Okay, so let's say you're running a CDN, and you plaster the globe with HTTP servers, using a block of anycast addresses. Everything will go swell until a BGP update causes an anycast route to change. Boom, you've just invalidated all the active TCP connections to that region.
Maybe you could work around that by synchronizing the state of all TCP connections on all the servers around the world, but that doesn't even sound remotely scalable.
What if Gravatar published a public key, and sites displaying Gravatars pointed their image links to encrypt(gravatar_id + random_salt)? It seems like this would solve the problem, since people viewing the page can't get access to the users' real Gravatar IDs. Sure, the forum sites would still see your Gravatar ID, but they already have your email address in the first place.
This is bad advice. The WRT54GL is *not* capable of routing at much faster than 30Mbps, because the LAN and WAN ports are on the same switch, connected to one physical Ethernet interface.
You at least need a device with 2 physical Ethernet interfaces, like the ar71xx platform.
I'd like to see the experiment where they're entangled, one is dropped through a black hole's event horizon, and you observe the result on the other.
Wouldn't that be similar to accelerating one of the particles to near the speed of light? Particle accelerators are much more common than black holes around here.
Ah, yes, I had to do the "fix your database" thing yesterday. Based on the complexity of the guide, I'm guessing a lot of users will just wipe and reinstall everything, rather than attempt to go through that ridiculous manual process.
Exactly. If it's an all-IP network, you should just be able to buy a connection from your wireless provider, and buy voice service from whomever you want. That's how it works with fixed Internet connections today.
Actually, I was thinking more about that. A public online community will help you find all the real coordinates quickly, but there will undoubtedly be a lot of *fake* coordinates mixed in.
I think the real challenge won't be in finding the balloons, it will be in validating and filtering out all the non-balloons.

Got it. Here's a torrent:
http://www.legittorrents.info/index.php?page=torrent-details&id=26f463c791852abe4790e4b6b2dbe3fdab7b2413
Well, I'm at 155/262MB currently. I'll create the torrent myself when it's done (~ 11 minutes)
The link is here, but the file is 262MB.

Can someone set up a torrent?
If the XMPP protocol sucks, can't it be fixed? Surely the servers should be able to negotiate the latest supported version to enable new features.
Interpreted Java is pretty much always slower than C. Java with a JIT has the potential to be faster than C. That's why they're implementing a JIT.

You can't anycast HTTP, because TCP is stateful. If one of the endpoints starts routing to a different location, your connection craps out.
Lots of secondary DNS servers do use anycast, but that's not relevant here.
It seems IPv6 will be in use soon; so why tinker with DNS requests on IPv4?
Of course the extension supports IPv6. You'd have to be pretty dense to propose a new standard that doesn't.

Also, does anybody know how GEO locating an IP will be done on IPv6 (at least down to country level) ?
IPv6 geolocation will be done the exact same way as IPv4 geolocation: wild guesses and black magic.
Plus, 8.8.8.8 is easier to remember.

The number of Wikipedia editors is not declining. In fact, their population has tripled in the last six months.
Don't even bother trying to find a connection between reality and The Matrix. The machines already had fusion power.
I will be watching for Google employees ... on the Santa Clara campus.
Yeah, just look for the buildings with the big purple letters, you can't miss them.

Starcraft was not the first Starcraft:

our children will have to deal with global floating.
By the time global floating becomes a problem, we won't exactly have a globe anymore.
We live in a world where we can create power without also creating poison. That's awesome! That is the Star Trek future we could be living right now.
For what it's worth, they used nuclear power in Star Trek. Solar power doesn't work when you're traveling to other stars.

You think solar+electrolysis+fuelcell can be more weight/power efficient than solar+battery? I'm highly skeptical.
If Apple had really done accessibility well, then you wouldn't need to drop to a non-native resolution to increase the size of the UI elements.
Yep. Still as wonderful as ever!

The WRT54GL has 4MB Flash and 16MB RAM. While that's better than the stock WRT54G, it's still pretty tight for a distro like OpenWRT.
