These have been predicted for ages, now they're finally coming out.

From the earlier comments it sounds like a lot of people don't see the point... well, a considerable amount of people want 4k for work/text clarity, and high refresh for gaming, and additionally don't want/like the current crop of 32" monitors due to size or "seeing pixels" (pixel density too low) Many consider 24"-27" the sweet spot for action gaming since you can see the whole screen at once, with 32" being a little too big.

So few understand that. Wish I had mod points. If this were reddit I'd go buy an award to give you. A++ to you for quoting Sowell!

100% this ^

The people who had addressing problems have switched, the rest of us who are "doing just fine" with IPV4 have no incentive to put up with the extra complexity.

Here's the link to the 2024 win: https://ancillary-proxy.atarimworker.io?url=https%3A%2F%2Fmaa.org%2Fnews%2Fusa-first... [maa.org]

tfa is to the 2015 win.

So Mozilla/FF can do what all the congresspeople do: game the system

A few vm's running FF browsing various US govt sites 24x7 and they're back above the threshold.

OK... low user id. NOW it's 2003. :D

And yeah, /. staff is really into the baity headlines. Calling it "globally recognized" is false.

No they have gotten worse.

My office had a Comcast Business plan and needed faster upload (it was capped at 25 Mbps) but they wouldn't sell us anything faster, so we had to get a different service and cancel Comcast. Tried to cancel online, but you have to call.

Main call center wanted us to deal with a business sales rep, but he wouldn't help cancel, so I called the number on the bill and said cancel, that rep claimed the retention dept was closed for the day and call back tomorrow... called back the next day and oh, sorry, no one in retention is available (it was mid-afternoon, no claiming they're closed) Had it out with that rep who finally said they'd submit a request to cancel and send a label to mail back the modem.

Of course they didn't actually cancel and no label came. I stopped the autopay right after that call and they took 3 mos to terminate for nonpayment. Collections notices started a month later. Mentioned it to the company lawyer who said it's all invalid because we cancelled, not to pay, and wait to see what they do, chances are nothing happens.

Other articles say it was a dozen rigs and that he used about $17.5k of electricity. This is hardly newsworthy. A stolen car is worth more. And they used CGIS for it? I bet the govt wasted more money investigating and charging the guy than he earned from his little farm.

And claiming it won't be shared, when the feds can just show up with a national security letter.

Counting coins that moved on a certain date as acquired for cash on that date is moronic. Giving play to articles like this is just feeding traffic to clickbaiters. Oh wait, looking at the ads at the bottom of the page, that's what slashdot is now. Pathetic.

Sounds like a solution to rising sea levels - just move all that water inland! /s

Next they'll say Tuvalu and coastal states should pay for the pipeline.

Zoho is very good. I've been using their free version for a family domain for about 6 years.

I've recommended it to a couple friends over the years who wound up using the paid version for their companies and they are happy too.

More likely their lawyers reminded them they are public now and convinced them it's not worth picking a fight with the SEC... and to turn it to their advantage by using the SEC as a weapon against their competitors.

They want their stupid predictions back.

Seriously, this is like how they thought we'd have flying cars by 2000.

So dumb, not gonna happen.

ICANN is not going to prevent the sale. ICANN is the root of the problem. The board does whatever their crony friends want them to do, conveniently pointing the finger at "ICANN staff" for producing a recommendation when something is unpopular. Unless you played LAX in private school with someone on ICANN's board, ICANN might as well be Kafka's Castle.

Behind the scenes, Verisign (and it's largest shareholders e.g. Berkshire Hathaway) want to see price caps removed from .com. The best way to do that is with a test case like .org.

Registry prices for .com, .net, and .org domains have increased over the past 15 years, a time when the cost to provide registry services should have fallen. Ask yourself, what is the marginal cost of a database entry? Add to that a small amount for running the tld's nameservers and dealing with dos attacks. You'll quickly realize registry operators are overcompensated; further they are defacto monopolies and act like monopolists.
