IPv6 day is more than just larger internet addresses, says Verisign

"Today is the day that the internet community has to stop running away from IPv6, with some of the largest websites and content distribution networks switching over to IPv6 for 24 hours."

"Danny McPherson, chief security officer at Verisign told The INQUIRER, "In general, the community is much more aware of the issue of IPv4 exhaustion and the implications on IPv6 preparedness. As the RIRs begin to exhaust their remaining IPv4 allocations, in very short order the pain will become much more evident." In many ways IANA announcing the allocation of the final IPv4 blocks was a watershed moment for IPv6 deployment, making companies realise that the need to migrate to IPv6 is far closer than it has ever been before.

Anthony Weiner: I will work hard to win back their trust and try to persuade them

"It was a very hurtful thing to do," he said. "If you're looking for some kind of deep explanation for this, I simply don't have one."

"It was a dumb thing to do to tell lies about it, because it just led to more lies,"

"I will work hard to win back their trust and try to persuade them," he said. "I have worked very hard for my constituents … Nothing about this should reflect on my official duties or on my oath of office … I certainly used bad judgment here."

DNA computer 'calculates square roots'

"Those circuits were smaller [than those of the current work], but more importantly, they were built using more complex DNA molecules that made systems more difficult to debug and had other problems," Professor Winfree told BBC News.

"We are no longer pursuing the goal targeted by Len Adleman's original DNA computing experiment: to compete with silicon by using the massive parallelism of chemistry to solve combinatorial problems in mathematics," he explained


"Instead, our goal is now - and has been for many years - to enrich chemistry itself so that molecular behaviours can be programmed.

"We'd like to make chemical systems that can probe their molecular environments, process chemical signals, make decisions, and take actions at the chemical level."

Jose Mourinho: I'm nobody

I don't make those decisions. If the club want to do something, I'm nobody. We all agree on Higuain and Benzema: we want to keep them."
"I have no more power than I had before. 'Madrid are looking for a new model within the organisation. Having a good structure [at the club] is not a guarantee of success, but a bad structure that is not suited to the modern game - that is a guarantee of failure. We must modernise and aim for perfection.
''I will still only be a coach and nothing more. With Valdano, there was nothing personal. I wish him all the best."

Mladic tells judges was defending people, country

"Mladic's arraignment was his first public appearance since he went into hiding nearly 16 years ago. Wearing a gray suit, tie and cap, he stood looking bullish between two guards, who each held one of his arms to support him, as the hearing started. He took off the cap when he sat down to reveal a nearly bald head.
He spoke slowly — his stare as steely as during the war when he was the strutting leader of the Bosnian Serb army — and appeared to understand the proceedings clearly."

Favicon games in 16x16px - Big fun in small space

"Like Defender of the favicon, the games are rendered using a 16×16 pixels canvas and each frame is exported as a 32bits PNG image and the link tag of the favicon is replaced. Unfortunately only Opera and Firefox have the subtle combination of capabilities that make this feat possible."
