Yes, in 10 years pop music will consist of recorded bathroom noises of the "artist" digitally tuned to sound like a human singing.

You must not have been made to read Thoreau's Civil Disobedience in high school

Your loss.

My post was originally going to be along this line of reasoning and I was concerned I would be flagged as flamebait. Thank you for voicing my opinion for me!!!

.. instead of shutting it down redirect all DNS requests to a page that says "Hey, butthead, your computer is infected. Fix it!"

They Harry Potter books reference London England, so of course, Hogwarts is a real place..... Yeah.. riiiight.

This is the same line of reasoning that you use.

Just a note that claiming that this is any evidence to back-up the validity of the bible and Torrah. It would be an appeal to antiquity logical fallacy to make that claim.

This is just evidence that the story of the Tower of Babel is a very old story. Nothing more.

Nothing to see here, theists.

Ouch! Ouch! Ouch! That hurt!

Yes, from personal experience, if you are too nice to users, then users tend to glom-on to you. Instead of the person trying to figure out something on their own and learning it, they start coming to you for every damned little thing.

It's similar to the situation back in the day when children would ask their parents how to spell a word, and the parents told the child to look the word up in the dictionary themselves.

Unless the IT guy is a single guy and the glom-on user is a pretty single young lady, that kind of arrangement is an unappealing time-suck.

mod parent up.

You will quickly learn that running a mail server is about as much fun as cleaning a public restroom -- all day -- every day.

They could also just ditch Orbital and go with SpaceX for all of COTS.

Strange that no one else has picked-up on the fact that there is more than one player in this game.

Setting up a home email server was a lot of fun; however, constantly trying to keep one step ahead of the spammers and having my email sent to the bit-bucket by poorly designed anti-spam systems used by large ISP became a major drag. I finally threw in the towel and moved my email domain to Google Apps.

I trusted Google implicitly up until a couple of months ago when the stories of email accounts being wiped started to surface and have since set up a system similar to those already mentioned here to backup my email.

I've been running IPv6 on my home network and have had IPv6 tunneling running through HE.net for the past year.

My Apple Time Capsule allows IPv6 tunneling and allocates addresses to my machines on the network for me. I even set up a AAAA record in my DNS service to allow people to see my personal web site over an IPv6 address.

I can hold up my hand and say that I'm ready to go as soon as my ISP gets off it's butt. It will be nice to be able to shut-off all that annoying NAT crap some day!

... to the Space Falcon 9 "Heavy" (http://www.spacex.com/falcon9_heavy.php)

She is clearly cupping her ear in order to hear the person speaking to her off camera.

She's hard of hearing -- not a time traveler.

... that it is my understanding that this "contageous ad-hoc" SSID issue was fixed by Microsoft YEARS ago.

It just goes to show you that some Windows users never install updates -- and they not only do they not install updates, but they try to get something for nothing....
