Primary Containment: Fuel Rod Cladding (probably damaged in blocks 1 to 3)
Secondary Containment: Reactor Pressure Vessel (probably intact in blocks 1 to 3)
Tertiary Containment: Thick Concrete Containment (that's the one you forgot) (largely intact for blocks 1 to 3)
Quaternary Containment: Outside Reactor building (very damaged)
So where does the radioactivity come from? Probably mainly from the suppression chamber in block 2, which is damaged, and which has a connection with the RPV and the turbine building.
The alleged manipulations came to light because Mr Marzolo did not have a mobile telephone of his own. As a result of financial problems he had been barred by all mobile companies. His telephone had been loaned to him by another senior player for whom he once worked, Joanna Pomian, the vice president of the federation.
During the championship, she accidentally discovered a message from Mr Hauchard in Russia which read: "Hurry up and send the moves." She checked the records of the line and found Mr Marzolo had sent 180 messages to the other accused men during the competition. Most consisted of telephone numbers.
The last big Machine-Man match was in 2006 which was Kramnik against Deep Fritz. Wikipedia says the following about the hardware: "Deep Fritz version 10 ran on a computer containing two Intel Core 2 Duo CPUs (a Xeon DC 5160 3 GHz processor with a 1333 MHz FSB and a 4MB L2 Cache)". Kramnik lost this match. Imagine what a $500 computer now would do. (Plus chess engines have improved a lot as well.)
Just try yourself. The best chess engine currently is free (as in beer): Houdini. Furthermore, you need a GUI. Arena is free as in beer as well. You can then check how well Houdini plays. Even if you give them only 1/1000th of the time that you have, Houdini will totally kill you off. Or go ahead and take the Queen away from Houdini at the beginning. Unless you are a very good player, you will still have a hard time beating Houdini.
I have not RTFA but I think the summary got it the wrong way round: If apps are running slower when run from the home screen compared to Safari, this would be an advantage of web apps as opposed to native apps. So if the article makes any sense, apps should run slower in Safari.
Even better are the following devices: Set up payment on bank website. It asks for confirmation showing you the recipient bank account and the amount. On top of that, it shows a bar code with the same information. You then hold your TAN (transaction number) generator against the screen and it scans the bar code. Then, the TAN generator shows the recipient bank account and amount on a display on the generator. You then enter your PIN in the generator and it generates a TAN that is derived from recipient bank account, amount and a "normal" TAN. If this TAN gets intercepted, the attacker cannot do anything with it since it only works for the bank account in question.
This is the most secure system I know that avoids the need to typing the bank account number into the device manually.
Why is it that in various forums incl Slashdot in recent months, duckduckgo is always mentioned when it comes to search (invariably with a link)? I don't think they are that special to warrant that attention; they seem to be mainly using bing results.
It is worth noting in this context that there were a number of changes of government in Germany, implying that party politics might also have played a role. Between 1998 and 2005, the German government was a coalition of social democrats and greens (with a green foreign minister); between 2005 and 2009, the government was a coalition of christian democrats (conservatives) and social democrats (with a social democrat foreign minister); and since 2009, the government has been a coalition of christian democrats and liberals (with a liberal foreign minister). The "SPD" mentioned in the article is the social democrat party.
One issue with Java seems to be that it keeps old versions (or at least it used to). I used a laptop at work that had been in the cupboard for half a year. It had (roughly, can't remember exactly): Java 1.5 update 12 - Java 1.6 - Java 1.6 update 2 - Java 1.6 update 3 - Java 1.6 update 6 - Java 1.6 update 7. Why this is the case, I have no idea. Doesn't seem right though!
A browser should auto-update automatically anyway. OK, provide a way to stop it doing so, but there really shouldn't be a reason why you should not run the latest version.
Well, the allocations accelerated over the last month. The last normal allocation was two/8 blocks on 31 January to APNIC. This triggered the allocation of the last five/8 blocks to the five RIRs (one each). I think there is still a little bit of non-contiguous space called "various" (totalling something like 7.5/8 blocks) that will also be allocated to the RIRs soon.
OK. You could use Unique Local Addresses for your local servers; these ULAs won't change if you move office. At the same time, you use normal globally routable addresses for your internet connections. (Remember that you can assign several IP addresses to each machine.)
They might give you "only" a/64, but anything less will mean that your devices will not work. Windows Vista and 7 use the full range of the/64 to create changing, pseudorandom IPv6 addresses for outgoing connection ("IPv6 privacy extensions").
I have to admit that your company is behaving rationally (i.e. profit maximising) in this case. Luckily I live in a place on this earth where there is healthy competition between ISPs. Geographic areas like yours will simply be left behind.
If the existing IPv4 space was embedded in IPv6, it could be part of 0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000, and that prefix could be optional (the prefix could really be anything, as long as it was a standard). This would make an IPv4 address of 123.123.123.123 be 0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:7b7b:7b7b (aka 0::7b7b:7b7b).
All servers would then automatically be part of the IPv6 network, and accessible from any IPv4 client, and from any IPv6 client that is in that same IPv6 subnet. With a minor update to the router or host, the old IPv4 server could talk to any IPv6 client too... they'd just start sending full length packets.
And guess what - the whole IPv4 address space is embedded in IPv6 at::ffff::/96 just as you suggested (that is the range from 0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:ffff:0000:0000 to 0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:ffff:ffff:ffff). So feel free to write the "minor update" to the IPv4 clients and just start using this address space and they will be able to talk to IPv6 clients. Easy peasy.
With clever design a "long IP" packet could have been made to look like a UDP packet to some "reserved" destination address when passing over legacy infrastructure. That way only the end systems and the default free zone* infrastructure would need to be updated. Existing home routers and ISP/corporate networks could remain untouched. If the design was done right even legacy NATs could have been left untouched.
But isn't that in principle what 6in4 and AYIYA do?
Of course they are. But this only allows one network (as networks are always/64). If I want to have three networks (servers on one network, clients on another network, and my lightswitches and fridges on a third network) I will simply be able to do this. And IPv6 allows it. And because there is enough space overall, it is efficient for routing allocations to already now give enough space to everyone so that in the case of growth of an individual enduser, two or more separate entries in a routing table can be avoided.
it`s been years that the issue of insufficient ip space is debated. Governments so keen on regulating our internet experience and the digital tv didn`t even require that new network gear be ready to support it, or did they?
The U.S. government required it for all gear they purchased since 2006(?).
With IPv6, you will get at least a/64 subnet, i.e. 2^64 addresses. Most ISPs will hopefully give you a/48 or a/56, which would allow for 65k or 256/64 subnets.
You probably got a Unique Local Address. This usually doesn't work. My home router (Fritz!Box) is IPv6 capable but unfortunately recommends to turn on ULA in the settings. This can screw things up

Wrong.
That's how it really goes:
Primary Containment: Fuel Rod Cladding (probably damaged in blocks 1 to 3)
Secondary Containment: Reactor Pressure Vessel (probably intact in blocks 1 to 3)
Tertiary Containment: Thick Concrete Containment (that's the one you forgot) (largely intact for blocks 1 to 3)
Quaternary Containment: Outside Reactor building (very damaged)
So where does the radioactivity come from? Probably mainly from the suppression chamber in block 2, which is damaged, and which has a connection with the RPV and the turbine building.

our brain has a very slow clock, on the order of kilohertz.
It's actually only 2 or 3 hertz.

Chrome has that as well: Wrench -> Tools -> Create Application Shortcuts (in fact you can choose desktop, taskbar and/or start menu)

No it doesn't, because the old clients (that haven't been updated to IPv4+) will not be able to talk back to you.

This triggered the allocation of the last five /8 blocks to the five RIRs (one each).

Why is it better to update the IPv4 stack to allow for this new fangled IPv4+ protocol than to update to IPv6 in the first place?
IPv6 autoconfiguration should be able to deal with this.
With IPv6, you will get at least a /64 subnet, i.e. 2^64 addresses. Most ISPs will hopefully give you a /48 or a /56, which would allow for 65k or 256 /64 subnets.
