I'm maybe one of the lucky guys who has an ISP who is actively supporting world IPv6-day. With no cost on my side I am running on IPv6 now. All of my devices at home and therefore also my webserver are IPv6 enabled. I have a AAAA record assigned to the hostname I own.

So it's a bit difficult to put myself in the position of the people who still do not have IPv6, but in my opinion IPv6 is not in its infancy, nor is it difficult to transition to IPv6 (provided the upstream provider does IPv6, but the ease of transition follows recursion).

Just pester your ISP.

Very jerky indeed. I took out my old floppies and loaded WOLF3D in dosbox and it was smooth as butter. Added bonus, I never had so much EMS and XMS memory free in my life!

So he's a nut with a gun. Kinda how the rest of the world sees the USA. Apologies for the overgeneralization.

So what's a POS? I know P/OS, but that's not a gun.

Apple doe the same in the Netherlands. The consumer organisation (consumentenbond) has warned Apple to inform customers about the minimum of 2 years of warranty wich is guaranteed by law (as opposed to the 1 year Apple is offering, and they also offer the 2 and 3 years extended 'AppleCare Protection Plan' at a price in the Netherlands).
The "consumentenbond" is contemplating legal actions if they don't change their ways:

In the article, one smart woman is saying:

"I like Precheck, but it would be much more valuable to me if I were able to know before leaving for the airport whether or not I had Precheck approval for that day's flights," said Beth Allen, a University of Minnesota economist and frequent traveler.

Yeah. That kinda defeats the purpose of the random regular screenings, doesn't it. Otherwise J. Random Terrorist would just have to become a frequent flyer and be enrolled in the Precheck programme to do his thing. Now wouldn't that be convenient.

I remember reading that it happened in 6 days. And not in 6 random days, no, 6 consecutive days (the first day, the second day, etc.). Ok, you could argue that the bible has a strange notion of time and that days in that period were a lot longer, but Genesis also states "And there was evening, and there was morning", so one day is defined by the same standards we have today. Still it could mean that the earth was turning around its own axis a lot slower.
But then again, that would contradict the fact that people in those days were getting a lot older than today (Abraham apparently lived to be 205).
So you need a different explanation to your bible to be convincing. To me, it is not.

I cannot take the US serious anymore when parents start giving their children names that come straight out of cartoons.

That is what you get in the Netherlands for armed robbery. Even though sencences have gone up in recent years, they still are low compared to other countries.
And keep in mind it's a 13 year old kid. It has to be something very serious to lock up kids at that age.

Just one thing: this not only applies to Holland, but is an issue in the whole of the Netherlands.

Ziggo and XS4ALL have as of today blocked access to the Pirate Bay. The thing is: the court ordered Ziggo and XS4ALL to block certain IP addresses associated with the Pirate Bay, based on a list given by non-governmental organisation BREIN, which purports to protect the rights of intellectual property. The court also ruled that BREIN can add IP-addresses to this list for Ziggo and XS4ALL to block, without further court rulings! Basically the've given BREIN free play to censor the internet.

Forget about what the police can do with autonomous vehicles. Who is liable when two autonomous vehicles collide? I wasn't driving the thing, it was driving itself! So the collision is a result of faulty programming by the manufacturer.
I forsee huge lawsuits and multibillion losses for car manufacturers.

I've used PDAs for close to 25 years now. My first was a HP 320 LX. In those days of early mobile phones PDAs and mobile phones where two very distinct things. By the time they got integrated the PDAs were still too big to be used as a proper phone (my HTC YasYar comes to mind as something I never put near my ears), at least if you wanted a PDA that was actually useful for something. But now I even have a PDA with a phone (smartphone) that is small enough to use as a phone.
And I hate it as a phone.

The problem I have with it is that a phone is always on and a smartphone is not. I need to actively switch it on to see if and who called or sent me a text message. And on top of it it does not even work properly with the bluetooth system in my car.
My 10 year old Nokia 6310i does work with that bluetooth system. I'm going back to using a standard old dumbphone for my calls. On the plus side, it will also last for two weeks without a recharge.

Why would it be funny? At home I have the very first pocket calculator (HP 35) and it uses three AA batteries and drains in about a day. At school I used a Casio FX-82 which, even with daily use, never needed a battery change and still works (granted, I don't use it that often anymore).

Not to be pedantic, but apparently you can get a degree in religious studies.
Regardless of that: if they can't answer questions about a course because their book of stories tells them it's not so, then fail them.

And this, ladies and gentlemen, is why the economy is in decline. Yet more money spent on worthless things. Basically this is what drives inflation. The more money wasted like this, the less there is to spent on actual increase of value.
.xxx domains were a useless idea anyway and now they've evolved into a bad idea.
