Why should they? He's different from the idiot who's now in power and the senile fool who's the alternative. That's all anybody cares about.
Exactly. As a Brit, viewing from overseas, McCain looks pretty much the same as Bush. Old, rich, right-wing guy. So the election looks like: Vote for McCain, because you think Bush did OK. Or vote Obama, and hope that that guy has some intelligence, a more worldly view, and morals. Mind you, I thought in 2004 that the US population couldn't be *that* silly to re-elect Bush. Mind you - fool me once, shame on -- shame on you. Fool me -- you can't get fooled again.
I never understand this argument. Why does it have to be backward compatible?
You run the two protocols simultaneously for years, add AAAA records to DNS which get looked up and tried before A records, and when you notice that no-one is connecting to your services over v4 any more, you have a v6 only network.
Look:
$ telnet www.kame.net 80 Trying 2001:200:0:8002:203:47ff:fea5:3085... Connected to www.kame.net. Escape character is '^]'.
Try it yourself. Your box will look up the v6 address, try to connect, and if not, use the v4 address.
It's quite depressing really how people (mainly American, it seems) on Slashdot are so anti IPv6. They bleat on about NAT, and how there are loads of addresses, and why on earth would you want your fridge with an IP address. It's not just to do with the extra addresses. There. Did you get that?
Why should I read this FA if the author apparently didn't finish high school?
Because intelligence and wisdom have nothing to do with "finishing high school"? I've got nothing past GCSEs. Luckily for me, employers in the UK see past that.
Actually - has anyone ever tried to decode the pixelisation that is applied (so I'm told) to Japanese pictures? I reckon that information has been flowing right under our noses the whole time.
That post does show quite well what a silly decision it is. Standardise. Change a few things at a major revision to make stuff logical, well thought out. I can't see the logic to this decision at all.
I think their decision to use '\' is very very dumb one.
You've summed up my opinion concisely. That is *truly* retarded to use the (almost?) universal escape character for another reason. Almost as retarded as Microsoft going with \ for a directory separator.
Hmm - that's an interesting question. I've never seen one. How is the list maintained? Is the directory full of links, or does it look like the files are there?
Sort of like us carrying on breathing or our heart beating while we sleep. In fact, perhaps these birds hook their wing muscles up to their hearts, and dream of lovey things.
I think I've hit on it. Someone, give me a grant. A mill or two (GBP preferred but EUR or even USD accepted)
Nope, not in the UK at least.
Off the shelf is stuff you can pick up, take to the counter, and buy.
However, there are other drugs that don't need a prescription, but that you have to ask the chemist for, and they'll ask you a few questions to make sure you need it, that it won't interact with other drugs you might be taking, etc.
I think it should be a choice. When you hit 50GB, or whatever, they limit you to 64k for the rest of the month, *but* you can pay a fiver, and get another 10GB (or whatever). Mucho mas mejor.
When you can't spin the wheels. I.e. when the wheels aren't driving it. Also, when you can't do a handbrake turn, or theoretically drive it to the shops.
barely be out of cornwall. Then again, it's quite mountainous around there, so he would probably be quite high in the air by that point.
I think the term "mountain" in Britain is actually English for "small undulating hill". Ben Nevis is what, 1300 metres high. I might jog up it one day.
Slashdot Mirror
How can people know you're not running one without trying to connect?
95% of the unauthorized http accesses
Do you have a system for requesting authorisation for http accesses to your system? tcp/80 open to the world? Sounds authorised to me.
It's hard to say he wasn't successful the day after he won an election massively. They'd look foolish doing so.
Or modulated farting, for that matter.
Amplitude or Frequency modulation?
That, is a very insightful post. I hadn't thought about the legitimising aspect of things.
Aren't safes normally fastened to the floor? Or even embedded in the floor.
How'd they take it away?
It was a mobile home?

Well, I said it out loud a couple of times and nothing yet. Do I need bats' heads, or newts' tongues, or the like?
Yeah, it doesn't actually do much. Just lets me win willy-waving matches.

Sheesh - what the hell is that large amount of rambling text - some sort of mind-bending attack?
If you want data from the internet, somebody is going to need your IP address.
Not necessarily so. UDP packets with spoofed source addresses (if your ISP doesn't egress filter, which most good ones will).

Argh! The fastest laptime is a Dodge Viper.
I'll have to stop mocking American cars' handling now. Or something.
Same goes for Formula 1 cars -- if it weren't for wings which push down, they'd take flight.
Apparently, they can drive upside down at 150 mph, sticking to the roof by the downforce they'd generate.
