Cable companies give everyone a 10.0.0.x or similar address. This way, you can't run apache etc etc because you'd have to get the cable company to port forward or what not.
You'd still be able to do 99% of the things you do, because most people are NAT'd on their internal network as it is.
This would solve most of their problems.
My old ISP used to do that.....I'd dial in, the Lucent Ascend would give me a 10.0.0.x and it's all gravy.
Question is...can you NAT again? Have a second level of this? I've never tried it so I don't know. I'm guessing this probably won't work and thats why they don't already do it.
But if it did work, it seems to be a very simple solution.

I really like Netscape's mail/news better than Outlook Express. OE is very close, but not quite. I've used Netscape since 2.x to read newsgroups and mail...

I've been using 6.2 for the LONGEST time....installed an update or two, but there's no sense in upgrading what is proven to work great, unless you NEED to.

Many moons ago, you could buy 'kits' that consisted of all the parts necessary to
make an AR-15 except the lower receiver. Most of the ads for these kits asked that
you specify whether you wanted AR-15 or M16 specific parts. I would suspect that
there are plenty of guns floating around out there that probably already have M16
parts (minus the sear, of course) in them. Probably a good many people don't even
know how to tell the difference.
I believe there was a court case years ago where the ATF tried to prosecute someone
for having an AR-15 with M16 parts in it. The defendant claimed that he did not
know those parts were inside the gun when he bought it and had no reason to inspect
it for them, nor knew what the difference was. The court sided with the defendant
claiming that it would be unreasonable to expect everyone buying an AR-15 to be
versed enough to be able to tell the minor differences in those specific parts.
Please don't ask me for a cite, as this is just something I remember reading
somewhere. It may have even been overturned for all I know.

What about this voice mail system that's been running over 20 years on this IBM?
I play BASIC games on it at night, but I'm scared I'm going to break it!
Are they going to continue to allow your web server?
Here's my idea:

Imagine a Beowulf cluster of these!!
I my e-mail, tomcat, ssh, and ftp servers using YellowDog on a headless G4 450. It is by far my favorite distro (including any for the i386).

You're missing a VERB between I and MY. Also, you slice a donut INTO, not in 3 parts.

Oh, well, down with Microsoft then!

Well what about GoatSe.cx ??
it's about time we had some good ascii art again.

Don't worry, it's slashdot, the home of Fun!
Loser!
I was just SAYING that when a MAJOR distro ceases work, let us know. Not the small ones.
I'm not anti-Slack!
We have too many distros as it is. I'm sure there are a few that offer unique things, but many are just there.
Imagine if everyone made their own Windows!
Now, when Slackware decides to close up shop, let us know!
Nice try BIOTCH.
I have the power of The COW!

I suppose you whine that you can't call Bejing all day either!
Just because they put a 900mhz PC on your desk, your office shares a T3, and you've got nothing better to do, doesn't mean you can snerf all day.
