    I never said NASA was. Reading comprehension opportunity exists for you.

  4. if the entertainment cartel thugs didn't crush some artists even as they chose who to pimp, if they didn't use government goons to kick in doors for their agenda of terrorism, if they didn't act as monopoly....why you might have a point.

    what a load of shit, I can think of a capitalist superpower that didn't give a flying *** where its space station with NINE TIMES the mass of this one crash landed

    No he is not doing anything regarding global warming, too few of those expensive well-to-do people's cars exist to make a gnat's fart of difference in global co2 levels. Your religious awe of the man is laughable.

    Wrong, the TV system had to have networking ability to allow government user ability to selectively view any home.

    By the way I actually designed and built video switching systems in the 1970s. You don't have mind of an engineer, you don't realize the implied infrastructure of such a system

    Yeah what's this going back to "fat clients" with the apps? "Download our pre-order app!" says your favorite restaurant. That should just be a bookmark in browser to correct place on their web site.

    er, if you only lived through smart phone era you're young. Older people will have had a flip phone. Older people are less likely to use their phone as entertainment/consumer targeting system and more likely to download app for useful practical purpose. I loaded two extra apps onto my phone: weather and bar/QC code scanner. Thus my phone can do everything I need it to do besides the built-in telephony, alarm clock, texting, email, browser

    you speak of an imaginary future

    I spoke of the reality of right now, where most of the world's websites are on shared address, and people in a country with censored DNS will need more than numerical address to get to a site, they'll have to have some mechanism to deal with host: field

  17. Re:Nobody learns any lessons on GCHQ Planning UK-Wide DNS Firewall (thestack.com) · · Score: 1

    "IP literals?" Nope, most web sites use an IP address shared with others, you also need the browser to put desired symbolic host name in hosts: field of request which the web server (or proxy) will then make to the appropriate vhost. That makes the problem more difficult to solve

    maybe ISP won't allow udp & tcp 53 to any endpoint but their nameservers, they'll be required to only allow theirs to be accessible. sure, geeks can work around that but a regular joe?

    There was an internet in *1984*. Pay attention.

    There also were those who controlled what was remembered, and those who architected language with the end goal of non-state approved concepts being impossible to express or even conceived.

    Nope.

    You also need the desired host name as part of your browser's web request, because most websites share an IP address with other web sites. Than means your going to have to either have a giant-ass hosts file or your own name server that magically gets updated with hundreds of millions of DNS records.
