you either understand the fucking obvious or you are a fucking moron
If you weren't so quick to sling insults at anyone who's disagreeing with you, we might think better of your argument.
IPv4 name space is running out.
So? Please list all the Earth shattering disasters looming in all of our futures every minute this isn't fixed.
IPv6 has to be mandated to fix the problem.
Why? Prove it, please. While you're at it, would you please describe what business you're in and what you do there? I'm just wondering what sacred cows you worship. Follow the money, you know?
Imagine that: individuals (which means corporations to some people) FORCED (I said forced, yes) by government (yes, this is ok, you free market fundamentalist freaks) to sacrifice for the benefit of society.
You should check your six. I can almost see a Brutus sneaking up on you from here. What a tyrant you'd have made. What a massive sense of entitlement you have.
There are plenty of far bigger problems out there than ipv4 -> ipv6, but you think it's appropriate to sic the government on this?!?
You big gov't types are all the same. You just see that gov't power can get the job done. You completely ignore the massive cost the mandated disruption is going to cost us. Left alone, plenty of small problems will be handled by those who are slow to transition, and they'll handle them when they have to in the way they can at that time.
Mandated, it's a massive problem for everyone simultaneously. Thanks a FUCK of a lot. You just made an irritating problem a disaster.
I'll start giving a shit about laws when they stop being written by oligarchs, industrialists, fascists, the.1%...
Or, when you have earned or created something somebody else wants to steal from you.
In my experience, at best that kind of law cleans up the mess and buries the bodies. The law doesn't really protect anyone except for serving as a deterrent for the weak willed. The price we all pay for that sort of protection is exorbitant and seldom worth it.
Friend, it is precisely the job of every good and decent person to question the law.
Bra. FUCKING! Vo.
Sorry. Stand up! Have a backbone!
I just watched "Escape From Sobibor" and wondered, yet again, why Jews weren't making it their mission in the Thirties to "shiv" every Nazi in the back.
I dont think thats a bad idea, but Im much more concerned with a generation that seems to favor some kind of anarchy where everyone decides for themselves which of the laws are worth following.
Really? You consider "everyone decides for themselves which of the laws are worth following" is anarchy? You guys really have sunk to a level I didn't know existed.
My biggest concern is that this poor clown is caught in a device designed to keep us all under strict control...
Except for that "poor clown" crack, I think you've nailed it. "... he's just a guinea pig for the new IP hamburger making machine."
I really wish the US would fix what everyone out here knows that they're doing wrong. US-ians, please stand up. Fix your systems, especially your tort law. Thx.
But isn't Slingshot Star Trek, rather than Stargate?
I'm pretty sure every SF medium that deals at all with space travel will do something sometime with the Slingshot Effect. I vaguely remember a SG:SG1 episode where Sam (Carter) utilized it, but I could be mistaken.
There are also actually some useful features of IE that no other browser has [by] default...
Yeah, like ready and willing access to an underlying OS which can't be bothered to protect itself from malware. Are you a malware author/distributor? I'll bet they love IE.
The lower classes have a couple of words they use that describes IE's behaviour wrt women. They start with a 'w' or an 's'.
Actually, I've no real problem with IE; it's a web browser. I blame its underlying OS's fragility.
Here's the reason given in the archive for the theft/release...
Thanks for that. It's a great read.
Academia deserves a huge slap on the back of the head for allowing this charade to go on. Higher education and scientific research... You'd think those would be the last areas saddled with BS like this.
Let's see, rich gatekeeper publishers lording it over public domain documents - check, academic reviewers working for free - check, copyright and Imaginary Property - check, taxpayer funded research paywalled - check, the US DoJ going Medieval over a civil matter - check,...
What a messed up century this is. The guy's like a modern Martin Luther. I hope he manages to convince the jury, win, and sue into oblivion all those involved in the travesty.
No, I don't approve of people cracking into others' computers, but that's hardly what he did. He ignored their TOS. BFD.
That's what happens when you let Randean libertarianism take hold.
You know, it might be a good idea to actually read something on the subject before you pontificate on it. Rand wasn't a libertarian, and she was one of the strongest voices against crony capitalism.
Or, you could just continue to wallow in your ignorance, your choice.
I think it can have negative mass, but to make the observations work it would also have to have negative time.
And you have a problem with that? Honest question.:-)
Have you noticed all those guys over there fiddling around with Planck size Superstring stuff, and you're hesitant to consider negative time?
It's all just a bunch of big, complicated equations that we plug values into hoping the Universe doesn't blow up when we do it, or $DEITY doesn't smack us down for testing it, yeah? I say we try it. Whatta we got to lose?
Congratulations. Here is your warp drive. Unfortunately, you tossed the guy who knew how to maintain it under a bus.
Ptheh. "apt-get install warpdrive-doc"
Yes, I have been pushed under a bus by colleagues, and prevailed in the end. "xman -notopbox -bothshown &", then click on warpdrive (it's likely in the "Sys. Administration" section).
Cult/terrorist leader: "We are now on a holy mission to destroy the infidels. Aim the ship at the planet earth. Engage!"
The planet Earth goes boom and intelligent life evolves somewhere else in the galaxy to repeat this cycle.
At the last nanosecond, the deep space defense network trips the home defence network to rotate the dimensional phase of the Earth slightly, allowing the terrorists to shoot on by never to know whether they're still on the way to the target or just missed. "Ha haaa! Doofuses."
Geez, I can't believe you missed that. "Good guys always win. Bad guys always lose." It's fundamental.
does anyone actually use IE when they don't have to?
I've known people who thought IE was the Internet. No amount of $BASEBALLBAT could sway them from that belief. There's people on/. who think they'll never have to give up on XP.
Hence, Win* malware. It's some weird, deficient intellect related, form of masochism is all I can think. Whatever floats your boat, I guess.

X11 can run over dial-in speed (28K and even less) in a useful way (e.g. rendering an editor app). Show me how to do that with your Redmondian shite.
Why in the world would I ever do that?
Now, you wouldn't but back in the '90s when that's the best dialup POTS would do, you'd be happy with it. I was impressed with 9660 at that time. It worked admirably. I worked from home over it, and people were pissed to find I wasn't even in the office doing that work. They thought I was. Ha haaaaa!
The X server typically runs local, on the machine you're sitting in front of, and whose display screen you're looking at. I.e. in X, the server is the local bit (on your machine) and the clients are (potentially) remote, running on other machines - this often confuses people.
Ya know, I've been hearing that mantra since my first days running X, and I've never found it confusing in the least.
Slashdot Mirror
Of course, this goes to show how ridiculous the original quote was, too. If by "don't play" they meant "don't stockpile nuclear weapons" ...
Erm, no, the game was Global Thermonuclear War. Only fools and psychopaths, or suicidals, play that game.

No backbone left, eh?
Last year Aaron Swartz was indicted on four felony counts for allegedly stealing millions of academic journal articles from JSTOR.
The poor bastard probably has insomnia!
No, it's much worse than that. He's got the "Free Information Deserves To Be Free" disease. Heresy! "Royalties are at stake! Sieze him!"
This is so stupid on so many levels. Why is the US gov. involving themselves in this? USA taxpayers ought to be incenced at this overreach.
My biggest concern is that this poor clown is caught in a device designed to keep us all under strict control ...
Except for that "poor clown" crack, I think you've nailed it. "... he's just a guinea pig for the new IP hamburger making machine."

While I agree, it would be great if the posters on here didn't all talk like angry 12 year olds.
You know, you just agreed with someone who talks like an angry 12 year old?

I think you're well deserving of a whoosh right back. Either lose or loose make perfect sense in the GP.
"They loose their quantum spin"
"They lose their quantum spin"
Try to keep up, or at least buy better Scotch. :-)
Of course, there are some people who will waive their hands and say "abracadabra - QUANTUM MECHANICS" ...
I don't know if you realize it, but that's actually a not bad paraphrase of Richard Feynman. "No, it doesn't make any sense, but that's how it works."
We have smart people all over the place these days postulating Dark Matter, Dark Energy, and infinitesimal^N Superstrings, FFS.
Hand waving appears to have quite an audience these days.
A brief history of the future with warp drives:

Geez, I can't believe you missed that. "Good guys always win. Bad guys always lose." It's fundamental.
You need either fancy crystals, a few jiggawatts of electricity or some kind of cold fusion plant*.
Nearly not untrue!
What does that even mean? True? Almost true? Nearly definitely true? Are you channeling Orwell?
Give me a little more non-fake false hope, and I'll use the slingshot effect to go back in time and uncancel the original series!
Sigh. Ibid.
Fine, you win. Just take me with you. I want to talk to the Tok'Ra, Sam, Jack, Daniel and Teal'c. And Sheppard and Rodney. And Ronin and Tayla.
