With one little distinction - things work correctly by default with simple routing and without magicaly requirements in the applications - and usually with less work and less load, and less memory requirements on the firewall.
Don't be confusing the subject with informed posts! The last thing we need is someone posting on the topic who actually understands the subject matter. Now get back to work!
There is always a server. Even multicast has a server.
You should be 100% wrong on both accounts. In peer to peer, there is no server which is exactly why it avoids the client/server nomenclature. For multicast, there is no server - ever. There is only senders and joined receivers. Senders need never even know they are sending packets via multicast.
Just because it's not externally addressable does not mean it should not have an externally addressable address. This is why I specifically mentioned routers and firewalls. This is also why I argue they are distinct issues.
Then your networking needs are simplistic at best. Take a look at how many coders are forced to implement "NAT punch-through" - and this is for fairly simplistic requirements. Wouldn't it be nice if the networking stack actually took care of the end-to-end details - as intended? And there are still times where heavily NAT'd networks still have problems with "NAT punch-through" if the need is as complex as peer to peer. Ya, I know...complex stuff like peer to peer. Wow.
Wouldn't it be nice to actually have things "just work" while getting all the additional benefits IPv6 provides? Most in the know think so.
Most machines don't need an externally accessible IP.
Which has nothing to do with the IPv4 vs IPv6 debate. Regardless of which stack you use, you are never forced to have externally accessible IP addresses. This is what firewalls, routers, and reserved, non-routable addresses are for.
IPv6 has 64-bit addresses. MAC addresses are only 48-bits wide. Some addressing schemes use MAC addresses as part of the address to ensure no IP conflicts can exist.
God, I'm tired of it being repeated that IPV4 addresses are running out. Everybody who's not a journalist should know that it's not true.
There's no reason every person on earth needs an IP. Nat+uPNP is perfectly capable and 100% backwords compatible.
I'm so tired of seeing someone post this rubbish every time these articles come out. uPNP is a security issue and many routers either don't support it or smartly have it turned off. NAT is a hak at best and limits the power of users while creating no end of issues for others. Anyone that still believes NAT is a solution compared to IPv6 is uninformed at best.
Unless you see companies giving up massive IPv4 blocks (which isn't happening), we ARE running out of addresses. Period. We have two choices, force blocks to be freed, which is unlikely, or migrate to IPv6. IPv4 has so many issues, only a dope would spend political clout freeing IPv4 when we already have IPv6 which addresses the core issue while fixing so many of IPv4 woes.
This really is a problem that doesn't exist. The issue at hand is if you have all cores cranking away you run out of bandwidth. Simple solution - don't run all cores and continue to scale horizontally as they currently do. So if you need 8-core CPUs and it has the bandwidth you need, only buy 8-core CPUs. If your CPUs run out of bandwidth are 16-cores (or whatever), then only buy up to 16-core CPUs, passing on the 32-core CPUs.
I know what I said and I understand what you can't seem to grasp.
You're very defensive about this topic. You should really figure it out and improve that aspect of your life.
You can't reason with unreasonable people so we're done. If that's what you believe you understood, despite clear objects, then so be it. It only highlights you have at least two personality flaws which require some introspection.
you aren't suggesting a BMW is the same as a KIA, are you?
Since I never suggested such a thing, that's a silly question. Just the same, I'll answer. Of course not. But contrary to common perception, the delta between your typical vehicle (which is not a Kia) and what you get with the luxury class isn't that far apart either. In fact, often more technology and higher precision goes into sports cars than does many luxury cars - yet the luxury car often costs 2-5x as much.
You also need to keep in mind, the price difference between your common vehicle and lower end cars like Merc or BMW is often artificial tariffs. Most of Europe looks at many of these cars as American's look at Chevys. In other words, much of America's high perception of BMW and Merc is nothing more than marketing.
Even funnier, often the difference in parts between your typical vehicle and one which goes on a luxury vehicle is often only a part number change and 2-5x cost increase - and that's no exaguration. But what do you expect when most of these guys believe Car & Driver is a mag worth reading. Or believe comparing HP numbers of completely unrelated cars/powertrains has any relevance what so ever. All of which is really beside the point.
You jumped to conclusions. Obviously, not all wealthy people are as I portrayed but the point remains. Regardless of what the vehicle looks like, many wealthy and wanna-be (which is not me) wealthy will buy objects for the sole purpose of flaunting a status symbol. And this doesn't change that cars are the largest impulse purchase most people will ever make. The fact that it is an impulse purchase for anyone is truly dumbfounding.
You also seem to be confused about wealth in the US too. Far too many "wealthy" people live at their income level or beyond, saving nothing for retirement. I do not consider these people wealthy. Ironically, much of the truly wealthy in the US laugh at these people because you would never notice them on the street - which was perhaps the point you are trying to convey.
Lastly, critical examination of facts does not make one an egotists. Perhaps you should examine your self as to why a critical examination of these people have you in such a defencive posture. In other words, perhaps the issue which has you upset rests on your side of the keyboard.
I did not mean to imply text configuration files are a panacea. There certainly are valid complaints and I believe I levelled one my self. Just the same, by in large, so long as a human rather than an automated tool is performing the configuration it is simply not worth getting upset because in the time it takes to cool back down you can have the configuration change completed.
Unlikely to be true. Cars are a status symbol. Cars are also the most expensive impulse purchase most will ever own. The combination of the two ensures the wealthy will continue to purchase cars simply because they are expensive - so long as the general public is also aware they are expensive.
Over the last three decades, some of the most expensive luxury cars have had some of the worst mechanical reliability problems and sales continued strong. The wealthy don't care if it runs good. The wealthy generally don't care what it looks like. The bottom line, does it project a sense of wealth, status, and entitlement? If the answer is yes, the vehicle will sell. Look at how ugly some of the high end luxury cars were during the 80s and 90s for proof.
I remember during the 80's someone wrote Ann Landers complaining their high end luxury car came with tinted windows and no one was able to see him using his cell phone - or for that matter, see him driving his uber expensive vehicle. Remember, this is when cel phones were attached to the vehicle and simply owning one had status implications. He was most upset about it. And that mentality is what rules the roost. It's about status and convincing the general public his tiny penis is actually larger than yours - nothing else.
That's always the problem, isn't it? Slow adopters, I mean.
You're right about that. But let's not forget ALSA has OSS compatibility which is pretty dang good, but not 100%. Pulse also has ESD and ALSA compatibility. The combination will cover the vast majority of your audio needs.
Over the next year or so, compatibility should further improve as pulse becomes even more entrenched.
I forget, did the Flash plugin ever move on to ALSA? I assume they haven't even thought about moving to Pulseaudio yet..
Check it out, Adobe made the change when they pushed for version 10 parity on linux of the flash plugin. It already supports pulseaudio. They now support 64-bit Linux with Pulseaudio, so they're way ahead of ya.

I hold a patent for British English to American English translations. If you've ever watched a British show which used the word, "fag", and turned to a friend or family member and said, "cigarette", you owe me money. This patent is equally stupid and without merit. HTML is so close to XML it's sad and there has already been standardization efforts to create XML compliant HTML (XHTML). To make matters worse, they are using XML as intended so the patent is both obvious and as intended by the technology creators. Please find the patent agent which granted this patent and begin flogging him while forcing him to shoulder all legal costs to fight this patent which is woefully invalid.
What a dope; because we know this has worked so well for windows. The registry is a nightmare on Windows. Linux/Unix does have a consistent model and it is known as text configuration files. It's powerful and can be leveraged on even the slowest of links. One size does not fit all - although I've seen far too many applications use XML for this where it makes absolutely no sense whatsoever.
native file versioning
Seems Linux is now held to a higher standard. Again, what a dope. Outside of the VMS crowd, I've not seen a huge outpouring of demand for this feature. Having said that, I do believe a versioning FS is in the works and for all I know, some may already be available. Realistically, few people want this and most have no clue what it even means. For the general use case, RC-software already exists to fill this niche. His complaint is empty.
audio APIs
As far as I'm concerned, it's done. Pulseaudio and ALSA are all that you need. If you have more specialized needs, then JACK Audio takes care of you. For the majority of people, Pulseaudio has what you need and is also portable to Windows. Many (most?) distros are already moving or have completed their move to Pulseaudio. As far as I'm concerned, this issue is addressed, save only for migration time for slow adopters.
integration of X11 with apps
This means nothing. What a dope. All GUI applications which communicate with X are integrated.
and integrate better on the back-end with the kernel
Again, what a dope. This means nothing.
In a nutshell, his complaints are silly, meaningless, or have been addressed. As far as I can tell, his only complaint which has any merit is audio API standardization and that has been achieved.
You can drink your own pee, quite safely. It is sterile, after all.
I've seen so many people say this but most do not understand what it really means.
Urine is sterile before it leaves the bladder; and then that's only usually - not always. That's it. If you have bacterial contamination in your urethra, your urine is now contaminated too. If you have a bladder infection, your bladder is also infected - even in the bladder. Mild infections which naturally pass in a couple of days are not uncommon. This is especially true if you are sexually active. Especially so if you are a sexually active female.
Also, if you are dehydrated, urine is not safe to drink. This is because the contaminates extracted from your body are no longer dilute enough and you are now poisoning your self with a concentrated form of whatever your body previously removed from your body - which may now overload your kidneys. Given some 40%+ of the US general population is at least mildly dehydrated, consuming one's own urine is risky. Furthermore, urine which is not clear, should *never* be consumed.
One should never drink urine unless your life hangs in the balance, as otherwise compromising your health and kidneys may be the price you pay. If no water is available, drinking urine is acceptable but only so long as it remains clear.
The prop tips on these airplanes reach transonic speeds at full power
Prop designs are tailored for a specific aircraft design and engine combination. Part of the requirement for prop selection is to avoid supersonic or even transonic speeds, even while at full throttle. The reason being, efficiency significantly falls off once a prop begins to reach transonic speeds, let alone supersonic speeds. It is so important to avoid these speeds, well, you now know the origin of the scimitar shaped prop.
In short, if you are flying any Cessna 185, 206 or 207 which has a prop reaching transonic speeds, your prop needs to be replaced as it has been overhauled too many times.
This is a great way to create liability for your company. Age discrimination is against federal law and simply mentioning it is cause to be sued. Simply put, don't!
My next application after you has a penis. What do you and your vagina know that he and his penis doesn't? Obviously that sounds bizarre but hopefully it make my point. Asking questions which imply age is part of the equation is simply asking each applicant to sue as they leave the interview room.
What they are doing is known as "regenerative braking" in the automotive industry. It's hardly new. It's established technology. Likely this is the first application to wind turbines.
Wind turbines typically have mechanical transmissions and/or braking systems to maintain their peak efficiency. The problem is, mechanical transmissions have friction and equate to lower efficiencies due to frictional losses. Furthermore, this means it's likely the gearing of a mechanical mechanism is less likely to actually achieve ideal efficiency for a given generator. If you've ever driven a stick, then you likely understand.
Moving to an electronic system means you instantly get a boost by doing away with frictional losses. Next, you gain another boost from actually running your generator at peak efficiency all the time, and in much lower and/or higher winds than previously capable.
Frankly, I'm not only surprised this hasn't been applied sooner, I'll be very surprised if this is vapour-ware.
Trends can be predicted but what happens if there's a change.
Bottom line is, it's a tool. It's being used as a tool. Right now, it is being used as a research tool. If in the future this tool can better help the CDC or even the local pharmacies better stock their drugs, it's a success. If doctor offices can better plan their vacations, it's a success. I think it's safe to say it's very unlikely life and death decisions, in of themselves, will not be planned solely on tools like this.
Google has moved from being a company to an entity people have "faith" in. ie it's become religion. Want proof? Say something critical of Google and watch the modding rollercoaster.
I've not really observed that. What I have seen is people very irrationally bashing Google because of Microsoft's poor history, somehow believing one has something to do with the other. Irrationally bashing Google is one thing, being reasonably critical is another. Needless to say, I have seen reasoned critique of Google here without backlash.
Slashdot Mirror
You're right on that. It has two 64-bit addresses together.
are almost identical.
With one little distinction - things work correctly by default with simple routing and without magicaly requirements in the applications - and usually with less work and less load, and less memory requirements on the firewall.
Said another way - firewall good - NAT bad.
