Libel and slander are already crimes, or at least civil offenses. Again it should be no more okay for me to slander or libel you for one reason than another.
Why should it matter if I tell people you are rapist, when you been convicted of no such crime, for say commercial advantage, than say because I don't like what color you are? Either are clearly wrong. The test is and should be for truth, the harm is effect the false claim has on your reputation, the penalty should reflect the harm. Its not additionally harmful to your reputation if I also call you a N***, K***, or whatever, its harmful to mine.
Okay, if its illegal for employers to collude to keep salaries low, than it must be illegal collusion for employees to join unions and collude to keep salaries high. I am totally okay with that. Oh you wanted a double standard?
The captain does not have to go down with the ship. He is responsible for everyone on the ship however. He *SHOULD* be the last one off. Its HIS JOB to make sure everyone gets off.
it's hard as hell to figure out the line between someone exercising their right for free speech and someone inciting violence
No its not, statist ass holes want to propagandize you into thinking that is the case but its not true. inciting violence pretty much means a direct threat of some kind, which *IS* assault, or telling someone else to make such a threat or take such action.
Unless you are actually out there saying something equivalent to "lets lynch the...." its not inciting anything. Even "I think the... should all be lynched." is not inciting anything.
The simple fact is hate crimes, and hate speech laws are nothing but immoral censorship. That is right anyone who supports hate... whatever laws in my option is just someone who is against freedom.
Every crime that is "hate" crime is a crime in and of itself already. Assault, battery, etc are all crimes already. They are crimes because they violate the rights and security of others. They are not more or less wrong because of the perpetrators reasons. All people are equal, its no more wrong for me to beat you because I hate what you are than it is for me to beat you for any other reason.
This is supposed to be a nation of free people, that SHOULD include the freedom of some to hate. What its does not include is the freedom to act on that hate when it violates the rights and freedoms of others.
I also think your comparison is a bit unfair. That $400 iPad maybe more expensive than a $30 textbook, but most students above elementary school carry 5-7 textbooks. That brings the costs much closer to inline.
The trouble is unless Apple is going to get into the education text book market, (they wont) they are going be a distributor. They will have some influence over the price but they won't be setting the price. Next Apple will likely demand their 30% cut. Novels in e-book form seem to be discounted at most 20% off their dead tree equivalent at final retail. So odds are that $30 text will still cost $24 or given a little bit less elastic market than fiction, it might still be closer to $28. So us tax payers will be buying every brat an IPad AND still paying almost as much for text books. There is not savings there.
The next issue most text books get used between 5 and 10 years, what will license on these e-texts be, my guess is we will get to pay over and over again for each kid, each year.
Other than perhaps finding sploits in Symantec itself no I don't expect looking at virus removal code to be terribly useful to those developing malicious code.
Look yes the AV stuff gets its hooks in pretty deep but until they start implementing their own filesystem drivers and stuff like that (they don't, not on desktops anyway) then there is a finite set of APIs and syscalls they can use. They are mostly documented, or otherwise known. Reading the source to Symantec's AV scanner is not going to give you a lot of insight into how to write something it can't clean up.
As I pointed out in my original post there are problems.
Again this require a little more smarts in the router, after you build a fake_ipv4ipv6 pair you keep a table, whenver a packet comes through on the flow you update a $tombstone value with the current time, periodically you have a thread the sweeps the table and drops entries where (now() - $tombstone) > DNS TTL. Sounds complex but things like netfilter already similar facilities like xt_recent and those little home routers are getting more powerful every so it will be okay.
You could do all this on a dumb little consume box, and I think you could make them work okay for PCs, tablets, an settop boxes using the WWW most of time. It will certainly be very broken for other applications, and there are plenty of websites that do use shitty load balancers that send browser redirects to IP rather than DNS address. Still its better than leaving those v4 only devices with no ability to connect to v6 hosts.
Its possible one could build a "dynamic" 4to6 gateway. I get a ipv4 DNS request from a client, discover only AAA records exist. Store the IPv6 address (stateful) create and store a bogus ipv4 address for which the client will use you as a gateway. Create a flow from ipv4addr.port to ipv6addr.port with a keep alive; Send the ipv4 address to the client as the dns reply. Pretty much what overloaded 4to4 NATs do today with the added DNS parts.
The trouble is if DNS is not used how do you determine what v6 host to connect to? I suppose for the most part anything not using DNS you could create static NAT entries for. Desktop users running web browsers will be mostly ok.
I think for a lot a deployments 6 only everywhere you can with a gateway for legacy stuff and the Ipv4 internet.
You need two things,
1. A 6to4 Nat gateway That way you can run one stack on most of clients. When they need to talk to an ipv4 only host, they route via the 6to4 gateway. Its the router for a/96. It assumes the last 32 bits of any destination address are the ipv4 address, and forwards the payload via ipv4.
2. A slightly smart DNS, that when there is no AAA records for a given host, it returns the local network address with the 32bits from the ipv4 portion, to produce a host address. Obviously this could be an issue for DNSSec so you'd need you clients to trust an enterprise certificate or something so the server could sign the re-sign the request after validating up stream.
I think that would make migration go much faster at many sites; but there does not seem and solid packages out there to do the job.
NTFS supports softlinks, (junction points) its just none of the user land stuff that ships on the Windows platform knows how to deal with it.
Explorer for instance can't create them, and indicate that something is a link, and can't correctly total up disk usage for a tree if you have used them in that tree.
There are some NTFS features for which Microsoft plans to drop support with ReFS, specifically named streams, object IDs, short names, compression, file level encryption (EFS), user data transactions, sparse, hard-links, extended attributes, and quotas, Verma blogged. That said, one of Microsoftâ(TM)s goals with ReFS is to âoemaintain a high degree of compatibility with a subset of NTFS features that are widely adopted while deprecating others that provide limited value at the cost of system complexity and footprint,â Verma said.
Umm ethanol is used in summer fuel, MTBE is used in winter. And yes the math says you should get more energy out of the MTBE mix.
Given you get the opposite of the expected result and the results I have observed everywhere I measured and also don't seem to know when which type of fuel is used suggests to me that.
1. You don't what you are talking about and just blindly hate ethanol because someone told you to, which is sad because ethanol as a fuel additive really is dumb.
2. You can't measure properly, or other factors are at work. Like you tend to idle more in winter, your tire pressure is likely to be lower.
Maybe, but Monsanto will make a Roundup Ready Sorghum
One good thing about growing crops to make ethanol for fuel is it probably does not matter so much if their are bugs and other pests in it.
Unless those pests get to a degree of concentration their decomposing corpses foul up the yeast producing the ethanol or gum up the machinery in your plant who cares? Those are largely engineering problems, and could be solved mechanically. Unlike food products it really does not matter what the plants end up looking like, as long as the little microbes are willing to eat them.
The conspiracy theorist in me wonders if Monstanto and friends are behind the insistence corn be the primary input for ethanol production, its something they control, and can continue to control. Where if some other grass or fast growing weed like Kudzu were used they lose the fuel portion of the agg market because nobody would care about the quality, only quantity, and traditional selective breading techniques are pretty damn effective if the only trait you care about is growth rate.
Regulations kill jobs! Europe's tougher rules around GMOs has driven jobs overseas to our shores. Lets make sure we don't drive them over other seas to Asia.
Google's model seems to be Invent, Entrap, Abandon. Well for anything outside of Search and E-mail anyway. We are all still wondering how this is supposed to be profitable, and when they will drop Droid.
Depends on your perspective, as to if they were Mistakes for Microsoft. Yes there were other factors, like their near total owner ship position on the Desktop, something Google kinda enjoys today with search, but whatever Microsoft did it worked in sense.
IE became the web browser, many websites took the attitude other browsers need bother with a GET. Microsoft's position on the desktop was if anything cemented because you more or less needed a Microsoft platform to use 80% of the WWW. It got them a footing into the back room, previously owned by UNIX and Apache, for NT and IIS, by users wanting to take advantage of their client. An entire generation of developers learned Microsoft technologies something that they still trade on today. The security problems, pain they caused people who were supporting platforms not theirs, etc; well none of that really hurt them in terms of dollars and market share did it?
Where it fits in with "don't be evil" I am not rightly sure, but rest assured many at Microsoft do not view the moves made during that period as mistakes, and there are those at Google who are jealous.
SOPA is statist, not socialist but the two almost always go hand in hand.
Its not about giving a few large companies or a few big brands an advantage, its more about how certain members of the upper social class have given over their sovereignty to the political class in exchange for the right to keep their position.
Actually it looks very much like the Leninist system if you read your history but with much nicer trim this time around.
It's a fear of something that we can't see, and can't quantify with our own senses. Why be mindlessly afraid of radiation when it can be measured and the risks are understood?
Well that is exactly why its scary. We can't register it with our own senses, well unless is so strong as to cause heating. I could be being irradiated right now, and I would not know it. So yea anytime you elevate the risk that could be happening by saying going near the TSA, or the site of recent nuclear safety incident, yes I worry.
Now I also understand *some* of the physics and if I had the tools measure and map it I'd worry less. I don't have those tools so the only option is look for secondary indicators, like TSA uniforms, posted warnings, and exercise caution.
If you are doing that you have larger issues. So when a site rejects your password and you, try some others, you are potentially submitting credential pairs which may be valid elsewhere to a compromised host. BAD
If you don't know what password Zappos had for your account, then you should set new passwords on ALL your accounts.
No their records will show they sold me W pounds of waste, my records will show I bought W pounds of waste. My records will also show I got X pounds of useable recycled material out of that waste, when I really only got Y, the stuff I bought hot will contribute Z, where the math has been arganged such that Z + Y = X.
There will be nothing anyone's records but my own to prove a thing; and Z + Y will not be recorded on the office documents but the ones on flash paper, folded up behind the pack of cigarettes next to lighter in my breast pocket.
This is old type of fraud, yes some people get caught, thousands of others get away with it every day.

Umm host headers and SNI?
Umm? Why the operation is exactly the same. Look the the dest port 80 or 443, redirect to XXXX, I don't see why the address length changes anything.

Go buy some newer bigger flash drives, they will be formatted exFAT which supports both LNFs and get this files larger than 4gb.
Thanks to Google and others there are Fuse drivers.
