yeah, I too thought the EU was the land of (regulation) milk and honey yet in Germany you have Deutsche Telekom and those that resell Deutsche Telekom with non-performance related value adds.

funny how the blau.de "3.5G" connection is wildly faster and less latent than the cable modem connection. actually it's kinda sad: 5GB for €10/month?

I'm not sure what constitutes progress, but in my experience OpenBSD has been doing this since 3.3 (when I started using it regularly)

having seen the price increases as a user over the past four years, I can't imagine them shutting down for any reason. they should be sleeping on a bed of cash (I hope)

some folks much smarter than I thought it best to proverbially take it out back and shoot it. if you're not familiar with it already, the left overs are called LibreSSL.

what people seem to gloss over is he/they had good friends at Voxel (iirc) which was a growing CDN. they gave him bandwidth on the cheap in the hopes they're traffic would surge. it did, and everyone was happy.

if imageshack could have made the numbers work with a performant CDN back then, they'd have made the cut and we'd probably be talking about something else :)

how about they each chip in $10K each year for OpenSSH?

I'm sorry; I think you meant to suggest we pool our pocket change and hire a lobbying firm. A fax and email campaign is going to do what? waste toner and mailstore space?

something tells me a similar snafu made by a CS student would get "fairly rude" comments in reply by any competent instructor or advisor.

yeah, I'd be grumpy too if everyone uses your SSH implementation and can't even be arse'd to buy a friggin' CD or a t-shirt...then pooh-pooh the entire OpenBSD project, probably over that very SSH implementation.

don't let reality hurt your tender sensibilities ;)

I don't know -- why don't you try reasoning it out since you're the one lobbing the accusation. Upon a very simple review of the code change/patch, one can see this is a relatively new feature, agreed upon and passed by the publicly available IETF, implemented naively.

"Never attribute to malice that which can be adequately explained by incompetence" -- slightly-butchered quote, from someone smarter than me.

the rate should be a function of internet users/devices. ICQ (aka 1998) was a very different time in terms of total internet devices and users.

perhaps I've yet to find a sufficient answer? ;)

and one of them is returning bogus junk. why should they (the NSP) care? especially if you aren't paying them for a network service? it's not hijacking -- 4.2.2.2 isn't a public resolver and never was. it just happened to become one.

the NSA is the one installing the taps. CIA tried to do a radio tower once -- or maybe that was the FBI. anyway, when it comes to sigint, it's NSA all day every day.

does bitcoin have an intrinsic value? if so, what?

less stable than release? that's news to me. have any official wording to back that up? I'm intensely curious

all I want to say on this (to me, tiresome) topic is: if you or your company (especially if that is one and the same!!!!1) have ever used OpenSSH you should at the ABSOLUTE MINIMUM buy a damn CD. you really ought to donate a solid hundred in your local currency but if you can't, skip a couple pints this month and buy a CD.

if you use CARP or OpenBGPd and have never bought a CD, you need to buy two ;p

when I buy a service I don't expect a business partner. I'm not sure why other people do -- anyone got some good reading on this (admittedly nebulous) topic?

privacy is dead.

if you're going to do something that might raise the ire of someone sophisticated, don't do it online with your true and/or trusted persona.

now if you're complaining the waterline for "sophisticated" is getting lower...well...welcome to technology :)

the customers got something out of it too, no?

without knowing how the country is determined, how can you be exactly sure what it is? maybe many wealthy nigerians are in new york and have uber installed?

like the kind HSBC did in plain sight for over a decade with essentially zero repercussions (the fine was barely enough to break out of 'cost of doing business' territory, so please don't bother with the largest settlement in history uselessness)?

but yeah...bitcoin is bad! cuz...bad people!

what are the VISA requirements like for someone from a western country (say, the US or Canada)? If I wanted to live in Germany for a full year, is there a way to do so working independently (i.e. without a German corporation sponsoring a work VISA)?

thanks.

you can understand why "they" can't do that by doing a little reading on how those routers and switches you work with actually route IP packets.

.255 is just as valid a host address as .1 is, and being used is just that: used!

you're equating bitcoin ownership to tax evasion? you can't pay taxes in bitcoins. the only novelty that would come out of such a situation (person allegedly dodged taxes, stored the 'ill gotten gains' as bitcoins) was that a judge and/or government declares your bitcoin wallet as an asset and requires you to forfeit it. now that would be a show to watch...

congrats on reaching your deadline, but now you've shot yourself in the foot in another way by tarnishing the..."brand", for want of a better term. you can pat yourself on the back for hitting your target date without having to prematurely publicly release the whole thing.

yeah, these days any one promoting the Constitution and the values contained therein are anti-US

/s

yeah guys. let's all calm down. the status quo is just fine. this guy is just an aberration.

I just want to be absolutely clear...did you compare non-GPL licenses to slavery?
