So when that happens in several months, all routers in uncle Joe's and aunt May's homes will be magically replaced by the new product Cisco might start selling by then, right?
And how exactly this would save prevent relatives asking for help? I don't touch laptops with a ten foot pole normally, especially Windows ones.
And even for Windows, Microsoft slowly manages to make it semi-stable these days. Taking an order of magnitude bigger hardware to run 7 (let's not even mention Vista) than XP means they didn't suddenly become competent, but I admit it's not the crashfest Windows used to be. These days, it's dodgy OEMs and "anti" malware who's causing shit.
This WAS a fresh install + windows update to current. No graphics card drivers (a run of the mill recentish Nvidia), no wireless, no ethernet (which inexplicably worked even though Windows complained of no drivers), no "Sony Firmware Extension Parser" which Windows put out big fat warnings it needs drivers for, whatever it is.
For random hand-built desktops, Windows 7 actually works well in the drivers department, which made this Sony piece of shit really surprise me.
He didn't copy the code nor the graphics so he is clear of copyright, and the name is different enough to be clear of trademark. The Tetris company bastards are abusing the law, counting on people's inability to afford defending themselves.
They not only add the bloat, they do what they can to prevent the crap from being removed.
Just yesterday I helped a cousin reinstall Win7 on a near-new Sony Vaio after their utilities decided to "helpfully" blow away the whole system including all data (fortunately, nothing vital was lost). I admit I have very little experience with Windows these days, but hunting down the needed drivers from Sony's website shouldn't take four freaking hours for someone doing IT for 25 years. They assume their recovery partition is the be-all and end-all and can never be wrong -- or perhaps, they are afraid someone may want to get rid of their precious crapware.
Uhm no, free market exists and works excellently. There's just one case where it fails: when a single company or a cartel of colluding companies control a significant part of a single market.
The government should stay the hell out, doing only one important task: breaking up such monopolies. But thanks to corruption (legal in the US as "lobbying" and "revolving door"), the govt tends to actually promote and create them.
The shit did not hit the fan yet. No one really cares about IANA's pool running out -- but not being able to obtain them from RIPE will be a serious problem.
Care to mention which tests do fail? I'm on SixXS as well, and get better results.
With a plain bind9 installation with no relevant configuration changes, I get 10/10, 10/10; and with 8.8.8.8 -- 10/10, 9/10. The only test that fails when using Google is the ability to resolve domains handled by IPv6-only DNS servers.
Since when the words "health" and "food additives" belong in the same sentence?
I for one refuse to eat heavily processed food. If you prefer to eat meat-like products at McDonald, it's a matter of your tastes, but I insist on being allowed to opt out of that. For example, I never buy "mincemeat" that usually includes mechanically separated substances very distantly related to actual flesh, and always grind it myself.
So that superior morality of yours would rather have a sentient species suffer diseases just to avoid hurting something non-sentient? Then why do you hurt poor vegetables who can't defend themselves. Sorry to break it to you, but nature is a constant war, and so is life; you kill many beings with every breath you take. What about aiding a number of worm and bacteria species and letting them eat your corpse?
I'm not concerned about welfare of animals, I am concerned about taste and my health. Plus, I am concerned about my tax money going to scum who break into research labs and assault scientists, making it less likely we'll see cures to many diseases, aging and the like in my lifetime. If you have some weird semi-religious views, follow them yourself, but if I am to suffer because of you, I object.
Sadly, this might happen quite soon, before this technology matures. Just look at terrorists from PETA being tax-exempt and receiving tax money instead of being banned.
Uhm, what does that game have to do to the article in question? Try Carmageddon!
Except for initial levels, actually trying to race becomes tedious, hard and unprofitable so you end up winning every level by crashing all opponents. The best and most profitable way is head-on collisions.
Due to great realism it damages you just a bit, and you can instantly repair paying cash -- with each collision with another car bringing far more than you pay for damages (so you can afford colliding with the environment).
If Carmageddon isn't the best way to learn how to drive safely, I don't know what is.
Except that a good deal of devices refuse to route anything to such addresses, making them effectively useless. Having to reflash every router (including "consumer" ones) and fix every broken config would be harder than just migrating to IPv6. Strictly speaking, easier to amend but with breakages harder to spot.
Except for a godawful text display, it works just fine for me on Chromium 9. 10/10, 10/10. Default settings, no extensions other than their fake AdBlock since I don't use Chromium for anything but a rare test, so there must be something amiss in your configuration
If you got 7/10 on IPv4, all is ok. The explanation says it clearly that no problems are expected for you when AAAA records will start being published, as your system will gracefully ignore them.
Even with fully working IPv6 you may get less than the max if your DNS server isn't fully up to scratch, like Google's 8.8.8.8.
It is very abundant compared to what is needed for this task, as opposed to some other proposed replacements. It's not like you need tons of molybdenite.
Or at the very least, update to a semi-modern hash on the next login, when the unhashed version will be known. Since they, like most web pages, don't use a challenge-response scheme but transmit the password as-is (at least over SSL, unlike Facebook's default), this is a trivial thing to do.
Forcing a password change would bring some security, but they're too afraid to spook mrs May type users for that.
only problem is, running full tilt I can go through my monthly bandwidth cap in eleven and a half hours.
We badly need a "truth in advertising" law that would make it illegal to label a "100Mbps connection" with a 5GB monthly cap as anything above the 16331bps it really is (yes, less than 16kbps, this is not an error). Providing a bigger burst is ok but only if that's clearly marked as such.
Toss in something about the scam that lets ISPs call 100Mbps down/128kbps up by the bigger number. If you want to use just one number, you'd need to print the lower one. Anything else is deceiving the customer.
we will probably see the end of 4:3 displays(which are slowly fading out as those old CRTs are retired or just die
What's wrong with 4:3 LCDs? For any serious work rather than watching movies full screen has a significant edge over wide. I personally have watched two or so movies in the last five years (and wish I got that time back), and for anything else you do would want 4:3 or, even better, 3:4 orientation, although support for pivoted displays is generally damn flaky.
3. So you'd have to copy everything around instead of letting the MMU alias it for you? Not a good idea. 4. It's quite inconceivable to have this without any disk quotas. 6. Any OS other than DOS/Windows had that since basically forever. You can even create the file in a deleted state.

Uh oh. This means, all tests that actually haul something over IPv6 rather than dual stack. It appears that your tunnel doesn't work right.

I had some farmers and gardeners in the family. Have you seen the shit and fertilizer that goes into vegetables? Now compare that to clean meat...
