I just want to punch anyone that trys to tout things using the word "Cloud". What happens when there's a problem with their servers, or there's a problem with your broadband? Hell, what happens when they decide to pull the plug on the whole thing?
Nothing is guaranteed. What happens when the power goes out in your office? You can't work then either. But all these things could be arranged somehow if wanted. They need to be able to have their servers super reliable. You should be able to sue them if they pull the plug and run with your data. And so on.
IPV6 is great in theory, but it's solving a problem that does not exist. When the internet was started, the idea was that every workstation would be on the internet. Once security became a concern, all those workstations ended up behind firewalls. With firewalls, there is no reason to not NAT. Since only the firewalls need be internet facing, the number of IPs drops drastically. Multiple web servers and web sites can share a single IP. There are people that think that they still need an internet facing IP on every workstation, but the reasons are more personal than practical.
Sometimes it drives me nuts when I see just an edited message "*** never mind, got it working***" with no idea what the problem or the solution was. It could have been helpful to others...
Heh. I was also thinking that carrier-grade NAT would cut out a big chunk of piracy traffic. BitTorrent performs poorly if you can't accept incoming connections, and not at all if the other peer can't either. Serving a homebound FTP warez site would also be out of question.
I'm glad that my home computer, file server, roommate's computer, roommate's tablet, and my tablet now have unique public IPv6 addresses.
Why? Do you at least get consecutive addresses from the same netblock?
If I'm worried that I've somehow accidentallyed xinetd on to any of those computers, I'm more than capable of setting up a firewall. Except none of these computers have any services that have been accidentallyed on to them.
I would lose sleep over that. With a silly IPv4/NAT setup I can at least be sure that all connections are blocked by default (unless I specify some port forwardings).
I don't know. I'm not a networking pro after all. I don't exactly have anything against IPv6 adoption, but some of the arguments that recommend it seem to just want "academically correct" public IP address for every device.
The night time cravings for snacking on things like cookies was immense, but if he didn't eat I didn't eat and it worked very very well.
Did you have any problems sleeping? I sometimes have experienced that if I don't eat well enough before going to bed, those little cookie cravings come up and impact my sleep.
I'm pretty sure that if you had something really important (a major business deal for example), it will still reach the main man just fine using mark.zuckerberg@facebook.com.
Default reddit is terrible, but there are plenty of subreddits that have far higher quality than Slashdot. This place has been a fucking cesspool for years and nobody of note even posts logged in anymore.
Can you recommend some good "subreddits"? I keep finding the same junk that is on the front page.
The only browser that might be faster is Opera, but nobody really uses it.
I wonder if Opera is going to experience a slow death. The browser feels like the ages-old Opera engine with some new HTML features hacked in every now and then. It carries the weird old bag of settings, like detailed font configuration (but because of CSS they have almost no effect!) and the "redraw page after x seconds" (an awkward which does not even seem to have any effect). No multithreaded tabs, poor extensions. Sigh. Well, it is quite fast actually.

Thank you for saying this. :)

All the Linux users? ;)
How else can I have complete control over my site and get to tinker with my custom server software?
I believe these days you can lease a full virtual machine which allows you to do pretty much that.
To be fair, a lot of those can be just put in the cloud cheaply enough these days.
There's still muddy water coming out if you open some of the newer hard drives.
If you work on different projects with different tab stop styles then you're changing your editor settings all the time.
If the code is properly written, it does not matter in which tab settings you view it in.
That is too impractical solution.
"Phone That Silences the World for You"
I was going to say this. Although it would be better to write it "legos" (no capital letters) then.

Java used to be secure and sandboxed. What happened?
That struck the odd chord in me too. In my mind Java has also held the status of being a relatively secure system.
Also Jungle Disk and Wuala. The list goes on...

Hahaha. Facebook really is desperate.

You can just not use the touchpad. The real problem is the disappearance of matte screens. I hate glossy.
Seconded. Surely the gloss camp always says how glossy makes the colors come out better, but you can get good color with matte too, if you want.
So, they're giving me the option of getting a low bit-rate copy of something I've always had the ability to make for myself.
And I'm supposed to be grateful.
Well, they save your work of doing it yourself.
Why would I tamper them?
It's fun to put the actual disc in the player, sit back on a couch, and browse the inlay while listening to the music.
On the plus side, you can buy CDs as presents and get the MP3 to keep for yourself.......so Amazon might still have a slight problem to fix.
At least one of the copies is legitimate, and the entertainment industry gets money to make more entertainment.
