    Following that logic - i.e. that talking while driving is distracting ..... .... do we then require people in the passenger seats to wear gags?

  7. How can this be? on How Google Avoided Paying $60 Billion In Taxes · · Score: 1

    I thought the Google being a good solid liberal company - Obama's number 5 contributor - would do the good American patriotic thing and pay confiscatory tax rates on it's profits .... I am so disillusioned now *sob*

  16. No real scarcity yet on At Current Rates, Only a Few More Years' Worth of IPv4 Addresses · · Score: 5, Interesting

    I just helped out a friend who lives in a remote rural section outside of Chicago. I tried for years and years to get her lit up on decent broadband service.

    Finally, we got a relay from a WiMAX provider --

    When I went to connect her broadband with a Cisco router - I discovered that she was assigned a FRIGGIN /27 of public numbers!! (i.e. she now personally burns 32 usefull IPV4's)

    I was gonna call their support ... but why bother?

    You never know if she's gonna need 30+ public ip numbers right? Just because she lives alone - she may get many friends real soon!

    Assuming that this is true - all the bots would be contained inside China

    If they unleashed the botnet on something outside China

    1) Would it not just crush the internal network(s) inside China?
    2) Would it not just crush the connections to the rest of the world?
    3) Would it not just crush the massive control and filter systems?
    4) Would it not just super easy to identify and quarantine?

    What am I missing here?

  25. National Law on Mississippi Passes Law To Ban Traffic Light Cameras · · Score: 1, Troll

    Who would have thought that Mississippi would blaze the trail of liberty

    We need this law on a National Scale

    We need to do this while we are still a somewhat free people!

    There is nothing more obnoxious to freedom than a fucking robot camera issuing moving violations

    Not sure why it causes such a violent reaction - but it does - every time I see one, I start with the fantasies of getting some C4 and a blasting cap and BOOM!!! no more robot camera!
