Well, of course it is needed for those of us with more than 4 billion tech gadgets!
Truthfully, IPv6 really needs to be at the ISP level before it is of any use to the end user. When the ISPs start to use it, then they can give each customer a block of 1000 static IPs...and then you will have to figure out what you are going to use 1000 static addresses for...
While in college I became an intern at a large fortune 500 company. As interns we used net send to chat between the various interns. We also discovered that you could net send to an entire workgroup. What we decided to do was place all our intern machines in the same workgroup so that we could chat to all interns more easily. However, it wouldn't work right, only sending to machines near your own.
Anyway, we came to the conclusion that workgroups would not traverse a subnet. To test our theory we placed a few machines on a seperate subnet and proceeded to net send to our default workgroup (which we didn't realize was the site domain). Well, net send to a workgroup will not traverse a subnet, but net send to a domain sure as hell will... Anyway, 2000 net send messages later, and a good talking to by the domain admins we were a bit wiser.

Alright, the link is kinda weak, but I couldn't find anything better.
You got a vcr? Then you can record. What it pretty much comes down to is, if you can see it and hear it, you can record it. Now, granted, it might not be digital quality, perfect replica, but you can still record it. For some reason the media industry doesn't seem to quite understand this yet...
Hell if telephone companies thought that they could push TV over twisted pair they would be talking about it too.
Actually, telephone companies are already looking into this using vdsl. Hardware such as this TUT Sytems can be used to send out several tv channels, internet, phone and more.
If it is in the companies best interest, it should be the company that does it to protect their interests. If it does not effect the companies bottom line, why should they be forced to do it? The government should not enforce it, free markets should.
However, I am not from Canada, so I really have no say in such a matter.
No offense, but I don't want to be partially responsible when someone abuses something I have written. Sure, you will say, "write better software" but the thing is, even perfectly written software, when used for something it was not designed for, can have bad effects. Should we blaim the person who wrote ping if it is used in some sort of denial of service attack?
Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't this just a distributed messageboard. Or maybe closer to an anonymous mailing list. You send out a message and it gets sent to a bunch of machines...
Like several others here, I don't understand the legal issues. Slashdot is a central server architeture, yet slander abounds. How is this different then a distributes storage slashdot?
From what I can see, this is just a better way of providing water based cooling. The action of water moving through the system doesn't magically destroy heat. All it does is move to to another location where it can be more easily dispered (by a fan or something to that effect). Sure, you could run water through the clothing, but you would still need a mechanism to remove the heat from the water.
I know that the parent was meant to be funny, but there is some truth behind it. This could make work testing / debugging cluster computing software a heck of a lot easier. Obviously the performance would not be there, but the ability to simulate multiple computers without needing access all the time to the multiple computers could be helpful.
Then again, you could probably just run several copies of the same process in one environment, but it would be nice to be able to simulate the seperate user space that multiple computers has.
I went to UW Madison where Sun made a massive donation to the CS department (ultra 60s...flat panel displays. Was a wonderful sight). I guess what I am saying is that it goes both ways. Macs were known for selling to k-12 (although it didn't really work for them for whatever reason).
The truth of it is, a lot of development in the real world is done on MS Windows, you may as well teach people how to program correctly in it.
Yeah, well, I guess you get to join the rest of us from minnesota then. In the past two years I have had a 5% pay cut and lost benefits. Why should government workers get raises when no one else in the state is?
Dang it, tried to use tags when I shouldn't have. There should have been a reference to "net send" in the last post. Just go to the command prompt and type "net send" to get the syntax.

Yeah, I was looking at this too as a mythtv frontend to a mythtv server. Anyway, in my exploration I found this site:

I would say they are out a couple grand. They could have gone to court but decided to pay instead. Pretty much that money is gone.
There might be a case for a counter-suit though...

No, there is still a question mark:
1. Market defective product
2. Watch the news
3. Sue the messenger
4. Realize the messenger is a student with no money
5. ???
6. Profit
Well, this really wouldn't work...
