I'd say at the time it was more that the US military didn't feel like giving the Communists an IP address on the DARPA built conglomeration of networks that were in use in the US. In another round of paranoia, they didn't give the Communists the access codes to the nuclear missle sites, or the spare set of keys for NORAD.
Really, China could just start assigning IPv6 addresses from a certain "Class A" number (whatever is appropriate for IPv6), and tell the rest of the world to piss off. They can say they need addresses before they can get more computers installed, so they are doing what they have to towards that goal. It's not like we could stop them from using them, and it would be silly to then give that address range to a Western business, knowing that there will be IP address conflicts. Since there are so many addresses available, they could easily find an unassigned block to use.
I feel 2 is a good answer, but I wouldn't want to make anyone feel offended if they felt it should be 3. That would not be compassionate, and us conservatives are very compassionate people. Now excuse me while I figure out this "Pies are round" punchline.
That saying makes sense. Who would a layperson listen to most?
A: A person in a nice tidy lab smock, without any smudges, smoke stains, or rips, who says "Don't touch that wire to this terminal without first making sure the power source is securely in the OFF position."
B: A person with wild bug eyes, frizzled hair with wisps of smoke coming off the top, several flash burns on his rather ragged smock, and a nervous tik in the left eye, who says "Don't do THIS", while touching the wire to the terminal with a large spark, "if the power is on. Trust me, I know what I'm talking about." (Insert line about space-time continuum and flux capacitors here.)
Whose 'expertese' will win out for most people? I know who I would listen to, and who I would figure is just reading safety warnings from a manual, and has never really decided to see what happens if you do touch the wire to the terminal with power applied. Actually, the Safety reps in the military were like that, never actually checking to see if the warnings were relevent or accurate, just blathering out whatever the regulations said. To the extent that they told us we couldn't have the cover off a terminal while it was on, even though we had to tweak the pots for focus, v-hold, and such while it was on so we could see what the text looked like. "Safety regulations say the cover has to be on and secured before powering on the terminal."
"A new set of skins, is about as innovative, as the aliens got in original Star Trek."
That's funny, I tell people one of the letdowns of the newer Star Trek, and other scifi shows, is that the aliens are basically all "just humans with prostheses glued on their faces." Some are very complicated costumes, but still bipeds, with overall bilateral symmetry. It's like the guys thinking up new creatures say "I know, let's take the alien we used in episode 54, paint him blue, with larger ears. He will look so original." I know the original Star Trek had the same limitations, but it was a low budget show from the 60s. I would expect more originality from modern shows. Not just humans with "a new set of skins".
Why can't anyone have a creature as original as the Puppeteers from the Ringworld universe? Or any number of other creatures from scifi and fantasy books, or even mythology?
Neverhood, played it very little, but my stepson finished it.
Fork in the Tale, (with voice talents of Rob Schnieder), hilarious, don't think I finished it, but the boy did.
Thief, great spin on the FPS market, never finished it either.
Risk, computer version of the board game, played the hell out of that in the mid 90s, goal, take Australia first, then Siam.
But, I don't play on the computer much either. The other games I've played routinely are Warcraft II, Heroes of Might and Magic II, and Daggerfall. I've played Doom, Descent, Quake, Delta Force, and others like them, but they get boring too quickly to really stay with them.
Yeah, ever notice how the bullets are measured in metric. 9mm 7.62mm 5.56mm
But wait, those are just rounded off values of regular caliber measurments.
9mm ~.357, as in 357 Magnum 7.62mm ~.30 5.56mm ~.22, and everyone's heard of the 22 caliber rifle in some old western movie.
So even some of the metric measurments we use in the US are just the approximate equivalent of a standard measurment.

Sure we can find it on the map. It's that large shape right in the middle, with water at the left side and right side of the map, and Canada above us and Mexico below us. It's the easiest thing to find on the map.
The only confusing thing is why is Alaska so cold, when it is sitting down there next to Mexico, with Hawaii in between them?
It may have been absurd 30 years ago, Opie. Now though that situation is common enough that it is a justification for my doing anything in my powers to prevent it. I never said that every break-in is an attempted murder or rape, just that I have to assume that a particular break-in in my house will be one. And actually, while an intruder may only want my TV, if I interrupt him he may decide he has to kill me because I could identify him. So, BANG, I'm dead.
Do you honestly think that every person who is willing to break into someone's house to steal their TV, is above doing a more serious crime such as assault, rape, or murder?
That's why everyone should realize a certain truth. It isn't really "Pay or Die". It is actually "Pay now and die later, or die now". I can't quite get over the simplistic mindset of "If I don't take this medicine I will die." Even if you do take the medicine, you will die, just maybe not so soon. I for one would rather not wipe out our savings and put my family into debt, just to keep living a while longer.
What really amazes me though is that so many people blame "the doctors" or "the drug companies" for the high cost of medicine. Almost everything costs as much as the consumer will pay, from candy bars to tickets to a sports game. Blame the people who insist on every medical procedure known to man in the vain attempt to be immortal. If people seriously told the medical establishment that the costs are too high, the costs would come down. But we will never see a boycott of medicine, will we?
First, I don't think it was in Texas. Second the student knocked on the guy's front door, and the guy shot him. The student wasn't inside the house, with or without permission, or even trying to steal the guy's truck or lawn gnomes.
I think the guy's reason for shooting a stranger who knocked on his door is that he lives near a prison, and over the years, escapees have been on his property, and possibly tried to break in, or knock then force their way in.
As for the other part of the argument, if an intruder is in my house, their life is in my hands. I don't care if they claim they only want the TV, or a drink of water. I also don't care if they are armed or not. I have to assume the intruder wants to kill me, rape my wife and daughter, then kill them, and steal our TV. Because that is what can happen, and does all to often. My responsibility is to keep it from happening. And I am not going to try to only incapacitate an intruder. I will do my best to remove the threat to my family, which will only be done by killing the intruder. Of course, in reality, I will probably only see the person's back as they head out the door, but they better not have anything of mine on them.
Yes, death to sexism, for it is a terrible attitude to have.;^)
You meant "euphamism", for future reference.
But it actually reminds me of a story my high school English teacher told us when we were given an assignment to write a 'persuasive paper'. We had to advocate for something, such as lower taxes, death penalty, abortion, civil rights, euthanasia, or other issue. Everyone had to have a different topic, so in class we thought of a couple dozen, and everyone said which one they wanted.
A few years earlier, one person decided he liked the topic of 'euthanasia' when he heard it, so he called it and wrote it down. When he turned in his paper supporting oriental children, the teacher was confused. It took a while to figure out he was advocating 'Youth in Asia'.
The problem is that the law abiding citizens within the city don't drive to those other states to buy a gun that would be illegal within NYC. I doubt if all the gang-bangers drive to West Virginia to buy a Smith & Wesson. They can get them within three blocks of their home, and probably with three floors of their apartment.
When women stop accepting 70% of a man's salary for doing the exact same job, women will stop getting paid 70% of a man's salary for doing the exact same job.
Why would any boss pay a person more than that person asks for? And for that matter, how many of those bosses are women now, and still paying the women under them less then the men? And of course, lately, those women may still have a job, while the more expensive men are part of the downsizing.
"Its small size and narrow armholes are intended " to only prevent 20% of the women in the country. Quite honestly, my mother and sisters should sue any company that manufactures this coat, if that is how it's made. Why should they be left vulnerable to attacks, just because they aren't shaped like supermodels?
Good point paganizer. Today, a 'legal' white-hat can only work between two computers he has setup in his own apartment connected with Cat5 and a hub, seeing what their hostnames are, because anything more in-depth has been outlawed as computer terrorism. So, anyone who really tries to understand the products their friends, family, or customers use is a black-hat, even though they are just trying to find security holes or hidden features. The difference between white hat and black hat used to be the person's incentives and actions, now it's whether Disney/RIAA/Adobe/Intel/etc have bought a new law.
"there are other things to consider such as legal/financial liability and loss of insurance coverage."
Pussy.
No, I'm not trying to flame you, it's just you are a pussy if this is the _most_ important part of your hiring decision in a case like this. You don't have the guts to hire someone that will do the job, because you are afraid that a lawyer will use it against you. Great, the lawyers have already wone, thanks to pussies like you.
I was just reading your comments, and would like to use some of them in a book I'm writing. The artists who preach white power and equality, respectively, is a great analogy to this whole open source and closed source debate.
So, may I use your comments in my book that is going to show how silly open source supporters are, and the viral nature of open source. I will make sure your name is prominently displayed as a contributer to the book, so that all of the open source advocates see how helpful you have been to me with my mission of enlightening America's CEO about the benefits of a fully Windows corporate world.

You point your gun at me, and rob me.
At least, that is the situation a thousand times a day right now.
