Maybe they could use IPv6 internally? But if someone allocates 10.1.1.0 and 10.1.2.0 on the internet I am not going to be happy. They are my wired and wireless LANs, at my place.
The whole point is to kill part of the body but a lot of the time this involves almost killing the rest of the body. My wife's father died because he had a rare sensitivity to a chemotherapy drug. They kept going back to the hospital and saying "it feels like this is killing him" and the hospital people would say "yes, that's normal, everybody thinks that". And by the time they realised it really was killing him he had no bone marrow left at all, which is fatal. In that case the problem could have been identified if more people were on the ball, but in practice they are just doing their jobs, going through the motions.
Its a bit different in technology. Normally when you (say) shut down a server you can check which server you are shutting down first and triple check it. Sure, if data has been left in a machine and you didn't check then thats a problem. But more commonly in medicine its a case of "lets try this, it might work" with no opportunity to check along the way.
I liked the one scene in Avatar where a scientist slides a finger across a 3D display to a mobile device to transfer over the viewable data. Now that's mobile computing. I can see that technology being developed. If any company can develop that technology, it'll probably be Apple.
Heavily influenced by Minority Report. I liked those interfaces too. I did wonder why they needed human air traffic controllers in 2154 and why the switchgear inside their aircraft was almost exactly the same as ours. I expect that movie to be hilarious 2154. Very old fashioned.
I think it is an example of how our desktop environments are failing us though. My eeepc and my hp laptop both run ubuntu 8.10 with gnome. When both are connected to my wifi I should be able to slide my mouse off the left side of the HP screen onto the eeepc, and drag files as I go.
To jettison the forward sensor pod the Captain flicks an unmarked switch that looks and feels exactly like the others built into the arm of his chair.
The odds that he'll fire the damn thing off by accident sometime in his career are probably no worse than 1 in 4.
Maybe thats just a soft key enabling some other action, ie, a different console commands the forward sensor pod to eject but the captain has to confirm the action with a generic yes/no action from his position.
Just spend a few days kayaking over here and pick it up with no shipping costs. Then you would only have to pay for the food & water for your trip.
You want to sea kayak the North Atlantic? I don't think even Ed Gillet would try that. Unless you tried to hug the coast and ice around the north. Should be pretty safe that way.
Of course this is the standard way for us to get to the USA now.
How about a network connected scanner? Its a bit inefficient if the only option from there is PDF, but if you could OCR it and partly automate the process it might work for notes to carry around.
Yes, he knows the firewall and the traffic. The question is - why is there suddenly traffic suddenly appearing from every country in the world at the same time? and again a number of hours later? And again 5 or 6 times?
I get a lot of distributed dictionary attacks like that. Its pretty normal.
Average NH temperatures fell 0.6-0.8dC 1998-2007, and will fall more sharply in 2008-2009.
What does NH mean?
You do know BBC is looking to ditch UK-MET since their forcasts are so bad, they use computer models and their competitors look out the window from visable and IR sats.
So what? Modelling is not important here. Measurement is. People have been measuring temperature every day, and in many places since before 1900, with increasing levels of precision and accuracy. The plot is based on temperature measurements.
A global temperature index, as described by Hansen et al. (1996), is obtained by combining the meteorological station measurements with sea surface temperatures based in early years on ship measurements and in recent decades on satellite measurements.
But since anybody can run the same client the outcome is the same, and you don't have to deal with issues of trust, and spamming in the "certificate pulling channel".
All my mail is signed with my certificate. My mail client can filter based on certificate. Anybody (you or me) can run a certification authority.
So if you trust NASA there has been a steady increase in global temperature from 1900 accelerating in 1920 and about 1965. Must be my fault. I was born in 1965.

Shouldn't this all be handled in the network stack?
Didn't somebody say here that China has maybe six layers of NAT in some places?
Hi Charles. I should have put a smiley on that post ;)
I will be happy to wear the consequences of owning 13.0.0.0 and following recent events I suggest China be allocated 4.0.0.0

Why are some IP addresses more desirable than others? They are just numbers after all.

Seriously, why not?

You mean like in The Matrix?

The Matrix is a rare good example. I loved the Key Maker metaphor in the second matrix movie as well as the occasional low level hack they showed.
No I am a little bit closer to the equator.

This seems to be monochrome, while whiteboard markers come in different colors.
So I suppose there is no chance of running Etch on it?
Wasn't there a pen you could get which scans as you write? Maybe you could use it with this device?

Just use the 50 year global average. Picking smaller areas or time frames doesn't prove anything against a long, global trend.
This is about the air we breathe and the water we drink. We should be erring on the side of caution, even if we don't know all the facts.

now the thermometers have been showing a distinct north american cooling.
So?
so nobody talks about the thermometers anymore.
Yes they do.
This graph uses the following data:

Note that tree rings are not mentioned.

You first...
I went off looking for charts of global temperature and I found this but along the way I discovered a meteorologist called Randy Mann.
So if you trust NASA there has been a steady increase in global temperature from 1900 accelerating in 1920 and about 1965. Must be my fault. I was born in 1965.
we have plenty of proof of temperatures changing long before the industrial revolution
Shouldn't we be doing something about that? What if it gets too hot for us?
