"Expecting everyone to have IPv6 connectivity sorted out throughout the enterprise network before June 8th is ludicrous..." It's 2011. What's ludicrous is enterprise desktops with broken dual-stack support. If IPv6 day weren't happening, r

I'll pick on at&t uverse since that's what I've got, and since they're the latest to join the transfer cap party. Those grandmas are not paying $65/mo for the top service tier. They are paying $35/mo for 3Mbit/s lowest-tier uverse serv

As do I. Throttling per user (as in per customer port) rather than per traffic stream (the latter can cause net neutrality issues) is obviously a superior technological solution. Traffic caps and overage charges do nothing to prevent peop

Verizon did something interesting with their wireless network: they track heavy bandwidth users and throttle them during peak traffic periods. [1] That seems like a more reasonable option than hard traffic caps. It's no surprise more wired

Are you in a major city or a more outlying area? Is that a wired, or wireless, connection? Even wired access could have wireless backhaul... assuming yours is wired, is that the reason for the slowness, or have they really been mad at wor

From 9:07 to 20:43, the status updates were generic and not very helpful in answering two questions customers want to know: 1. What exactly is going on? 2. When will it be fixed? In the middle of a crisis, saying "we're aware of the problem

MySQL already has three maintained patchsets or complete forks, and there's no reason to believe any of them would die if Oracle stopped open sourcing MySQL tomorrow. Percona Server and MariaDB are drop-in compatible, while Drizzle went in

Nice, but can you normalize the height of the command-name strips? They can range from 17-19px (before +4 padding) in height, depending on the local font setup I suspect. Cumulatively that's enough of a difference so that in an unusual ca

How are biofuels viable as a replacement for oil in the quantities our current lifestyle demands? They can't be produced in the same quantities that oil can be, and producing them requires farmland, so food prices go up. stats and graphs:

Since most reactions do not end up with all the constituent atoms as free ions, the real question is how the sum of bond energies of the reaction product(s) compares to the sum of bond energies of the starting molecule(s). In the case of wa
