I can't count the number of time I had to explain, implement or do something with Conway's game of life (either while teaching or interviewing or just even discussing it with friends and colleagues). This is anchored in every software developer's mind and is what we call a classic. Conway was one of the giants on which shoulder's we built our carrer.

Same here. This started about 5 days ago. Spent 2 hours on chat with Netflix support to get to the bottom of it. I'm on a business connection and need IPv6, and the kids need Netflix (or the parents need the kids to have Netflix). They should allow users to register IPv6 /48 or /56 or /64 (depending on what you get from he.net). I'm using he.net for all my ipv6 as my ISP is not able to provide static IPv6 (only dynamic for business customer for now). So I got caught in the battle.

I can do 100Mbps full speed with a cisco 2801 through NAT. Sure it's not cheap (average eBay price is around $500), but you get what you pay for. In addition to being able to push the 100Mbps you need you get all the extra feature of IOS (IPSec tunnels, IDS, SNMP management, QoS, ...) R.

BluWiki Seeks iPodHash Author, Hopes for Help From EFF 77

Posted by timothy on Saturday November 22, 2008 @09:27PM from the have-you-seen-this-guy? dept.

Sam Odio, who runs the BluWiki mentioned the other day as host of the iPodHash project, has posted a followup on the legal tussle in which Apple has engaged the iPodHash project for attempting to reverse-engineer the hash used to encrypt the iTunesDB in recent iPods. He writes in that post: "I've received a flood of emails from interested individuals who want to help. Most importantly, I was contacted by Fred von Lohmann from the EFF. They're currently evaluating whether they will represent us against any potential Apple litigation. This would be great, because it will enable BluWiki to continue to host the project while working with EFF to address Apple's concerns. However, before the EFF commits to representing us against Apple, they want to speak to the author of the [iPodHash] project. I'm posting this public plea hoping that the author, or someone who knows the author, might read it." Update: 11/23 04:25 GMT by T : Due to a shortage of brain cells, I flipped the actors here as this post was originally rendered: To be clear, Sam Odio of BluWiki is seeking the person behind the iPodHash project, not the other way around. Mea culpa.
