Note, right siders always seem to get the shaft.

ContentID, Fair-Isaac is more egregious in that they give little or no points to those paying early.

But if you miss one or two bills, then even if your history says you paid early dozens of times, guess what! They ding you hard!

Wish that Fair-Isaac gets class action sued over that penalty heavy system they monopolize as a close source score on your credit!

John Corzine probably has a high score, and you probably have a lower one, hmmm. something is wrong here, mighty wrong, ContentID wrong again!

No good deed goes unpunished. Welcome to be part of the ninety-nine percent.

Flash is woefully buggy as heck. Face facts, it only works good and does not shield the respective host systems from its weaknesses. Endless loops that sap power from the host machines occur regularly. All of it can be fixed, but Adobe just does not get it when it comes to sheer quality.

Now James Gosling, he knows how to make a bullet proof host environment with a similar type of state machine. Hire him to fix Flash and even Apple will be happy about it.

Plus perhaps James Gosling can get Flash recoded in a tight small team to actually even work natively in the Android Browser on a G1, that would prove it can work on iPhone with no problem given a chance.

Until then, HTML 5 will take all the thunder.

Rescue Flash? James Gosling is currently unemployed and unchallenged! Adobe, just recruit James Gosling and hand him the keys to the Flash kingdom with authority to absolutely rule upon its quality with his name splashed on it for reputation quality control.

Bingo Bango Enough Said...

The large telecoms and cable outfits have tons of unused IP space that could be CIDR blocked out, think of the class A 24.X.X.X for instance that used to be @Home and Rodgers, large portions are empty! AT&T moved @Home to 12.X.X.X and then subsequently provides managed space to cable outfits like Mediacomm etc.

Now Mediacomm has just finally got around to getting its own space, is AT&T offering to CIDR out their precious class A?

No of course not, like some of the others, they get allocations from ARIN and sit on them instead of consolidating. They have scads of CIDR blocks used by all sorts of companies out there. Heck ARIN should just re-map some of those AT&T direct to the customers, let them keep the 12.X.X.X A Space.

Back in the day, Mark Lottor did mapping of all live ping able IP's before firewalls were so common and NAT extremely rare. If he were to make a comparison with whomever does like mapping today to those legacy maps and IP allocations, it would be a fascinating graphic to show the transformations and if by carrier, show how greedily the Worldcom/UUNets Sprints and Baby Bells have asked for space, color to their identity and now look to see many time those scattered CIDR blocks are empty. Sprint, old UUNet and Baby Bell CIDR's if unused, should get back into the pool.

Where is Mark Lottor and these newer guys with the latest IPV4 utilization's mapped out for the comparison analysis.

Enough said.
