Agreed. I work for a large company (Fortune 100), and am fortunate enough to actually have a budget to built an IPv6 lab. Unfortunately, not a single ISP can actually deliver a dual-stack circuit at this time. We've had orders in for six months and nothing has been delivered yet. Same story all around, infrastructure isn't there.
3 Drinks a Day Keeps the Doctor Away 470
Nzimmer911 writes "Heavy drinkers outlive non-drinkers according to a 20 years study following 1,824 people. From the article: 'But a new paper in the journal Alcoholism: Clinical and Experimental Research suggests that - for reasons that aren't entirely clear - abstaining from alcohol does actually tend to increase one's risk of dying even when you exclude former drinkers. The most shocking part? Abstainers' mortality rates are higher than those of heavy drinkers.'"
Developer Demands Pirate Bay Not Remove Torrent 203
An anonymous reader writes "This week TPB got a very unusual e-mail. It was a 'Notice of Ridiculous Activity' from a company that had found one of its apps cracked and listed as a torrent on TPB. The app in question is called Memoires, developed by Coding Robots. Memoires is marketed as the easiest way to keep a journal on your Mac. It costs $29.99 to buy after you've enjoyed a 30-day free trial. That, of course, didn't stop someone from cracking the software and making it available for free as a torrent. Dmitry Chestnykh, founder of Coding Robots, noticed the cracked torrent and decided to download it to see what had been done. After using it, he was upset — not because the cracked version was available, but because the cracker (named Minamoto) had done such a bad job of cracking it. The best section of the e-mail has to be this: 'I demand that you don't remove this torrent, so that people can laugh at Minamoto and CORE skills. However, I also demand the[sic] better crack to be made, so that it doesn't cripple the user experience of my beautiful program.'"

Agreed.
For the same general size/weight, an electric motor usually *outperforms* a gas motor.
The problem is the energy source. Gasoline has more energy potential, per size/weight, than battery at this time.
