6/2     Are you having trouble with Comcast?  Some sites connect fine but
        others show 50% packet loss, but the iPs keep changing and are weird
        (eg, OK to berkeley machine 1, but not to machine 2), please
        contact me, -nweaver

        \_ I'm in San Mateo, and I have been seeing daily outage during the
           peak hours of later afternoon to evening.  Total outage for me
           though, not limited to hopping addresses as you.  Your behavior
           is *bizarre*.
        \_ you deserve what you get paying for a service from a bloated,
           corrupt assmaster company like comcast.
           \_ Yeah and there's better huh?  Like AT&T or Pacbell or yeah.
              \_ Don't be mocking our free market!  If people wanted
                 reliable internet service, the free market says that
                 someone will step in to fulfill that demand.  Obviously
                 people only want crappy service.
            \_ i've only noticed my dsl connection with speakeasy
                being down once in about a year, and they warned me
                about that one in advance. -crebbs
                 \_ do you understand the huge barrier to entry ?  The telcos
                    and cable co's have pretty much shut everyone else out.
                    \_ This is sort of the person's point.  The free market
                       proselytizors (on the supply side, mostly) rarely will
                       mention barrier to entry.  Yet somehow, even in these
                       difficult to enter markets, we still get massive pushes
                       for deregulation.  It's the big lie of the free market.
                       See any clear discussion on campaign finance reform
                       for more.
                       \_ it isn't a free market.  it's massively regulated.
                          competitors *aren't allowed* to enter the markets
                          by law.  thank you for playing.
            \_ i've only noticed my dsl connection with speakeasy being
               down once in about a year, and they warned me about that one
               in advance. (though i have a business idsl line, maybe those
               are better)  -crebbs

4/02    We use Perforce at work for revision control. It seems to work okay.
        Lately, a lot of the newer developers are saying that Perforce
        sucks and we should switch to Mercurial or Git. I have done some
        searching on the Internet and some others have this opinion. Added
        advantage is that Mercurial and Git are free. However, there would
        be some work to switch for the sysadmins and the developers.

4/26    I see that soda has an ipv6 address but ipv6 traffic from this box
        doesn't actually work (ping6 <DEAD>ipv6.google.com<DEAD>, ping6 http://www.v6.facebook.com
        Is this expected to work?
        \_ Soda doesn't have a real IPv6 address.  The IPv6 addresses you see
           in ifconfig are just link-local addresses; any IPv6-capable machine
           will autogenerate these, whether or not it's connected to an IPv6
