It makes sense for several years already, as a lot of "firewalls" (eg, that nice Great Chinese Firewall) and various other such country-wide blockades to the Internet, do not have a single bit of understanding of IPv6, and as long as they remain that way, IPv6 will work like a charm......

Next to the other thing for home users: everything becomes accessible, instead of having to get IPv4 addresses from your home ISP (which generally they won't do, but indeed there are cases where they do), or getting a private server outside in a network, which is not home. For years already: set up an IPv6 tunnel, get a prefix, use it from anywhere.

There are only 9 labs which are real IBM Research Laboratories: Almaden, Austin, Brazil, China, India, Haifa, Tokyo, Watson and Zurich

linky: http://www.research.ibm.com/worldwide/index.shtml which does not list Sao Paolo, Brazil yet though.

This new one in Australia is just a new IBM R&D center, part of IBM, but not part of IBM Research though....

As that thing does not even seem to fly and people always like to see movies, check: http://ng.uavp.ch/ for a huge amount of information about NG-UAVP's (Next Generation Universal Areal Video Platform) of course all open source hard and software.

Also, don't forget to check this cool cyber-cute overload: Quadrocopter Drone Has Its Own Little Home :)

Btw, what is so special about adding a wireless card/stick to a drone and letting it sniff the airwaves? :)

To make sure that no other packages like eg base-files suddenly start adding these kind of packages you might want to add to /etc/apt/preferences or prolly better a file like /etc/apt/preferences.d/dontwant something like:

Package: avahi-daemon canonical-census
Pin: release v=dontwant,a=dontwant
Pin-Priority: 1001

This will block two annoying packages that don't belong on most servers.

avahi, because you don't need to announce everywhere when your server is located somewhere in a DC (indeed it might be handy in a local network, but it stops being useful when you don't have multicast routing and/or have a routed network)

canonical-census, because Ubuntu does not need to know what your server is doing.

Of course other packages can be blocked in a similar way from being auto-added by apt. (unfortunately a dpkg 'hold' does not work).

Another way is to make a fake empty package, then the depends are satisfied, in the above case you might have packages which refuse to install because the package can't be found. Do make sure with 'apt-cache policy' to see if you don't have other apt-prefs at a prio of 1001 (or higher if that is possible) otherwise they might still get there.

I am also wondering when Ubuntu/Redhat and other such commercial "Linux" companies start being nice to all the people who actually do the hard work and start acknowledging that those people are what they are selling/supporting/consulting on and earning money with.
