Please, if you insist on advocating a position that is, in the long term, costly and damaging to the world's infrastructure, at least know what you are talking about

No, the correct ruling is the just and logical one. Just because twelve people think you did something bad and you should be somehow punished, it doesn't make it right 'correct'.

You could try 75ohm to 120ohm Baluns, then some kind of point to point DSL setup, eg the Zyxel P-841C.... you might have some luck with that

Yeah, so we can go back to the early 1990s, when the vulnerabilities existed, US-CERT knew of them, a few hackers know of them, the system admins don't and the software devs do nothing to patch them

in this new world full connectivity is required not any more than a dedicated FedEx airplane from every city to every other city.
No.
You still need to be as "fully connected" as you'd ever be, with IPv6, or IPv4 with NAT. The connections STILL PHYSICALLY EXIST. The only difference is what kind of data is sent over those ports... there's no real reason for any scarcity, save for an arbitrary technical decision made in the early days of the TCP/IP Protocol
A better analogy would be, because humanity hypothetically ran out of unique postal addresses, everyone in the city shares the same address (name, address, everything), and the postman decides where to deliver the letter based on a the number of small cuts in the side. Wouldn't it make more sense to add more fields to the address, say, a ZIP code?
This is, in effect what IPv6 is doing. Adding more data to the address.

No.
The address is stored in the header in binary

nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn is just a representation of this.
An IPv6 Address it just a lot more binary

Because the IP is only data in the packet header, and it's scarity is artificial, purely as a result of a design decision made in the late 1970s?
And NAT breaks things.

MAME Ported To the Dingoo A320 44
Busshy writes "Slaanesh has released a port of MAME for the Dingoo A320 (the console that comes with GBA, SNES, CPS1 and Megadrive emulators built-in), with support for thousands of old arcade games. You will have to install Dingoo Linux to be able to use MAME on the Dingoo. Some tutorial videos are available."
Making a Child Locating System 1092
celtic_hackr writes "Well, I never thought I'd be an advocate for placing GPS devices on people. However, since it took less than three days for my local school district to misplace my daughter, I have decided that something needs to be done. By the school district's own admission it has a recurring problem of placing children on the wrong buses. Fortunately, my daughter was located, with no thanks to the local school district. Therefore, I would like input on a way to be able to keep track of my child. I know there are personal tracking devices out there. I have nothing against these systems. But I want more than this. My specification are: 1) a small unobtrusive device I can place on my daughter, 2) an application to pull up on any computer, a map with a dot indicating the real-time position of my child, 3) a handheld device with the equivalent information, 4) [optional] a secure web application/plug-in I can install on my own domain allowing me to track her from anyplace in the world, 5) a means of turning it all off, 6) a Linux based solution of the above. I believe all the pieces for making such a system are out there. Has anyone built anything like this? Is there an open source solution? How would I go about building my own? Has anyone hacked any of these personal trackers before, to serve their own purposes? How does a tinfoil hat wearer engineer such a device to make sure Big-Brother isn't watching too? Can these devices be locked down so only certain devices can pick up the GPS location of an individual locator? What other recommendations do you have?"

Bullshit. In all the sparky-run data installs i've seen, even if the install was up to standard, the experience-only stuff has been a bit deficient (eg quoting a cheap wall frame when a cabinet would have really been a good idea).
