Not sure. Carrier Grade NAT is quite expensive as well, and a big mess to administer. It is much worth than NAT at your home router as plug and play can be used by programmes to open ports dynamically. So once you go CGN, expect many support calls because of broken stuff.
I expect most ISPs to hand out native IPv6, and - once out of IPv4 - offer CGN as a stopgap for users to reach IPv4-only servers. The biggest and most popular sites are IPv6 enabled already, and I would expect the others to follow suit as well.
I hope that this will serve as another incentive to move to IPv6. Allocations by RIPE NCC have already been very conservative over the last year (only allowing you to apply for new IPv4 space for three months of growth), so by the end of the year, there will be a real squeeze at the final customer level. I am lucky in that my ISP provides both IPv4 and native IPv6, so I will not be affected, but very few people are in such a position.
Our company switched from BB a month ago, we could choose between Galaxy Nexus and iPhone 4S (I had a BB Bold 9000 before). I took the Nexus and am very happy, and the only thing I hated at first was the touchscreen keyboard.
After a short search on the web, I came across the Swype keyboard (also on-screen), which allows you to type a lot faster as you keep your finger on the screen when moving from letter to letter. I think I now type even more quickly than on my BB. The only thing that is difficult is to type while walking, which was easier on the BB.
I am quite happy now that I chose the Nexus as Swype is not available on the iPhone. Some of my colleagues are quite annoyed that they picked the iPhone after I showed them Swype!
You are probably correct. I have not used the extension much but had it installed for a while. Interesting that Google would allow a developer called youtube.com!
I don't think Google objects to MP3 rips of the soundtracks of their videos - after all, YouTube offers an official Chrome extension that does the same:
I think they have a problem because the external service drives people away from the YouTube website. In any case, I can't see why Google would not have the right to simply stop serving Videos to the IP addresses of the servers of the download service. So in some sense, they were nice to send a letter asking him to stop.
I recently purchased Ronald Jenkee's "Disorganized Fun" in FLAC format. I stored it on Megaupload and (protected with password), since I wanted to have a backup.
Another guy now purchases the same album in FLAC format(from the same place, obviously), and decides to upload the whole album onto Megaupload, and share the links with the world.
So, why exactly do you think my copy should be deleted?
It shouldn't be because you password protected it. Unless you use the same password and the same encryption scheme, the MD5 would have been different. Interesting question though if you had not encrypted the file, and it had the same MD5; since when using it as a backup, you did not share the URL to the file. However, it should be noted that Megaupload was a very bad backup service since they deleted files that were not downloaded regularly
Indeed, I work in Europe. I somehow had in the back of my mind that there is less vacation in the US, but 2 weeks seems really too little. How do you manage to go on holidays?
Ice Cream Sandwich will allow you to disable pre-installed apps. They will not be removed as they are stored in the read-only-part (i.e. you don't gain the space) but the icon will disappear and they will never run again until re-enabled.
Wouldn't it be possible to verify the certificates via the DNS? Once that is secured with DNSSEC, this should be a very good solution. Or am I missing something?
No, I didn't really. I googled it and it is USA independence day. I vaguely remember having heard that date before, but it was certainly not in my active part of my memory. (Being from continental Europe, I was not really affected by US independence and have no reason to remember this exact date. More important is probably to know the time when it roughly happened; IIRC it was at the end of the 18th century.)
I still think you are mistaken. The Omnibox in Chrome is the only thing that sends potentially private data to Google (if you choose to, you can also turn it off or choose to send it to Bing, Yahoo, Ask, etc), and this is in the nature of the Omnibox. I don't really see how it is very different from the search box on Firefox (where the information also goes to Google or Bing rather than Firefox by the way).
I consider SRWare Iron more or less a useless product, which hard codes a number of options that you could (de)select yourself easily. I think it also disables updates and malware protection (which Chrome implements in a way that causes no privacy issues). Iron was probably created to advertise the company SRWare.
Would be happy if you could point me to these "marketing and promotion sites" you speak of where third parties offer data-mining based on Chrome's data submitted to Google. Either those sites are lying or you are mistaken that they exist.
Even Chrome, (and especially the feature gap between Chrome and Chromium) is unsettling - you're agreeing to far more tracking than its chief competitor, Firefox.
I call bullshit. What exactly gets tracked in Chrome that doesn't get tracked in Firefox?
I'll tell you: Nothing gets tracked at all in Chrome except in the days after install, where they only track whether you successfully installed the browser, and whether you started using it.
Of course, if you select the option to send usage data to Google (which is unselected by default), more information gets tracked and sent to Google. But you can hardly complain about this, can you?
If a robotic car makes a mistake, crashes, and kills someone, who goes to jail?
Typically, even after a fatal accident, no one goes to jail, unless things like excessive speed, DUI, driving without licence, etc come into play. The insurance of the driver that caused the accident will normally pay all damages (can be a lot if someone becomes disabled). No reason to think it would work differently when a robotic car causes an accident. In fact, if robotic cars turn out to be safer, insurance premiums will be lower.

That was a guy from the NFTA that said that, not TSA.

Rot13 is great, but to be safe, I always apply it twice.

Use the "Verbatim" option.
Seriously, the first paragraph of TFA states the SSID: “F--- All Jews and N----”. I assume they used "Fuck" and "Niggers" in reality.
Indeed, I work in Europe. I somehow had in the back of my mind that there is less vacation in the US, but 2 weeks seems really too little. How do you manage to go on holidays?
What kind of slave driver company would only give 2 weeks of vacation per year??? I don't know anyone that has less than 5-6 weeks per year.
It is done to avoid being locked out due to browser sniffing.
this has not been true for more than 2 years. Ads do get blocked from download.
Exactly. Anybody has the link to the original decision? I'm sure it will sound a lot more thought through than the Telegraph tries to imply.

Even chrome maximized on windows... the top pixel or two aren't part of the tab, so you have to bring it back down a couple pixels.
Wrong. You can hit the top and click and it will change to the respective tab. At least in Win 7 which is what I have at the moment.
Well, in Brussels, Zen Car has had stations for a couple of months now.
The Schneier article is very speculative and doesn't have many facts.
