Early large-scale adopters like Google have suffered the leading edge of vendors trying to get ready.
I suspect that most of the pain was suffered by the vendors in this case. Google will have written the IPv6 requirements into the multimillion dollar purchase orders and is quite capable of phoning a VP of sales and telling him that if this is not fixed NOW you might find yourself no longer qualified as a Google supplier.
BTW I read that the DoD has come up with a unique way to encourage vendors to make sure that their IPv6 implementations actually work. They've been told that whether or not their own Web sites are accessible via IPv6 will be a factor in acquisition decisions. I can't reach Cisco on IPv6, though.
To make a long story short, a planet could have a dense core and less dense material at the surface so as to have 2.4 times the radius of Earth, the same average density, but still not have 2.4 times the surface gravity.
Not true. The gravitational field of a spherically-symmetrical body is identical to that of a point mass everywhere outside the surface of the body.
I wonder how much of the trouble comes from devices that are doing TCP-level processing in the middle of the network. Stateful firewalls and ISP ad-insertion engines [isp-planet.com] can introduce substantial latency.
I doubt that the processing itself is the cause of more than a few milliseconds of latency, but the machines doing it may have been configured with large buffers not because the processing needed them but because those configuring them thought erroneously that bigger buffers are always better.
It's certainly a crime, but it is fraud, not theft (just as copyright infringement is not theft). Theft involves deprivation of possession of chattel property.
What the hell do you think that "regulation" of the security industry is going to do except guarantee that the only companies allowed into it are ones that are willing to cooperate with the intelligence agencies of the goverments doing the regulating?
The reason for contacting the "authorities" is not in the hope that they will act. It is to go on record as having contacted them if the company files a compaint against you (assuming that you have made the error of identifiying yourself to the company). Notifying the credit card coompanies might be a good idea too: they might actually act. Send your notices on paper.
If you have not identified yourself to the company stop now. Do nothing else and destroy all record of your activities.
Better yet, have them learn on the job straight out of high school. Sure, they'll screw up a lot at first, but by the time they've apprenticed for as long as it takes now to get through college and get an MD they'll be almost as good as the old guys.
Most of those I know. They kvetch about abuses but they can't see that the entire program is fundamentally wrong.
> You already have no representation...
I am, unfortunately, in a very small minority. Whlle many (though still a minority) dislike TSA and friends they don't seem to consider it important enough to have much effect on their votes or their behavior. They also would never, ever vote for a Republican and so the Republicans write them off while the Democrats take them for granted. Meanwhile, the supporters of the "war on terror" make it clear that being sound on security is critical for their support. Thus I have as much representation as does any menber of a small fringe minority. That's democracy (and yes, we do have democracy here. It just isn't the magic potion you want to believe it is).
>...when will you start voting third party...
I've been voting third party (and writing-in when possible) for more than forty years. Most of the third parties are full of kooks, though.
Herded, you mean. Why do you people continue to put up with this crap? And don't try to tell me it's only in the USA. Europe was doing intrusive "screening" long before the USA started: we used to be criticised by Europeans for having "lax security" because we allowed people to get on airplanes without first proving that they were not armed criminals.
That way when it is generated in one location, it is actually detected faster at another location because the Earth is traveling/spinning around the sun at a fixed speed.
You just reinvented the aether. BTW they actually looked for daily and seasonal variations. They found none.

There are several GUIs for Apt. No need to subject yourself to the horrors of the command line.
> It's quicker just to do it in your head.
True.
> An exact answer wasn't needed
No, but the problem is so trivial that an exact answer is just as quick.
How do you know it did?
Not true. The gravitational field of a spherically-symmetrical body is identical to that of a point mass everywhere outside the surface of the body.
> Religiosity is down, but conversion to crazy fringe factions is up.
You contradict yourself.
What does a not-for-profit Free Software organization do with that much money?
Looks like the inner edge to me. With that much mass I suspect that it is Venusian (or maybe a boiling water planet).
> If it's the same density then 2.4x radius would be 14x the mass.
And have about 2.4x the surface gravity. Humans could survive that.
That does sound like a dangerous analogy. What if the curtains catch?

Oh! Oh! People doing things without permission!

There is abundant evidence that they don't care.

"Victory at Sea" wasn't half bad.

Consider The Pioneer and Voyager spacecraft and the Mars landers.
