As usual, this just seems to be a case of stuff origionally designed for big expensive systems coming down to lower levels. IBM servers tend to have this functionality, hell on our F50 at work you can dial in using a modem when the AIX OS isnt running, the bios/firmware will take care of you. The AlphaPC164 i was jsut given suprised me by having a almost full unixlike OS as its firmware (SRM).
This has happened with SCSI, raid, SMP etc so it doesnt suprise me to find a BIOS that does more than normal, and in many cases it is a bonus, depending on wether it does certain things. I use serial consoles a lot, and would love to have a better way to talk to the computer at a really low level, without resorting to expensive hardware.
I remember reading somewhere once that fairuse is actually only available to you if you are able to carry it out, the manufacturers/publishers dont have to provide you with the ability to copy something freely or run/play that copy freely. This generally means that although cd protection schemes, DRM etc destroys what many on here think is fair use, it actually doesnt do anything of the sort. Now cd protection schemes that dont actually work, ie play in a audio player but not a pc are a totally differnet matter. As usual, i expect someone on here to clarify my position, wether its right or wrong etc.

IPv6 Friendly ISPs?
·
· Score: 3, Informative
I think currently there are only tunnel brokers who have a good eye on the IPv6 implementation for use by the general public. You may find that some of them do IPv6 native dialup, which is what the one i help run is considering providing.
Most ISPs will allow you to use gif tunneliing, or another form of tunneling so you can have tunneled ipv6 access via a tunnel broker, but beware, if your ISP bans vpns, they may take this as a vpn also (totally out of context) and stop all traffic.
Someone else on this story mentioned Oreillys IPv6 Essentials, which i also recommend. Its ISBN number is: 0-596-00125-8. It covers all you need to know, and more, so by the time you start actually using ipv6 rather than jsut running it alongside ipv4 on your lan, it works a treat.

For a complete matrix of ipv6 ranges right down to a/16 and the nubmer of ips in each range, check out powersource, who has a fantastic representation of the scope of ipv6.
How does your router not support it? all it has to do is pass the protocol 41 which is the IPv6 gif tunnel, and the vast majority of routers do this fine. No ports need forwarding, and infact on my home router and a number of other routers ive set ipv6 up on, needed no configuring at all to get the tunnel working.

Its fully usable, and is no longer experimental. There are a number of practical uses, although they vary from person to person. I use a ipv6 range for a number of different reasons, one of which is to protect me from attack when on irc (a ipv6 tunnel is a lot easier and more convenient to drop than your ipv4 connection:) ). The other reason is that you can assign IPv6 ips to machines behind a NAT gateway, and have fully routable addresses, which is handy if your broadband providor doesnt issue you with multiple ips.

The best way currently to use IPv6 is via tunnel brokers, who give you a range of ips (/64 or/48, both of which will vastly outnumber any number of electrical components in your house).
These work by creating a ipv6 GIF tunnel over ipv4, to a server which has either further tunnels to the 6bone or native connectivity. Once you have this setup (and its preety easy to do on Linux, Windows, and very easy to do on the BSDs) then any ipv6 traffic can be routed automatically. This way you dopnt need to use a gateway, and you can use pretty much any app over ipv6, including ftp, ssh, www, email etc.
Disclaimer: I help run ipng.org.uk, which is a UK tunnel broker, who gives you a/64 (thats 18,446,744,073,709,551,616 distinct ips:) ) and delegates full forward and reverse DNS to you for this range.
So your saying we should sue them because they are afraid of being sued or otherwise litigated against by a even bigger entity, like thats going to work:)
What are you on? Yeah it may be within YOUR rights to sell what YOU want, but it doesnt mean they have to let you use THEIR site to do it. Sheesh, why does everyone think they have a right to do anything, go anywhere regardless of who else it involves.
Ebay is well within its own rights to stop you selling whatever it damned wants, regardless of whether they are in so called collusion or anything.
They are not infringing on your rights at all, you can go and sell that same thing in a garage sale, or on the street corner. They can refuse your auction for the same reason a used record or book shop can refuse to buy your records/books.
Actually dont use openprojects at all. Either use freenode.net, which is what OPN morphed into, or visit www.oftc.net and grab their server list.
OFTC (Open and Free Technology Commmunity) is all about opensource and code sharing. Essentially it was created when OPN started asking for money, and has a elected council to run the network. As far as i know, we have no warez channels.
I've got a client who called me up at 9:00am on Saturday wanting me to go down and patch up their MSSQL Server 2000 server to keep their precious precious data safe
I had almost the same experience recently, except with Linux, Apache, SSL and a certain well known exploit. Its going to happen to the best of them, especially if noone applies a known patch. Just because its linux doesnt make it immediately better all of a sudden.
Im having huge problems with safari atm, one of their servers that seems to serve my portion of the internet is returning 0 byte replies, basically jsut header information and nothing else. I have emailed them and so far im getting no response. I can use it at work but my traceroutes end up at a totally different server, so im guessing they have round robin servers for different routes to their site.
Windows2000Pro only shows two as thats all it can handle. Its part of the Windows2000 limitation:
Windows2000pro - 2 cpus
Windows2000server - 4 cpus
Windows2000AdvServer - 8 cpus
We put win2kserver on a dual Xeon with HT, and it showed 4 cpus (this was when we realised we had HT capable Xeons! Suree enough, after checking, we were right)
My companies intranet (that i write) is valid xhtml1.0 transitional. Renders fine in IE5.5 and IE6 with minimal differences. In Phoenix (havent tried mozilla) its totally screwed. I asked in the phoenix forums about this and guess what they said:
The code may be syntactically correct, but it could be logically incorrect
Now is it me or does that sound like "Our browser doesnt support that unless its done in some wierd and wonderful way"?

not really, they are very easy to remember, certainly no harder than ipv4 addresses. as soon as you learn your range address, your fine.
Its very very easy. Give me a email on richard.price@ipng.org.uk and i will discuss it further with you!
