I hear they say it's embarrassing to have a technology-related web site without IPv6 in 2016:

potomac:~ carlos$ host slashdot.org
slashdot.org has address 216.34.181.45
slashdot.org mail is handled by 10 mx.sourceforge.net.
potomac:~ carlos$ host www.slashdot.org
www.slashdot.org has address 216.34.181.48
potomac:~ carlos$

Where are your quad-A records ?

I find it rather amusing that the responses here can be broadly classified into two groups:

- A group that idealizes China for their dedication to hard work and education. The two are very positive traits for any society. However, this group tends to ignore the rest of what is very wrong with China these days. Not only pollution, but the whole lack of basic freedoms issue.

- The group that while seeing the problems with China tend to ignore what may be good things in China and thinks that the U.S. is going the fascist way. For this group I have a few words: Do you get your fat asses out of bed on election day and vote? Or are you just too lazy for that? If you dont vote you must stop complaining. And don't give me the s***t about not voting because you don't believe in the "system".

Cheers!

If you have been following Argentinian politics, this supposed "defense of competition" is BS. This is just a political vendetta. If they were really, really operating as a good telecom regulator they would force them to sell a majority share of the company or something like that instead of this insanity of forcing a 1.5 million subscriber ISP to just close down.
The stupidity, selfishness and sheer short sightedness of the Argentinian governing elite is just mind blowing.
I'm from Uruguay. In times like this I just thank the River Plate for existing and 19th century British diplomats for forcing us to become an independent, separate country.

More appropiately, they should appear as KIT (killed in transit) :-)
