I have a local provider, and we work on the "Don't ask, don't tell" policy, Don't ask them to support your servers, fix your shit, or make them do extra work, and they don't tell us to pull down our servers. They specifically avoided the language in their EULA, and because it's ADSL, they don't have to worry too much about insane bandwidth charges. They cost about $5 more a month, but it's well worth it when some guy says to you "Here's the Internet. Enjoy" rather than "Here's the World Wide Web. NO FILESHARING! NO SERVERS! WE DO YOUR E-MAIL! WE BLOCK PORTS!"
If they were to go to IPv6, I'm sure that they will charge a small fee for a subnet, which I'll happily pay. I've told them this, and they seem interested, but it's not the right time for them. When some of their older equipment goes to end-of-life, they'll replace it with ipv6 shit, and then we'll get it.
Face it, they're rocketting around in technology that's 25+ years old. It's time to redesign from the ground up.
The U.S. just paid 75 billion on a war in Iraq, most of which was wasted money. I mean the fuel bill alone to send an aircraft carrier to the Gulf would set me for life.
Maybe they don't spend more money on Nasa is because in space there's nobody to kill.
Yes a lot of spam does come from those domains, but a lot of it also sells products to the U.S. or products in the U.S. Ban imports from those companies, shut down the local ones. Don't stop spam at it's source, stop it at its revenue stream. The spam will dissapear.
No most people would settle for that. The genral goupthink public want more! Hourly acid enemas, filleting the skin off of prisioners then covering them with salt, or exploratory surgery without the benefit of anesthetics or gags would be more fun to watch.

I'm going to burn my Karma in a sacrifice to this fine post!
And IRIX was dropped because IRIX admins are billions of years old and speak in tongues not known to this world. I wonder why BSD unix was covered? Anyone that runs *BSD knows all anyways. You don't believe me, just ask one.
Not all of them, because I run into those on the net every day.

Normally I'm the last one that can make a decision on someone's right to life, as I've abused and gambled with mine on several occasions, but I've got a gut feelig about this one...
I think that you'll find that, unless you give computers away, the people who don't have them won't accept them, and if you did give them awa, it had better work right out of the box, forever and be immediately easy to use for people who have trouble programming their VCRs.
In short, growth will stop when we hit the luddites and the elderly.
Your ideas validate my own and take me out of the "unabomber Nazi" category and place me directly in the "pinko commie" camp. At least I'm moving up in the world...
Don't shoot the messenger. I would say that the government ruined your day, and if that's all you got, you'd better count yourself lucky. Tomorrow might be better.
The politicians couldn't tack riders onto bills either a) completely unrelated to the bill itself, and b) designed to submarine a bill by being completely ludicrous?

And I'll drop my NAT box in a heartbeat.

I see the same problem in my hobby, marine aquaria.
I can see how computer literature can get out of date rather quickly, but if your publisher is missing evolutionary stages of fish, they're just slow!
The reviewer is saying that he is smarter than you. Hate him!
You are all diseased!
Yep, that's the one. In the poker game of life, I might be holding a pair of 2's, but I still got him beat.

Oh well, that's democracy for ya.
To hear them say it, yes.
Out of the datacenter market!
no, just a good job :)
Where do I sign?
an extra 32 bits. Duh!

Not only that, if you do anything really useful, Sony sues your ass because you reverse-engineered their dog's bios. Been on /. before.
then someone finds fault with it later.
And now we're supposed to trust 'Trusted Computing'?
You sure? Post your address here :)
