Yes, they ignore the fact that those un-immunized 15% gave a nice reservoir for the illness to mutate and develop stronger strains, like illnesses do. And lets not bring in the fact that most Americans have piss poor immune systems to begin with, and the shots just make one facet stronger, not invincible.

Silly, and amusing, but possible. :)

Very valid. There is a /8 assigned to packet radio operation... Not common, and not often connected to the actual Internet anymore. Oh, and not paid for at all.

I am with you here. Especially that nasty NAT abomination in 2Wire routers "DMZ Plus Mode."

Never heard that one...

That is how IPv6 came about. But then again, look how it turned out...

Very valid point. Especially when your ISP DNS craps out and you can actually remember 4.2.2.2 or 8.8.8.8 or 198.6.1.1 without the Internet to look it up.

Huh?

At least enough to fill that last class c... :)

I would not be surprised if the packet radio /8 goes away at some point.

I suspect that soon after we really run out of addresses, someone will release 5 octet IPv4.

So after years of panic, someone finally ran out of IPs. No, wait a minute... They still didn't.

And if you have perscription lenses in your Google glas, when they make you take it off, you see... Well... Some of the movie... Kinda...

If you have ammunition, you can get food.

Keep waiting. That panel resolution is not popular enough to be continued. 4k will take it over.

Ran both Windows 7 and Ubuntu on a Seiki 4k with no problem. (Well, other than finding a video card that supported it at a reasonable price...)

The problem is bandwidth. How do you get all that data down the wire? The original Korean high def 2550s used Dual DVI, essentially 2 cables. This worked, but was poorly supported. The Seiki 4k is HDMI 1.4, so it is stuck at 30hz. To get 60hz, you need HDMI 2.0, and that is far from common right now. Then you start looking at bus speeds... 4k 120hz is a LOT of data.

You lost that battle years ago. Once widescreen laptops took over, it was decided by the LCD manufactures that no one needed more than 1080p anymore. That is why I am on an "antique" 24in Dell Ultrasharp.

This is what you use to create it. As a monitor, content generation and video editing station, it rocks. And without a cheap way to create content, how would it be created?

It doesn't help. Just ask Kim Dotcom about Megaupload... Right now, none of the Internet is "free" and it will take some major changes to make it so.

It seems like most of the new and interesting things being attempted on the net these days are stopped by legislation or lawsuits from vested interests, not by any technical problem. This has bit you twice in two VASTLY different businesses. What is you opinion on this, and what can we do about it?
