I don't know if this is a case of incompetence. I was a Telewest user at one point, and accidentally left an open proxy port open; they shut my connection down about an hour later after an automated port scan, so I called them up, dealt with the problem and they reconnected it after a verification scan. Very swish, and I wish more ISPs took this approach.
The whole idea is that every device can have it's own IP. In any case, IPv6 provides enough IPs so that there are over 6.5x10^23 for every square meter of the earth's surface. We won't be running out any time soon.
Why is this so difficult for you to understand?
It takes X amount of energy to extract hydrogen from water. Fusion of this hydrogen produces Y energy, where Y>>X. There is a net energy gain, with a decrease in mass.
I say bring on the antimatter... Total world energy consumption is around 4e20 joules/year, which is 4 tons of fuel:)
Agreed. This money could be far better spent on *useful* NASA activites. Researching future propulsion systems, scramjets, space elevators... There is no need for a feel-good mission.
On a related note, why do we live in a world where the stupid and greedy control everything, and nobody else gets a say?
But public domain works cannot be stolen! By throwing something out into the public domain, the author automatically gives rights for any entity to use it in any way they wish. That is the defeinition of a public-domain work.
If you don't want your works to be used in a copyrighted product, then you really shouldn't be releasing it into the public domain; use a license (such as the GPL) which restricts re-use of the work. I would be mighty annoyed if it were no longer possible for me to release copyright free - ie. public domain - work.
I haven't seen a single case were PD works have been copyrighted and other legitimate users have been falsely accused of theft. If you have examples, please point them out.

The new unstable gets a new name.
No, it doesn't. sid = Still In Development, this is always the unstable branch. A new testing branch (etch?) will be created.
Fuck You.
