Why not call it "meat"? - That's exactly what it is. Veggies/vegans still won't eat it as it originally came from an animal (many cell generations before), so the only real difference is its environmental credentials. If they really really want to call it something else, how's about enviro-meat, or e-meat?

There is exactly the same amount of sun in summer regardless of whether the clocks are put forward, backwards or left exactly the same.

Altitude Adjusted Lachrymosity Syndrome. It's a thing. First mentioned on the BBC's premier film programme (http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b00lvdrj/episodes/downloads) and detailed in their Witterpedia, http://witterpedia.net/wiki/index.php?title=AALS.

It doesn't matter that they're cheaper to produce. All this will mean is greater profit margins for somebody in the chain.

As a consumer, if you're offered traditional tiles at £x per square metre or solar tiles that'll generate electricity at £(x+y) per square metre, the fact is that if 'y' isn't too great, you'll go with those.

Now if he could saturate the market, it may well end up being cheaper for the end user, but I'd lay odds on there's no way he'd manage to manufacture a fraction of the demand...

A VPN is a tunnelling service. A tunnelling service is not necessarily a VPN.

So the IPv4 packets that originate from my ISP in London can be geolocated whilst the IPv6 packets that originate from HE in London cannot? What twaddle. In HE's case, they have a large chunk of IPv6 addresses which are dished out to people connecting to their London endpoint which are incorrectly geo-located in California. I think what you are trying to say is "HE users can connect to any of HE's endpoints worldwide and therefore there is no guarantee that a HE address appearing to originate in country X is actually being used by somebody in country X".

Well that's OK then.

Quarkoid.

HE do not provide VPNs - it's a tunnelling service. There is a difference.

Did you not read the article? "while users on ISPs that provide native IPv6 are also facing difficulty connecting and watching shows"

I use a HE tunnel for day-to-day IPv6 connectivity (since my ISP, TalkTalk Business has no plans for IPv6 implementation[1]). Despite the fact that I connect to HE's UK endpoint and a traceroute shows traffic originating in the UK, Netflix's geo-loc database shows I'm coming from California. I have no particular desire to watch Netflix/US - quite happy with Netflix/UK, but in one fell swoop they've stopped me watching it at all.

Their "solution"? Disable IPv6. Not possible? Then this is what they suggest[2]:

Quite what they think my ISP can do about it, I don't know.

I have absolutely no problem with Netflix geo-locking their content... as long as their geo-location database is accurate.

If IPv6 is such a problem for Netflix, then as somebody else has said, remove the AAAA records - at least I can continue watching it then. As it stands, I'm paying £7 a month for sod-all.

Gah.

Quarkoid.

[1] They stated "we have enough IPv4 addresses, so we have no need to move to IPv6", entirely missing the point about how the Internet works, but that's a different story!

[2] Part of a three-quarter hour on-line chat in which I try to tell them that they are denying me access because they have incorrect geo-loc information.

Spoofed DDOS attacks wouldn't be a problem if the users' ISPs implemented source address filtering.

Come to think of it, an awful lot of the Internet's problems would be resolved by ISPs implementing source address filtering.

It would be nice if Slashdot itself was available on IPv6... After all, you would have thought that a site reporting on the latest and greatest in tech would have managed to adopt a technology fifteen years old by now!

It seems obvious to me that the TSA knew the machines didn't work effectively, but that this didn't matter to them. Airport security isn't about making the skies safer, it's about scaring (some would even say terrorising) the public in order to give the government more power and control. In his video he even says that there was no threat with the old metal detectors...

There are so many ways one could commit an act of terrorism at an airport without getting on a plane if one were so inclined (I'm not, by the way!) and every time I fly I see more. The full body scanners do nothing to increase a person's safety.

Let's face it - the terrorists have won. The public are terrified. Sadly it's their own governments which have done the terrorising.

Outside of the UK though, they're not cheap!

Personally, I subscribe to the UK edition of Wired (even SWMBO likes it, which is saying something) and Private Eye (http://www.private-eye.co.uk/) as well as some camping/caravanning mags (yes, I'm an old fart with a family now). I used to get Computer Shopper (www.computershopper.co.uk) and PC Pro (www.pcpro.co.uk) but realised that by the time I'd received the magazine, I'd already read about the stories/reviews on-line two weeks before the magazine landed on my mat.

In my experience, cover disks are full of crapware and old versions of software (on the basis that you'll use that and then pay to upgrade to the latest version) - they always went straight in the bin.

No, it's credit card sized. How many times do you need to be told?

(ignore the border - that's removed after manufacture).

Not sure what you're saying here - looks to me like the majority of people said they weren't on drugs.

The logical conclusion to this data is that not being on drugs should be outlawed, no?

And my grandfather smoked 40 a day and lived till he was 97. That doesn't mean smoking's good for you.

Whilst I have every sympathy with your situation, there are exceptions to every rule and quoting one case as evidence against a general theory serves nobody well.
