Some colos don't even provide v6 yet.

Some ISP's still don't suport it.

Some classes of network gear only recently got hardware v6 support. Older gear still in service pushes v6 onto the CPU. Probably why those colos and ISP's don't support it.

And I still see important v6 fixes coming in hardware changelogs, mostly on the LAN management stacks (neighbor discovery, mDNS, etc.)

That said, the pieces are finally coming together in the past two years, roughly.

I would bet 2030* will see v6 at around 75% of traffic as that old gear is tricked out and the stacks wind up in maintenance mode.

At home I actually have more light bulbs on v6 than desktops, but that'll change when my switches get too old and tired. I could replace them all right now to change but there would be no benefit to me for dropping three to four grand. None of my home use cases would benefit.

* 2038 if the politicians do actually create a global depression which is looking increasingly likely

....porn will lead the way.

On second thought, I really hope not.

So what are they bitching about?

If they actually produce films (and not just have sham "production" firms to nab another percentage of the gross) this is a golden opportunity for them to undercut the soulless, overstaffed risk-averse megastudios.

Distribution costs nearly nothing today, and the studios no longer have the lock on film distribution.

They're pissing on 'you' and telling you it's raining, if the summary is correct.

It usually follows the business model collapsing and precedes a fork and the original just going into support.

Does BYD make dumb cars or is that mandatory control-grid over there?

Also, how dare they not comply with a US control grid!

Excuse me while I go find a '77 Lincoln Town Car. But do make a dumb electric with a good cold-weather battery and let me know.

I've seen too much sausage being made to bet on cell service always existing .

Yes, but it could prove the genes that could eventually be targeted by a gene therapy. As a therapeutic it might work for eradication even if it's not integrated.

Then there was that Chinese guy who got arrested for creating engineered babies with the outside claim being he was introducing HIV resistance but everybody thinks he was trying to enhance intelligence. If both are true things could get interesting.

The metadata of later recordings show DAT as the source.

I guess technically they're audio and they're cassettes, but, yeah ... tech articles.

FWIW in the 80's I spent too much on audio gear and I would record a DDD CD onto an expensive metal cassette and my friends would gush at the clarity of CD. I would then push the power button on the CD changer.

In the metadata I see recorders like this:

This ain't your grandaddy's Walkman.

That said I listened to a few tracks and they were audience recordings, not board feeds.

Historically important, not peasant for listening.

Perusing the top-viewed list there are very few bands most people have heard of. The local bands don't seem to do many covers.

As I a reference point I clicked through to an R.E.M. concert and listened to Orange Crush.

The guy doing the secondary vocals sounded tone deaf - way off on pitch, OK on tempo.

Not that RIAA has any sanity at all and they say Jack Vallenti was involves in killing JFK, but I wouldn't listen to that track again. The drummer was on-point, though. Sounded like Pearl heads from the 80's to me.

There should be about zero lost sales from this.

Just an agreement to only pass packets that are signed with a key issued by a biometric-identified account on a walled-garden closed-source platform with a key-escrow style TPM-like opaque crypto module.

When the time cones to flip that switch.

Google has been told to prevent people from installing their own software on Android. It's ramping up slowly but the control grid also requires that no open source phone platform can get transit.

Does Sony demand 100% of ticket sales for the first two weeks like LucasFilm was reported to do? Harry Potter via WB too IIRC and other big properties?

Without asking why these ads run and why a popcorn and soda is $11, nothing will change and more theaters will go under.

I just learned that my local theater now has free refills on both popcorn and soda . This is a good idea as the goal is to get the $11 and if materials cost is $0.50 or $2 that doesn't really matter vs. no sale.

FWIW that theater ran two trailers before Project Hail Mary and no other ads. One I forgot and Mortal Combat looks like the worst movie ever made.

These are the same people that insist "assault rifles" must be banned, despite being unable to define them beyond "they're scary".

I had a Pentium IV that operated at 700C.

Nonsense. It's clearer than ever that you don't need a $500m budget to make even a blockbuster film anymore (esp if you don't have to pay Adam Sandler $48m to be in it - is he really worth that? cmon...).

These people are signing their names to this in the belief that their 'star power' carries some credibility. I don't know with whom but my point is that they can make productions themselves.

Joss Whedon made Dr Horrible's Singalong in 2007-8 for $450k and it made $3m as of 2012 - in fact it made him personally more than 2012 Avengers.
