Sure. But I know very few people who are "angry" at the deer that they are planning on having for dinner. (I'm excluding military applications for this)

Um, if the point isn't to demonstrate/exercise your skills in the field, why not go buy your game meat from the store?

Odd.. every ISP that I've had gives out public IPs. Now, they're only willing to give you 2 usually, but they're proper public IPs. I'm not counting visiting hotels and such.

Not true... the CGN unit can do a bunch of interesting things to sort this out. Assigning or hashing port numbers to source IPs, to maintaining a massive set of logs of which subscriber used which IP and port at what time. Not saying that this is a _good_ thing, but is theoretically possible.

Bad premise. This appears to imply that the goal is to run old stuff. The concept of "Since it has been tested well, it's very stable" is where Debian is. New kernel means everything needs retesting. Are you volunteering the time and equipment to run that kind of testing? And it's not just the kernel that needs retesting, it's all of the rest of the packages. (I haven't checked to see if they want to ensure that the kernel is the same rev on all platforms as well...)

Maybe. But without the testing to back it up, that's too much of a risk. Now that Debian 7 has been released, I kinda expect the latest kernel to be making its way into experimental and then unstable soon. You can run a mixed branch installation should you so choose. Use stable for most everything, and bring Iceweasel in from testing (or even unstable).

That's Funny! For starters, Your phone is a computer too, and it fails the same way. Random reboots, arcane configuration paths and all, hidden bits, and when it hits the fan, many of the good bits are bolted shut.

What's bad about this statement is that it makes it sound like 6Mbps is horrible..... 56kbps on the other hand....

True story: Passing security, my wife had her nail clippers confiscated. As soon as we cleared security, we walked into one of the shops and bought another pair of nail clippers. What was the point of seizing them at security? Equally true story: we bought water in the security area in our originating airport. Transferred planes in London, and they seized the water. BTW: do they somehow scan all of the merchandise that was brought into the secured area, like the bottled water that you can't bring across security?

Ah the days of "PR#6", "CATALOG", "RUN", "BRUN", "INIT HELLO" ...... (and... Slashdot's filter not liking so many caps...)

Just visited the website. Their "Small" T5-2 server lists at over $50k USD.

Because big users can't afford to test every little point release that you make every 2nd day. Acceptance testing may take weeks.

I walk to work, and I practice swordplay. (Look up Western Martial Arts and/or Historical European Martial Arts). Yes, learning how to fight with a rapier, longsword, quarterstaff, etc.

They're usually mounted up some 10-20' in the air. Makes them much easier to see from a distance.

Around here, there's slower speed limits, a sign warning about a streetlight around the corner, an earlier blinking sign that turns on when that light goes yellow, or some combination of the three.

Same as above.

What about them? You look at the lights.

And you sound like you're attempting to justify your own inattention to the road. (oh look, I can throw around ad hominem attacks that do nothing for the argument too.) You should be keeping your eyes on the conditions around you, which _includes_ the next steet lights coming up (which may include: "Yep, next street lights are 2 miles away. They won't affect me for a while, I'll pay attention to them again when I'm closer."), the signage, the traffic around you, the potential for pedestrians to emerge from between parked cars, the fact that it just started raining, and all of the million other things that could go wrong. Don't develop tunnel vision where you can only see 30' in front of you.

Yes, I do expect people to notice how long the light has been green. It's called paying attention to your driving. ("Huh. That green has been on for a long time... it should be going yellow soon."). Be aware of where your point of no return is. Once you pass it, then you don't need to change your speed. Same with the other person who talked about the pedestrian walk signs. If they've gone to the blinking hand, you know that the yellow light is coming soon as well. And the part that seems to be confusing to some: you're supposed to stop for the yellow light, not the red. Yellow doesn't mean "If I gun it, I can still make it". Hmm.. checking my driving record. No tickets for running a red, no accidents.

I thought that was Cyberdyne Systems....

Even if there is another anti-trust suit... it'll take about 7 years before it finally gets resolved, and in the meantime the lockdown is already in force. And the hardware wasn't designed from the ground-up to only run one OS. It was designed to run a whole bunch of different things, then right at the end they actually add an additional lock to prevent other OSes from running.
