  1. Replacing NAT with IPv6 on IPv6 for the Linksys WRT54G · · Score: 1

    Can this be done? I currently have a WRT54G with the sveasoft firmware. Is there some way it could work to have IPv6 internally as well as to end points that support IPv6 while keeping current IPv4 configuration? I have no clue on IPv6 Tunneling but from the generic definition what would be the end point of this tunnel where it would connect to the IPv6 world?

    More than that though, it contradicted Leia's recollections in Jedi - where she remembers her "real mother."
    One possible explanation would be that she didn't remember Padme at all but instead remembered Senator Organna's wife who passes away a few years later?

    If they release Blu-Ray now and have it available everywhere (integrated in a pc,tivo,dvd recorder device etc etc?) they will have enough momentum to win outright (with content being split roughly 50-50 as it seems to be at the moment)

    This may seem a bit naive but if someone has this setup at home, what features do they actually use? I mean stuff like three way calling / voice mail etc are already provided with most if not telephone lines. I'd love to tinker with it but would love to hear opinions on why an average home would want this?

  16. Re:No matter what free will always win... on Would You Pay 5 Cents For a Song? · · Score: 1

    Isn't there something fundamentally wrong when pro sports players, singers etc achieve god like wealth while those that actually advance society get a pittance in comparison, not to mention others in the same (creative) field. The idea isnt that CD's are expensive per se but their time has come and gone. The reason for copyright is to encourage creativity no? Doesnt the artificially inflated costs of CD achieve the exact opposite. If i have $100 a month to burn on CD's the amount of music I could sample would be much more limited. Not to mention the argument that a very small percentage of that money actually makes it to the artists themselves. How about music be sold for a pittance to 'hook in' listeners, then artists earn money off of live performances. The more popular you are the higher premium you can command on tickets?

  17. Re:"militants"? on Militants Planned Attack On Indian Software Firms · · Score: 1

    So what we have here is armed men entering Iraq for the sole purpose of stirring up shit.
    *tongue in cheek*... talking about the US army? :)
    My point simply was while you and a significant portion of americans (fyi i am an american) view the US in Iraq as a liberating force they are also viewed by others rightly or wrongly as an occupying force. Hence all the deaths in their pov caused as a result are due to US terrorism?
    i'm not condoning terrorism by anyone - blowing up schools, infrastructure, innocent civilians (and they are innocent until proven otherwise) by the US or Al Qaeda or Iraqi Insurgents is pretty similar in the end result. I guess it goes to the core of the matter, justifying the deaths of an innocent cuz you're a good guy? the ends do not justify the means........

  19. Re:FM Radio on Sony takes on iPod Shuffle · · Score: 2, Insightful
    iPod quality mp3 player = $400
    Sony cybershot 5.1 DSC-T1/M1 > $500
    Razr v3 (popular classy phone?) $600

    Convergence device including the 3 = $400 + $500 + $600 = $1500?
    Would you be willing to pay that much if it were technically possible? The issue is people primarily want one device and are willing to pay a specific amount for it, say 500 bucks for a great phone, some manufacturers will distinguish their offering by adding on a crappy camera (50 bucks?) as technology improves their will come a point where the crappy camera will be good (cheap) enough for general use, ditto on the mp3 player etc. Until the incremental cost for a great add-on is more then what the market will bear of course they'll put in crappy stuff. For me the new 2 MP cameras seem to be at the point where it could actually be fun having one around, check out the K750i by Sony

    Ask the vietnamese? iraqi people @ abu Ghraib and so on who exactly they think a terrorist is? As they say one mans terrorist is anothers freedom fighter (a la Israeli's pre-Israel).
    When you get the time watch the British documentary The Power of Nightmares: The rise of the politics of fear about how terrorism was given prominence when the US politicians lost their primary nemesis due to the fall of the USSR. Very insightful stuff.
    Its available on the bittorrent networks among other places.

    Not entirely accurate.
    India had both British provinces and princely states. See The 2nd map
    Also check the following Encarta reference . The examples you gave Hyderabad, Junagarh and Kashmir were princely states (Sindh for example was not) that didnt initially decide.
    Hyderabad chose independance but was invaded and conquered by India in 1948.
    Muslim majority Kashmir's Hindu leaders chose to join India which resulted in the military standoff, rebellion and current bloodshed
    Hindu majority Junagardh chose to join Pakistan but a plebescite brought it into India

    Check out part 3 of the UN Resolution
    PART III The Government of India and the Government of Pakistan reaffirm their wish that the future status of the State of Jammu and Kashmir shall be determined in accordance with the will of the people and to that end, upon acceptance of the truce agreement, both Governments agree to enter into consultations with the Commission to determine fair and equitable conditions whereby such free expression will be assured.
    Bottom line it doesnt and SHOULDNT matter what Pakistan or India want, simply ask the people of Kashmir what they want and get it over with.
