the vote in 2000 was so close, that it was well within the margin of the number of people who think helplessly like you and therefore don't vote, when they actually could have made a difference and gave us al gore instead of gw bush... if they actually voted
I live in Texas, If everyone I've ever met hadn't voted, and I drove each one to the polls to vote for gore, It wouldn't of mattered.
The problem is the system, Why are we still using the electoral collage?
Oh for a mod point. I've come to look at the election process as voting for Coke or Pepsi when all I want is a glass of water. Transparent and no artificial additives.
Screw that, I want a Dr. Pepper. And go ahead and Bomb Iran while getting it for me.
Flying is a privilege, not a right. If you concerned about your freedoms and privacy, then drive or take the train instead of flying. It's not like you don't have options.
I for one am happy they are taking a more proactive roll in screening passengers on flights. It's also MY RIGHT to feel some assurance that the guy sitting next to me isn't planning on hijacking the plane.
Personally I think they shouldn't let anyone on a plane with really big hands.
If I was advertised a certain rate on the website and then they turned around and said "actually, the real interest rate is 5%", I'd tell them where to go.
When you see an advertised interest rate, this rate will be footnoted with the acronym "O.A.C.". Perhaps you should look up what that means...
So a previous president lost the biscuit for months at a time. That is the president would have been unable to authenticate to military command that he was giving a launch order. Why was that not considered a problem? When 50 missiles going into a still usable but wacky state is?
The president losing the launch codes is a little harder for the reds to exploit then possibly a systematic failure
The Canadian election system limits campaign spending to roughly $20 million per major party. The full amount of money allowed in our election is somewhere around $60 million. It costs more to actually run the polling booths. We have a population roughly one tenth of the US. Taking a rough stab at it, you're spending $2.5 Billion for your midterm elections. Or about four times the amount per capita as us.
Additionally, in our system, a large percentage of that is publicly funded. And the maximum corporate donation is $1000. We have problems with corporate interests and lobbyists in Canada. You guys don't have a problem with it: you're OWNED by corporate interests.
The Supreme Court said that corporations and unions must be treated as individuals. This is a radical extension of corporate power that is almost unknown in the rest of the world, and certainly something our Founders would be shocked to find.
Just because people chose to exercise their right to assemble into a group, does not mean they have to give up their other rights. The Corporation only has the powers of the individuals that own it.

I concur, I posted on a page where I'm sort of an expert in the field and it got reverted.... I even had references, even though it wasn't that linked up, it could of easily been wiki-ified. After that I haven't made an edit to Wikipedia since, It isn't worth my time to provide that useful info if no one will ever see it.
Nah the router just adds a prefix on the way out, and subtracts it on the way in, Kinda like how 6to4 works.
How can the router know which prefix it is supposed to add on the way out?
The Same way it works in IPv4.... Subnetting.
Just use the IPv4 Address for the last 32 bits and use the router's public Network address for the rest of it.
Developing 6to4 was one of the main things holding back IPv6 for quite sometime.
And how would you propose to tell all the IPv4-only apps out there to "just add an exchange number"? Oh, right, you have to modify and recompile them all to so that they will know how to do that.

This should of been thought of before rfc 2460 was published
That's the dumbest thing I've ever heard. Every one of those changes would require just about as much conversion energy as switching to IPv6 does now. If we're going to have to go through that, we sure aren't going to do it just to add another octet. And then do it again. And again.
I don't know where the idea comes from that a conversion to a smaller address space is less of a pain than conversion to a big address space.
NAT wasn't re-invented, it was UN-invented, which is a *good thing*. In any case it's still possible. DHCPv6 is certainly available for you to use, although you now have the option of not needing it.
Backwards compatibility is a good thing.
Say we used 64 bits rather then 32. When you requested had an "AAAA" record and just requested the "A" record the server would just send out the first 32 bits of the address. Simple and easy. and no going to the IPv6 version of a website
Instead of extending IPv4 logically, The engineers must of thought, 'well IPX to IPv4 wasn't hard, We'll just start over from scratch'
We've gone through the need to increase address spaces before, From time_t, to CPU address spaces. No where has it been as big of a change as IPv6. My argument isn't that it's not an improvement, but that the lack of adoption is directly correlated with the increase in complexity.
I mean can you even imagine if intel or amd said, 32 to 64 forget that we're going to use 128bit chips? Oh and we're axing SSE because you don't need it with that large an address space.
Eh, that's a lot of toasters to use up 3.4*10^38 addresses. If a toaster takes up a square metre (big toaster), you'd have to stack them ten billion high over every single metre of the Earth to use them up.
I think the Fucking Problem with IPv6 Adobtion is they fucking tried to fix everything wrong with the internet!
Why did they do this? I mean When we ran out phone numbers the first time we just added an exchange number, when we ran out again we just added a area code, then a country code and so on.
Why didn't they just add an extra octet? or even just double the address space from 32 to 64?
But seriously, They over-engineered IPv6 and are now asking why it took so long to adapt? Did you really need to reinvent NAT? And why get rid of DHCP? Next thing I know they're going to tell me when I switch over to IPv6 my Kitchen sink will be redundant.

If you are on the Galaxy S like I am, Froyo started rolling out today in the UK - hoping the US is not far behind.
If you have root like I do, you probably have had froyo for months

People started taking dogs and cats as pets and you don't exactly see them going extinct.
Why not just get delivery?

If you want "cable without a isp", just get cable without an isp.
Hunh? Is there some service I don't know about where I can watch HBO without a Cable, Satellite, or Telephone Provider?
not just HBO, But cable like content in general. I mean I know I can torrent it, But.... yeah....
nah there is a general problem.... how can i get cable without a isp?
But I just donated 50 EUR to WikiLeaks.
Just letting you know you might be on the no fly list now

No. And your post is OR.

We have the 6to4 transition mechanism, which is basically what you're describing: an IPv4 address encoded in an IPv6 address.
The thing is 6to4 came out 4-5 years after IPv6
