Google Over IPv6 Coming Soon 264

Posted by CmdrTaco on Thursday January 08, 2009 @10:29AM from the what-no-ipv5 dept.

fuzzel writes "Today Google announced Google over IPv6 where ISPs can sign up their DNS nameservers so that their users will get access to an almost fully IPv6-enabled Google, including http://www.google.com, images and maps, etc., just like in IPv4. Without this only http://ipv6.google.com is available, but then you go to IPv4 for most services. So, start kicking your ISPs to support IPv6 too, and let them sign up. Check this list of ISPs that already do native IPv6 to your doorstep. The question that now remains is: when will Slashdot follow?"

Ted "A Series of Tubes" Stevens Found Guilty 565

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on Monday October 27, 2008 @05:18PM from the now-a-series-of-cells dept.

techmuse writes "According to a series of tubes sites, Senator Ted Stevens has been found guilty of lying about free home renovations that he received from an oil contractor. He faces up to 5 years in jail, and the outcome of his current reelection bid is now in doubt. 'The conviction came after a tumultuous week in the jury room. First there were complaints about an unruly juror, then another had to be replaced when she left Washington following the death of her father. Finally, jurors on Monday discovered a discrepancy in the indictment that had been overlooked by prosecutors. Jury deliberations in this historic trial have at times been as contentious as some of the proceedings The Justice Department indicted Stevens on July 29, and the Alaska Republican took a huge legal gamble and asked for a speedy trial in order to resolve the charges before Election Day. Judge Emmet Sullivan complied with Stevens' request, and in less than three months from the time of his indictment, Stevens was found guilty.'"

But you're sentiment is correct. Edison never really believed in AC power.

Edison was a nuts. If he wasn't so busy electrocuting elephants with AC he might have gotten away with that "distributed generation" shiite. ;)

I'm surprised they use Evolution, I think Mozilla is better, and does Evolution have spam-filtering?

They use Evolution because it interoperates with Microsoft Exchange Server and has an Outlook look and feel to it.

Journal Journal: Response on the "Libertarian" debate

Journal by ericman31 on Monday September 29, 2003 @11:58AM

Libertarianism and what is being called liberalism by some is not the same thing. There is a movement afoot by what, in the past, was called socialism. Now it is disguised as liberalism, but it is the same thing. Government intervention to create an ideal society. Libertarianism (and anarchy) says that creation of a free society requires the least government intervention possible, or, preferably, none.

Isn't it funny how:

How if we do something in the U.S. a bit differently from how it's done somewhere else in the world (especially Europe) we in the U.S. are "doing it wrong"?
How the fact that data centers are still dominated by Unix and RISC is because of the "hegemony of Sun"?
Wintel dominance of small-medium business and desktop computing is because their technology is "new and improved" NOT because Microsoft is a monopoly?
