I need to get one of those so I can sleep better and end turn produce better code for my website that will eventually rule the world!!! MUAHAHAHAHA... oh wait... slashdot already claimed that position. I guess I can settle for second best.
On a more serious note, I wonder if this will help some people with insomia finally fall asleep. In that case, the worlds geek population will greatly diminish as the fakes that are just slight tech people who don't get enough sleep will go back to doing whatever it was they were doing before:)
Ahhh, those were the days..... Gorilla still ran at a decent speed, but then when these new fangled contraptions came around, the banana moved at the speed of light!
I actually kinda look forward to having the ability to get such a service. I don't know about most of you, but I'm an email pack rat. Something like this would definately come in handy, but the only problem I could see with it is what if someone hacked my account and read all of my emails. Do they have the ability to back up your inbox to your harddrive for a seperate soft copy? I wasn't one of the ones lucky enough to get the Beta Test.
I have a better idea. Train venomous snakes and the like to blow up land mines. Nobody will miss a snake that will possibly bite the crap out of you and kill you.
But of course. There is no perfect solution. I can understand what you mean about BGP though, but you can buy more memory for the routers and that'd probably be the best solution for that. I understand that certain features cause certain problems, but if it were me, I'd be using some slightly older tried and true IOS versions including those features. Also, if something doesn't work, they count on you to report it so they can fix it and provide you with better service.
IOS is responsible for switching packets on a fair amount of heavy links; ipfw is responsible for switching packets at your average LAN.
Come on now, that has got to be some sort of argument fallacy. People don't use it, so it must not be as good. Anyone who has ever dealt with Cisco routers is most likely aware at how downright annoying they can be. Nothing like finding a router that crashes every 20 minutes, or finding that everything goes to the shitter because of too large of a routing table.
Now see, if you were actually doing everything the right way, you wouldn't have that problem. You either don't know what you're doing or do and are just ignorant. There is a solution to large routing tables, and it's called route summerization. The only thing that causes it to not work so well is using Variable Length Subnet Masks. If you are a stub network off of an ISP, your routing table should only really consist of one route anyway....... A default route saying that any network that is not yours goes out blah/blah interface or to blah.blah.blah.blah. I've been dealing with Cisco routers for about a year now and have not had a single problem with them aside from the occasional slip up on the user end(me). If your router is crashing every 20 minutes like you say it is, maybe you should try using one of the more stable IOS releases. Cisco does release solid code, but if you're using a release that isn't known to be stable in a production network, that's your fault. That's like trying to use yesterday's dev build and asking for it to work perfectly. It just doesn't happen.
Why not bring those who aren't interested in the broadband services dialup networking for free? Ya know, since they are so into torturing themselves with long download periods. I think they'll change their mind when their spam starts to take 3 hours to download.
Think about stem cell research. If in the future (as it looks like it will be), it woudl be possible to grow those organs from a slightly modified version of the child's stem cells (with the smooth muscle disorder corrected), then those would all have to be transplanted into the body. The same applies for adults who say may have stomach cancer. A new stomach and gastrointestinal tract, just to be safe, would be grown and then transplanted in.
The only problem with this, and I think this is why the politicians are so against it (if they are smart enough to see it), is if we keep growing replacement organs for ourselves and fixing what is wrong, then we will in a sense live forever even though the quality of life may have deminished to absolute zero. In addition to that, the population of the world will inevitably grow in size as no one is dying and everyone is reproducing. Then comes problems of famine and overcrowding. We are already seeing examples of this today.
However... there is another side to this... this little girl got 8 organs... which means that there are potentially 8 other kids who might have needed each of those organs. Statistically 8 children each needing 1 organ have a better chance of survival then 1 child who needs 8 organs.
IMHO that's the only way that someone could argue against trying to help this little girl with the world being the way it is today.
That's the reason why I was supporting mu-sly in their opinion on the matter. Even though I do agree with you and the others about considering life vs. money and choosing money vile, the latter of the points is what swayed me.
Ahh, how I remember laughing extremely hard when I heard news that Cisco was recalling their releases of their new IOS that supported IPv6 when they discovered that they left off a whole octet of numbers. That was awhile ago though.
Chalk that one up as a blunder.
In a way, I do agree with most in saying that IPv6 is way too big for right now. However, in looking ahead at all of the new devices we are getting that have network connections and require IP Addresses.... IPv6 pretty much gives you an excuse to have an IP address for your toaster. Then again, unless you can break the theoretical 65k barrier of PAT by having over 65k things in your house that require an IP addy, there's really no need to go as far as IPv6 here in the US. NAT/PAT with IPv4 seems to be doing the job quite nicely here.
Speaking of hostile.... I didn't say I thought she should have been killed before she was introduced into society, I was just saying that the orignal poster was just bringing up another line of thought on the subject. You don't have to get hostile over it because that's the point of discussion. If you feel that strongly about it, try to rebut it using words other than fuck.
The more organs, the more likely it is for her immune system to react and reject the foreign organs. I wonder what their plan is for the child's immune system. A 6 month old immune system is fairly weak,...
I would think that being as how the 6 month old childs immune system is fairly week, that it might not know to defend against the organs. Maybe it'll adapt as if the organs in her now were the originals and her immune system will develop normally, if not stronger than before. This is just a point of view from a non-medical standpoint, but I thought it'd be interesting none-the-less.
Man.... Sorry to hear about your really bad experience at birth, but chill out a little. He was just bringing up another line of thought on the matter. That reply seemed extremely sarcastic, if not hostile.
And you thought that being told you were adopted was bad..... just wait until this starts making it into the common pool of things to be told while you are growing up.
Ahh, but there is an audit trail. Each machine tallies its own number of votes independantly from the rest of the machines. And there is a paper trail, just not for the individual voter. Like a few others here, I'm also not at liberty to go into too much detail about it, but I can tell you from what I've seen(as a soon to be CCNA and 15+ years of computer experience) The system is very secure. Everybody is just way too paranoid about the whole thing. Paper ballots are actually alot LESS secure than the electronic voting machines. 5% to 100% human error when counting paper ballots, 0% to 2% machine error(not effecting the votes, but more so the machines malfunctioning mostly due to power failure[not being plugged in properly by humans], bad screens[which have been tested numerous times now]) There is no way something could be tampered with, as someone said before on the boards, everything is tamper-proof and everything is easily seen. I think Diebold just needs to do what they did for this one college campus; take a machine and let whoever wants to take a crack at trying to sway an "election" to do so. I'm telling you from where I stand, I've seen a lot, and EVERYTHING is covered. If something were to really happen, just like it could with the paper system(more noticable even), you'd know about it. Just get up, get a (insert favorite beverage here), and go back to (insert favorite activity here).
Agreed, that's why you have to look at what it means to you, or approach it from an abstract point of view. There are many possible meanings behind poetry.
Knowing Cisco and their current IOS settings, they usually have it to where you can turn something like this off if you do not want it/like it. They are also good at making it to where you can turn such features off for certain ports. It could also be used to the effect that if you know the user on the computer is a complete n00b, you can turn on this service for their computer because you know they'll probably get a virus from opening one of those emails from people they don't even know.
Naturally we aren't going to know everything about the computer(or the virus) once we have managed to create one, but it is one of the first steps to gaining that understanding. The best way to learn something that there is no documentation on is to tinker with it until you find out how it works or what makes it tick. That's how most of us learned how computers work without having to go to school for it. It'll only get worse as the generations behind us grow even more curious than ourselves.

I was actually starting to get used to them having reacquired Bellsouth, now they are right back to their old ways. Maybe they should be split AGAIN.

Awesome! Where do I sign up? I always wanted a boombox that was capable of compiling code AND playing my MP3'S :D
Not Budget. Someone needs to cut back on using jets and charging it to the organizations account.

What about the vast numbers of children that die each day due to starvation? Could they not do the same?

T'aint it lovely how religious cultures do that to other cultures around the world once they invade?
