for people who are used to using numeric ip4 addresses when DNS is slow or for testing purpose or setting up various IP tables or 101 miscellanious thing
Just as a guess, you won't really care in the end when you get v6-ified. And what kind of DNS service are you using if you resort to typing addresses? You might want to make some improvements.
On a similar note, why is there so much FUD surrouding IPv6 here on slashdot? It's as if it was invented by Microsoft, by the sound of it sometimes.
I think you're a bit off by a few orders of magnitude.
Did you read the post? Large bits of IPv6 are deliberately wasted in order to simplify routing. Thus, while there may be many more leaves, the branching structure is only 64k larger, to his estimate.
if he inverted the Y axis by holding it rotated 180 deg. The z axis would be its alt above the desk.
What you are looking for is 180deg of roll.
Roll in which direction? Rolling the airplane way would still give you a mouse with the sensor pointing at the ceiling, while a 180 deg yaw would turn the buttons toward you. Or to be perfectly unambiguous: 180 degrees of rotation in the vertical axis is what we're talking about.
One is, is it harder to get broadband to 58 million people then it is less then a million people or 25 million?
I see your point, but it may or may not be harder, I don't think population size as such should make any difference unless there are problems with scaling networks up. If it is harder, I think it's rather because something is wrong and needs to be fixed, not because it's inherently harder. One thing is sure, anyway: more people = larger base to extract profits from.
No, the answer is not obvious. Population density in the case of the US should not have any significant effect on broadband adoption. Speeds are a different matter altogether. You still haven't presented any case regarding broadband adoption, which is a matter unrelated to broadband speed, since speed is upgradeable most of the time using better equipment, but adoption is a matter of the infrastructure and incentive existing in the first place (and regulation not killing the competition).
I believe the "USA is a large country"-argument has surfaced and been beaten dead a few times already here on slashdot. There are countries that are relatively poorer, more sparsely populated, but have higher broadband adoption.
You know that saying about lies, damn lies, and statistics?
You imply you know that saying, but then proceed to ignore it. Speedtest.net is nice, but what does it have to do with broadband adoption? Furthermore it is unreliable as an indicator of average speeds in a country, since the sample is self-selecting: only people who are interested in their speed will measure it, which would more likely be people with high-speed connections.
There are many technical differences, but the only practical difference between a mod file and a midi file is that the mod file usually includes the samples used. A midi file uses whatever compatible sound source you have available, so if you have a really good synth, you'll get good music, but if you're just using the default built-in crap in Windows, you'll naturally get crap. It doesn't make any sense to say one "sounds better" than the other, since they have no inherent sound quality as such.

What about intended deaths?
Sixpacks don't really get a say in IPv6, any more than Sixpacks have say on anything else about the inner workings of the Internet.

You should see a doctor about that if you require permanent magnets to hold it up.
Microsoft tried that. It kept the doctors away, but the lawyers replaced them.
I really don't think it's the degree that causes that problem.

but nobody wants to see someone else's kid doing it when trying to eat
I have nothing against somebody else enjoying a meal while I'm enjoying one. If you have, please get out of my society.

Java is compiled Just-in-time, though I don't know about smaller, obscure or embedded platforms.
No, the answer is not obvious. Population density in the case of the US should not have any significant effect on broadband adoption . Speeds are a different matter altogether. You still haven't presented any case regarding broadband adoption , which is a matter unrelated to broadband speed, since speed is upgradeable most of the time using better equipment, but adoption is a matter of the infrastructure and incentive existing in the first place (and regulation not killing the competition).
You insist on looking at speeds, but speeds are not the issue.
And who lives in those vast spaces of land? Nobody, it's mostly empty. Empty space doesn't need broadband.

but there are too many idiots and bigots.
And here you are, posting on slashdot...
At least the corporation pays for the privilege.
They did capitalize on it back then, and the results were not impressive. I think a game now would be (or should be) more of a reinvention.
A refined product, at the very least.
Yes, phones qualify. Now there's Intel, Nokia, and Logitech. It's still rare.
Right, but it's a meaningless comparison. Anyone can ship a billion small pieces of metal, it's not interesting.
Because if it isn't comparable, the comparison does not make any sense, perhaps?
Of course it's off the cuff, he even contradicts himself.
