Envelope have been de-sealed and re-sealed before. Would you notice? Would you can enough to watch for every posible tiny detail? What if they just put the mail in a new envelop? Do you sing or certify the envolope you use?
Sealed envelop mean noting.
All gouverment should provide email to every citizen and make it acessible for free in poste office, library and other public acessible infrastructure where computer are avaible. People that do not own computer should have equal acess to their gouverment. This is a terrific idea.
Dude, err, what?
Governments don't have the manpower to open and re-seal letters in large quantities. One perl script could scan huge amounts of mail in a very small amount of time.
It's not practical to do physical tasks on millions or billions of physical items a day. It's practical and easy to read vast quantities of unencrypted email. That's all I'm saying.
Would you trust your government to be your mail provider?
Taco, you are a moron. Have you ever heard of the United States Postal Service? What the fuck do you think they do?
USPO delivers sealed envelopes. It's hard to open, read, and seal physical envelopes. It's trivial to read email in flight assuming people don't use PGP.
Oh... So... you're paying for "green" power, but what you get the same electricity everyone else gets... ok... now I'm with you.
You are paying to ensure that enough renewable electricity goes into the grid to cover what you use. If enough people do that ( which they do ) it's cost effective to build more renewable power sources. I believe most non-green providers around here are on 10% to 40% renewables anyway.
Same price? Don't they even charge a fee to come down and unhook you from the "dirty" wires and then reconnect you to the "green" wires?
It's all the same power grid. You take from the grid and pay a supplier to feed your share into the grid. It used to be one gird with one government nightmare supplier until it got deregulated.
The more important question is, how exactly does one "choose" a green energy source. I don't know about other parts of the world, but up here in Canada we generally only have one choice of power provider.
I get mine from greenchoice.nl. They claim it comes 100% from renewables and it's only a little more expense than the cheapest provider.
Ok, that's only an option for a few people but adding a few solar panels or maybe a windmill might be an option if you have the space and can afford the initial outlay. Shutting down things when you are not actually using them is also a good idea as are energy saving lightbulbs.

> Google blindly assumes everyone wants to work for Google.
Why would a company WANT to hire someone, who doesn't WANT to work for them?
Explain it to me slowly, because apparently I'm an idiot.
Companies would not want to hire someone that doesn't want to work for them. That's not what I'm saying.
I don't know what you see when you google for unix related things but I keep seeing ads from google telling me they are recruiting. I keep getting invites and messages from google recruiters on linked-in, I'm sure they have a whole bunch of staff messaging everyone with any Linux background on that site. Anyone with average IQ could find their recruitment site if they wanted to, they don't need to resort to cyber stalking! As far as I know no other company has ever used such predatory recruitment tactics.
Shhhhh! You'll disturb the childlike faith held by everyone who doesn't live in America, that America is the worst suck-ass place on the planet.
Ask any non-american if they know the attitude of which I speak. I'll bet they do.
I never said that and never meant that. Just because I don't want to move there doesn't mean i think it's a 'suck-ass' place, actually I'd love to go shopping there but the TSA nonsense keeps me away.
Look at Austin Meyers, he wrote the X-Plane flight simulator, beat Microsoft at it, and made millions of dollars. If you're smart, start your own business. It's not less work but you'll be your own boss and can choose your own work time and pace. In any case don't go for big stock market companies, they might sack you any time, managers will boss you around, the company gets all the copyright and credits, and it might get sold out at any time (see e.g. Sun).
This guy knows what he is talking about. Working for yourself is always better than being a pawn in someone else's political game. It's not easy money though.
Google blindly assumes everyone wants to work for Google. They are dead wrong. So they have 20% time? Big F-ing deal, I work for myself and would not have it any other way.
It reminds me of the way a lot of American's are utterly convinced that everyone wants to move to America.
- No server host gives you it by default (mine let me add it by clicking a button in the control panel).
Bytemark.co.uk do, I got a/64 without asking for it. I was quite impressed.
I've used a few virtual and dedicated servers over the years and no-one else has given me a IPv6 block without me asking or in most cases having to mess about with a tunnel.
..I'd let the guy connect his personal server to the network on the understanding that he is responsible for it, not me. I'd make sure it was connected to the right network port, then I'd light that port up with 110 Volts.
Just kidding.
Seriously the only real answer is to get that server out of the building and far away from the network and setup a calendar server correctly with monitoring and backups.
The whole TLD domain thing is seriously wrong and outdated, I think. I mean take the country codes... they have in many cases nothing to do with the actual country in which the servers are located. For example, "yousend.it" is an italian website?
TLD's are just a form of artificial scarcity. And this is a bad thing.
Country codes are being abused to hell because the whole system is now about extracting money from domain trolls and forcing multinationals to register their name in every domain in existence to fend off domain trolls.
Remember when Mr Elz was actually checking com.au registrations to make sure they were in fact registered to real companies? He got the boot to be replaced by corrupt money-grabbing bureaucrats who don't care if I register slashdotblows.com.au as long as they get paid. They really don't care if the data they serve is total BS.
We need an alternative DNS setup away from parasitic organizations. Actually we need an alternative internet away from parasitic organizations.
But until Slashdot does, you need IPv4 to access it, and NAT is the only solution. And you can replace Slashdot with millions of servers. Why is that hard to get?
Because it's untrue. NAT is not 'the only solution'.
Did you read the comment that you replied to and quoted? I said that deploying a v6-only network is not going to work at present because things like Slashdot are only accessible via IPv4. I've no idea how you got from there to 'Slashdot needs more IP addresses'.
You said third parties can't deploy on IPv6 because slashdot uses IPv4. There is nothing to stop any current site using both IPv4 and IPv6. There is nothing to stop you gatewaying IPv4 websites for your new IPv6 network although it sucks compaired to all IPv6.
Either way NAT isn't a solution to anything that needs solving.
It's a well known fact that asians only cheat, lie, and steal.
Asia covers a very large number of countries with very different world views and behavior. Saying they all behave the same is total nonsense.
I sugest you learn the difference between Indians, Chinese, Thai, Malays, and the other groups. I suggest your remark should be more targeted and better phrased.
It's necessary. There are still a lot of IPv4-only servers out there (like, for example, slashdot.org). If you deploy a v6-only network, then your users can't connect to them. You need something like NAT64 to allow v6 users to participate in the Internet. It's not a permanent solution, but it's better than just letting them communicate with the 0.02% of Internet hosts that have native IPv6 support...
Slashdot doesn't need more IP addresses, it already have enough IPv4 addresses. In any case we would likely get a better signal to noise ratio if slashdor was IPv6 only.
A/22 is pretty much nothing, so what you're saying is that an ISP looking for addresses can get pretty much nothing from APNIC. Thus, they're basically out.
A/22 is probably enough for a moderate-sized ISP to run NAT for all of their customers. Which is the point: IPv4 addresses are being rationed to the point where end users won't be able to get them any more. That's not *quite* the same thing as being out. IPv6 transition won't be mandatory, as long as you can do everything you want to do from behind NAT (as most users can).
NAT destroys the peer to peer nature of the network. It limits who can run servers of any type to those who are outside NAT.
Using NAT at the ISP level is basicly evil and should not be considered when we are going to need to deploy IPv6 anyway.

Cool! I agree.
Glad that's sorted.
So what do we do while we're waiting for everyone else to catch up on IPv6?
Tell the other technical people that we have a network free from adverts and lamers..

Network booting is probably the best solution here.
Using SAN disks would work quite nicely too. Either way you still end up with disks somewhere that will need to be cooled outside the oil bath.
Plus this setup uses at least 4 times the floor space of vertical racks.
This is a neat idea, but I don't see it working in practise.
