I have IPv6 enabled on my Ubuntu box, but I'm not running on an IPv6 network. For the most part, I haven't noticed any issues. However, when I set up tftpd on the box, I was initially unable to connect to it. It took quite a while to track down the problem to IPv6 being enabled. The solution, which did not require disabling IPv6 across the board (though that would work too), was to add a flag in the inetd configuration to specify that it was an IPv4 service.
So, it's not completely transparent in Linux either.
This epistemological nonsense concerning the needs of gamers continues to amuse. Here is the simple fact: nobody cares. The Playstation 3 will sell and sell big and almost no one will give a damn about "price". And the idea that all the other features the Playstation 3 provides (features that current "next-gen consoles" can't match) will make it a "vanity toy" is ridiculous. It's an actual 8-core cell processor computer. For real. Not a simulacrum, not a snazzy-looking Atari 2600. It, like the Aibo robot, and unlike almost every console ever made, will have [its] firmware and feature set modified by simply dropping it on the floor.

I believe that, more accurately, it's a platform consisting of an OS, a Java VM, and a software "stack" implementing the UI functionality of a cell phone. All the code for implementing a cell phone UI is written in Java: Dialing, contacts, profiles, skins, etc.
At Wollaston Beach, MA, there are traffic lights that have signs next to them that specifically state "Signals Timed To Require Frequent Stops". In a maybe 2 mile stretch, you end up stopping about 8 times. This is supposed to make it safer for pedestrians crossing to/from the beach. Of course, if you really gun it, you can sometimes get through 2 lights.;)
As I understand it, it's not actually illegal for US citizens to gamble online. The US has laws against running a gambling site in the US, and fairly recently made it illegal for US banks to transfer funds to overseas companies that run gambling sites. This makes it very difficult for US citizens to gamble online, but I don't believe there is a federal law prohibiting it.
On a more fundamental level, power tends to aggregate and become corrupt in a single source of government.
Conversely, though, larger governments within a hierarchy tend to be less corrupt than smaller governments within the same hierarchy, relative to the amount of power the governing body yields. In other words, more tax money is misappropriated per-capita at the local level than at the national level. OK, I have no statistics to support this, but seems that way in the US anyhow.:)
Am I the only one that notices when an anti-republican or anti-Bush article is posted, most of the replies focus on how evil Republicans/Bush/Rove are, but when an anti-democrat article is linked, the closest thing to criticism is "both parties suck!"
OK, as a bleeding heart liberal, I'll say it. The Democratic party sucks their own big donkey balls.
I'll take McCain, even though I disagree with him on several issues, over Hillary any day.

It's been 3 minutes, I can't believe no one's corrected you yet ... It's EBCDIC.
It was probably just a screetcho.
the companies out of the supposed Free World who won't pull the plug to prevent their technologies from being used by these kinds of pathetic cowards
Filtering IP addresses is hardly the cutting edge of technology. Which companies are you referring to?
Sounds like a Nash equilibrium.
You are completely correct in your analysis. Compression isn't really related to compression. But it makes a good "double whammy" for the article.
The irony is that the bible never specifically mentions gambling.

the terrorist orginization known as 'GreenPeace'
They're obviously terrorists because they target civilian populations with brutal weaponry.
Oh wait, they don't do that.
We want the airwaves baby.
That's right. That's right.
You're probably right. But...

Safari is supported. Opera support is coming soon.
Most importantly, it depends on what your definition of "operating" is.

No, I would not.
"Germans Pursuing Kiddie Porn In Second Life"?
Those Germans are sick bastards.

Well, except that I can actually buy a wool coat.

So, now my internet will have four different tubes?

Best laundry sim on the market.
Being an independent developer is difficult at the best of times. Best of luck in finding new digs and getting back up to speed.
