I've mostly been struck at how irritating their website is to use. I went through most of the hassle of registering an account, but never finished, because it was just too irritating and long. Way to much reading and clicking.
Fraud prevention. Paypal is the ultimate crime-to-cash gateway. Or at least it used to be. Those hoops you had to jump through are supposed to ward off evildoers. Still, with a little persistence, you can rip off anyone in the world and turn it into cash without ever having to show your face.
If there's nobody downstream in the group, then the router doesn't carry that group.
So every core router on the Internet should passively accept multicast JOINs and maintain state for every single multicast session going on across the entire Internet? I don't think so. Do you have any idea how vulnerable that would make your core? There's a reason the MBONE is routed discretely.
Turning on multicast so you can process OSPF HELLOs on 224.0.0.5 doesn't mean you're multicast routing. Your argument that it saves resources on the transmit end is perfectly logical but expecting everyone else's core to do the work for you (maintain state, duplicate frames, process paths, discover loops, weed out bad guys) is nuts.
It sounds to me like you've learned multicasting (probably for a CCIE) but haven't done any gigabit routing. I stick my my statement. Nice in theory, not in practice (at least not on a global scale). Do yourself a favor and be a proponent of something that's actually useful.
With these guys using a football one of them claimed was used in the Redskins/Broncos Super Bowl and in fact by Tim Smith, during one of his two touchdown runs.
Man, I hope he didn't put any of his DNA on that ball.
I've heard this sort of argument before, usually from religious conservatives in the press explaining why gay marriage will end the world as we know it.
There a psychology behind it. The Christian way is to destroy or outlaw that which they find offensive. It's a pretty potent philosophy: tie some vague Biblical phrase to your cause, instill moral outrage in your followers on Sundays and let the most violent and shackle-minded loose on those people or institutions who make them uncomfortable, imbued with complete moral immunity as they believe they are acting on the belief God wants them to do it. Boom, there goes an abortion clinic. Oh no son, you can't marry the person you love. Who cares who you hurt when you're doing God's work?
Everything that makes most people uncomfortable the Christian wants removed from existence. Really, do they care who marries whom? No. It's about condoning homosexuality or, more specifically, sex between people of the same gender. It's about damning that little uncomfortable itch they feel in the locker room when they're changing with other men. Behind every Christian brigade you can generally find something sexual or challenging to the power structure.
Multicast is one of those technologies which was designed quite well and makes perfect sense in theory, but is seldom useful.
If this guy is broadcasting to one person in Topeka, one in Taipei and one in Tennessee, does he need multicast? He doesn't. Should every router on the Internet participate in the creation of PIM trees or allow the inclusion of hundreds of thousands of/32 routes under the 224 prefix? They shouldn't. So is multicast useful for streaming audio and video across the Internet, you know, multi-casting? It isn't.
Google will tell the big telcos to go shaft themselves, will give us all 6MB internet pipes for free, simple for agreeing to use the Google Browser which contains targeted ads.
And how exactly do you expect them to do that? Google has money, but enough money to pull fiber to every household in America? Um, no.
It's possible they could resell services via the CLEC route but that would be DSL and unless they want to add a crusty telco division and postulate on dry pairs and bridge taps, that's senseless.
There's no reason to become an ISP. Unless you have preexisting cable plant, the margins are too slim.
Schneider said Sheehan had worn a T-shirt with an anti-war slogan to Tuesday night's speech and covered it up until she took her seat. Police warned her that such displays were not allowed in the House chamber, but she did not respond, the spokeswoman said.
Yeah, that's a great rule. "There shall be no displays or placards protesting the policies of the current administration within the House Chamber."
Nor do they demand reparations to Europe for the million or so Europeans who were captured by slave traders, and sold in North Africa and the middle east.
Reparations would go a long way towards providing equilibrium to an economic system that's slanted dramatically along racial lines because of slavery.
Well, firstly, most (all?) tier 1 providers already do _native_ IPv6 and secondly, why exactly do the tier 1 providers need to do any reconfiguration to carry 6to4 traffic?
Which Tier 1 routers do you have enable on? Because the ones I've worked on aren't configured for v6, except for the ones specifically installed for that purpose. At least in North America, v6 and v4 are routed discretely. Which means no significant v6 peering, no significant v6 on the core and so no significant v6 footprint whatsoever.
Running v6 and v4 simultaneously requires an enormous memory footprint (at least for a router) as you are essentially doubling the size of the routing tables. As per fast switching, I'm not sure Cisco's 12000 series has line cards that can support a CEF FIB that large. That means processor-switched. That means no.
You want to keep spouting off about that which you do not understand? Or are we done here?
Clearly this guy isn't the sharpest stick in the shed, but his rant raises a valid point.
Why is it that he felt he could be successful creating a dual-boot machine the first time out of the box? Besides his misguided belief in his own cluefulness, something in the installer must have encouraged him that it would work. Dual booting a machine is a fairly complex undertaking, particularly if you're ignorant to things like master boot records and 1024 cylinder limitations. It takes some experience to manage partitions in that configuration. You can hose your box really easily. I know I did the first time I tried to dual boot.
Trying to find the sweet spot between usability and configurability is what Ubuntu faces in their battle to create a more friendly Linux desktop. This is exactly the kind of thing they'll need assistance with going forwards.
More to the point, what does Google plan to do that Ubuntu isn't already doing? The Ubuntu project has already made good progress in terms of usability and so forth; why would Google want to mess with a good thing? And once they rebrand Ubuntu, why would Ubuntu continue to offer their internal updates?
It seems more likely Google would partner with Ubuntu than snapshot their product and start wandering off in their own direction. Ubuntu could definitely use the human and network resources Google has to offer, but I don't see them just handing over all their work and letting Google take over, nor does it make sense for the two to start competing with one another.
Anyone who has an IPv4 address has an entire block of IPv6 addesses. With 6to4 you dont need any support from your ISP (well, as long as they're not actively blocking such traffic).
Or their routers aren't routing v6. Or their routers aren't configured for 6to4. Assumedly that would have to be done at the edge, as it would confound fast switching algorithms and push a core router over. Or the core routers between your ISP and your destination's ISP aren't configured for v6. Or your ISP is not getting v6 routes via BGP. Or another half-dozen reasons it won't work.
They are not blocking traffic when they are not configured to support it. It's real easy to say "well this makes more sense, they should do it" when you're not the one who actually has to make it work. A Tier1 provider can't just throw things in their configs and hope everything's OK. When you're pushing gigabits, even a few seconds of downtime can cost you millions.
I worked for a search engine in the Bay Area (not Google) which employed about 200-300 database servers, each stocked with 3 hard drives (one root, one mirrored set for the database files), the mirrored disks pegged with I/O.
If you think about it, there's no reason for Microsoft products, or any closed-source software project or operating system for that matter, to be insecure. Their bugs should remain hidden. It's not like you can peruse the Exchange source code looking for malloc'ed memory without bounds checks, like you could with Sendmail for example. Any vulnerability in Windows has to be discovered either accidentally or by someone with access to the source. Open source projects don't have that advantage, which makes them more susceptible to targeted crackers, but ultimately the code ends up more secure, if you will.
If Microsoft were to open their source at this point, you can expect an avalanche of security holes would appear for this very reason. So they're right when they say that's not a great idea. But they would never come out and publically declare that their code is ripe for the picking. So when they put that information out there, it is most certainly FUD.
"So what if Bush tries to silence scientists...its bad, but what am I going to do about it?" What you can do about it is vote for Democrats in the coming election so we can get enough seats to boot this guy based SOLELY on the countless laws he has broken.
Jerking your knee to a democratic vote because of George Bush is the kind of shallow-minded response that's being cultivated by people in Washington. If you think that way, they win.
This really isn't Republican vs Democrat, left vs right, donkey vs elephant, yadda yadda yadda. Were that true every Republican would act as Bush acts, and every Democrat would not. And that quite simply isn't true. There are plenty of wise Republicans and foolish Democrats.
The reason we're in so much trouble currently is that a faction within the Republican party has hijacked its agenda. If Bush and Co go to jail the way they deserve to, it'll be the Republicans that send them there. Don't count on that. No one within that party has the balls to take them out for fear the entire party will be compromised. I strongly suspect more sensible Republicans are hoping the term will end quietly so they can put a moderate candidate on the 2008 ballot.
We need to get this country to the point where we argue issues rather than affiliations. Until that happens, politicians can run any issue or candidate under their flagpole and get them done. That's why they love partisanship. It makes it very easy to get things done.
The next day the older daughter said to the younger, "Last night I lay with my father. Let's get him to drink wine again tonight, and you go in and lie with him so we can preserve our family line through our father." So they got their father to drink wine that night also, and the younger daughter went and lay with him. Again he was not aware of it when she lay down or when she got up. So both of Lot's daughters became pregnant by their father.
Such naughty, naughty girls. And Lot... oh, what a bad, bad man. But at least he didn't burn a video of the proceedings to a CD.
He is an example of what used to be known as a "small government" Republican. Those are actually real Republicans, like the kind that founded the country. God, do I miss those guys.
His argument, that the country evolved into the state its in today when it started pursuing Democratic ends, holds weight historically. The government used to be something of a laissez faire entity. When it started to reach out, with the New Deal and welfare and the various human interest administrations, it developed a new personality that, despite good intentions, has grown into the overbearing greedy monster we're burdened with today.
But if you give him that, then you have to ask the big question. If the Republican party isn't governing this country by PFKAR (Principles Formerly Known as Republican), which they most certainly are not, then what principles are they governing this country by?
Yes it is just you, and you ought to check that guilty conscience. Why would there be a problem with talking to a child or throwing a ball around...unless you are afraid it will lead to something else.
This is exactly the kind of pedestrian logic that is driving the country insane.
One mustn't approach children, because other people might think something's wrong.
One must approach children, otherwise other people will think you are a wrong person.
Onward Christian soldiers... thank you so much for your retarded moral system.
Those poor guys. Tut tut. Now their social lives are over. Jesus Christ, you just made me physically ill.

I guess Republicans feel canines who support their efforts should be lauded, while females that question their motives should be arrested.
