Why on earth do you think you would need an email account setup for your computer to spew spam? All that is needed, is that the computer is able to access tcp port 25 freely.
I fail to see what's taking so long - NAT is never a solution, and when ISP's starts handing out private IP's, the internet has truly lost. TCP/IP has always been about end-to-end connectivity, and NAT, while it may be handy in some cases, and helps saves a huge part of the adress space, it's not a good solution in the long run.
IPv6 on the other hand has plenty of advantages over IPv4 - the most obvious is the increased address space. Another, more unknown advantage, is the much simpler header, which in IPv4 has a lot of unnecessary fields, either because they're handled by other layers, or because the internet has changed since the protocol was born.
This lighter header, means less processing of the packet is needed, and routing operations should be simpler, and faster.
Another advantage is support for jumbograms (great for high speed point-point links), better support for mobile IP, and the huge address space, in combination with the large number of bits avilable for subnetting, should decrease the size of the global BGP table (which contains over 130 000 entries last time I checked).
So, it has these advantages:
- restores end-end connectivity
- less overhead on stable, dedicated point-point lines => more throughput
You don't need to upgrade the entire 6500; you can upgrade the supervisor with a cef engine with hardware support for IPv6 - of course , this means you'll have to take the unit down, but you should _never_ run single 6500's anyways, so a good chance to test layer 2 and layer 3 failover/redundancy.
Ever heard of a nice thing called Spanning Tree Protocol and the Campus Model for network design?
With proper network design, this would not be an issue.
The reason for that is simple. Techs in the military (at least in the nation where I'm hired, are practically brainwashed into seperating every system regardless of classification, to prevent hazards like this. It's really a royal pain in the ass, especially when you have to deploy 4 or 5 parallell networks using fibre optics only to take it down in a week or two, when one network could've served it all, but it is totally understandable, and I think that a lot of civilian businesses has a lot to learn when it comes to this.
I don't understand the scientists, how hard can that be? Let's just build a 30ft thick roof of lead in the atmosphere, and we get rid of all that dangerous electromagnetic radiation... wait, nevermind...
The media conglomerates is really starting to piss me off...
Every time someone offers a convinient download service (piracy, allofmp3, legalsounds), they start screaming foul play... Guess what, there's a reason why people use it; moderate pricing, freedom of format, no DRM. If they would offer a legal alternative with those three features, I would choose it any time of the year. But there's definetely a pattern here between copy protection, DMCA and DRM; **AA isn't happy until I have to purchase one CD for my CD-player, one mp3-song for mp3-player, 1 DVD for my DVD-player, 1 file for my computer, one file for my iPod Video, 1 file for my Sony PSP... if I wan't to play my Blu-Ray version of the movie in full resolution on my computer running Linux or Windows XP, I have to purchase a new video card with HDCP, and Windows Vista... and what if I release a dump of one of my BD-discs on ThePirateBay? I would guess the watermark would track me down, and a lawsuit would arrive in my mailbox by lunchtime... this is all about control over media, not about lost income... and the leader of the Pirate Party in Sweden said it all too well in a speech during the demonstrations this weekend. I suggest you all read it... (http://tpbeng.blogspot.com/2006/06/demonstration- speech-pics.html)
Well, statistics can always lie, but apache has had a steady growth, according to that graph, so I'm not too certain that Microsoft will take back that position by next sunday...
Anyways, another victory for FOSS, and proves once again that there's still hope for alternative software has a place in professional businesses:)
What I'm really curious about, is how many of those apache servers runs on windows machines, anyone got a statistic to point me to?
Slashdot Mirror
The PCI bus is 33MHz. 33 Million cycles equals about 1 second.

Whoooosh
7 comments, and no "BSD is dying"-troll yet? Slashdot confirms it, "BSD is dying-troll" is dying.

- better multicast support
In conclusion, if you fail to see the advantages, you're not a network engineer, or you shouldn't work as one.
You don't need to upgrade the entire 6500; you can upgrade the supervisor with a cef engine with hardware support for IPv6 - of course , this means you'll have to take the unit down, but you should _never_ run single 6500's anyways, so a good chance to test layer 2 and layer 3 failover/redundancy.

Interesting concept for sure, and I like the way virtual resolution is implemented.

Well, if we do that, and it results in bad sales, the distributor is just going to blame piracy, as always...
You can't put a price on pr0n...
1.6TB per disc? Nice, a cakebox of those, and I can have a backup of all of my pr0n :D
Only on slashdot, gets a comment about running over, steling and shooting a wooden model of Steve Ballmer, a +5 insightful mod :D
Man, wish I had mod points right now, someone please mod parent funny :)
DRM for movies, DRM for music. Why not DRM for weapons?
Makes me wonder if 64-bit WEP-encription is used...

Exactly what I had in my mind, now you see exactly how real it seems when the plumber comes to "fix the piping"...
New viewing angle tecnique for movies - fly on the wall...

If they make it so that it shows what exactly people are downloading, they can probably relabel it as a XXX cinema...
Of course not, we all know that minesweeper deserves that spot instead...
That would be great, "Control your very own galaxy for $199"
Yeah, that's not qall of it, they even accept credit cards :)
