If it's truly useful only for automated processes and not userspace apps, it shouldn't look just like a general purpose address.
What's the problem with having user space automated processes? E.g. zeroconf printing works fine over link local addresses. And how do you want it to look? Include a few non-hex characters perhaps, like this: ping6 fe80::215:60ff:febb:9656%eth0. Maybe you should try that.
No, you need to specify which interface you're talking about when using link local addresses. Sit back and think for a moment. How is the kernel supposed to guess which interface a link local address is on? Do you want it to just spit the packets out all interfaces?
Why would my belief that autoconfiguraation belongs in userspace indicate a lack of understanding?
The fact that you think that a link local address is valid without an interface name indicates a lack of understanding.
If the second person happens to have the same density as the atmosphere and the first person has a higher density, the first person will measure as heaviest -- even if the first person has a mass of 1kg and the second a mass of 1000kg.
But in the case of faulty hinges, the manufacturer could probably say that it may have been caused by you handling the laptop badly. Unless others have the same problem, you would probably have to spend some time getting it approved.
The failure is within 6 months, so the burden of proof is on the shop.
But again, as pointed out above, this is NOT about a failure to honor the warranty - the situation ISNT COVERED by warranty. So, Netherland's warranty laws are irrelevant - it's not a warranty issue at all
The manufacturer doesn't get to dictate the scope of the warranty. Since this failure is within 6 months, the shop has to prove that the customer caused the problem by misuse. They're unlikely to be able to prove that. Therefore they have to repair the laptop. They can offer the customer the money back instead, but the customer doesn't have to accept that offer.
Heh, luckily all those things are non-problems because of EU law. The only entity any consumer needs to deal with is whoever he bought it off, and they don't get to dictate the terms of the warranty. If the shop you bought it from can't get the manufacturer to pay for the repairs, tough luck for the shop.
Renewables are not going to provide enough energy, ever. Yes, they should be used -- but there is no way we will ever be able to extract the exawatt we need for modern society from renewable sources.
So, modern society is destined to only last a few hundred years, maybe a thousand?
Sun went demanding license fees for its patent portfolio from NetApp. NetApp has responded with a lawsuit asking for the court to say that it isn't violating Sun's patents, and counterattacking by claiming Sun is violating NetApp patents.
The only source of that is NetApp so far. It's very hard for third parties like us to find out what really happened. The only fact we really have is that NetApp brought out the big guns. Possibly for good reasons, possibly not, but either way it's certainly an escalation. I'll just stay away from buying from Sun and NetApp for a while -- very easy, since it has been 10 years since I had anything to do with buying from either.
The dynamics of energy consumption are such that you need to have a certain amount of extra capacity to account for periods of peak demand and lack of transmission capacity that would move power from areas with a generation surplus to those that are temporarily deficient.
If the deficiency is temporary, you just start draining the batteries instead of charging them. It's good money for the car owner: buy when power is cheap, sell when it's expensive.
One caveat is that the electric transmission capabilities are not up to the task of something like this.
The neat thing is that you can charge off-peak. Upgrades will have to be made, but they will be easy to handle. We aren't going to wake up one morning and discover someone converted 70% of all our vehicles to electric during the night after all.
Supporters of open standards wish for Microsoft to adhere to a true standard, one that is well-documented, easily implemented, and available for all. Currently, ODF does all that.
The fact that OOXML is a hundred times worse does not make ODF a good standard. Then again, the world would have been better off if the word processor had never been invented.
That's roughly 15 kwh per day, or 5475 kwh annually - or, in round figures, about $600 worth of electricity at retail price - and, at the typical surcharges for green power, around $800. The cost of borrowing the money, just for the kit, is around about $1600 a year.
In other words, it's only 3 times as expensive as conventional power. Or 1.5 times what electricity costs retail after taxes around here. Sounds like a good deal to me.
Since when does a text editor like emacs equate to a development tool kit? It's got one purpose - to edit text, which it does well. but it's nothing more.
You have no idea what emacs actually is. I have mostly given up on it for text editing, but I use for lots of other things.
If you link to a gpl library but don't distribute it then you are in violation of the gpl (this is the entire mysql business plan in fact) - gpl covers a lot more than just distribution.. it covers linking too.
If you don't do anything which is protected by copyright, then it doesn't matter what the GPL says. Whether linking is protected by copyright is a question of copyright law, so ask a copyright lawyer. Again, VMWare doesn't get away with invoking plain copyright law, because they have already accepted the GPL license.
Under that logic almost all FSF software would be the property of Sun, AT&T, HP, IBM, etc. since for a long time it required SunOS, Solaris, HP/UX, AIX to run on.
FSF did not distribute SunOS, Solaris, HP/UX etc. and therefore they were not bound by those licenses. The same applies to say NVIDIA, since they don't distribute GPL-covered software either. VMWare has no such luck -- they distribute both GPL-covered and proprietary software, and they even do it on the same CD. Now, the GPL could have outright forbidden this "mere aggregation", which would obviously have been completely enforceable. Instead, the GPL allows shipping both on the same media -- but only if both pieces work independently of each other. And the VMWare hypervisor seems to not work without the Linux kernel. Whoops.

As in assigned to an interface?

Link local addresses don't seem to work AT ALL. I see the route but I get EINVAL if I try to ping.
Link local addresses are only valid when coupled with an interface name. The reason why is rather obvious.
I suppose my next attempt will be to rip all the autoconfig stuff out of the kernel and implement a userspace daemon.
I would recommend that you get a good understanding of IPv6 before you implement it.
No, in the case of 32MB ram chips, the factories are not set up to produce it at all, because no one uses it.
Apart from, say, all the Linksys equipment. And modern cell phones...

No they aren't. It just looks that way because other nations have shorter ballots due to the proportional representation system.
Proportional representation doesn't magically make ballots shorter. Candidates are listed, and you can vote for them directly.
we don't use proportional representation and therefore get to vote for more than just a political party.
Elections which use proportional representation usually allow you to vote for more than just a political party.
A beam balance will easily tell you the mass of an object no matter what planet you're on.
Only if the reference object has the same density as the object to be measured.

Have you got any idea how much readily available Th232 and U238 there is in the Earth's crust?
Not much good in a PBR.
The only good way to do nuclear is to place an unshielded reactor at sufficient distance from the Earth, and simply catch its radiation.

A China Airlines jet blows up , and company officials paint the logo off of the wreckage.
Every airline does that.
Being convicted has no bearing on whether or not what you're doing is wrong.
True, but being a monopoly does. The rules are different for monopolies.

My current MBP has a 17" screen at 1920x1200, compare that with the top of the line ThinkPad with a 15.4" screen at 1600×1024
Z61p has a resolution of 1920x1200.
If you're using a TP, you're not on the right equipment for "serious" graphical work.
As if resolution is the only thing that a screen needs for "serious" graphical work.

You're going to put up thousands of miles of DC and at a high voltage? The power loss sounds high, but more importantly, what about the corrosion?
They're already in service. Some with the Earth as the return wire, some with two-way wires.
