They investigate all the time, but almost without exception* they take no action.
*There have been some notable exceptions in the past, but nothing I know of in the last 10 years.
I'm guess you've never actually used Pascal before? (either that or you've never used C).
There are some glaring superficial differences between Pascal and C, and thats about it. I've converted 1000s of lines of Pascal to C with very little effort, the structure can stay _exactly_ the same, just fix the blocks and do some standard find/replace. Try converting BASIC to Pascal or C and get back to me.
Background is similar to GP, learned everything in Pascal, including the old school Mac Toolbox (all Pascal), then one day everything new had to be C, you had to figure it out yourself. Not a big deal though- very similar...
There are some clients that cache dns records until they're restarted. I've removed internet facing vips from dns and weeks later there are still 100+ clients making connections, the only thing that would stop them is a client restart.
I know- not the main argument here, but:
satellite internet != broadband
its marginally better than dialup for a couple of very select things.
Is it the IT departments responsibility to debug software?
Where I work? Yes.
That has been part of railroad design for over a century.
That explains why there have been 0 train collisions in the west for almost a hundred years!
Bullshit- They're charging what the market will bear. They always have, its never (fixed cost) + markup. Thats fine, but they've over stepped this time, and they just lost part of their market, we'll see if its enough to have an impact.
Read your link!? I can't even read the anchor!
We obviously need to separate the driver from the passengers too- conversations with passengers is probably responsible for 60% of the other wrecks.
Presumably your users don't have internet access then?
Can you send me: current employer, your residences for the last 10 years, your home and/or cell number, all currently used email addresses (plus password! the FB special), photos of you and friends, vacation schedule, where you like to eat/shop, your sexual preferences and anything else I missed... Thanks!
Getting your clients sued for 100 times their net worth is very, very, very bad for business.
Tell that to the RIAA...
They get lost driving around...
Small, but growing. There will soon be economic pressure for v4 addresses, and it won't take too many people moving to v6 make it worthwhile to maintain dual stack servers.
First hand experience on this one- if you're already using best practices for web hosting, adding v6 addresses is stupid easy, and requires no re-work to your backend. Why _wouldn't_ you add v6, even to capture (or keep from losing) 1% of your traffic?
Right now the reason is: horribly misconfigured dual stack clients will fail when accessing dual stacked servers. Thats what v6 day is for, with most of the large web sites going dual stack for 24 hours, hopefully most of those issues will be brought to the surface. Once people like google see that lost misconfigured dual stack traffic is equal to incoming v6 traffic, they'll switch to dual stack permanently, and the transition will officially begin.
