  1. Re:There are 5 trillion /56 blocks on IPv6 Achieves 50% Reach On Major US Carriers (worldipv6launch.org) · · Score: 1

    So... time for the world's first 128 bit CPU? Dedicated to routers? Measured in packets routed per second or something like that? But there was some game console that had a 128 bit GPU, I seem to recall.

    And, the smallest subnet they are giving out now is a /64? so "only" 2^64 of those. Good or bad?

  5. /10 reserved on ARIN IPv4 Addresses Run Out Tomorrow · · Score: 1

    So the counter at he.net goes up and down it seems. More reliable is what ARIN posts on their website. As of today they show 0.00333 of a /8 left. So a little less than 56,000. Arin seem to be giving out a few /24s every day. But ARIN also set aside 4194304 addresses to facilitate moving organizations to IPv6. Earlier this year the counter at he.net showed about 4.8 M IP addresse left, then it jumped down to a couple hundred thousand. They took that 4.1 M out. So probably in a few weeks or about a month, they will run out.

  6. APNIC is exhausted? on North America Runs Out of IPv4 Addresses · · Score: 1

    Hurricane Electric says that as of today, APNIC has ~ 11 Million IP addresses. Am I missing something?

  7. IPv6 on F-Secure's Hypponen: The Internet Is a 'US Colony' · · Score: 1

    Well IPv6 could change this, if it's true. US is not the world leader on this internet. So many US network admins don't want to get on, they like their /8 10.x.y.z. So we slide further and further back while others charge ahead.

  8. Corrupt, Evil, theiving liars on Monsanto Takes Home $23m From Small Farmers According To Report · · Score: 1

    I live in the suburbs, near a big city. I have a small lawn. I want to grow grass, and vegetables. I don't mind the weeds. I love weeds. Farming is not a mainstay in my state. It is not big business. Plenty of people here want to do organic, and biodynamic. We want to keep Monsanto completely OUT (yes, shouted) of our state. I don't want anything from Monsato growing on my property. I won't buy anything from them. Their suicide seeds blow in from somewhere, and grow in my yard. I wouldn't put it past them to show up at my place, say I stole their crop, sue me for $5,000,000, and take my house and all my worldly possessions, and leave me homeless. This is what they do. Anyone who thinks otherwise, has fallen for their bullshit. They are out to make food serfs out of everyone. That is reality. Somewhere in their corporate HQ, is a business plans, to make it impossible to avoid buying food that they have patented. You will owe them someday, for your fruit, your veggies, your eggs, your meat, everything. Their gene tech will be in everything, most people don't know, this is exactly what they want.

  9. Use IPv6 on Voting Machine Problem Reports Already Rolling In · · Score: 1

    Design a little fob, with an IPv6 address, specifically allocated for voting. Put a web server on it. Get the voter a key pair. They can post their vote on a public site, either anonymously, or with their name on it. Everyone can check and count the votes. Scrap all the existing e-voting machines. That person's IPv6 address is theirs for life, and never re-used. It stores and posts their votes forever. It's solar powered and runs off static ram. The info from it can be copied as needed, to verify if anyone wants to.

  10. Good - keep mickey out on Kaspersky To Build Secure OS For SCADA Systems · · Score: 1

    Keep M$ out of mission critical and high-danger environments? Good, and it's about time. Nothing could be smarter.

  11. Re:Nothing strange about this on Seafood Raised on Animal Feces Approved for Consumers · · Score: 1

    When plants convert crap to something edible, in the process, they render safe any bacteria in the crap. Or, the bacteria in the crap is rendered safe by sunlight, fresh air, wind, and maybe other environmental factors (cold, rain). When animals live crowded together and their crap is not allowed to get naturally cleaned in this fashion, and they dump the crap into lagoons, where it festers, then it gets into rivers and streams and pollutes and kills fish. Am I wrong?

  12. The rest of the world? on IPv6 Traffic Remains Minuscule · · Score: 1

    What about the rest of the world? Brazil, Russia, India, China, France? Other countries? Aren't they using it more than the U.S.? I think the U.S. will be the slowest to migrate. We have the least need. Or so people perceive it.

  13. religious people on Sarah Palin 'Target WikiLeaks Like Taliban' · · Score: 1

    Some percentage of voters will vote for her as long as she always says, "I'm a Christian and I oppose abortion". One of my coworkers is like that. With Bush, someone else people said was, "At least he always did what he said he was going to do" even if this is not true. Some people like a simple, straightforward person, who they think is honest. She's a real life Forest Gump, with some heavy duty Americana, Christianity, and "we're always right" and "bomb the living hell out of them" mixed in. But I don't think she can win a primary, and I don't think she can beat Obama. They will tell her what to say, and give her a hidden wire for the debates, but I still think she will flub things. People ultimately concluded that Bush was not quite as dumb as he came across. With Palin, it's pretty obvious that she's an idiot. It reminds of Michigan, in 2006, Dick DeVos vs. Jennifer Granholm. People were really unhappy with Granholm but terrified of DeVos. The republican should have won. But because it was DeVos, Granholm actually won re-election. Of course, the rest of the country is not all like Michigan....

  14. Solar and other renewables on Nuclear Energy Now More Expensive Than Solar · · Score: 2

    I just like the idea of renewable better. I would rather just live without the electricity if I can't get it from these sources. I don't use ac now in my car or at home. I just get along without it. My office has ac though. I would rather pay more for renewable energy, regardless of cost.

    What might Brooks himself say? I imagine something like this: "Oh, you disproved TMMM? Great! I've been waiting for someone to prove me wrong. That means you've found a reproducible way to improve the efficiency with which software is developed. You've found the silver bullet. Could you please publish your solution and let us all review it?" So, we're waiting...

  17. giant corporations on Will Your Credit Report Disqualify You For a Job? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Giant corporations declare bankruptcy, keep on operating, shed all their debt, and emerge from bankruptcy freed of all their debt, and just keeping doing business as usual. Sure, they may have the "bad credit" that a bankruptcy brings, but how does that really hurt them? Not like bad credit seems to hurt an individual. How would you know if you didn't get a job because of your credit? They don't have to give a reason why they didn't hire someone, do they?

  19. Re:What's the Killer App? on Chrome OS Designed To Start Microsoft Death Spiral · · Score: 1

    The killer app comes from the fact that there *should* be competition on desktops. Apple doesn't represent that. Google Linux will be the base of another n distros that all promise to do what you need for much much cheaper. Siemens NX runs on linux. That does 3d modeling. Linux doesn't need photoshop. Maybe Adobe will fall behind if they don't port to Linux. Ditto for D'Asssault Systemes and Quicken.

  20. Spin-offs from Google Chrome on Chrome OS Designed To Start Microsoft Death Spiral · · Score: 2

    I still say "Google Linux" will give linux name brand credibility. Corporations will start to look at it. Other IT vendors, both big and small, will be able to add to it, and market it as being however thin or fat as you need. m$ took proprietary hardware out of the picture, and gave us a proprietary OS on commodity hardware. Isn't the next logical step a commodity OS on commodity hardware?

    French company Dassault Systemes has announced that Catia V6 will only be available for Windows, whereas their chief competitor Siemens NX has released it for linux, MacOS, and (still) some unix flavors. Did m$ pay off D'assault Systemes (as well)?

  22. other places to charge on Nissan Unveils All-Electric LEAF · · Score: 1

    Your employer, as part of your compensation, could offer to let you charge while you're at the office. Or you could pay to charge at the office, maybe. Society could change to have recharging "spots" every 70 miles where you can get a meal, get on the internet, take a nap, do your laundry, whatever you do at home (almost). Just being hung up for 8 hours doesn't mean you absolutely cannot do it. I would buy one. I live 6.5 miles from work. I bike everywhere else, weather permitting. Some places where I socialize are further, but this car would let me get around to them as well, and home again, wherever home turned out to be that day. For gypsies or telecommuters, a car like this could be all you would ever want or need. We have to do something.

  23. Go Vegan on Retina Blood Vessels Predict Common Fatal Diseases · · Score: 1

    The best way to keep your cholestorol low is to go vegan and of course be a healthy vegan. My cholestorol is 146. I am not even close to at risk for any of the well-understood health issue. Better yet, in addition to going vegan, go raw and get really healthy.
