The internet will need IPv6 eventually but for the moment, Since the development of NAT (its not amazing but it does the job), Hundreds of thousands if not millions of IP addresses have been freed. Over time devices will be upgraded to support IPv6 addresses and then older devices replaced at the end of their upgrade cycle. Then isp's will start issueing IPv6 addresses to their clients as more IPv6 routes become available. So you cant just deploy it without people being ready as it will just create a mess of the internet with incompatible networks all over the place.
My prediction for total phase out of IPv4 is somwhere between 2020-2025.
When you dont find an open WAP theres only WPA and WEP encrypted...
Why would you want to use WEP when on most routers WPA v1 or v2 is available and is no harder to set up?!?
In that case, WEP really DOESN'T work for most people.
In response - I was able to contact my ISP and mentioned this problem. They then put me on a service that had no blocked or throttled ports but also made me agree to accept any civil proceedings brought against my IP address.
The entire concept is shit, the adverts are sub interesting and to be honest i'd rather drink a shot of vodka through my eye than sit through an hour and a half of (as described in the title) snakes on a plane.
It does, The point i was trying to make is that MySQL is a business. Business models dont work if your product is free, so there has to be an incentive to buy the commercial version so development can continue and the product remains enterprise quality. Without any sales the code would become stale as not as many people would work on it (people are paid to develop it).
GPL is not just about free software, More the freedom of software.
How so are they evil? Their giving you access to an enterprise quality database server with no catches apart from it is free for non-commercial use. And your bitching about then not giving you access to everything they create. Follow the open source trend. YOu have the source code, Read it and write what you need for yourself.
Ofcourse if you had paid for the enterprise version the instalation would probably be mission crirical and therefore you would have access to such tools.

Yes, in short. why pay for somthing when you can get it for free. I think MS are trying to be ironic after 10 years of people stealing their OS and apps.
# Excel 2007 now supports over 1 million rows and over 16,000 columns per worksheet.
WTF? If I've got anyone in IT putting 1,000,000 rows in a spreadsheet, I'm seriously considering demoting them. If you're going to have a million rows, get a database.
I see your angle but do you think it's practicle or even possible to do accounting in a raw database?
The fact that you know that it'll never love you. At the end of the day Inteligence is not intelegence if it is artificiall. Flick a real dog on the nose and after time it'll start to hate ou. Flick a robot on the nose for 100 ys and it'll think that you are playing with it every time.
Email/Internet browser applications are not the only problems, and also just because a product is the most widly used, doesnt make it insecure.
The fact is that a majority of hackers have some sort of mental vendeta against microsoft. This plus the fact that microsoft doesnt write as secure code as they could creates a dangerous comination.
For example take 2 web servers both running windows. One of the servers is running Apache - the general standard for web hosting (and losing ground i am reluctant to add). And another server running IIS - Microsofts very attractive attempt to creating GUI configured server. Both firewalled and using Out-of-the-box (fully patched) instalations.
From previous expierance of both servers and knowing that neither are inpenitrable (some better than others thou *cough*red*alert*) i would happily bet my left hand that the SMALLER TARGET aka IIS would be the first server to be penitrated.
What i am trying to say is that you are corret that people should vary the application vendors that they use but for the wrong reasons. Malicious code comes from sloppy coding in the firstplace and from evidence that we have seen from the massively publisized launch of firefox and the world renowned apache project is that the more eyes the better the code is in general.
And how can you hack a system when you are severely limited to your choice of exploit.
Whats the point in encrypting your email when your i the US? You can only encrypt it up to around 46bit mximum legally. That can be broken in under a week should they want to read your mums shopping list. Any more than that and you run the risk of being linked to terrorism or some other bizarre charge they'll slap on you.
Define Fake; i could go to a mate who works in a garage and get any number printed on a real license plate. Even if it was a duplicate of another official number the system only reads the plates not the make model and colour of the car.
Excuse me for being pedantic but the exit code i.e. disturbance of mouse / keyboard, has to be programmed in to the screensaver, it is not controlled by Windows.
Try it take your standard.scr file and change the extenson to.exe. It will run and as soon as u move the mouse it will exit and vise versa rename an exe file and rename it to scr. It will run as a screensaver and wont exit when u move the mouse.
I hope there aren't any API gurus out there to prove me wrong.

At least the mozilla foundatio have the balls to rate this Critical. MS would rate this low-med.
I love the way Microsoft use the phrase Genuine Advantage. The last time I was called Genuine, I was in London and I got conned out of £120.
ISP was vispaUK and i contacted them by phone

It is because, this time it's intentional.
...we'd have to cover the entire earth, actually more land, with cattle.
...or we'll be facing VERY expensive oil products soon.
Very true and if i remember correctly cattle especially cows contribute a significant amount to global warming as they excrete a lot of mephane.
Yup and every engine will smell like a cow.
