Well.. The price tag is in fact very high for oil. Why? because a large part of the world oil is on not-so-nice countries (middle-east, former USSR, and so on), and to keep the oil flowing, govn'ments and oil compagnies have to do some nasty things (think corruption, political manipulations of foreign countries, spying, and some even murkier activities ( intimidation/pressure/murder of opponents? help in throwing out democratically elected foreign governement? sponsorship of dictatures? war?)(u don't believe this? think argentina (peron), gulf war, and so on.) Thing is: 1) those costs don't appear on the price u pay when u go for a refill of that SUV. 2) those nasty things done to refill your SUV eventually come back and bite u in the ass, to cost u far more than what u expected.(USA backs saudis for oil,saudi backed talibans, and so on, u get my drift.) So, if u really want security, try to turn tue USA in the first oil-free country.
ok, i think there are some misunderstandings here. let's clarify this a bit. The poster's problem is not with a "classical" HTTP proxy, but with a *transparent* (also called interception:-P ) HTTP proxy. The client uses OpenNIC's alternate root servers, to go to http://www.dev.null. Because of transparent proxying, he can't get to http://www.dev.null, because his outgoing port 80 requests are routed to a transparent proxy, who forget about the destination IP, and only take care of the payload of the request: the GET. Since the transparent proxy doesn't user OpenNIC's alternate root servers, it can't resolve www.dev.null, and can't serve the page requested. Now this is perfectly normal, expected, and even needed behaviour for a *normal* HTTP proxy, but if you look carefully at the RFC 1919, this is a broken behaviour for a transparent proxy: on a "normal" proxy, the client can even afford to not be able to resolve www.yahoo.com and still access it (it passes the HTTP request to the proxy, which will do the resolving himself). On a transparent proxy, the client is requested to do the DNS lookup, and the transparent proxy
can determine what is the final target destination instantly, since the LOCAL IP address field of the connection contains the target server's IP address. There is no need for the proxy application to ask the client what is the final target system.
What the transparent proxy should do is : remember the dest IP, and connect to that IP, instead of trying (and miserably fail) to resolve the hostname included in the payload of the HTTP GET request. As a matter of facts, that's not the only things a transparent proxy breaks. check out RFC 3143 for some examples. Anyway, if something like this is not specified on the poster's contract, the ISP should have implemented an 'opt out' method for customers who doesn't want it for any reasons (moral, technical, security, whatever). I work for an ISP, and when we implemented antispamming ressources (like MAPS, and so on), we were *required* to be able to let the spam flow to any consumer who asked not to be protected from SPAM. Might sound a stupid request, but, hey, what if the consumer is a SPAM survey organisation, or maybe it's a company with important customers which depends on RBL'd mail servers.. Same goes for antivirus email scanning, for example, since some customers may be virus researchers who WANT to receive those.. sounds stupid to drive those customers out by giving them *too much* services, and flexibility is a good thing. If somethin' so intrusive is mandatory, the ISP's no better than AOL. cheers.
u mean, like As far as not being able to stop their missiles, that again is just not true. Aegis [aegis-alliance.org] ships - a program I'm proud to be a part of - ? my point is that the only (as far as i know, through..) real field test was quite disastrous.
and i did indeed put words in the parent poster's mouth, but it was clearly along the lines of Our Naval program is just so much better than any other countries.
And what a fine system is AEGIS.
let's evocate mmhh say.. Iran Air Flight 855 ? (link is a transcript of a Newsweek article)
290 civilians, 60 of them children...
If i remember correctly, that's about the ONLY war time performance of the AEGIS system, and man, what a glorious achievement.
I hope you're proud of a navy which thinks (with all the help of AEGIS) a Commercial Airliner (Airbus, 177 feet long, with a wingspan of 147 feet and weighing 170000 pounds) climbing at 12 000 feet, 350mph, is a F14 (38 foot wings, 62 foot long, weighing 48000 pounds) at 9000Ft and diving, at 450Mph.
What a glorious achivement for a fine weapons system.

Just like guns are allowed in most of the US, while illegal nearly everywhere else, for, you know, self-defense, you can get to kill someone (at least, you're allowed to buy stuff designed just for this), well, brazilians, to save their life, had to steal the drug. too bad for Roche, but, hey, things happen..
some random thoughts.
- Are u SURE that Brasil (how rich a country we have there, indeed..) can afford to pay the "fair" price for the drug? obviously you haven't researched a bit. try for example http://www.globalexchange.org/campaigns/brazil/eco nomy/DebtTribunal.html , and get a clue.
- now we can be allowed to think that Brazil can't pay for *grossly overpriced* drugs, what were they supposed to do? Sit down and die? or grab it and run? Maybe ask nicely? they did, they were told "no".
- "2. Reduces the possibility of region specific drugs NOT being developed because companies rightfully fear losing all investment. (some diseases are more prevalent in certain areas of the world - that is an obvious statement)."
Hey you know what?
companies DON'T develop regional treatments. NO big company research, say, Malaria. So i guess it can't get worse, uh?
"Apparently people are willing to allow those with the guns to do it, and not realize its the first step to losing their own rights." yup, let's all listen carefully to those drugs giants saying: you didn't pay, you're gonna die. and be nice with them, they didn't really mean it, did they?
What's so different between R&D'ing software, and then patenting it to protect it, to be able to sell it, and R&D'ing a drug, so you can patent it, and sell it?
Why would anyone bother coding if they can't patent their nice GUI, why bother to do the On Click Buy if the next guy can come and steal it from you?
Ah, you mean you're against software patents, probably because those prevents you from finding a free (as in beer) replacement for this MS shit.. But you don't care about drugs patents, because you'll never be ill, or you'll always be rich enough to pay for you drugs.. Let the poor bastard die, they're useless scum anyway.

But I must have missed the archaeological evidence showing that paleolithic heavy industry led directly to the end of the last Ice Age. What? Don't tell me that humans aren't necessary for massive climate change. And surely you're not going to suggest that for most of the planet's history, the climate has varied wildly without any human influence. But this time it's REALLY DIFFERENT, right? We're here, and human activity is like, bad, and icky, and dirty. Oh yes, it must be us - this time, for sure.
OK, so maybe it isn't our fault, then.
so fscking what??

it prevents u from flooding with icmp responses.

There is no need for the kind of support IBM gives to Linux, but a little help would go a long way..
For example, there's still to this day no driver for IBM's servRAID cards, and that's quite a bore.
I guess providing access to some hardware and/or docs shouldn't be very exepensive, and could mean a good support of IBM hardware by, say, FreeBSD..
Does IBM have any plans about *BSD, or is it just totally ignored?
(We've been told here by an IBM marketing guy, when we were trying to install FreeBSD on a 4500, that he thought we wanted an "industrial solution"... Like FreeBSD is a toy OS, and we should put something else on this.. I was quite pissed off, but i still like the hardware.)
Of course, to the huge majority of GNU/Linux zealots, it's treacherous, and they won't stop bitching. It's not Linux, after all, that's been choosen as the foundations for OS X, and that's a hell of a pain in the ass to Linux zealots..
