yeah, people fell hook line and sinker for put 'your everything on the cloud'. Now if someone doesn't like the way you think, all the things you 'purchased' can be blocked'. all 'your' photos, gone.

Me thinking about 2006, digg.com was something I went to every day. Found it more entertaining than slashdot. craigslist was something I used a lot, finding dates, things to buy, a place to rent. for downloading stuff, if I recall I used ka

I guess I feel old because tumbler feels like one of the 'newer' sites, as it came out about 2007 - when the great migration to facebook started. to me, 'early days' means 1995-2005

NAT means we can work with IPv4 already and makes IPv6 moot. you just supported my argument. Honestly, all they had to do was add alpha characters. Just doing so would have gave us more IP addresses than we ever needed while keeping it huma

ipv6 is such a failure. even if it eventually 'takes over', its still a failure. Its over engineered for something customers didnt ask for (an ip address for every grain of sand in the universe). There's something to be said

as I mentioned above, the idea that 'well if they got that far you already lost' comes off as video game logic. You don't have a reset button or save point to go back to, you die. So even if it gives you ridiculously thin odd
