...no one forces them to support IPv6 in old hardware.
Sure, it sucks if you bought a home router just recently, but you spending extra money has a _lot_ of PHBs drooling in anticipation.
You could run OpenWRT/DD-WRT on your current Linksys to fix this.
Or get an Alix board or RouterBoard if you want to tinker.
But, to be honest, this is your own fault. Don't buy stuff that is obviously not able to fulfill near-term needs. About a year ago, I went for the Fritz!Box 7390 as I knew IPv6 was in the works for that one. Yes, it took some time to research and verify, but hey. Vote with your wallet.
As an aside, TP-Link has very good support for open firmware, as well. They even allow you to flash over their admittedly crappy stock stuff with OpenWRT from their own web UI.
Actually, as this is a router and not a plain switch, they might do the forwarding in hardware, not in software.
This is a somewhat common problem with actual (old) backbone routers, be they by Cisco or anyone else. Though I suspect home routers will do everything in software, anyway.
Those damn fear tactics like "No one has the slightest clue how to safely store of what current atomic reactors produce" and "as producers, we are responsible to find solutions that will work for as long as this stuff is active". Damn them!
And yes, I am looking forward to thorium, as well. Have been for years.
> Also one of the more annoying things mentioned on that page are their intention to maintain IP over it. Sigh...
So, after the West hammering them over IP, once they start enforcing it everyone is shocked that they are not using it in the way that the West profits.
Even worse... When someone replies to you and you click that great little email informing you of this fact, you can end up with everything collapsed, i.e. your comment _and_ the reply, unless your own comment gathered enough points.
But then,/. never reacted to any of my emails concerning design so this will probably stay as it is:)
I.e. would this become water? I fear producing enough to actually test this theory might be difficult and expensive, but maybe someone knows the theoretical side (not just guessing, I can do that, myself).
We might not be a majority any more, but some of us like, or have, to use KDE 3.5.10.
As usual, it's obvious that no one thought of checking Konqueror 3.5.10 and it's even more broken that previous interations.
But what _really_ gets me is the fact that the "plain" layout is getting more and more fancy, as well. There is a reason why some of us like a text interface so don't CSS & HTML it to death. It's text.

I don't use facebook, but where did FB get those pics? And wouldn't that mean that a determined attacker could successfully bypass this in most/all cases?
Just pretend 2 & 3 never happened and tell the story again. Only this time, try to find a way that people who, at one point, could speak along with all roles in Matrix 1 by heart, can watch them more than approximately 1.5 times each.

git-annex basically takes your files, moves them into the.git structure and replaces your files with soft-links. You can define remotes, push/pull to/from there, etc.
The beauty is that you are not actually checking any files into git. So you are free to have whatever subset of your files you want on any given machine.
Add to that that you can simply tell git-annex that any file matching a given glob (think *.jpg) needs to be in existence at least n times within your git-annex cloud and you can't delete stuff by chance, no matter what you do.
Two caveats, though:
1) It does not really handle files that change very well. But with images, that should not be a problem
2) The original ctime is not applied to the soft-links, nor does git-annex seem to store that kind of data. Which sucks when you want to extract files permanently.

As the one who submitted the story, I am happy that the tag intellectualpooperty made it onto the front-page. Similar to Digital Restriction Management, it's an easy, somewhat tongue-in-cheek way to adapt and subvert the terminology of the other side.
And if only one single person realizes that the term _property_ is being abused due to me using _pooperty_, then yay.
1) From what I read, and I read a lot on that topic, Stuxnet is pretty damn awesome. The exploits alone are estimated to have been worth a seven to eight figure... 2) Secrecy might not have been a priority. 3) Maybe they wanted to be detected to drive a point home. 4) Mindgame question: What if Russia, China or someone else did it and wanted to frame the USA & Israel?
It does not matter that a camera can only have one aperture and one ISO setting. Our eyes have only one iris, as well. What matters is that our retinas & brain have a dynamic range that trumps CMOS/CCD sensors. Oh, and the fact that our eye cheats by seeing more colour in the middle of the retina and more bright/dark & movement in the corner of our eyes.
That being said, I am looking forward to anything that extends the dynamic range in both cameras _and_ displays.
Greece fell once, people where complaining all the time. The fifty year thing sure sounds good, but it's total bollocks.
The one thing I learned from reading stuff from all ages is that the past was _always_ better, youth is _always_ going downwards and apocalypse is _always_ just around the corner.
> You are blinded by your ideology. The entire world is built on open standards created by consortiums of companies.
And the standards which were created by governments, universities and groups of non-affiliated persons. Or by a single company. I do agree that open standards are what make the world run (relatively) smoothly.
But:
1) H.264 is not an open standard. Nothing which is patent-encumbered can be. And the MPEG LA is not an open organization. 2) VP8 is an open standard. Not designed in the open and not controlled by an open organization (yet?), but an open standard nonetheless.
> You mean you will not change your ideology... that much is obvious.
Matter of fact, I do. You're not doing much in ways of challenging, though.

Yes, it is.
MoS_2 is pure awesome in any lubricant. Once you realize that this stuff has been known for about a hundred years, the mind boggles a little bit.
The remakes of Doom and Quake have always been used to show off the newest engine and subsequently licence that to third parties.
And who is the mastermind behind these new engines?
That's why he still matters. A lot.
Oh, and also the fact that he tends to release the old stuff as FLOSS once he does not need it any more. Anyone else doing that?
Am I too old for knowing immediately what the root cause for this was?
Shouldn't this even be considered basic knowledge for any advanced UNIX user?
That was refreshing. Now get off my lawn.

Reminds me of a line I see floating around the Internet again and again:
"I compressed my important files with the md5sum program. I deleted a few of my files by accident. How can I uncompress my backup?"
1) This is old news.
2) ifixit.com and others sell pentalobe screwdrivers.
3) You _know_ Apple is doing it's very best to lock you in and screw you over. Either accept that or buy somewhere else.

Use that to create buzz and get people more excited about the whole thing.
Yet another example of someone not getting the Internet. Nothing to see here, move along.

Anyway, we will not agree. Let's stop.
