is a legitimate problem. Google is your friend if you truly want to learn more.
"would you actually pay for premium content on YouTube and other sites, or will this draw viewers away to other video sites?"
Assuming it is done right (HD, no latency/delivery problems), then Yes. Google surely seems to be one of the top leaders in understanding quality content delivery. That said, the offering has to equal or supersede the payment.

I, for one, think they are just scared of being blamed for 2012. :-)

Change port. Use iptables to only allow access from known subnets/hosts.
no, really? AGAIN?
With the government, I can vote the asshats out.
That's the easy part, let us know when you have figured out how to rid the FCC of lobbyist (one of which is Google).
They should initially include any and all Debian contributors.

What "vested interest groups"?
Hardware vendors, software (non-desktop) vendors, registrars, etc.
Only a Few More Years' Worth of IPv4 Addresses
They (vested interest groups) have been saying that for a decade now.... guess what, we haven't run out yet.
This is a classic example of what happens when you let Marketing lead Development. FAIL.

Cisco have many (large) labs located around the world. Sign up for some time in one of them.
This is nothing new.
Wow, no one has blamed Bush yet, what happened to everybody?
The BSA, not caring to understand freeware, thinks that anything not purchased for $ is pirated.

NO, Linux is for real work, Games Consoles are for gaming and Windows is for swearing at !
;-)
I yield to your superior insight.
Linux is for real work and Windows is for gaming.
If a group of companies, from the same industry, get together and tactically agree to impose or raise fees, isn't that collusion and/or price fixing?

"DNS happens once."
Not entirely true. DNS queries have a TTL. See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fast_flux
DNS redirection allows an ISP to quickly block infected PCs from participating in distributed attacks that rely on DNS.

The first thing I did with Linux was backup the 3 floppy disks it came on (Redhat, circa 1995)
