  1. Introducing the Monotron!! on Is the 4th Yellow Pixel of Sharp Quattron Hype? · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    I was going to post a satire of the Quattron commercial, but /. prevented me with "Filter error: Please use fewer 'junk' characters."

    The characters I used were all standard ASCII, WTF?!

    I'm a logged in user, with good Karma, have a few achievements according to what they tell me in my account, and they say "As our way of thanking you for your positive contributions to Slashdot, you are eligible to disable advertising.", though I never have.

    But now I am being pre-censored, on SlashDot??!!!

    I can handle being modded down. I can take losing Karma. I can handle the flame baiters.

    But being pre-censored... Tell me it ain't true!

    But it is true, so this forum has outlived its usefulness to me.

    I know you will all miss me ; }

    I never created a sig, but my last post will have this as my sig...

    My first, and only, 'First Post', was modded redundant
    Its true!

    One Key that fits all is dangerous. You just need to decide how much variety fits your lifestyle.

    It looks like an NTP bug. I have seen this behavior on non-Macos machines.

  8. Re:And Only? on India First To Build a Supersonic Cruise Missile · · Score: -1, Troll

    My comment is moderated redundant?

    Maybe it is just me showing my age.
    Back in the day, in order to be redundant, you needed to repeat, or re-iterate, in some way, something that some other person had already said.
    Since no previous comment had been made on this topic, I am at a total loss trying to understand how my comment can be 'redundant'.

    Sigh... I will never get used to modern times where you can be redundant before you speak.

    Mod parent up. Ballistic and Cruise are two different animals.

  10. Re:Really? on India First To Build a Supersonic Cruise Missile · · Score: 3, Interesting

    The whole point of a 'Cruise Missile', is that it maneuvers... i.e it is not 'Ballistic'

    I believe there were at least 14 models of Cruise Missiles before this that were SuperSonic.

    Mod me 'redundant' again, and again...

  11. Re:Really? on India First To Build a Supersonic Cruise Missile · · Score: 0, Redundant

    So my question is 'Redundant'?

    How can it be redundant... there is no prior discussion?

    Oh, sorry about that... but what is your point?

    Seems to me that cruise missiles have been around for a while, and one of the defining properties is that it 'steers'

    Why does any company 're-brand' itself?
    What was wrong with the old brand?
    Finally, does a change in name equate to a change in fact?
    Just asking.

  19. Re:Will they permit NATs? on Comcast Plans IPv6 Trials In 2010 · · Score: 1

    The originating TTL of a packet is decided by the application that created it.
    Since there is no mandatory original TTL, there is little use in filtering by TTL.

    If some ISP decided to start filtering packets based on a low TTL, all application vendors would respond with updates that originated all packets at the maximum TTL.

  20. Re:Oh, well... on Comcast Plans IPv6 Trials In 2010 · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Except for a few research networks, all V6 traffic runs through the same 'tubes' as V4.
    So all else being equal, V6 data rates should be no different than V4.

    But all is not equal.

    V6 has several refinements over V4, which tend to enhance throughput.

  21. Re: People without dual stack on IPv4 Free Pool Drops Below 10%, 1.0.0.0/8 Allocated · · Score: 1

    Which begs the question... how many single stack systems are left out there? Is this really an issue?

    All current desktop operating systems are dual stack capable.

    Most current 'big iron' routers, switches & etc are dual stack capable.

    Lower level stuff like dumb switches don't give a damn.

    That pretty much leaves the consumer grade DSL and Cable gateway.
    Newer ones are dual stack, but most aren't.
    However, given the crappy quality of these devices, they will all be doorstops within a couple of years... and replaced with dual stack gateways ( of similar crappy quality).

    So should we really be worried about leaving anyone behind?

  25. Re:He wasn't a comgressman, on Former Congressman Learns About Streisand Effect · · Score: 1

    Which is the Congress of South Dakota.

    While I do not believe that Ted Klaudt raped and murdered two goats in 1997, it is rather disturbing that Ted Klaudt has so far refused to deny that Ted Klaudt raped and murdered two goats in 1997 ( one named Ted, the other named Klaudt).

    If Ted Klaudt is not guilty of all these rapes (and murders), why would he not publicly deny it?
    It's not like he has any association with Glenn Beck, who has refused to deny the rape and murder of two young girls in 1990.

    But with these new unfounded accusations it is more important than ever that Ted Klaudt and Glenn Beck distance themselves from each other to avoid guilt by association.

    Ted Klaudt and Glenn Beck should simply cooperate with the courts, police, FBI and CIA with total access to Ted Klaudt and Glenn Becks correspondence, social calendars, financial statements, bank accounts, email, web history & etc, to put this issue to rest for once and all.

    After all, if Ted Klaudt and Glenn Beck have nothing to hide then why shouldn't Ted Klaudt and Glenn Beck show the proof that they are not rapist/murders?

    I just don't get it.
