"It's not like you _have_ to use IP multicast to solve certain classes of broadcasting problems" Then why did NATO get their own dedicated lines to multicast on? Why don't they run their 100,000 simultaneous user systems without multicast a

Not much is 'technically impossible' when it comes to businesses and software these days. Try doing IP multicast on the public Internet. What, you can't, because the ISPs have disabled it? Next time try not talking out of your ass.

You have your facts wrong . Firstly, there were German and Japanese spies , but there was basically nobody on the Allied side who thought it was whistleblowing to leak secrets to Hitler. Unlike the case of the Soviet Union, which the Ma

"these more extreme forms of discrimination" Oh kiss my ass. In those days the men worked, and the women stayed home to take care of the children. It's not like the returning soldiers could marry employed women and then be house-husbands.
