Imidacloprid is better known as Bayer's Gaucho, at least in Europe.

Hear, hear.

While the Commission is no more democratically elected than the Council, at least they are serious about transparency. The Council holds a disproportionate amount of power, and they are completely opaque.

Yes, modern cryptosystems do that. It's called an Initialisation Vector.

You won't have one properly licensed, since the courts were unable to agree who owns the copyrights to Genera. On the other hand, that means you cannot be sued by the copyright holders, since nobody is quite sure who the copyright holders are.

You'll need:

• an x86_64 machine running Linux;
• the Genera emulator from http://www.unlambda.com/download/genera/snap4.tar.gz
• the Genera binaries and sources from http://torrents.thepiratebay.org/3769989/Symbolics_Open_Genera_2.0_for_Alpha_-_complete_package_with_Lisp.3769989.TPB.torrent

Setting it up requires a little bit of work (you'll need to set up a local NFS server and to tweak your X server's modifier mappings), but I warmly recommend it -- it's complete enough to do some real work in Emacs, and the full sources and documentation are there for your greater enjoyment.

And you admit it?

Please show me where the OpenNTPD code computes the dispersion and root delay that it sends to clients, and I will retract my claim.

Yes it does -- that's what the LI (Leap Indicator) field is for.

OpenNTPD has clearly been written by someone who doesn't understand NTP. For example, it advertises incorrect root delay and disperson values, which can cause clients to fail to achieve a majority vote, or to pick the wrong peer to synchronise against. (Earlier versions were even worse, they advertised themselves as being at stratum 0, which could cause synchronisation loops; this has thankfully been fixed, but it doesn't inspire much confidence in the authors' competence.)

I've also found OpenNTP to fail to regulate the local clock on dodgy hardware (it would oscillate wildly, with an amplitude of 3 seconds or so), in situations where the reference ntpd coped just fine.

Folks, do yourself and everyone a favour -- run the reference NTP, run chrony, heck, run some SNTP client, but please avoid OpenNTPD.

No, it means White Ruthenia . (Rus' as opposed to Rossiya.)

IPv6 is enabled by default on all Linux distributions known to me, and that has been the case for five years or so.

(Your confusion may stem from the fact that, unlike Windows, Linux distributions do not enable the Teredo protocol by default. But that's a different matter.)

More difficult to debug when it fails, but often yields better performance:

sudo apt-get install miredo

So you invest $175,000 without making sure you'll get software updates?

I rest my case -- it's your own fault.

Most large companies have been requiring IPv6-capable gear for the last 4 years or so, while the DoD mandages IPv6 support since 2005.

Because of that, most recent hardware and software is IPv6-capable. Cisco IOS, for example, has been doing IPv6 since 2001. Microsoft servers have been able to work over IPv6 since Server 2003. Mac OS X since 10.4, Linux since the 2.4 series.

If you're still stuck with IPv4-only hardware or software, it's your fault.
