Total IP Addresses in a Class A Block (approx, depending on subnetting): 4,000,000
Total IP Addresses possible in IP v6 (approx):
300,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,00 0 (Googled that number)
Class A Block / IP adds possible in Ipv6 = 1.3 * 10^24 or approximately %0.000000000000000000000013 of the total IP space. Disclaimer: I'm not the best at math even with a calculator I screw up:-/
However I can take 4 million IP addresses and leave plenty for the 8 billion other people on this planet with room left for any extra-terrestrials that choose to adapt to TCP/IP in the future.

IPv6 is Here
·
· Score: 1
Static IP's for everyone? Dear god the administration nightmares there trying to document all the IPv6 assignments.
Better still, bring back the old BOOTP protocol? Which if I'm not mistaken just simply keeps a database of MAC addresses to IP Addresses (manually entered), and if a broadcast from a MAC address requests an IP, it looks up the assigned IP for the MAC address. Then all you have to do is punch in MAC addresses for the administrator. Anyone still use BOOTP in their networks? Also I'm not familiar enough with DHCP, can it do the same thing?
I could get something equivalent to my own Class A block of IPv6 addresses for my home. I'd give every object in my apartment an assigned IP Address. How the pieces of toilet paper get access to the Internet would remain to be seen, but at least on paper (heh) it would have an IP Address. And why not? So many IP addresses possible I could have my own class A block (or IPv6 equivalent) and hardly put a dent in the amount of available IPv6 addresses...but until an ISP offering DSL in my area supports IPv6 I'm outta luck...
Seriously if your workplace is boring, find a few cube gadgets to keep you amused. Find people online to chat with (meet a girl online if you're single even...) if you have Internet access and the right to bring stuff in from home to your cube, I fail to see the overall problem. Or just post on Slashdot regularly, that helps me a lot:-)
Ummmm from my understanding the Internet II project is only a university funded gig...you'll never surf the Internet II unless you are involved with a major university in some way...
Browser independent controls? Maybe I could bring you on board and you could explain what happened to an earlier project of mine that wouldn't work in Mozilla with some custom controlls. See another post in this thread by me for specifics.
True that, but it's tricky and in one case a job I had was to develop an application in ASP.NET where we only tested in IE. The results were the page wouldn't even run in any non IE browser. Granted this was a public application and had to at least run in Mozilla even if not perfectly, the results for the project were catastrophic. After that I pretty much say if you're gonna develop for anything but IE, use another programming language. Fortunately I have many in my skillset I can pick from. JSP and ColdFusion are 2 of my favorites before ASP.
Yes I know Mozilla/Firefox is better and I use regularly. However I have to develop applications in ASP.net, basically Internet explorer as mandated as mandated for this application. Granted windows runs the majority of desktops here). Why cant Microsoft just build code that is at least semi-secure puhleeeeaaaaassseee....maybe it's time to pitch for a full out work switch to Mozilla/Open Source. Especially when it's a new vulnerability (or multiple vulnerabilities) once a week. *sigh*
Ok I'm through crying now Microsoft hear my pleas....
Now it's 15 years later, and people are swapping your I.P., which you sell to make a living, and you aren't selling it because so many are swapping it for free...now tell your kids about how you used to be a part of the group that caused them to go without supper that night, while the repo man is towing the car away...all because you thought stealing was "ok" 15 years ago...
You had me going and supporting your statement, until you tried to tell me that one billion dollar earners kids don't have supper.
Sure it is stealing, in principle it is wrong. However the sympathy for those that sue 12 year olds, old ladies and others with little evidence, for major amounts of $ is just not there, do 2 wrongs make a right? Hardly...but perhaps the billion dollar industry can set the example, no?
I leave it to them (MPAA,RIAA,BSA, etc.) to find innovative ways of dealing with the problems they face in free copying of intellectual property without being overly oppressive. Unfortunately these people choose to be oppressive in dealing with IP issues. Anybody else have brighter ideas?
Granted all the software is released under GPL and source code included, all it would take is for the kid to either A) Learn a little C++ (or whatever language this software is coded in) to make the software worthless or B) Start hunting for a patch that someone else was nice enough to build. Though if your kid can learn C++ I presume he's probably mature enough to view anything he wants and parents should stay back. However full censorship in Linux,IMHO because of the nature of open source is just next to impossible. As it should be though:-)

Granted auto dialers to these countries will no longer function, but I suppose the loss of the one customer who regularly dials Guinea-Bissau, Guyana, Nauru and/or Sao Tome in Canada vs. the gazillions of mad people for bum phone bills weighs itself out. However let's see them try this with a bigger country having auto dial issues as well (Thailand, Vietnam and former Russian republics come to mind). A step in the right direction, but not hardly a full solution.
Walking down a "street" and seeing one house at 1152 Sombeody Street, 1145 Nowhere Lane and 6588 Someplace Dr all next to each other some day. Gives you a feel for this kind of stupidity by the court. The USPS could have a field day with this just as any Network administrator.
I second this as well. IMHO it seems more people are focusing more on tighter less buggy software. Might the manufacturers see this change coming as well?
How do you determine the "birthday" of a piece of software?
1) When the idea was first thought up?
2) The first diagrams designing key features were released?
3) The first line of what was to become the OS was typed?
4) Launch date of alpha version?
5) Other?
I'd have to agree and throw a language into the mix, ColdFusion is traditionally regarded as a language where newbies start their web programming (usually Macromedia Flash people who need a little more power from the server, so we have artists learning how to program). Consequentially ColdFusion has a bad reputation as being an insecure language. While IMHO (I'm Macromedia Certified in ColdFusion so I know my stuff) it is as secure as any other programming language, it's the programmers, not the language people...
In the second wave, workers in customer service, help desk, directory assistance, and other support activities in businesses will be replaced by computers that have enough intelligence to handle repetitive tasks that occur during human interaction.
I'm pretty sure the myriad of automated customer service tools used by many of the customer service lines I call regularly, which will either handle my request itself (such as checking my account balance, etc) or at the very least direct me to the appropriate customer service rep are displacing many a job as it is. If your job is extremely repetitive, yes you do have something to worry about.
Ok let's analyze that statement if they impulse buy x on impulse:
Manhood enhancing product: Hopefully the end result of a disastrous manhood enhancing products is the destroyed ability to procreate, so spam customers can't begat more spam customers, W00T!!!
Mortaging their home on impules: Worst case scenario their home is repo'd, gets harder to fall for spams when you don't have a home to check your email for spams in.
Third world bride: Oh dear god don't go there on impulse buying a woman...*shudder*
Bestiality DVD set: Well that's low risk, but still you get ripped off with a soft-core porn video?
Won't argue with that. But as spamming becomes less profitable, so will they to the point that their business model becomes unsustainable. Besides now that everyone on Slashdot is aware of their existence, I predict that life will become a living hell for Send Safe + their clients:-/
He's earned 523 Euros which in America = close to 1000 dollars (no I don't have a currency converter).
Job Paying $8/hr * 40/hrs week = $1280 or about $1,000 after taxes, that's the average rate of your Starbucks Coffee guy in the United states, and the money is legit!
Mid level computer programmer (or someone like me) = $50k/year or $3,000/month after taxes.
In short it's getting pretty damn tough for the Spammers I see. The harder we make it, and pretty soon Spamming will just be unprofitable I hope. In the meantime my advice to this spammer = get a real job...even Starbucks Coffee guy is better than what you're doing.
Well, I never said that cost is NOT a factor. In my parent post I never so much as said that Linux is cheaper than Microsoft or vice versa. Granted that there are studies that go both ways. With all the information (and probably dis-information) that I have gleaned, I dare not make a claim that one OS is cheaper than the other at this time.
However price alone should not be a decision in going open source. Rather weigh it with all the other factors and make a well-reasoned decision. For many who have gone open source, I'm sure price alone wasn't the only factor...
