It seems that state-to-state (or even city-to-city) variations in law pretty much just requires that a lawyer and an engineer sit down and code up the statutes, right? Then do simulator testing? Then the car can download them as needed. I'd bet that autonomous (or semi-autonomous, as I think better describes this one) cars will do a better job at that than out-of-state drivers.
None of the originals -- or even 2nd or 3rd generation copies -- of any ancient or classical era literature have survived to the present day. What kept the works from being lost is that there were lots of scribes making lots of copies, and spreading them around. People did this because they thought they were good, so they went to the expense of having a copy made.
For your pictures and videos, even if you're not thinking of keeping them around for thousands of years, do the same thing: Make copies and spread them around to people who want copies. Convert them to different formats, too (Try to keep some high-quality, non-DRM copies for the next format as well). Don't just think in terms of having a monolithic collection (like the Library at Alexandria) either. You want each grandparent, aunt and cousin to be helping you to curate a distributed cloud of record.
The "obvious" tool here would be The Cloud -- but be careful. None of Google, Yahoo!, Amazon, or Facebook really cares about your pictures; they care about the revenue they can make by keeping a relationship with you. They're kindof like ancient scribes. Let them help you with the making of the copies, but don't let any of them (or any subset of them) keep your only copy for very long.
I think that turning off the Internet is pretty much an admission that regime change is inevitable. A legitimate sovereign power can enforce its laws without completely blocking everything.
You might as well suggest that ballot boxes are dead tools because they haven't been used in Egypt in a few decades... but they aren't, and they'll probably be used again very soon.
The oldest computer I have around is a 1990 Amiga 500; I mostly use new kit, of course. Anyone who gets an implant is going to be stuck with it pretty much for life, or commit to brain surgery every 3-5 years to install the newer one.
On the other hand, a 'trode net or hat would seem doable; sign me up for that.
Me, too
I wonder if we'll be able to hear the giant sloshing sound -- starting 24 months after the iPhone 3G came out -- of everyone moving away from AT&T / iPhone to whoever is offering a good plan with reasonable price/terms/etc. On the other hand, the iPhone is still a (historical) game-changer, in that it got everyone away from horrible dumb-smart-phones that couldn't even keep a calendar in a user-friendly way.
No, the problem is that we really do need more address space. IP addresses include identification information and network topology information. We really do have almost that many computers, and almost that complex of topology.
Forcing the holders of large legacy allocations to give them up would hurt more than moving to IPv6, and it'd only get us a few more years of IPv4 growth. Opening up the class-E space would also hurt more than moving to IPv6, and still only give us a few more years.
NAT effectively adds 16 more bits to the address, but does so on a per-connection basis, not a per-node basis. It requires the network to be stateful, instead of just passing packets while the end hosts carry all the state. (This means that the end hosts can't just route around problems.) NAT is messy, but it happens to work because it can steal some bits of TCP or UDP to make up for not having enough in the IP header.
IPv6 adds way more address space than anyone can think of a use for. So it can encode a lot of information about the node's position in the network, plus keep an address unique for (practically) ever.
Was it cheaper when they did it all with paper files?
Yes, but mostly because there were a lot fewer people back then. (Remember, that even sorting is O(N log N) -- and you have to do that to get the right papers in the right files. I would guess that there needs to be lots of O(N^2) operations to catch fraud. 300,000 Americans is a big N.
Google does publish ipv6.google.com. And if you have classic (not ig) selected, you get an extra-fancy dancing Google logo to let you know you made it to the IPv6 version of Google.
But if you want to use their regular services, they just redirect you to plain old boring www.google.com. So it's nice that Google spent 20% of a lot of time on this, but it's not available to ordinary IPv6 connected users. I guess that's better than slashdot. (ipv6.slashdot.org has an A, but no AAAA records!)
Of course, if you want to add some entries to your ipnodes table, you can get the rest of the Google services to work for you over IPv6 and then your gmail will be extra-cool like mine.
The DMCA notices I've seen only swear to be authorized to act on the copyright owner's behalf, and/or that there is an exclusive license which the alleged file sharer doesn't have. The details about IP addresses, protocols, and timestamps are (at best) represented as a "good faith belief." It's never been clear to me if those sending the notices are making any claim that the
Do you have a reference for your claim that the entire notice must be filed under penalty of perjury? I have some that are completely implausible, and others that for which I have some doubt. If this were indeed perjury, that would probably be interesting to lawyers defending clients from similar evidence.
Since hydrogen has, at a theoretical best, a 1.0 eROI, it should never be considered an energy source.
Modern batteries (or even flywheels) are better at storing energy than stored hydrogen. The electric grids transmit energy more efficiently than hydrogen can be transported (except to exotic places where installing power lines is difficult. Like on a launching space shuttle.)
The DMCA already has a "Safe Harbor" clause. So... the RIAA is only promising to not sue Universities that capitulate, when the law already explicitly says they have no case? Or, did they mean they won't sue the students? (But would require spying on them, which would seem to be a violation of FERPA.)
Even if it were a blanket license to share (which isn't clear in the summary or TFA), that would only seem to help the universities not have to deal with as many DMCA requests -- but they still have to deal with a lot more record-keeping and money-shuffling.
For students, it would seem to be nice to have the option of getting a blanket license (or get-out-of-DMCA-free card); but as many have entertainment budgets in the single-$/week range, that might not be what most would want. (And... just how much does this cost, anyway? cheaper than 1 CD/month for each student? I doubt it...)
See http://penrose.uk6x.com/. There is a deadline, but nobody knows exactly when it will be. I think the potaroo.net analysis is the best I've seen.
It's not that IPv4 won't be routed after that date, but sometime around there there will be IPv6-only nodes that you won't be able to get to if you're v4-only.
I've always wondered what would happen if we started a rumor that RIAA & MPAA couldn't detect sharing on IPv6.
(Of course, that kind of deception would be just wrong; this is idle speculation. Don't go setting people up to get DMCAd or sued. Also, it's wrong to infringe upon copyrights in the first place.)
It might even be true when it first starts, but I suppose it would be self-invalidating after a while.
When I heard about this at OSCON, I had the same disbelief as anyone on slashdot. But then I thought.. what if it's true? What if MSFT isn't going to fold up and die a relic of the days of propriatry software? I wanted to see that, and I'm sure I'm not alone. But they have new management and can see how the software world is shifting just like everyone else. The "enemy" might be infected with "good", and we might get a powerful new ally instead of a vanquished foe. (What if this happend to the MPAA?)
But for now, I'm going to watch out for boar aviators and do what I can to slow the pace of infernal cooling.
Yeah, I often get annoyed that RL is one giant no-fly zone -- especially whenever I can see where I want to go, but have to walk or drive around stuff to get there. And rokso made a list of about 100 people that desperately need an orbit cage, or at least 10,000 anvils.
I dunno about the giant penis though. I like the one I have; but to each his own.
Do you think it's likely that the judge and magistrate communicated about this before doing anything? I think RIAA lawyers have been warned about this, and that didn't work. This sounds to me almost like an extra-stern warning, "See? You guys are this close to screwing your careers. Knock it off, or else."
Well, some things are "expected" to take 3 or 7 years. So how about just tagging this 2013. If in 2012, there's an article predicting that Duke Nukem Forever will come out next year, then we can tag that 2013, too. Then at the end of 2013, we can check that tag, and see what was supposed to happen that year, and compare that to the reality.

4xx means that the requester is invited to try again (ie, to circumvent.)
I guess slashdot got slashdotted?

It seems appropriate to make a joke about the Mall in Edmonton, but I haven't had enough caffeine today.
I was thinking that, too.

Erm, 300,000,000.

Oh, and another gripe: AFAICT, googlebot does not have the ability to visit IPv6 websites. It makes me sad.
