We refer to that as the "Open Source" development model

This is the way I see it. I currently run a company with a very very large install base of machines.

My machines are all running Centos 5.x. For me, getting 5.6 out to production is the HIGHEST priority. I could give a crap about 6.0, especially since everyone knows that the first RHEL x.0 release will be completely buggy anyway. For deploy-able stable products, RHEL 4.3 and RHEL 5.1 were the first in their series to be decent enough to run in production from our testing and bug reports back to Redhat's bugzilla. I completely expect RHEL 6.0 to be completely unstable and bug ridden, and hopefully 6.1 has ironed most of them out.

I'd be perfectly happy if CentOS never released a RHEL x.0 release.

I personally think Scientific Linux has their priorities backward, and CentOS is in the right. I'd rather have 5.6 before 6.0.

You missed the next month:

"6.0 begin sync to external mirrors" is June 6.

Maybe a release within a week of that.

If we're so worried about global warming just counteract it by increasing global dimming:

Because China killed them all already?

The only real way to ensure that we don't run out of IP space is to rent them, not sell them. Charge a "property tax" of $1 per IP a month and you'll see tons of organizations with class A blocks give back IP space that they weren't using anyway because they can't afford $16M a month. No organization should ever need more than a few class Cs of publicly routable IP space.

There's a very simple solution to this. We should be renting IP addresses, not handing them out. Make publicly routable IP addresses cost $1 a month. Many class A owners would be dying to give back address space that they aren't using. Isn't that the answer to a limited supply of anything? Set a value to them so they aren't wasted.

Why aren't the leases on internet addresses high enough to convince people to give them back? Price them at a buck a month, and if someone truly can afford to spend $16m a month on a class A, let them. Otherwise they will give them back really fast. What's wrong with a little capitalism?

Because that obviously worked well for drunk driving? You know that 37% of all automobile fatalities still involve alcohol right? http://www.alcoholalert.com/drunk-driving-statistics.html

Sure that number may be down from previous years, but its still too high.

Speaking of which, on Android why does the very popular app "The Weather Channel" need "Services that cost you money: directly call phone numbers" because I sure don't see that functionality anywhere.
