    Fuck the constitiution. Regardless of any law, he did the right thing. I'm Fing sick of people holding up a document written by slaveholders as if its the moral standard upon which we should base all of our behaviors.

  2. Re:I suspect it'll take a while. on One Year After World IPv6 Launch — Are We There Yet? · · Score: 1

    But how well does it support IpV6. I made a quick purchase of dsl modem recently that had a nice IPV6 sticker on it, It does support it, but its a pain in the but to set up and their are bugs everywhere.

  3. Re:And the root cause is... on One Year After World IPv6 Launch — Are We There Yet? · · Score: 1

    Yeah, I mistyped, I meant what you said. 6to4 but the other way around. Most of the valuable Internet resources are dual stack IPv4 and V6. As otther large companies enable Ipv6 the temptation to not have v4 increases. In short, you don't want to be the first company to migrate ( no real reason to), but you don't want to be the last one to (you'll lose customers).

      I wouldn't be surprised if the next twitter/facebook/tumblr 10 years from now does ipv6 only. I should do an expirament with IpV6 only to see how useful it is.

    No, not all Cable modems and DSL Modems have supported ipv6. There are also several that are insanely difficult to set up, and bugs are everywhere.

    Theoretically, you could lose some business in the future if you don't support ipv6 and the customer doesn't have access to a 6to4 tunnel. It still seems like a long way off before that's an issue.

  6. Re:But its still difficult on One Year After World IPv6 Launch — Are We There Yet? · · Score: 1

    Its marginal, to be sure, right now. There *can* be some websites that are IPv6 only that you won't be able to access if you only have ipv4. As far as I know there aren't any that are worth while visiting. Also, If large websites support IPv6 in addition to v4, if on eis down you should be able to access the other if they are on different servers. So you might have more uptime?

    There are other things that Ipv6 is good at that probably wouldn't matter to most home users. Like having mutliple machines externally accessible on the same port.

    I could also refurb things if I could get Kinkos to print out the part I needed. As time goes on, they'd updat their printer to compete with staples so the next time I need something it will be printed to even higher tolerances at the same price. I'd be stupid to buy, if this was the case.

    That's a good point. I should sell my Metal and wood working tools capabile of building durable long lasting weapons, and buy a printer capable of building crappy plastic ones. The future is Plastic

  9. Re:Meh... on Dreambox: the World's First 3D Printing Vending Machine · · Score: 4, Insightful

    You're crazy. How often does the average person have a true need for a 3d printed object? Rarely, I would say. So the while the cost isn't in and of itself an issue, the benefit to owning a printer is low. Why shouldn't staples, kinkos, and others just allow you to print your object on a one off basis? If there is money to be made, that's where it is.

    Ha! I used to work at a place with a real honest to god genius. Who was almost irreplaceable and by far the primary engine behind the company's growth. He also hated, hated any and all attempts to restrict his access to anything that interested him. We went through several network administrators that thought they were smarter and didn't want him to sporadically take down the network when one of his side projects unrelated to work brought down the network. I felt bad for the poor bastards that were in that no win situation.

  14. Re:iTunes? What's that? on Google's View On the Whac-a-Mole of Blocking Pirate Sites · · Score: 1

    It isn't very accurate in cases like itunes where most of the access of the content is done not through a stand alone application, rather than a general purpose web browser. It ranks pages based on (amoung other things) their popularity on the web, which may well be different than their popularity through some other access method.

  15. Re:There's a reason nobody talks about it on Dao, a New Programming Language Supporting Advanced Features With Small Runtime · · Score: 1

    My first professional job was in perl. And I knew how to write readable perl, so I did. And the lead dev marked the hell out of it, and required that I re write it in the cannonical unreadable form. I think with the true perl beleivers, the more illegibile the code is, the better it is. ( well not really, but their is a zen of perl, which gave rise to the perl monks. And that zen is almost indistinguishable from garbage.)

  16. Re:There's a reason nobody talks about it on Dao, a New Programming Language Supporting Advanced Features With Small Runtime · · Score: 1

    The point that is being discussed here, is that it takes a lot longer to understand the particular actions with perl than most other programing languages. The general purpose of what comments should be used for is a different discussion.

    part of the confusion, is that most people heard of php before cake, code igniter or zend. Most people learned of ruby through Ruby on Rails and just assumed it was a language. Rather than a language and a third party framework.

    Such a terrible, terrible argument. There is a difference between what I as an individual should do to maximise my survival, and what a mythical diety in the sky should do to promote "fairness". I as an indivdual should look to minimize risk. Absolutely no one who was using liberty mutal ( edxcept the criminals) was minimizing thier risk. They really do have only themselves to blame for putting themselves in that sitaution. It was very clear for a very long time that liberty reserve was not following the law, and that the US government was intent on cracking down on those very laws.
