"We don't guarantee the program will even run, much less do what we said it will do." "We are not liable for anything, even if our software makes your company's profits implode"
Well, these two points are included in the GPL, and I wouldn't say that is very unreasonable.
The United States of America != America, either, but that's what people call it. Give it time, and I bet "Europe" will become the accepted name for the EU.
Does anyone know what grants ICANN the right to essentially have a monopoly on the domain names? The internet is supposedly free and decentralized, and the article makes it clear that ICANN is not regulated by any government. In that case, how did they get to where they are? I admit that I don't really know what ICANN really does or provides, but it seems to me like someone else should be competing with them.
It would be nice if we could suddenly switch over so that everybody was using this technology, but that's not going to happen. This doesn't seem like the kind of technology that can be slowly introduced. Why would you want to ride one of these cars when 99% of the cars on the road are still driven by people?
If he saw the guy he was serving walking by, and while stopped by security shouted out something to the effect that he was serving process, and the target heard (or should have heard), then the court will generally accept that the person has been served
It isn't and shouldn't be the role of the United States to directly put an end to things like that. Genocides and other human rights atrocities should be dealt with through the United Nations, an international organization set up SPECIFICALLY to handle things like this.
If I had any mod points I'd mod you funny... but instead I'll post a reply.
I think it might actually be beneficial if devices had more than one IP address. It seems like a very nice layer of abstraction to assign an individual IP address to each process/application running on a device, for example. Then you don't need to mess around with ports or any of that. Additionally, it would be just as easy for processes on the same device to talk to each other as if they were on separate devices, as long as they used the IP layer to talk. Not very feasible for today's technology, but you never know.
Quoth the article: Nats will also no longer need to be used as there will no longer be a need for IP address conservation since there will now be enough IPv6 addresses available for each person on the planet to have 10 of their very own.
I might be mistaken, but I thought I'd heard that IPv6 provides more than enough IP addresses to have one for every atom in the universe. Correct me if I'm wrong.
I know this is offtopic and somewhat anal, but I'm tired of people misusing the T-minus-X notation commonly associated with launches.
T refers to the expected time of launch. So, if you wanted to launch at 12:45, then that would be T. When you say T-minus-5 minutes, you are referring to the current time; that is, at 12:40 you would say that it is T-minus-5 minutes, because 12:45 (T) - 00:05 is 12:40.
Saying T-minus-5 minutes until something doesn't make any sense. You would just say 5 minutes until something.
I'm not sure about ReiserFS, but there is already a program -- Explore2fs -- which lets you mess around with Ext2 and Ext3 partitions from Windows. Why you would want to do that is beyond me, but there you go.
I have a hard drive with Windows installed on it and a hard drive with Linux, and I use both OSes. Explore2fs is handy when I'm in Windows but I need to grab a file on my Linux drive.

What about self -modifying code?

Finally, once this is accomplished and they're the only spammer left, they can quietly shut down the operation.
That will never happen. Open source spam will start up the competition again.

I think the makers of DDR machines would disagree with you.

You need your web browser to branch it's development and get a spell checker.
You need your -- forget it.

That means... it's on!

They included the coral link in the story. Now what are karma whores suppose to do?
Complain about the coral link, apparently.
