In the IPv6 world, your home router is still there protecting everything just as it is now. Rather than setting up NAT and port forwarding, all you have to do is un-firewall whatever port you want to use on whatever machine. Still secure by default, and it enables full connectivity for your devices rather than NAT connectivity.
And in fact it's problem #1. I think it's the same for journalism also.
It isn't the job of government to be helping people! It's the job of government to maintain freedom. In that environment, people will help themselves and each other.
If you're getting into government or journalism to "make a difference", DON'T. Get in to, respectively, preserve freedom and tell the truth.
The total amperage you can push through a port has gone from 500ma to 5400ma, or from 2.5W to 27W. That's a lot of power. Not sure that it's enough to spin up a magnetic hard drive though.
Hardware vendors' drivers suck, for the reasons you specify and many others. That's one of the main reasons that there should not be an ABI for Linux. It'll turn Linux into the Windows driver mess you describe.
I'd like to point out that it says they cannot be used for those applications. Well, it turns out that in fact they can. All that means is their statement is incorrect. It doesn't say anything about permissions.
They've got a ton of presences all over the place, so latency is not too bad. It's really nice to be able to SSH directly to your boxes behind your router. Every address you get contains the square of the IPv4 address space for your own use.
Then bug your ISP to give you native connectivity.
The report is very clear: nothing could have saved them. The restraint system was certainly not the ultimate cause of death; it was perhaps an immediate contributor, but at best a minor one.
But I'll never filter my mail based on the source, unless possibly it's the address of a known spammer. Why should somebody not be able to run a mailserver on their own machine via a residential broadband connection?
Behavior is absolutely fair game. I definitely require valid HELOs, appropriate reverse IP information, etc etc. But I definitely want to avoid filtering by IP address if at all possible.
They really should move to ISBN-13 only. Right now, all ISBN-13s start with 978, which means all ISBNs have both a 10- and 13-digit representation. But once they issue a 979 number, there won't be an equivalent ISBN-10.

...But that requires you to wait for all those zeroes to be written. EXT4 can preallocate without actually doing the write.
Well yes, that's why checks & balances. When we don't actively destroy them, anyway. (See Amendment #17, especially.)

Just include the uuencoded text in the body then.
There's no content on the page you linked to. There's only a reference to some binary object; no text, no links.
Whoops, sure did! Thanks.

Check for your hardware on OpenWRT's compatability table. An IPv6 router is a flash away!

It's publicly funded, so they don't care who they piss off.
...Except for the hand that feeds them. I'd rather have my news media unafraid to challenge the government, thanks.
All these virtual keyboards are hard-coded for QWERTY, which makes even less sense for that kind of device than for a modern keyboard!
Dvorak should be an option, along with alphabetical order.
Actually for this thing, there's probably a whole new layout that's optimal. (That's an exercise for the reader to invent.)

Your sig's link appears to be broken.
Remember the Roadrunner? That impish character always foiling Wile E. Coyote in those classic cartoons produced by a company called Warner Brothers?
"Roadrunner" is the marketing name of Time Warner's cable modem service.

The only shame is that this will be an end to the "series of tubes" jokes.
Hi, you must be new here. Welcome to Slashdot!
Presidents (well, Ford at least) have issued full and unconditional pardons for any acts that may have been committed.
Episode 803, "The Mole People", with John Agar and Hugh Beaumont. And Alfred the butler from the Batman TV series. Classic.

Could well be the reader, couldn't it? There's not much room for it on the card itself.
Do you really think that's theoretically possible? How can a piece of software assign meaning to any random collection of bits?
