The Google employees involved in this Getting Kenyan Businesses Online project were probably just thinking about their precious bonuses when they chose to lie about Google's relationship with Mocality. The employees caught lying on tape will be fired and any employees who don't pretend to know nothing about this will be fired also. Google has a brand to nurture and so they'll be appropriately apologetic as they always are when they cross boundaries in their pursuit of corporate domination.
However, the Mocality blog moans about how Google manually scraped their database; this is legal as pointed out in an earlier comment.
The blog's claim that Google is offering competing services isn't even accurate because all Mocality does is list websites, not host them... so what does Mocality expect to win from Google?
Skype enjoys its large user base in part due to the way that it penetrates firewalls with port randomization... Also, Skype uses strong encryption for its transmissions. I'd argue that Skype deserves its reputation and user base.
start turning off the IPv4 stuff, because there's no benefit to it.
IP v 4 is 32 bit, and its dotted-quad notation is arguably more human-readable than IP v 6 (128 bit hex). Anything that is NAT'd will remain IP v 4...
PC gaming is limited because it's so damn open you cant assume anything and have to build for the broadest possible configurations.
Perspective is everything, I guess. I see open configs as the future of computing, and "walled gardens" as nothing more than companies' business models to sell their overpriced products. Of course this is a generalization, and I really would like to go into a DRM discussion at this point... but taht's not necessary.
I have heard legend of my company's old IT manager. He walked in one day and asked, "Ed, how many servers do we have?" Ed thought a moment, counted the physical servers in addition to the virtual servers, tried to come up with a number and ballparked, "Twenty or so." the manager replied, "That's too many."
the hilarious part is that the manager had no idea what a "server" was. I mean, literally no idea. The parent post reminded me of that story.
It's a naive, domestic operating system without any breeding, but I think you'll be amused by its presumption.
