• Commented on What would you do with a Class C IP block?
  Oh, and for a community (boingboing) that will howl wildly over minor fair use issues or net neutrality fights, you all are sounding awfully greedy. As an aside, most people suggesting he should keep them and offer this-or-that hip service...
• Commented on What would you do with a Class C IP block?
  @109 It doesn't *necessarily* work like that. If he were to give it back, it would be returned to ARIN, the organization responsible for assigning/delegating the use of IP addresses, which is a non-profit. The address space could potentially be...
• Commented on What would you do with a Class C IP block?
  @101 I suppose so, but it's irrelevant. Having a /24 no more enables you to set up a Tor node than having a single public IP. I don't know why people are harping on it. As for somehow randomizing your...
• Commented on What would you do with a Class C IP block?
  @66 There are no serious technical hurdles remaining with ipv6. It works just peachy. The problem is that with the spread of functional NAT implementations and the rationing of remaining ipv4 addresses, there wasn't, and still isn't, much financial incentive...

• Commented on What would you do with a Class C IP block?
  Sorry, that sounded snarky. No, giving it back wouldn't be creative the creative thing to do, but it would be the responsible thing. ARIN is doing a respectable job of rationing the remaining IPv4 space. Now if only we could...
• Commented on What would you do with a Class C IP block?
  Give it back. IP hoarding is what has, in part, gotten us into the IP-space mess that we're currently in....
• Commented on Radley Balko on NY Times photo: " I can’t really conceive of a scenario where it wasn’t staged."
  Ahh, youth. Stupid? Yes. Dangerously reckless? Probably not. I did this as a kid, but it was usually to facilitate taking a bong hit. I still do it as an adult when driving on the freeway if I need to...
• Commented on "No excess on the outside" for Sony's $1,000 iPod Dock
  This is entirely backwards. Buy a receiver and two decent speakers. Use the leftover money to build a media PC and use your Touch/iPhone to control it all remotely. Bonus: You won't look like a pretentious douchebag in the end....
• Commented on LA's vegan restaurants are full of egg
  Oh the humanity. If you're that fastidious about your food intake, prepare it yourself. I'm not a big fan of rat feces but I live with the fact that food I buy from my local grocer may contain a bit...
