I read it differently; the article is not saying that ipv6 *should* not be adopted on these grounds, but that powerful, wealthy lobby groups will be pressuring impoverished, bribe-susceptible Washington politicians to have ipv6 declared a terrorist threat (or something nefarious like that).
yeah actually, it looks pretty crap; there are a LOT of craters on Mars, and unless one fills them in with hypothetical alluvial deposits, they tend to make up the bulk of the terrain features when you start adding 'sea level'.
Theres a huge ocean in the south, and the north is mostly crater lakes.
The top of the paper is bold and pro-MS, then as you read through it, the paper makes clear that where there is a difference in MS favor, it is closing rapidly in Linux' favor.
Mr Hitler was a fantastic orator? (who would doubtless have made a great comedian).
While I'm on the topic, its interesting that an entire moustache can be effectively banned around the world due to the actions of one man.
Unless you happen to be Robert Mugabe (anyone notice his chosen moustache style?).
Aerobraking for the moon?

I like this bit;
"Early July 2001: A Space Shuttle delivers to the International Space Station (ISS) components for the reusable 15.6-ton Lunar Orbit Stage (LOS) vehicle - a 30-foot-diameter aerobrake in seven segments..."
So they are going to use aerobraking to help the lunar descent? What kind of crack do they smoke at NASA?;) oh maybe I just misunderstand, not being a rocket scientist...
These days things move so fast that by the time you discover that you've bought a cheap piece of crap and noticed that its already getting flakey, the next generation of hardware is on the shelves and its time to buy a whole nuther one anyway.
And if I were working in tech retail, that would be the moment that I would loudly go "*Ka-Ching!*" and make a downward yanking motion with my right fist.
"Sorry, I can't see you over there, I have huge great dollar signs in my eyes".
I've often wondered about the demographic consequences; it looks to me as if the last time the gulf stream shut down, North Africa was a lot wetter than it is these days.
I wonder about a scenario where Europeans migrate there in vast numbers to start farming the erstwhile Sahara desert!
That Gibraltar strait tunnel planned between Spain and Morroco (IIRC) would help a lot!
But what will the North Africans think about some reverse-migration?:)
But as for Europe; their energy needs are going to soar through the roof when the gulf stream stops; every home will need big muthafucker central heating and ummmm maybe the arable land will have to be fitted with subsoil heaters to stop it from turning into *tundra*.
Either Europe will become *more* oil dependent, or they will find an alternative source of energy or *maybe* they will migrate to, say, North Africa?
No actually I'd say that nothing is worth doing the work of evil for. (Too often, otherwise good people feel themselves compelled to acts of evil, either they lack the imagination to find an alternative or they are blackmailed by evil forces and wind up being the pawns of evil and therefore evil themselves).
As for oil, rather than fighting, it would be a better expense of effort and money to find an alternative, no?
After all, the war machine which is used to fight for oil is powered by oil... and one is trapped by ones own intransigence.
For one thing, without a regular oil supply, there would be millions of starving Americans.
The oil supply is for more than just fuelling stealth bombers and SUVs; the trucks that take the basic foodstuffs to the shopping malls need it too.
If the oil supply to the USA could be halted for long enough, they could be reduced to the level of a third world country. But then again, so could almost any nation.
Would the Earths liquid core be subject to Lunar tidal forces just as the oceans are...?
Given the difference in viscosity between the liquid water oceans and the liquid magma core, maybe there are some ummmmm 'beat frequency' effects or something like that? (where the two tidal systems periodically go in and out of sync)
"(* voting is compulsory in Aussie. Very democratic, that).
No, it's compulsory to turn up to the polling station. It's not compulsory to vote."
Oh well thats not so bad. I'd had visions of poor confused Aussies trying to smuggle dice into the polling station for those times when you just *can't* decide (on relative merit) who to vote for:)
And free trade agreements with the USA tend to be unidirectional...
and I sure as HELL wouldn't trust them with nukes.
They'd probably nuke Nauru just to rid themselves of a refugee problem. Or pre-emptively nuke Indonesia 'just in case they were developing their own nuclear programme'.
No mate, Aussie is in the same league as the US of A.
(For Aussies reading this; prove me wrong at your next general election; you have* to vote anyway so you may as well get it right).

wouldn't a stego'd image be indistinguishable from one that had been recompressed?
would use so much bandwidth?
Why should our ability (or lack thereof) to think something be any guide to whether or not that something is true, false or banana?

And that is exactly what some of these MS funded papers actually wind up saying. I just read one;
lower staffing costs
The top of the paper is bold and pro-MS, then as you read through it, the paper makes clear that where there is a difference in MS favor, it is closing rapidly in Linux' favor.
Except web servers where Linux is already ahead.
Doubtless MS will be sueing these guys soon.
Yeah Lucifer, the bringer of Light.

Christian propaganda has been effective over the last 1500 years eh.
I still think he would have made a great comedian. Maybe Jewish jokes just wern't trendy at the time? :-/
He missed his vocation. He could have gone down in history as the greatest standup comic that Germany had ever known.
Terrific 'tash and hairstyle for it.
The source of Me should be taked out and shot!
Or put through a shredder, the hard drives on which it was stored incinerated. You get the idea.
damn fashists...
Windows are great!

No kidding; some of this stuff weighs in that heavily. This was before fibre channel too.
Think Balrog scenes done with particle simulations... (it didn't last).
I'd let neither Dell nor Microsoft know; it probably violates their EULAs in more ways than a Lawyer can count!!! ;)
