Your ISP could still issue you a router with a firewall that's locked down pretty tight by default. Just because you have a globally routable IPv6 address doesn't mean your router has to let every packet through. What exactly are you worried about losing?
My family's first home computer was a C64. My dad brought it home when I was 6, in 1984. I got my start coding when I learned how to make the background and the border change color by POKEing 53280 and 53281. Sprites were a non-threatening way to play with graphics. The SID chip was pretty easy to code for as well. I even tried my hand at 6502 assembly when I was 10. Never did much there, though...
When I was 10, dad finally broke down and bought an XT clone. It's been Intel ever since for me, but I'll never forget you C64. Thanks for the memories!
"My wife wants me to have sundays off" is NO different from "My god wants me to have sundays off" really, from an objective viewpoint
Maybe not, but the US Constitution protects you in the first instance, not in the second. Of course, there's nothing to stop you from founding a constitutionally protected Church of the Unreligious Sabbath whose only tenet is that its adherents refrain from work 1 day in 7...
I happen to believe that nations are the product of a shared identity, whether through ethnicity (most nations) or a consensus of civic values (ethnically pluralist nations like the US and, increasingly, western Europe). One of the problems with the original Yugoslavia was its attempt to force together a number of disparate populations that didn't really have much of anything in common, except geography.
After reading over the CY constitution, I wonder whether a bunch of geeks (who always get along, as on/., and who are never prone to religious fanaticism) can really build a nation with such a radical democratic structure.
Then again, it's hard to take seriously any organization whose constitution contains the words "Secretary of Coca-Cola"...
