VAT inter-europe can be fixed in two ways, AFAIK: - using the VAT of the "home" country, 15% in Lux., 21% in.be, etc etc - using the client's VAT...
IMO, the Union should go further in the "Single market" idea, and get the EU Council to create directives which would uniformise the taxes for every country, that'd help a lot.
(on a side note: the current troll^Wdiscussion shows there is a need for an international politics section, where people across the pond could find info about the rest of the world ^^)
A member of the "Linux side" (that's what the Commissioner used to describe the "Open Source camp" in the first place) attended the meeting and recorded these.
Democracy in the EU is a tough subject, for instance: members of the European Parliament are _directly_ elected by the european citizens, and, as far as I know, MEPs stay in touch with their electorate and can be contacted. Members of the European Council of Ministers are, as the name says, ministers, from the 25 member states. These ministers are _not_ elected on a EU scale. Furthermore, (i'll take FR as an example) in France, these ministers are not elected at all, they come as a package with the presidential candidate. These ministers are therefore not accountable to the European People, but to their home government... Which is the mistake! They represent their state's interests, and do not act for Europe, nor for the citizen of europe. When this kind of law comes in front of them, they will follow their government's directives (and, as we can see in France, the government has experienced the most terrible disapproval during the last election), and the only way to make them change their minds is to act on the elected body representing these ministers (i.e the president, in FR)... That's a few people down the road, before we reach the minister. The EP is representative and democratic, and when enough horsepower is deployed, changes can occur, reaching the council of ministers is much harder...
Well, it's not an emulator, but more like a proxy which maps the IPv4 space in IPv6 address space and does automatic proxying, so you can have full v6 nodes on your network, and still access v4 services.
It's called NAT-PT, and you can find its relative RFC here: http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2766.txt
well, no, IPv6 actually runs and doesn't crash when you press a key while booting up the system. q;
I've also heard that the GNU/Hurd team is rewriting/about to rewrite pfinet (their TCP/IP stack) to support IPv6 and have a better implementation for IPv4 amongst other things. (the actual pfinet is a linux 2.2.xx IPv4 stack).
I think the parent wanted to correct you on the address' format. What you are replying is nonsense: this address is a "link-local" (read any doc on IPv6, it should be mentioned in the first chapter), you probably won't even see it.
Global addresses are generally much easier to keep in mind, unless you use autoconfig with then.
Yes, the regulations in Europe are different than in the US and other countries. The limit is lower than overseas.
I am talking about the regulation I know. In Luxembourg, the regulating agency, ILR, conducted a survey last year and has published the very promising results a while ago. What they say is that 802.11b wireless networks could broadcast on the public domain with a per-accesspoint authorisation and not a traditional per-client license, which is great for this kind of networks.
I had been looking to solutions like that one for a while, while I was reading the specs, it really seemed like the picture I had in my head (:
anyway, the portal approach, when on an unknown network abroad can be a good thing, but on a daily basis, I'd just get crazy! So, merging the two ideas would just be great: PPPoE login for long-time customers, and ability to use the captive portal to register only for a couple of hours...
Thanks for your contribution.. I hope to be using something alike sometime soon here in Luxembourg (that spot between France, Germany and Belgium (: ).

uhm? sorry? There is no "interoperation" between ipv6 and ipv4 networks...
While it is true that the Carbon framework exists, it doesn't give you access to the full capabilities of Quartz/Aqua.. Carbon was designed to ease the porting of old OS9 apps to OSX, and AFAIK is meant to vanish.
You'd better use Cocoa and learn ObjC.. If you have basic C skills, you should be able to learn it quickly.

Too bad, it already exists.

Imagine a beowulf cluster of these!
*shame*
Parent is right.
An estimation had been made with a really pessimistic case, and the current addressing schemes (/48's to leaf sites)
they came up to 1200 addresses per square metre, which isn't that bad..

well, you obviously _need_ the latest wrt computing power if you want to run emacsOS q:
HA. HA. HA.
lovely troll.
Old world vs. New world macs.
Had a hell of a time installing it on an old beige G3, still getting nightmares at night.
On the other hand, the install on my ibook went very very smoothly.
finally someone with a clue!
Mods, please spend some points on parent (:
my point is that there are not many of those relay routers, which causes lag in the network ...

Unfortunately, there are not enough 6to4 endpoints around the internet ...
If there would be more endpoints listening on the 6to4 prefix, it would be Good...

Well, no, they'll be wireless
I'm sorry, but translating Tintin and Haddock's insults to english doesn't seem right to me!
"Wait and see", I'd say, but I fear that the movie will screw it up \-:
The same thing happens to me while sitting on the train.
I have to plug my external mouse in, because the trackpad is completely unusable for a couple of minutes...
Quite annoying!

My two cents.
beh .. what's the difference between recalling 10.0.0.1 and fec0::1 ?
.. it's not that hard to set up anymore ..
(fec0::/48 is the IPv6 "equivalent" for private network numbers, as these prefixes cannot cross a border router (they use a site-local scope id))
And even my stupid DSL modem (yes, you read well: not router) is able to act as a DNS server
I have 30Gigs quotas on my cable connection for EUR36 .. hihihi
