Comment I am totally fine with Control-Alt-Delete (Score 1) 320

I have had to deal with a reset button above the enter key on apple II+. Something also existed on a TRS 80 models. No a single button is a disaster. Maybe perhaps control reset like later apple II models or something. I have had problems with my cat turning my laptops airplane mode until I toggle it in bios.

Without NAT things are pain in the ass. NAT helps with load balancing. NAT avoids the renumbering problem. Now tell me. Lets say you have a 10000 devices in an organization, and if you moved to another provider you would have to renumber every single device. DHCPv6 helps, but... expect many calls to the help desk. The day your organization has to renumber Simulation. There should be blackhole addresses. For instructional purposes. The 10.x.x.x makes it easy for course work to be uniform when people are learning. And NAT makes it routable. Subnet's. What if you ISP is an a$$ and only gives you a /64. It makes to be a real bitch as far subneting shit.

Submission + - Birth control for men edges closer (nature.com)

ananyo writes: "Developing oral contraceptives for men has not gone as swiftly as researchers imagined in the early 1970s, who suggested at the time that a 'male pill' was not far off. But researchers now report a new way to make male mice temporarily infertile. Although the treatment is not ready for human use, the method avoids some of the pitfalls of earlier attempts.
The technique appears to have a much more specific action than previous methods: it impairs sperm production by blocking a protein called BRDT. This protein was singled out as a potential therapeutic target five years ago because it only occurs in the testes, where it is required for the division of sperm cells. If the approach proves safe in humans, it would be an improvement over hormone-based methods of male contraception, which are not completely effective and cause side effects such as mood swings, acne and a loss of libido (abstract).
On the downside, however, the compound "shrank the mice's testes"."

Make subnet the schools machines on unroutable. Setup a squid http://www.squid-cache./ proxy and use http://www.squidguard.org/ http://www.squid-cache.org/. Point all machines at the squid cache. It is how my friend got threw teen years with his kids. The easier approach: K9 Web Protection - Free Internet Filter and Parental Control ... www.k9webprotection.com/ is another interesting choice. Still a lot of arguments are correct, sometimes it isn't worth trying to sanitize things, better to try to learn about them.

It is the case that life will find a way of adjusting the temperature accordingly, like in the daisyworld model http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daisyworld I had an idea that would be cheep and less expensive, detonte some explosives at key Volcano's to cause an erruption. Do it in the ring of fire to not effect populated areas. Erruptions have been known to cool the planet. Like Pinatubo http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mount_Pinatubo http://vulcan.wr.usgs.gov/Glossary/VolcWeather/des cription_volcanoes_and_weather.html There might be some problematic issues with regard to ozone, but it would keep things cooler :-)
