    You're a meany.

  2. Re:Get behind this! on Red Hat puts out Legislation Alert on the SSSCA · · Score: 1

    Must be the same reason publik skewls have 'zero-tolerance' for just about everything. I innocently brought a small knife to skewl one day to cut my apple and was suspended for a week.

    They're too lazy to figure out who's actually doing anything bad, so they outlaw it for everyone.

    Sux, but that's how it is.

    Why not? Let's build one!
    I say we do it in Canada.

    It's because the wing isn't infinitely long. That happens at the end of the wing, and the air over the rest uf the wing wants to go with it. (Badly worded, but I thonk you understand)

    Oh good grief. Lighten up. Yes, people died, but there's nothing wrong with making a joke. I thought it was kinda funny.

    BOMB -> JUMBO JET

    And here it is again for you browsing at -1 (so don't mod me down):

    IN A.D. 2001 WAR WAS BEGINNING. *BOOM* Dubya: WHAT HAPPEN ? CNN: SOMEBODY SET US UP THE JUMBO JET. Cheny: WE GET SIGNAL. Dubya: WHAT ! Cheny: MAIN SCREEN TURN ON. Dubya: IT'S YOU ! Terrorists: HOW ARE YOU AMERICANS !! Terrorists: ALL YOUR WTC ARE BELONG TO US Terrorists: YOU ARE ON THE WAY TO DESTRUCTION Dybya: WHAT YOU SAY ! Terrorists: YOU HAVE NO CHANCE TO SURVIVE MAKE YOUR TIME Dubya: TAKE OFF EVERY 'ZIG' !! Dubya: YOU KNOW WHAT YOU DOING. Dubya: MOVE 'ZIG' FOR GREAT JUSTICE

    There. That's more accurate.

    I for one will happily press the launch button of an ICBM to level the whole freaking country. No pin point attack with minimal collatoral damage - you harbor a terrorist you ARE a terrorist. Yeah, yeah, nukes, fallout, sucks for neighbroing countries and I realize that but you have to realize that many Americans WILL have these inflamed feelings and they won't be thinking about 'innocents'

    Of course, you would feel different about this if you happened to be one of the 'innocents'.

  12. VRML on SVG Now a W3 Recommendation · · Score: 1

    [SVG] looks like it would be a pretty cool thing. But then, so did VRML (I thought). What ever happened to VRML? And will the same thing happen to this?

  15. Seems pretty reasonable...? on ARIN IPv6 Allocation Policy · · Score: 1

    OK, I looked at the thing, and thought 'Whoa, they're gibing 80 out of 128 bits to the host?'. That didn't seem reasonable. If you do that, you're only left with 48 bits for outward expansion, which is 4294967296*65536=about 40000 times earth's current human population. It seemed to me that 64/64 was a better way to go. What ISP could possibly use 4 billion squared addresses?

    That's fine as long as your 48 bits cover everything you'll ever want to network, but what about further expansion OUTWARD?

    Then I saw that they were going to immediately use up all but 3 of those 48 bits for the network. That limits us to 8 planets.

    Actually, it's not neccessarily the case that every extraterrestrial body will be given the same number of addresses as earth. Remember that the most heavily populated of the spacer worlds only has 100 billion people or so. Earth may be a special case, and take up the entire 001 network. Everything else will probably be more reasonable, after seeing how efficiently earth used the addresses, and all fit into 010.

    My 2 cents about that...

    Perl 5 doesn't support IPv6, does it? will I have to upgrade SpookShare to perl6?

    Hopefully it'll get put in /usr/bin/perl6, so at least you don't have to worry about backwards combatibility. He really should have called it 'parl' though, so as not to confuse newbies.
