It maxes out at 21 million of them, but apparently it's dividable up to 8 digits. so there's 21*10^6 * 10^8 => 21 * 10^14 => 2.1 quadrillion units. at least that's what their FAQ says. consider the fact that bitcoins can be lost and it's easily less than that.
You don't convince them to drop tumblr, you tell them why you are, and where they can find you. if they're really following you they will follow you somewhere else too.
Even if you can't find a reason to stop watching those channels, give an antenna a shot, you may still be able to get all the locals for free, and spend even less per month.
There was a "for future use" kind of thing, but it came about too late and never saw much adoption in players i've ever seen. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CD-Text
in fact up until this release it was only ever possible to use XvBA through VA-API. now there's a possibility of that changing but i doubt it. Instead i believe this will result in a more stable XvBA backend for VA-API so that it'll end up easier to use.
That's just it, nobody offers NATv6 because it *shouldn't* be needed. instead you use a real firewall and you get the same protect you got with NAT but with an ip for every computer. if you don't like the idea of having a globally route-able address for every computer turn on the privacy extensions and then your ip will change so that the addresses are useless to anyone else. As it is, people are used to having a "router" to connect multiple computers and have wireless already. this device would change into just a firewall + AP. if you want to get rid of that device and just have an AP, every modern OS comes with a firewall built in that should suffice. NAT doesn't give you security, it just makes it harder to route packets ("security" through obscurity), a proper firewall can also prevent things outgoing for security also.
No the real danger is when space travel becomes common place and your descendants are required to go there every week and clean the place up from trash and debris that all the people on the bypass toss there.

Yea that is one large danger when everyone is free to come around and reinvent something because of a problem, many times it would be nice to just slightly transform the existing API (either extending it or depreciating part of it) to fix the problem rather than start from scratch.

and since I'm bored right now. I believe one of the biggest issues was that the design made it extraordinarily hard for them to rename or reclassify things because of the number of xml files that had to be changed. so whenever a deficiency was found it was difficult to fix.

Actually I was going with the reasoning that was on the HAL mailing lists when it was decided to depreciate it. The design of it wasn't very good for handling all the hardware quirks that it was handling (all kinds of graphics card quirks related to suspend, bios things, etc.) and they had started to have maintenance issues. Regardless of it's age or it's version number the HAL developers themselves decided this and decided to depreciate HAL and switch architectures for the whole thing. HAL itself has also gotten very noisy on DBUS since it will send out events without anyone listening.

Actually dropping HAL for PolicyKit/ConsoleKit/udev makes it considerably lighter in that regard. HAL has always been a beast of a system that got so unwieldy to maintain and fix that they started dismantling it years ago. As far as ThunarVFS vs GIO, I'm not sure, but it shouldn't be much different and at least reduces the amount of code around that duplicates functions, this should at least make your system itself lighter (unless you've got nothing but XFCE apps on your system, in which case there shouldn't be a change).
There is support for doing that kind of thing, and it should be doable in theory. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Private_network#Private_IPv6_addresses there is a giant number of private addresses and you should be able to easily set those up in tandem with the globally routable ones.
Now consider the fact that even over Europe there are tens of thousands of cities, and that you'd have to also install new distribution boxes everywhere to deal with the different media. Next you'd have to either provide the copper hookup still to each and every house so that they could get tv on it still, or you would have to provide new STBs to every single customer. That's lots and lots and lots of investment in time and money and while it wouldn't take millions of jobs to do it, it would most certainly take thousands. So why spend all that money when you can instead use the existing infrastructure without wasting very much energy (it takes energy to replace all that copper and produce all the fiber) by instead upgrading the systems on it?
For a bad car analogy, it's like the cash for clunkers program. You can potentially help the environment more by keeping your car on the road more and offsetting the manufacturing cost of the car instead of treating it like a disposable commodity.
Just because some distros try to act like windows doesn't mean others can't or that it's going to cause others to not try something new. How else would we have 4000 of them?
If the fish was brought up without proper pressure then yes it would take a significant amount of time to rise and live (maybe even impossible). I belive that they typically manage to store them in some kind of pressure vessel so that they can keep them at least close to the same pressure until they can perform a study on them. either that or they just let them explode i don't know.
Of course, there is still always the possibility you have a hacked C compiler. Man, I can't remember the name of it now, but sometime in, I think it was the 80's, someone made a pretty famous presentation/paper about putting a self-perpetuating trojan into a compiler. You could give the compiler source code, and the binary of the compiler to the 'mark', but you could completely remove the exploit from the source code, as long as the exploit was coded to compile itself into subsequent builds of the compiler; that is, the binary was infected, but the source was not, but it didn't matter since the infected binary could build a copy of itself into the next build of the compiler. The exploit could then additionally do something like whenever it built other binaries or libraries, add some exploit code to them as well.

I always found the logical progression of that game to be much much more fun. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scorched_Earth_(computer_game) Along with having AI players, you had wind and landscape between you and different weapons to play with. The newer 3d version is also fun but for some reason lacks the same thing that made me want to play for hours. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scorched_3D
