The State of IPv6

· Score: 1
V8 was invented by one of the denizens of Bell labs and the guy who funded ihnp4, and actually works. Because he refuses to let ISOC copyright his stuff and has been burned by the various I* groups he is somewhat of a pariah. However v8 actually works today and interoperates with v4 and has for years and is already in the Microsoft, Linux and BSD stacks.
If you look at the "6 over 4" spec and the v8 spec you'll realize it's the same thing and was adopted several years back, they simlpy adopted v8 and changed the name, the addresssing is exactly the same - just look at the bits.
Whenever somebody says IPV8 isn't real or is a joke ask them to explain it to you - they can't. THe derision is for political, not technical reasons.
And bseides, haveing Randy Bush call you a sociopath means you're on the righttrack
We have a cell phone, or rather my wife does. It sits in the kitchen in its cradle 99% of the time. We'll use it if we're going more than into town (we live way out in the country) and is really for emergancies.
The only person it annoyes is me when the bill comes ("golly aren't roaming charges large").
So, I RTFA and what do I see? Blinky blinky flashy flash flash flash blink blink ads strewn all over the page with wild abondon.
I can live with annoying cell phones; granted I don't live in those bastions of near infinite politeness such as New York or LA where they seem to be more obtrusive than they do in say Madoc or Belleville, but if I could go back in time and kill the clown that invented animated gifs and flash I probably would.
It's true if you are a woman and don't wear the headgear you can be arrested in Saudi Arabia.
Their culture demands it.
Now, American culture also demands a dress code. What happens if a woman walks around topless? Golly, she's arrested.
Each culture has it's own norms. Willingly violate it and you're in trouble, whether you're in Saudi or the United States. Why is this so difficult to understand?
In 1983 I worked for a compnay in LA with 40 Arabs; we were building bilingual Arabic english S-100 CP/M computrs. I'm Canadian, I ported WordStar to Arabic and did the bios, drivers and utilities. There were 5 programmers, we all worked for this Jewish guy who was an undisputable genius at all things hardware and software.
Like most people I suppose, we went in with the same preconceived notions about Arabs.
One day our boss (Greg Laskin) found a package of Hebrew National salami in the fridge and approached the President, who he worked directly for inquiring about this. This is what he was told; I was there:
"We have nothing agains Jews, we have the same dietary laws, we eat their food, certainly; we believe in the same God, not like Hindus (spit) who worship cows (spit). We have some political differences, and hate Israel and England for creating it but we have nothing against Jews per se".
It was an interesting experience. There were some right whack people there (but not dangerously so), and some really really cool ones that I still keep in touch with to this day. I got to meet all sorts of interesting people - Sheik Yamani, visting academics, the Royal family so on and so forth.
But the best part was the food. My god the food was amazing. Like nothing on earth.
Being born in the UK in the late 50's I was pretty much taught to hate Germans and Arabs, and it took years to find out from first hand experince they were noting like what I'd been convinced they were like. I'm actually a pretty big fan of all things German these days actually; the first time I went to Berlin it blew me away how soft spoken, fiendly and helpful the people were. Golly, they aren't like Nazi's in British war movies after all? What a shock.
All races have their trash. ALL races.
I still hate some people: stupid people, although "avoid and pity" is probably more apt than "hate".
I bought an E350 for $300 off ebay, realized I had $$$ left over and bought an E4500 for $1500 again from ebay. A handfull of 64 bit processors, gobs of ram and buckets of RAID SCSI storage. That sure made out net conneciton the choke point instantly.
They're amazingly impressive boxen, expecially for the money.
I realize this has nothing to do with the blade, but, not so old used Sun hardware is a fooking amazing bargin.
I just wish thet had flashy blinky lights and bit-switches like an old 360. Big iron should in my book.:-)
The most expensive thing about these boxes is the electricity, it's about 12X what a PC uses. (Around here a PC costs about $9/mo to power)
For a Postgressql server I'm not sure you can beat this price/performance.
There's a reason fish are generally dull silver things with at best some green or brown or black, it's camoflage. Xanthic mutations ("yellow fish") or albinos occur sporadically in aquaria but are never found in nature.
Why? Is it because they never occur in nature? No, of course they do. They just get eaten very very quickly because they stand out.
Now, obviously there are exceptions to this, coral reef fish, some killifish, Amazon fish such as neons are all brightly colored, but they are the exceptions not the rules and tend to more or less keep to themselves and don't have the predators other fish do.
So, if you release some glowfish into the wild I would certainly expect them to get eaten, and very very quickly, but I would doubt very highly they could actually establsh a population in the wild. These fish are expensive. How many are supposed to escape into the wild at any one time? 2? 4? We really care about this?
One thing that's unclear to me, and perhaps somebody who knows better than me can explain this, where does the bacterial and viral genes enter into this? From what I've read (and I've read what I can about these, I write for a tropical fish magzine (TFH) and these things are definitly causing a big buzz) the glowiness comes from anemone genes.
I'm much much more concerned with random gene folding in GM soy than I am about a bunch of stupid Zebrafish.
I'm stilly pretty happy with the Sun badged SONY GDM's you can buy on ebay at STOOPID cheap prices and while all this LCD/Plasma stuff looks right frikkin groovy and all I do have to wonder about the longevity. Note that I still have the industial Sony monitor (KV1311CR) I got with my Amiga 1000 (serial # 13!) back in 85 and it's still got a great great great picture.
Are these LCD/plasma things gonna work in 10 years? 15? 20?
Yes, it'll break a 32 bit counter which will wrap around in 2038.
If you're still using a 32 bit computer in 2038 you may as well right now, begin walking around with your thumb and finger making the shape of an L on your forehead.
The time/datestamp should have always been this way; more to the point do you know of any other TLD that at least attempts to be this communicative? They don't do this because ICANN, or anybody, makes them.
How bout.NAME ("oops, we were rooted") or.PRO ("Hi ICANN, I know we said we wouldn't sell SLD name but we're dying here, and we ask a second time can we sell SLD name pleeeeeeeease?") or.biz ("home of more spam since 2000! Yeah baby!!") or any of the cctlds that have (cough) lame servers.
Bitch at NSI all you want, they're still the model of a well, if not best run TLD.
And spare me the crap about sitefinder, 22 other tlds did this long before NSI did,.WS did it 3 years ago.
It's reasonable to whine when they do a bad thing (like agree to ICANN oversight, you folks have no idea how close they were to the, um "alternative") but for things that have little or no effect you're reacting to the corporate name not the actual change.
So, put NSI under greater ICANN control? NOT. Frankly we'd be better of if they put ICANN under NSI control.
Hey, is this one of those thigns you can't say because it's hersey?
The Mac was gonna set the world on fire. It did desktop publishing to beat all hell. But not Lotus 1-2-3 so one got put in the graphics department and everybody else got PCs. And Lotus.
The Amiga was one of the neatest computers ever made, it outperformed the PC in every respect... but it never ran Lotus 1-2-3. Two businesses bought them and they were gone within 5 years.
Whatever software your idiot boss needs to run dictates the platform the company and businesses in general, will use. There are simply no exceptions to this rule.

Know why divorce is so expensive?
Because it's WORTH IT.

Amen, brother.
Oops, didn't mean to use an Arabic word. My bad.
In 1983 I worked for a compnay in LA with 40 Arabs; we were building bilingual Arabic english S-100 CP/M computrs. I'm Canadian, I ported WordStar to Arabic and did the bios, drivers and utilities.

There are? You're kidding? Where?

When tropical fish are outlawed, only outlaws will have tropical fish.
-38 and dropping, eh? Mighty cold here tonight eh?
May have to go find my coat, eh? This sweater just don't work when it gets chilly like this eh?
It's even colder outside eh?
I mean, really.

Yeah I know a guy at Intel.
They also have about 1000 BSD servers.
Saaaaaaaaaay... no there's an idea. It'll probably make more money than the wifi idea. Just wait till the vulture capitalists hear of this.
WordStar, baby, WordStar.
Yes, it'll break a 32 bit counter which will wrap around in 2038.
If you're still using a 32 bit computer in 2038 you may as well right now, begin walking around with your thumb and finger making the shape of an L on your forehead.

.WS did it 3 years ago.
