Keeping things simple means you either get the candidate you like, or the one you hate. Your second preference means little to nothing. True, it is simple... but you lose options and for what? A slight increase in complexity?
Strategize all you like, retard voter. Don't whine to me though, when weird scenarios become reality... such as everyone mostly preferring Bush and/or Gore, but Nader somehow winning, because everyone tried to turn it into a game. His second choice is Bush, but he votes him in at #4? Why not do that now, and vote your first choice in at #2 with the current scheme? Same effect, just more obvious.
It does look good on paper. It also works in practice, assuming that there aren't many idiots like you. It is not a game, do not apply a strategy to it. Preferring Bush as a 2nd choice, but ranking him 4th leads to results like these, so in essence, all you have demonstrated is that you do not know how to vote for the candidates you prefer.
Maybe you'd like to tell us how to insert the peg in both holes, so that your ballot is ambiguous?
Yes, but the analogy isn't perfect. You can start allocating blocks of 10.0.0.0, and expect ARIN to never come behind you and sell them to someone.
Global DNS needs the same thing, maybe only 1 such TLD, or several. Reserved for private use.
How about me? I proposed not 1, but 6 alternate TLDs. After no short amount of argument and debate, we chose those that were the least likely to be snatched out from under us. We respect the standards, and I for one am philosophically opposed to intentionally creating namespace collisions. Am I, is the rest of my group, doing anything so wrong?
If it uses a plugin, it hardly counts. A web browser only solution is hardly a solution at all, and just shows how clueless newnet is.
I won't even get into the whole distributing it as spyware thing... ok, I can't resist a parting shot. Uninstalling it didn't work, and manually cleaning the registry didn't either, it had sabotaged the network stack. Reinstalling win2000 over the top of the old didn't fix loss of network connectivity, and she can't move her important files off of it so I can reinstall properly.
All so they could try and sell their asshat, overpriced TLDs.
I have my own set of TLDs, carefully chosen so that I'm unlikely to ever fall victim to ICANN. Anyone not doing the same thing is a fool.
Nice going Mr. Crackmoderator. Overrated, when I haven't even been modded up, for a simple, sincere post about a subject that most people couldn't care less about anyway.
And that, when my suggestion is actually understandable by the average layperson. Way to go. Why not show how truly retarded you are, and just mod it flamebait or troll?
Doubt that there is a significant difference (significant to planet size, not significant to NBA careers). But for the record, even if only he can jump and reach escape velocity, not a planet.
The crux of the message on CMP's blocking page reads: "Unfortunately, we cannot satisfy this particular request because it comes from a source that is not authorized to redistribute our content..."
Yes, because freenet is a replacement for all those protocols. Haha.
You could try something like Metanet, which puts the encryption and anonymity at layer 2, where it belongs. That way, it's simple to do TCPI/IP like you would with any other modern network, and leave the 1970ish "let's swap files with zmodem" bullshit to the tinfoil beany people.
I think that the shiny PHB magazines may not actually run truly favorable stories. The whole underhanded SCO funding scandal shows just what lengths M$ can and will go to, when it comes to sabotaging open source.
Hell, even the SCO trial itself scares me. I know there is logical, sensible way that any of their "interpretations" could be found true... but something is still going on. We're only a few bribes away from some congressional rider giving SCO such rights.
Won't be a hard sell at all... what else is there to buy?
Don't start yelling linux or BSD, nice as those OSs are... think like a dilbertesque pointy haired manager. There is only windows. And M$ is doing things so that you may not even be able to buy anything other than the subscription....
Yes, it would be like being the first one on your block to have a videophone. How do I know?
Because I have much the same problem.
If you are interested in such things on a hobby level, you'd be more than welcome on my own VPN network. We're building secure dns and pki, and it would be cool to have someone else with their own videophone, so to speak...
#1 We elevate a few hundred pounds of propellant and some rockets. #2 We always have a matched elevator car going down at the same time one rises, on either side of this humongous ribbon. #3 We have cars moving out from the geosync station at the same time as one rises from the ground.
And these are just pulled out of my ass, me a highschool dropout loser with a wageslave job. I'm sure the actual rocket scientists among us can come up with even better ideas how to manage this.
Besides, think for a fucking minute, brainiac. We're talking something *HUGE*. With potential energy I can't even begin to calculate... a 2 ton elevator car is gonna crash the whole thing down? It might lose a millimeter of altitude a month... plenty of time to fine-tune all of this.
I would register to vote if one of our presidential candidates promised to build the damn things.
Yes, because I want 10,000 TLDs, not to mention idiots registering names like "all.your.base.are.belong.to.us" especially when they have no right, authority or good reason to steal a name from the dot us ccTLD.
Or did you guys ever get rid of that?
Besides, the way you run the setup, don't we have to trust you to resolve all our com/net/org names too? Would be great one day to wake up to paypal.com resolving to an IP controlled by a script kiddy?
You assume that previous trends will continue. Certainly, many of the things we take for granted today will be 100% automated in the future. What job do you propose I should start training for, when that day comes?
The only one that comes to mind, is as a wealthy investor in robotics manufacturers.
Most people don't. I happen to love all things technical. I happen to be good at it.
I'll also never have much of a job in IT. I have a rudimentary ATM155 network at home, not to mention all sorts of other L1's. Hell, I'm even building my own internet of sorts. I can do everything from the chip level up to relational databases...
And I'll never be more than a grunt. It's painful being a loser. Some days more than others.
Bullshit. Go find the senior executives for Ford or GM. They've never worked on the assembly line to be sure, but I'll bet that every last one of them has seen the cars being built, and is more than a little familiar with the sight of one halfway through the build process.
Shouldn't a compsci major have seen at least one or two machines opened up?
Oh fuck, I've just gotten the real world confused with my fantasy world again, where everyone is competent and is involved in IT because they *love* computers/coding/networking etc. Damn.
In summary though, I think i can describe these schools in a single phrase "job market dilution".
It's so that you don't try to steal the FBI from them. They have bought and paid for federal harassment and intimidation of people that don't give them enough cash, and they don't want you to try and steal the FBI away to say, investigate a kidnapping and ransom.
This constitutes notice that anyone who had a contractual relationship with the FBI, that it is dissolved and the FBI will only pursue actions as necessary to increase the entertainment industry's collective revenue.
Never fear though, the Bush administration is advocating a new law enforcement agency for aiding the citizenry. Already, they have allocated $4.32 in budget through fiscal year 2006...
I like the way you think. Would love to continue this discussion somewhere else, if you cared to.
Would it really, really fly? Like you said, a webcam might allow for more bitrate than a online checkers game. Viewing someone else's fishtank... I could see someone just leaving it up for hours. I don't know if the chinese secret police would believe it or not, but they just might.
Now here's the question, how do we give them an upstream? Online games have the advantage of being mostly bidirectional.
It would also be important to never repeat footage, but with a digital camcorder, you get 2 or 3 weeks worth of fishtank footage, formatted for cheesy webcam aspect ratio, and burn it to a dvd-r. Would also be important to be time authentic, that is if it's a US fishtank, it should be dark at the appropriate hour... all this is doable in software. Could even write some tools to make all this easier.
Much as you said, I don't know that it would be enough for a realtime network, but it might allow for a pop3 account.
But there are several problems with freenet, that will never go away.
Speed. Most broadband users on my network achieve a large fraction of their internet capacity. Freenet can't compete. And while my network is small, I have reason to believe it's going to scale.
Interface. We use IPv4, with IPv6 in a planning phase. Everything works on this. They have some absurd file-sharing system that works with a local http proxy, and no decent way to search it...
Moral objections. My network, you do what you want with your hardware. We have strict objections to people using the network for truly repugnant things, and the tools to kick them off.
Experimentation. My network isn't a protocol already laid down, but a loose framework. Plenty of room for something new... at this point, the 3 that come to mind are A) a new multicast protocol that takes advantage of our topology B) a new routing protocol and C) next generation IRC protocols with ubiquitous encryption and the features that the big 3 will never get around to implementing.
Try it out... I'd bet money you'd be as impressed with it as you are with freenet.

Agreed. dot test and dot example are fine for RFC's and text books, but do nothing for us folks who want a real, non-ugly sounding private TLD.
dot private and/or dot home would also be acceptable.
This comment needs to be read, and unfortunately I can't undo the troll moderation (have mod points, but I've already posted).
Hopefully, my own post will cast some light on it...

How about the Pancho Villa silent movie?
Is that something a bit more serious, something that is worthy of historical importance?
If not, what would be important enough? Or are you one of these people that thinks nothing is so important that it is worth saving?
"Lost to posterity" is fucking lame.
With 100 year domain renewals, it should be obvious to everyone, that it is no longer our network, if ever it was.
Doubt that there is a significant difference (significant to planet size, not significant to NBA careers). But for the record, even if only he can jump and reach escape velocity, not a planet.
How about enough of a gravity well, that if I were standing on the surface of it, and jumped upward, I couldn't reach escape velocity?
Or is that too practical?
The crux of the message on CMP's blocking page reads: "Unfortunately, we cannot satisfy this particular request because it comes from a source that is not authorized to redistribute our content..."
Since when is hyperlinking redistributing?
If you feel so sad, why not join me on my network? Invisible to your ISP, and unrestricted. We need people like yourself.
Yes, because freenet is a replacement for all those protocols. Haha.
