Rather than blocking a whole field of public IPv4 addresses, let's have Verizon (who's deploying an LTE network for phones) & Wikipedia (who already uses it on their backend) push big for IPv6 migration. This situation will become easier to manage, not harder.
Consider the source people: the article is hosted by News Corp in Australia, referring to an attack on its paper in South Australia, and is pimping the anti-corruption lobby it started as a source of outrage. "The Right to Know Coalition, made up of Australia's major media outlets including News Limited, publisher of The Advertiser and parent company of news.com.au, has called the new laws "draconian"." The same thing is done by having the Wall Street Journal or Times of London report something, and have Fox News run with it as a lead.
Thanks for letting us know! Maybe someone will figure out a similar app for such hardware. (sees previous posts on Tivoization) that may be difficult...
If you're doing VPN or tunneling, you need the RAM and CPU performance a device like this offers. I've crushed Linksys routers with low VPN loading and tunneling use. Something like this would possibly be useful for caching or lite server duty with an external drive.
I'm getting rather sick of reading posts along the lines of "it doesn't work," "it'll never work," and "you need to have one work for the other."
In 2006-2007, I tried deploying an IPv4-based TINC setup on my office computers. However, to maintain this, you needed a computer at each of the bigger sites, and smaller systems tied to a common system: I had over 100 nodes chained together like this. By summer 2007, it was unsustainable: I had already been researching IPv6, and decided to start implementing it as a solution for accessing things like Intranet, VNC, and remote file systems. By the end of 2007, I had more or less eliminated the IPv4 chains with a setup of our sites using NAT'd IPv4 in the 192.168-whatever range, and individual IPv6 subnets for each site, tied together by an ethernet-based TINC install on OpenWRT routers. It has worked above and beyond my expectations: we can use regular Internet; we can use IPv6 global and internal resources. If it doesn't support v6 out of the box, chances are it works with "portproxy" fine. With a transition to newer Linux systems and Vista/2008 Windows systems, it becomes more streamlined.
You can't avoid v6: its all around you. I believe in it and I've made it work.
Something online actually worked for me. I've been on OKCupid for the last 5 years, and I've made friends on there both dating or otherwise: in fact I met my male co-worker of two years on there (known him 4-5); my current g/f; and my old g/f, who turned out to live with a bunch of geeks I still live with 2 years later. In the last year a few of the local geeks have held meetups as well: usually to play board games and consume pot-luck items.
I've used Avast Pro with ADNM at work for the last 2 years now without a hitch: replaced this god-awful Norton setup that was expired and poorly maintained. As long as the clients are installed with our internal DNS name for the AV server, they get updated and we get a running inventory of all our Windows machines. The machines I expect to get hit the most, I use Ubuntu on: hard to load malware from Myspace or some offhand foreign site.
I've especially ran into issues with DDR2 sticks in that they may not use the default 1.8/1.9V setting on most systems, but require 2.0-2.3V to operate: especially if they're "high-performance" memory meant to run at 1066 speed. Default timings also can be an issue with speed levels programmed into the chips as well: you can check for this issue by setting the RAM to run at 1 or 2 speeds lower (say DDR2-800 running with a 333mhz clock (DDR2-667) instead of 400mhz.
For one of the original users of Slashdot to dive into this Libertarian troll-tank and defend his work, it should be respected and not dwarfed by conspiracy theories. Put this at the top, then let people rant on about the end of their liberties.
Probably the most common DNS server out there is BIND, which runs on most computing platforms, and is available for free. If the anti-virus and OS vendors collaborated on something similar to that, then we could have a universal anti-virus that's at least partially open-source and highly-effective.
An anonymous poster, conjugates an argument that Google is doing something Microsoft isn't, and postulates its something nobody else is doing.
(looks over the article & site) No attributed author to the piece, the comments consider it misinformed, and the site claims a "non-profit" status while hawking ads for birth-control and the NRA.
This isn't news: its anonymous cowards drawing us to their blog.
That guy suggesting RabbIT may not be far off in his thinking. Realistically, we need to get admins to change behavior at the server level. For bandwidth reduction, using HTTP compression & converting non-animated GIFs into optimized PNGs will help (did this with servers I work with). I did write up my initial findings last year: I should probably go research if there's a way to shrink Flash files...

One of the things that annoys the hell out of my roommmates is the Blizzard Downloader: it kills our DSL connection if more than one person tries to update at the same time. I know SixXS is doing work with an IPv6 bittorrent client, and I also know that LAN games could network better over an IPv6 subnet. I also know at least overseas, more ISPs are switching to IPv6. Just something to consider.
The idea of universal and free phone access was raised in Scott Adams' "The Religion War," as a hacker's dying act to make all telephone calls in the world free. The war ends almost as quick as it began, and society rededicates itself to sustaining this new and free communication network.
A lot of comments on here assume the following points...
1. The parents always know best. 2. The computer will be hooked up to the Internet and the kid will get hit on by pedophiles. 3. The brother is not acting in his sister's best interest. 4. The sister has no right to privacy until age 18.
Countering these points...
1. Parents are not infallible. I know a guy that would get toys that his deranged mother would purposely sabotage (cut cords; remove parts). Or if you want a more innocent note, the parents may not even be savvy in computers, and mess it up themselves. Let's get absurd and have them delete solitaire because she might not do her homework: I have managers at work ask me that when their workers get bored. 2. A computer does not equal Internet access. Obviously the parents control this aspect just by finances, unless the brother rigs up wireless and a neighbor doesn't lock down their router. 3. A brother is asking questions about computer access and security from an almost academic level, as well as his own experience it seems. He deserves answers: not comments about being an "asshat" from people we can all assume would be old enough to be his parent. 4. If the parents are requiring parental control software, at the very least they're worried about content on the Internet (see point 2), if not the Internet itself. It doesn't have to be porn either: religious Internet filters flag crap as "occult," regardless of it actually involving something academic or "evil magic spells." Parents who micro-manage their children have a right to, but it should damn well be discouraged: one of the things I've seen on here is that a healthy sense of trust needs to exist in the family, and I fully agree.
I do find it funny that a lot of people on this site argue for privacy, yet would be more than willing to let government intercept their communications in the name of security. Show the kids your own closets and logfiles, or don't complain if grandpa or the police come over to ask for yours.
At work, we use IPv6 for our VPN, and IPv4 for Internet access. All the separate LANs are using private IPv4 addressing, using NAT with static IPs on the external interfaces; OpenWRT-based routers (take a $70 ASUS router and re-flash it with Linux); and tinc VPN software to link the routers together with a private (unique local address) IPv6 subnet. Furthermore, I run a SixXS tunnel at our main server farm that lets me provide IPv6 Internet access to all the sites via the VPN: hence I have both public and private IPv6 subnets running concurrently. If you want automatic routing, you can use Quagga to set interface addresses, do route advertising, and use OSPFv3 or RIPng to manage the subnets.
I find it even more intriguing that ITT is a previous Republican Party ally (at least back to the 70s), supported Hitler, and assisted the overthrow of Allende in Chile. A company with a history of right-wing intrigue, allying with a proponent of national spying (AT&T), points markedly to a "smokey room." This doesn't have to be a grand conspiracy either: friends scratching friends backs.
I had nothing but problems with Outlook IMAP at the company I work for: you'd think it'd be as seamless as using an Exchange account. I put as many as I can on Thunderbird: works well for such use.

I tried figuring out how to do something like this a couple months ago: got something going with BTRFS. http://unquietwiki.blogspot.com/2010/03/quick-local-backup-with-rsync-btrfs.html
I'll say what I said on Reddit...

And based on what the AC added earlier, they're crowing about their victory too.

This is a story from one Murdoch news source, citing another (The Australian). Same thing as the New York Post citing the Times of London.

The iPhone uses an ARM CPU for its processor. I did a Google search on any DateTime-related problems, and found two of interest, one of which was solved by disabling code optimizations. Someone with more experience should look into this idea.
