There's a company : eCash Technologies Inc having a viable solution for micropayment, but I don't think it will become a standard before all patent claims on this are lifted (a cryptographer, David Chaum owns most of the patents
on digital cash), like RSA usage took off when we approached the end of the patent and explodes now.
Another technology that won't took off before patents expire...

"Additionally most ISP's want their resources to be widely available. If you can't get your mail from both home and work because the ISP blocks access from your work ip address (on a frame-relay or dsl connection) you will most likely not want to continue doing business with that ISP."
I think that the point was just to block packet with a source address unbelievable, like a private one, or one of your own network coming from the outside.
Your proposal is roughly equivalent to : "pull the plug":-)
At least one of the ISP I worked for rejected packets with private or internal addresses as their sources coming from outside on the border routers.
A good citizen ISP should even filter its dialup pool to reject forgeries from its customers. It's called ingressfiltering and is the most reliable way of getting rid of those smurf and other various DoS attacks.

Let's see, one of the other recent BSD articles dealt with adding IPv6 support to OpenBSD, and that's existed in Linux for how long? Years? (Anyone have an exact figure?)
It exists in OpenBSD since years too, and dunno where you got your facts but ping6 is not to be found on the Suse Linux I have at hand. The fact that tutorials on effectively using it appear now doesn't say that Ipv6 support just appeared.
IPv6 support is not only having support in the kernel, without userland support it's worthless, and under Linux it seems to be the case.
How's your USB support on a stable kernel anyway ? <g>

Motif's Not Dead
·
· Score: 3
Now try to fing a job e.g. in the finance area with your wonderful Qt of GTK+ experience.
Motif is certainly a PITA to program but certainly is certainly the more powerful toolkit of the three. One thing that I can't stand with GTK+ is that preferences are host centric and not display centric... That's plain stupid, I can access the same app from many displays and certainly want preferences specific to the display, what if one is small and B&W and the other large and TrueColor, I certainly don't want the same font size and icons on both...
GTK+ completely lost the network part of X... If I want a non network centric window system I can simply use Windows...
"Why mention hardware requirements? There are big differences in the quality of drivers available. The 3dfx and Matrox cards are well supported. ATI support is also progressing well. The NVidia drivers, however, are in really bad shape because the source they released is obfuscated -- to play on an analogy from Bob Young, it's like being allowed to work on your Ford, but being given only metric tools to do it."
Ah ah ah:-)) Always fun to see anglo-saxon thinking that their braindead imperial system is remotely usable... I much prefer having the 14 mm end wrench after the 13 one that the 17/32th inch one after the 1/2 one...
Except they made Java both idiot proof and poorly performing by removing the virtual keyphrase. With Java you pay for a vtable whether you want it or not.
Hum, and never heard of the final keyword as well... Why bother others if you really don't know anything about Java ?
1) Xfree86 has never provided the quality of documentation that most OSS projects of its size provide.
They could use your workforce...
3) They do not go out of their way to solicit users for feature requests (it is 2000 and we still don't have a decent API to change color depth or resolution on the fly!), or provide a decent forum for bug tacking/reporting (I reported a bug with ALL matrox drivers (Matrox Mill - G400MAX) where in 16bpp pixels will be dropped when using scroll bars that use the default Xfree96 widget set. This bug was reported back in 3.3.3 and as of 3.3.5 it was still a issue. (I doubt it will be fixed in 3.3.6 either).
They try to support standards, X is a standard... Anyway if you was something esle that a whinner and has ever done some Xlib programming you should know that X doesn't provide ways to inform applications of visuals change, so you nifty feature would break all the apps... And who is stupid enough not to run in 32bits in the highest resolution possible ? (on modern hardware)
4) Finally, Xfree86 does not act like most other OSS groups of their size. Maybe this has something to do with their *bsd origins (no insult intended). It has been my experince that the *bsd people has always had an eleetist approch, where a group of "old school" gurus huddle in a dark cave somewhere and scheme over the "right way" (TM) to do things. (which I am not saying isn't their right to do it that way), it just does not seem to produce the type/quality of software that I (or linux for that matter) have come to depend on.
Stupid BSD/GPL war all over again... Some GPLed projects are much more closed than some BSDed projects, depends only on the programmers personality...
The only quirk is that Xfree86 support for USB mices has been added after the 2.6 freeze, so you'll have to CVS upgrade and recompile your xserver to use those funky M$ ballless mices...
The three BSDs have different goals, so a merge is not a solution, but the three projects actively follow the others changes, and merge wat interrest them in their own tree.
Subscribe to source-changes for any of these projects, you'll see countless commit message with (from NetBSD/FreeBSD/OpenBSD)

In Europe at least you use the same PIN in shops
that you use in ATMs. So Joe Sixpack can rest in
his drunken stupor, no need to learn another
thing.
Not that I like the idea of making a martyr, especially one with a family to support.
What are the real odds for US Customs to catch a container hosting a nuclear bomb ?
Have you any idea how many countainers enter the US every day ? Why use missiles when you have trucks to deliver your warheads...
(I said container because Irak miniaturisation technologies aren't on par with US ones...)
Yeah that's a troll :-)

Well, your link is not reachable right now leading me to wonder if it's not you that is trying to manipulate us, and with us the stock market...

AFAIK a team of researcher working on FreeBSD still have the record for TCP performance, using FreeBSD/Alpha on a Myrinet network.
See..
The performance reached was 1.147 billion bps on a single TCP connection... Way over what Gigabit Ethernet or ATM are even physically able to do. Those boards are really fast...
Anyone know about more recent results ?
