In Germany, it is legal to walk around naked. You might get into trouble at some point, but courts have upheld this right time and time again. Side note: the people who enjoy walking around naked tend to wear shoes for obvious reasons.
By that standard, most other places are denying basic rights to males and females by making them adhere to a particular dress code. Also, the "No shirt, no shoes, no service" thing is a clear case for the UN.

Bullshit. Gobs and gobs of it.
In Europe, showing a nipple on TV results in a nipple being shown on TV. In the USA, showing a nipple on TV results in a massive public outcry, months of news coverage and politicians and regulators falling over themselves trying to Protect The Public. Yet, both are mainly Christian.
I live and breathe computers and the fact that you want to _destroy_ the original sources tells me that you don't.
And even if you copy to new tapes every five years, just have civilsation collapse for a few dozen years and... Yay... Papyrus and paper records survived hundreds and thousands of years. Stone and clay records longer than that.
If he has had facts, fine. But if not... Well, personally I have assumed for years that the rings came from a broken moon or similar object. The main reason for that is that nothing else makes any sense.
Except that it has been shown time and time again that CCTV does nothing to _prevent_ crime and only a bit to _solve cases_. Hint: The police have perfected being good at working without CCTV over the last few hundred years. I can create more work, though.
If you want to _prevent_ crime you need street lights and more police on the streets. Oh, and a fast, efficient justice system that deals swift and just justice so there is no mental disconnect between "I broke $law" and "I get punished". Again, this has been shown again and again.
Google Wave is functioning _as of right now_. What about in two years?
The cancelled the "any URL to RSS" feature in Google Reader yesterday. I was told about this... yesterday. Yay for giving me time to set up a different system!
What makes you assume I don't do exactly that? Especially since I explicitly stated that I think the collect personal data and implied that I dislike the practice.
That would be why they have been displaying a "thanks for helping make Slashdot great, wanna disable ads?" notice for me, and a lot of others, for years.
The main cost is your freedom to install some nice stuff because Apple does not merely filter based on purely user-loving reasons. All too often, they just don't like something for monetary, strategic or political reasons.
Oh and the fact that you need to jump through hoops for tethering? What the fuck? I press one button and my Desire is a hot-spot.
In any case, I wish Android market was more restrictive in some ways and Apple would loosen up more.

There have been over a dozen installations and the 35 installations Mr. Geissler predicts for 2010 are realistic. I don't know where they are being installed, though. I only know them by their IPs;)
The VPN those machines run on is my brain-child. So I know a thing or two about the machines.
With all the cameras and other hidden security features in those machines, it's quite a secure setup. Fascinating what people come up with. Sorry if I don't want to share details;) By the way, those machines are, literally, bomb-proof.
The fact that this thing is taking off so incredibly is... incredible. Personally, I would not have expected that level of success.
Now if only I was sent around to world to install those machines instead of doing remote maintenance...:)
Segregation on layer 1 and 2 is of no concern when looking at layer 3. That is why they invented layers. Subnetting allows for aggregation and easier routing. It is, in theory, not needed for making connections.
> mobile vehicles with substantial LANs that want to talk to numerous fixed station networks, don't want to talk BGP, and don't want to do the proxy server thing
1) Why would you use BGP for internal routing? Or does every cell phone get its own AS and PI?
2) Why would the CPEs be allowed to affect routing? The cell towers and their backbone do that.
3) With proper subnetting (most people stay in one region most of the time), this is not an issue
4) If a Telco can scale to a few million routed telephone numbers, they can scale to a few million routed/64.
Roaming and/or switching between upstreams would be a concern in both NAT and non-NAT scenarios.
The acting in Episodes 4-6 was medicore but at least the material was new and exciting at the time. Plot was below the level of the acting.
Episodes 1-3 were worse.
So yah, I get it: You are a fan and you want, no you need, to love the franchise. But same as I refuse to read any "new" releases by Heinlein or Tolkien, it's time for you guys to cut your losses and keep the fond memories while you can. Cause George Lucas will find new ways to abuse the franchise you love(d). And then some.
In case you disagree: "Christmas special". I rest my case.

The German national library is entitled to three copies and they keep them. I don't see why they would _not_ keep them....
Salt mines sound perfect. Salt mines guarantee, by the very existence of the salt, that they are pretty stable over geological time-spans.

I read the headline, thought "free.fr" and lo behold, once again it's free.fr.
Be it transfer limits, FTP hosting, IPv6 pioneering or their user's basic rights: free.fr is the awesome one, the one you only hear good things about.
If I lived in France, I would subscribe to them and to them _only_.
And that is the only way it can be. It _must_ be that way.
Some services are public, to be paid for by everyone via taxes.
Great picture. Seriously. Was he tethered to anything or was he roaming completely free? Anyway... Whoah...

The one thing I learned from the news coverage about Second Life:
The plural of "dildo".
Paint stripes on it.

1) He is getting old, losing his edge and is grumpy that he failed to find the holy grail. If he failed, everyone else will, too.
2) It's nice to see that some people have the balls to admit they might have been wrong.
Pick whichever you prefer.

True. Overpriced phone, overpriced data, voice & messaging plans.

A user who refuses to install crap. Sometimes, it sucks not to install X, but hey. My device, my rules.

So yes, NAT destroys peer structures.
