Microsoft seems to understand the problem, and the IPv6 support in Vista and 2008 is very good.
I'm not entirely convinced, however, that their motivations are entirely pure (wouldn't WGA work so much better without those nasty NAT side-effects?).
But at least they're trying. IPv6 is important; the short-sightedness of many posters here is just amazing.
"Oh, we can reclaim class As from those who don't really need them!"...and fix the problem for another year, maybe?
Actually, that's what I do. I make the last part same as the IPv4 address. Easy to remember if I need to.
10.0.0.10/24 --> 2001:4200:24ab::10/64
etc. etc.
But there is this magical tool called DNS, too. It's really not that difficult to setup if you RTFM. My windows clients update their addresses to BIND without any problems. My macs, linux, and BSD machines, I haven't had time to get them to do the auto-update yet. Someday when I have more time, perhaps.
Yep. And Virginia doesn't have co-equal branches of government, so SCVA's ruling here is pretty narrow. The General Assembly will re-tailor the law to address the specific constitutional rights questions raised by the justices, and the law will remain virtually unchanged. It may be as simple as changing a few words, adding a conspiracy or profit element, etc.
Unfortunately, also the way Virginia works, spammers will have free reign in the Commonwealth again until 1 July 2009.:-/
is like that of a small city, 683,478, with basically one kind of business, oil.
Considering that's more people than live in such "small cit[ies]" such as Baltimore, Boston, Seattle, Denver, DC, Atlanta, etc., I'm curious as to whether you're living in Mexico City or Sao Paulo....
As the FTA mentions, these arbitration clauses are widely-used elsewhere. AT&T will appeal to federal court, and win.
This really is an activists' decision -- modern legal theory is far more supportive of arbitration than the class action process. Many states don't even have class action anymore. They're a racket; only the head, and the attorneys make money.
A lot more used to, up until probably about when you signed up. Three of the five bills I paid on there quit using them within about six months of each other. Not sure if it was something where they raised their rates for the billers or what.
Nowadays, I pretty much pay everything online in some way or another. The only automatic payment I have is my car note, which is really the only thing I do though an old bank account. I transfer over enough money to cover it every month.
My new bank is pretty good about dealing with bills that don't even really offer online payments. They actually cut paper checks to my doctor, dentist, and landlord. Pretty much everything else I set to charge automatically to my AmEx, which I pay online about every ten days.
The trick is to vote for who you feel (emotionally) better for.
You're picking the chief executive of the federal government, not a girlfriend/boyfriend. 95% of the job of the president is being an executive manager. You not only have to look at the candidates' policies, but who they'll bring to the table with them as the rest of the executive staff.
Clearly, George W. Bush has done a terrible job in picking his executive staff. Clinton did a particuarly bad job early on (Les Aspin, anyone?).
In that respect, picking Biden, the ultimate Washington insider, gives Obama more credibility than he had before. Even if Obama doesn't have a comptent staff at his disposal, Biden probably has enough connections to assemble one.
Same goes for John McCain, who has better policies.
But you're going to follow your heart? Incredible.
Finally! A VP candidate with no bad positions on any of the issues!
Well, his detractors would tell you that Romney fits that bill perfectly!
As a Romney supporter during the primaries, McCain selecting him would help that bad old man medicine taste go down a bit easier. While I briefly considered Obama, the Biden pick seals the deal. Biden is a bloviating idiot.
No, Vista is new, and they haven't bought themselves a PC with it installed, and everyone they've talked to say it's bad, so it's insecure!
And, yes, they do have some resemblance to the QA weenies. My last company I joked that after they instituted ISO, I needed to fill out three forms to go drop a deuce during work hours.
A good number of them would be checking bags on the way out of BestBuy if they didn't know how to boot a PC.
My experience lately is that security people, generally, are: a) not intellectually curious, b) fearful of change, c) often suspicious of others' motives because they, themselves, have malevolent intentions, and d) powertrippers, because they've been given power to second-guess solutions they weren't technically-savvy enough to come up with themselves.
It's fun to discuss something like IPv6 with an IA weenie. He doesn't understand it, so it must be a threat!
BTW, I work for a large federal organization, where these people are everywhere.
Heh....my thought while reading through all these other posts talking about the Apollo program is that it all happened before the "Great Society." It's not the war that's eating up available federal dollars, it's that we're paying for old guys' Viagra (and their treatment for STDs in the nursing homes).
Which is why I'm a bit surprised Jindal supports it. At the same time, the Republican base in LA is mostly upstate, mostly white, and overwhelmingly evangelical protestant. Not that Catholic Democrats are any better about governing in concert with their faith's teachings....birth control, abortion, euthanasia, etc. etc.
As an atheist, however, neither party is particularly attractive to me. The Republicans believe in fairy tales on most things (religion). The Democrats believe in pseudoscience on economics and climate change. Furthermore, the Democrats' base, while having more of the top intellectuals, is largely composed of the ignorant.
We've had a decade of people trying to ram this product down our throats, and yet, the best we get is that we should appreciate having an IP address that looks like:
Learn DNS.:-) My Windows Vista machine and my Macs resolve just fine after pulling an automatic network address, tyvm. And I'm running BIND, not Win2kX on the server side.
That -sucks-. ok? it sucks. It may be great for network people, except those that use the addresses, but it suks.
IPv6 : Proud sponsors of unusable addresses.
Your URL won't work because you forgot your brackets and your semicolons.
And if you have to remember addresses, in a lot of circumstances it's not a lot different than an IPv4 address, because you can truncate a lot. My home netblock is 2001:4830:####b::/48 (digits on the third set baleeted for obvious purposes). I can remember it fine. If I need something with a static address, there's nothing that prevents me from setting it. Normally, I set it to mirror my NATted IPv4 address.
So 192.168.2.247 gets a static address of 2001:4830:####b::247.
Most of these decisions stem from laws passed long before I was born. How many mixed-use zonings has your local city council approved lately?
I do live in an urban area, and there are some folks in my apartment building who can walk to work. I, on the other hand, have to commute to the suburbs...to a bland office park a good two miles from the nearst public transportation stop. Taking the bus (there are no subways....the water table here is about three feet under the surface) turns a twenty minute commute into a two hour ordeal. And to top it off, there aren't even any sidewalks for most of the distance between the bus stop and my office building!
In some places it's possible (I work frequently in Washington, D.C., and prefer not to drive while I'm up there), but lots of other places it's not.
You know, my initial thought for this was that it's good life preparation. When the high achievers get out into the working world, they'll contribute more to society and the economy, and be held back by confiscatory tax policy.:-)
But somehow, the latter doesn't raise as much ire among slashparrots.
More mediocracy, more taxes. Change we can believe in!
I was catching a news feed over a 64kbps ISDN line one day, and there was a station client (mortgage broker) who was hovering around watching what I was doing....
After the reporter had finished his report, and I was trimming it up for air, the client started talking about the wonderful quality of the audio...almost sounded like he was in the same room...great stereo separation....
"It's mono." "It's mono? No, it can't be. I hear different nuances in my ears." "It's mono. Take a look at the box, and the pot it's feeding. One channel." "Oh."
Self-proclaimed audiophiles are also often beer snobs, showing that there's big overlap among two of the most obnoxious groups in the world. Drink a Miller Lite. It won't kill you, really. And that bitter shit that you have to sip, because it tastes so awful that you can't drink more than a sip....really, it's not good beer, even if your book/magazine/friends say so.
Actually not. I'm probably going to vote for Bob Barr, and no, I'm not a Ron Paul nut. Still, I find it interesting that you're accusing me of being a troll, when there's someone who goes and moderates everything you post just based on your past record.
And judging from many of your comments, you are the shining example for trolls everywhere.
Still, it's funny that the leftists have no problems with the antisemites within their ranks. That used to be something that was so rich, white northeastern Republican chic. Not anymore.
Because he's in a gerrymandered district, and probably hasn't had serious opposition since the mid-70s? I live in a similar district (3rd District, VA), and it's the same deal; I don't think there's been a Republican on the ballot since 2000 for the seat.
I know both OpenBSD and NetBSD have had support for the earlier Via hardware crypto devices; if the new ones are sufficiently similar, the support should follow very shortly.

Hmm. The governor is Catholic++, so evolution is okay (church believes Genesis is allegorical). Sex Ed, OTOH....
The leap seconds are required because of hammer time.

You're assuming that the older Washington insider veep will be a voice of reason.
History *cough*Cheney*cough* has called that seriously into question.
