They've already been hacked several times, but people forgot about it because they were flashed.

Yes.

ARIN doesn't care. At this point, they would just prefer to push everyone over to IPv6, so what's the point in getting a few extra addresses, if it just delays what they want?

I asked the owner of an ISP that question. The answer was basically, money. The transition will cost money, and there is zero upside to spending that money before you have to.

I don't think anyone ever said they were the most secure organizations in the world. In the case of Sony specifically, their security was notable for its poor quality.

In 2011, they ran out from IANA. Now they are running out in ARIN, which is the supply allocated to North America.

After this the only way to get IP addresses will be to pay a broker. The cost will go up and up over several years, until IPv6 is adopted, then the price will go down. IPv6 is already being rolled out in several places, so it's not an impossibility. Your phone more than likely uses IPv6, for example.

I'll bet venture capitalists know that game, and are more skilled at avoiding tricksters than you are at tricking them.

Lots of people do, because exercise makes you hungrier. If you jog for an hour, you'll burn ~400 calories, which is the number of calories in a good sized bagel with cream cheese.

Exercise to keep yourself healthy and strong. If you want to lose weight, change what you eat.

There is plenty of fun stuff in computer science. Trying to make people like it because it's "a good job" sounds like a way to make people bored with it.

I became a programmer because I like programming. The fact that I can make money doing it is just a happy coincidence.

That sounds like a joke, but it's not. I've seen it happen. Never work for a company that rips off its customers, because they will just as surely rip you off when the time comes.

Itt should also be mentioned that programmers typically still get a huge paycheck in cash, even when they get some stock options.

How do you know? There are important people on this forum.

It doesn't matter if it's intentional or not, the exploits are there. Even OpenBSD hasn't managed to keep remote exploits out of their system (although practically speaking, good luck breaking into an OpenBSD system).

Here's a map of the Spratly islands. You can how they are positioned relative to countries around them.
