The problem is not that duplicates will occur, it's that the year number will repeat starting in 2011. The 7th character (from the right) denotes the year, and anybody can see, this means that it loops over every 36 years. Not particularly good planning, methinks.
And how is this a problem? Will people confuse cars from 1981 with cars from 2010?
That is alright though, that is quite alright! See how the Germans, French, British have progressed since they abandoned their nationalistic bubble of delusion about Grandieur and Fanifested Destinies and such...
See the War of 1812 where Canada kicked American butts! YEY!
Seriously though, I have to agree 100% with you. A notion that wants to dominate others will bancrupt itself, sooner or later. That was the reason why Rome collapsed - it could not afford its Army. And then there is the incompetend leadership with the lead in the water (lead pipes) and all.
The only way to keep an "empire" intact, is to make all of its participants equal. Anything else will tear it appart.
Of course they occur in nature. After all, the particle accelerator is part of the universe, right?
Think about high energy collisions around black holes or even in our upper atmosphere (high energy cosmic rays). Collisions at Fermilabs or CERN compare to some of these as campfire does to antimatter-matter explossion.
Also, will the telecos even have the bandwidth from the node, onward to really sustain that kind of bandwidth? I mean, we're looking at OC-3 speeds, right? I can imagine their pip getting saturated.
With what? There is only so much you can download and only so much you can upload. Unless someone is going to put slashdot or even better, fileplanet on one of these, then the phone company will not get saturated.
Furthermore, the ISP can monitor bandwidth usage. They don't have to shut anyone down, just follow a nice formula. Full speed up to X bandwidth used in a month. 10% speed for next X bandwidth used in a month. 10% of that speed for X more bandwidth used in a month... etc. etc.. Speed gets reset for next billing cycle. If they stagger billing cycles (not all on the same day), then their pipes will be free:)
This might be a "radical" solution, but why not just use private IPs for users and have comcast use NATs for all of its users. one/16 should be enough that for. It would stop virtually *all* spam from comcast. The "no server" rule would be automatically enforced.
Now, if people run servers, then let them sign up for a Static IP option. They pay $2 or $5/mo for an extra static IP, direct access to the internet. Then if there is spam from their IPs, their static IP gets disconnected and they would have to pay $50 or whatever to get it reinstated. If more spam comes from their IP afterwards, turned off their static again, and repeat.
*Everyone* would always get the NATed IP so no one would loose their internet even if they become a spam relay. They just loose access to their static IP.
This way comcast would not need that many nets, people that want static IP could get one, and spam and non-email viruses would be history. Hell, if they have a email virus scanner on their SMTP servers, almost all viruses are history.
What's hypocritical about prefering the rights of actual people over the "rights" of corporations?
P2P networks don't infringe on anything (eg. bittorrent), but allow users to infringe on copyright laws. Cameras inherently infringe privacy no matter who or what controls them. I don't think you can compare the two.
I don't know about that...I think it probably does help. We may not know that it deters because what terrorist is going to call in and say, "I was going to blow up a building but those damned cameras have changed my mind."
What?? I would think that terrorists would want to be on camera to show how "brave" they are blowing themselves up! If it wansn't for the mass media, public panic, and paranoid gov't officials (probably with ulterior motives than safety of the public), terrorists would be completely useless, just like in the years prior to mass media and instant news. In last 25 years, less people died because of terrorism than in 25 years prior to that!
If terrorists don't get publicity, people are not freaked out ("terrorized") and so terrorism is useless. If mass media was just a little more resposible and thoughtful, they would not be freaking out the nation with what the "great terrorists" are going to do. I would think than the gov't would at least be more toughtful in this regard, but no. They bring in the color coded system and leave it on High... good job! It seems that the US response to terrorism is actually something that precipitates public fear!
So, add public cameras. After all, no terrorist will want to be cought blowing stuff themselves up on camera. I mean, that would freak out a lot of people and terrorists don't want to do that, right?
PS. I don't think that people know what war really is when they say "war on terror". Ask a WWII veteran about war on terror and they might laugh at you. WWII has something like 500,000 American soldiers dead, 6,000,000 jews slaughtered, 25,000,000 Russians died... 50,000,000 people total lost their lives. The "war on terror" is just like "the war on drugs" and probably will be as much effective.
Please remember the Cuban missle crisis. The moronic military wanted a preemptive strike on Cuba. If JFK didn't say no at that point, we would not be here.
In comparison, Vietnam being deadly and stupid that it was, pales in comparison.
Iraq is another matter. Bush and the neo-conservatives (ie. the new neo-nazis) want a world as it existed in the middle ages; stupid little kingdoms running around with their little militias doing whatever the hell they want. No UN, but politics by conquest. With Vietnam, a withdraw of US was not critical. In Iraq a failure will likely result in entire Middle East becoming radicalized. The stakes are much higher and the plan is a lot worse.
Furthermore, It doesn't matter if people hated Saddam Husein or not. Saddam might have been the only thing holding that country together. Now it is the US occupation. Please remember that the tension between different groups will come from the radical groups. They will play one side against another until the gov't will be replaced by their rule. Therefore by removing Saddam Husein, Iraq can actually be in a worse position.
BTW, Debian was hacked due to a local exploit and a sniffed password. MS was probably cracked remotely, unless you can actually log into their web servers remotely:)
So there. MS is insecure, Debian is insecure, OpenBSD is insecure (see CVS holes), OSX is insecure, etc...... Yeap, most software is crap. That's why Linux has things like grsecurity.net, second line of defence. I don't know such things even exist for MS OS.
I better tell the users of my 800-person list and my 500-person list that it's been a great 8-year run, but we shouldn't be using a home mail server for this.
Just set up the mail server to forward all traffic though your ISP's mail server. Not a big deal.
Yeap. This is the only way to stem the traffic. People can still run their own mail servers, but all outbound connections should go though the ISP. Afterall, it is not like it is a privacy issue (they can sniff the packets anyway, so bypassing their SMTP server does not help you!)
What do you think happens to the Neutron bombarded materials? (Hint: They can become radioactive.) Fusion produces a tremendously strong neutron flux.
Isn't this the entire point? Neutrons get absorbed by Li blanket and heat it up. You also get tritium this way which you put back into the reactor.
So, you need the neutron flux. It is only between the neutron source (plasma) and the lithium blanket.
Furthermore, Chernobyl was not caused by a boiler or whatever. It was caused by a design flaw in the graphite control rods - Chernobyl was used to make plutonium. Well, same thing for most of the reactors in US. Frankly speaking, the only fission reactor that has only peaceful applications is the CANDU reactor design (Canada). All other reactors (US, USSR, France, etc..) are used to create plutonium for more nukes. Now that is "peaceful", eh?
Count the number of CANDU reactors as compared to graphite or light water design and you'll see why most coutries don't give a crap about fusion - fusion CANNOT be used to make nukes! Just like a CANDU reactor can't (and the design it has been around since the 50s)
We dont ned a techer to marc mi worc anyway. The komputer said I writee good!
Seriously, how can a program replace a human when the program cannot comprehend structure like language? Computers cannot and should not replace English teachers or math teachers (well, beyond grade shool at least!). How can a computer program mark an English paper? How can a computer program check that a mathematical proof is correct? How can a computer program say that a particular train of thought is interesting, or pointless.
But above all, does the equal result of a computer software mean that the software is so good or does it mean that the markers grade papers like computers?!? (ie. without any insign)
You can do that now, but is it quite expensive to install so most don't bother. With this new and rather cheap solar cells, in the near future we could have most new roofs to be composed of these solar cells.
Heck, if they can mass produce these and get the price to something like a few hundred $ per square, then they pay for themselves in a few months. How? Well, if you get 300-700 watts per sq. meter from these, do the math!
Ahhh, the "Power Internet" could be here relatively soon if these things get mass produced and subsidized by gov't and/or power companies (ie. "we install this free on your roof and reduce your $/kW by 50%")
Why not? They can patent my genes, so why the hell do I can about some theorem:)
Anyway, I said math patents, not physics patents. There is a *huge* difference. Math is just theoretical (ie. not real) - just like software, it is a figment of our imagination (ie. an intellectal tool)
Because to file a patent, it costs in excess of $5000. This is *per* patent. Secondly, to actually enforce the patent, you can spend 10-100x that amount minimum.
Now, companies like Microsoft, can submit 10 patents a day. Just see slashdot a day or two ago. They can afford to spend $50,000 per day, no problem!
Slashdot Mirror
Let's assume each *person* is a business then. Then you have 48 bits remaining. That's enough for 281474976710656. That's 281 trillion businesses!!
IPv9 is about control, not the IP address space.
Maybe someone should post *what* patents they are infringing? Are these the "my disk is round" type of patents or something else?
And how is this a problem? Will people confuse cars from 1981 with cars from 2010?
Except the american tons which are 2000 pounds or 907.185kg != 1000kg. This might just cause problems for international trade if not careful!
Lol. British.. That's a good one! It is spelled meter over here, so guess which country (not US, btw).
Maybe it's the time for the US to join the metric world. At least we wouldn't loose that Mars probe!
See the War of 1812 where Canada kicked American butts! YEY!

Everyone will get hacked, be it MS or Debian.

They meant destination port - from X port on comcast to port 25 elsewhere..

Yes, it is called Linux with 10 scripts running (eg. bash starts sox to output to device $i file blah.ogg)
I knew my tin foil hat would come in handy!
