I would believe people who aren't making money, have data, have their reputation staked on their capability for reasoning and analysis. People with principles, also, but they must show ability for cold reasoning, most especially admitting being wrong once in a while, as nobody is perfect.
You are right, capitalism in weapon production impose strong market regulation! Anyway, when you read on NYT, why are only Russian's weapons called "deadly"? Is the new missiles that can reach anywhere on Earth built in US a "great achievement"?
Standard public brainwashing, all sides always do this. The other side builds death and destruction, your side builds peace maintenance, courage and strength. And stops evil. Bla bla bla to make young soldiers want to kill and die. And, gotta make the public hate and fear the other side so they keep collaborating to war, otherwise they won't be into it.
Seriously, the arms race combined with galloping technology progress is just the same as a death wish for everyone. There is no chance in hell of controlling it. Increasing miniaturization, lowering costs, easier manufacturing, simpler distribution. Soon, smaller and smaller fiefs of power with more and more intrigues among them, in addition to nations. Corporations, traffickers, pirates, guerrillas, terrorists, private security companies, crazies, military and politicians, anyone hungry for muscle power. I forgot to mention increasing power and capabilities, escalating the complexity of logistics and possibilities for smaller, easier to plan, quicker and deadlier attacks. The advancement of knowledge and progress required communication, trade, and trust. A high tech arms race, such as is now starting, will kill it. China, Japan, Europe, South America, everyone is building up weapons. If we want to continue evolving, and living, we better start talking negotiations. Contrary to wacky political manipulating statements, stockpiling weapons won't work forever, because history evolves, nothing stays the way it is, the future is not predictable, especially today.
Actually... they don't need to. most people already want to get rid of the dog when it grows up a bit. It ends up being sacrificed in some way, somewhere, quite often. People like puppies, not dogs.
how much IP can you fit it 625GB?? . A LOT more than $50.... They can hire all the cops and snoops they want, these guys are getting nowhere. The agenda to kill off copyright law is, unfortunately for these guys, clearly set and fully adhered to by everyone -- ignore it. It's a perfect strategy, as it simply lets the law stand, but makes it irrelevant. It's a perfect mass movement joining millions and millions of dedicated people, with almost no coordination needed. The copyright war isn't over yet, but the battles ahead are mere formalities, it's hopeless.
http://slashdot.org/submission/1219710/Open-net-debate-on-Internet-laws-in-Brazil?art_pos=1
(links to original story) Brazil has opened public, free, internet debate on it's new internet law proposal. A hodgepodge of contradicting state laws, lawsuits, and rulings were blocking efforts to encourage more internet use, so a new federal law proposal is open to debate, including topics such as education, culture, freedom of expression, right-to-use, user and provider rights and responsibilities, anonymity, content removal and notices, crime and law enforcement, everything. Currently the site accepts comments on each paragraph of the law. Last October there was debate on the general principles to be included in the law. Brazilian Portuguese, but there is Google translate and volunteers translating to English.
Food is social networking, too. Plus, it's 3d fully interactive real-time 360 degree hyper-real resolution with full sensorial input. It's, like, real.
In Sweden it is illegal to publish any information about who the owner of a vehicle is, for example. Yet, it is perfectly legal to send a SMS to the traffic authorities to get the same info. Go figure.
The behavior of just about any one individual is not exactly based on reasoning, analysis, fairness and wisdom, either. Now try to apply those principles to a nation's constitution and a bunch of legal amendments, precedents, national state city county and village authorities judge and lawyers, citizens and con guys, and well you'll end with a morass called the law. Nobody has ever managed to have it make sense completely, nowhere. If you want logical behavior with the dignity any human deserves, you'll end up being a philosopher or revolutionary, angry at at the ignorant world and masses. With reason, but still, the world is as it is.
So if I get this right, the thing to do is get IPV6 into your boxes and routers, link the internet ipv6 router to a Hurricane Electric tunnel, done, go home?
I was thinking more along the lines of microsoft moving windows update to a ipv6 only block. Redirect ipv4 requests to a "your ISP is robbing you and not letting you access the whole internet" page. Bam, problem solved. Every major ISP would be forced to upgrade their networks or lose all of their customers.
That'll work too, either way, we're talking about using sticks and carrots to start some sort of activity towards IPV6.
Don't know if it's better or worse, or I like it or not, but in any case, it means more work for techies. Lots of databases, middleware, disk systems, etc to upgrade to comply with the new laws. In fact there's likely to be a whole category of security and law compliance consulting...
Let's say you go to the store for milk. They only have goat's milk. Did they just create demand for goat's milk, or are you just resorting to goat's milk until someone supplies what you demanded?
If a buyer takes the milk and pays, from seller point of view it was a sale. If it was free choice or under death threats is not in question. Free enterprise - the enterprise does as it wishes, freely.
Now, I am not sure of the relationship among the goat, the milk, the death threats, ipv6, and free porn, but it's all good somehow I'm sure. With enough research, it can be proven.
And then it really HAD to get done, and what do you know? Somebody did it after all.
Seriously, everything is pretty much in place to do the switch when it needs to happen. It's essentially just throwing the lever that is all that is left to do. It's not a big deal, we've been preparing for it for 12 years now.
Just chill out people, seriously.
Come on, no international trade wars, no wars, armies, espionage, cyber wars?? No car chases? What kind of story is that? Is at least the lever going to be pulled by two scantily dressed ladies making pouty lips with too much lipstick?
Slashdot Mirror
http://www.iraqbodycount.org/ - Documented civilian deaths from violence - 95,989 to 104,706. How many court martials would that be?

They merely keep making products that make you print more. Software, mostly. HP smart web print for example, to encourage you to print webpages.

a criminal infringement of the rights of society at large
Trouble is that "society at large" doesn't ever get really pissed off and express itself in any way in a large loud unison voice.

There's a product to fit any budget. I am doing something wrong here.
Let's have International Penguin Day, and simultaneously get thousands of smiling penguin stickers placed on light poles all over the world!

I wonder what the fine will be for losing a cellphone with 300 phone numbers of your friends and family in MA.
I am not wild about regs
Me neither, but you can't deny there are two big things that orient the behavior of companies and large groups of people. Profits, and laws.
Don't know if it's better or worse, or I like it or not, but in any case, it means more work for techies. Lots of databases, middleware, disk systems, etc to upgrade to comply with the new laws. In fact there's likely to be a whole category of security and law compliance consulting...
Both Fedora and Ubuntu have convenient package managers and an active community. Other differences are mainly a matter of taste.
Has there been no talk of combining repositories, package formats or anything like that?

There will suddenly be massive demand for IPV6.

What, in Europe they don't have abductions?? They don't need to transmit and negotiate return of the hostages when we get in touch?
It's called job security. Now hand me that comcast NATport-to-ip protocol mapping standards book, please?
