No other word for it. Stupid Americans.
How on earth do you think of assigning a patent to Microsoft for something which was invented around the time that Bill Gates crawled out of his mother?

Microsoft Patents Sudo?!!
The patent

Sadly, Scott Anguish decided to pull out the plug of Stepwise. This site was for me the place to be in the early OS X days. Scott was one of the first to provide details on setting up *nix tools on OS X. Since 2004 or smth, the site slowly died. But I still visited stepwise daily to check the collection of news bits from Scott his rss feed. Always good for developer-related news items main sites missed.
Scott has his own blog at http://www.abandoninplace.com/, but it misses the nice selection of developerfeeds.

Since 2001 (www.hal2001.org) I am very well aware that there is something called IPv6. And very well aware that the pool of IPv4 adresses is running out. When giving courses to new helpdesk personal at a large ISP in the Netherlands, I always warned them that IPv4 will have it’s limits…and we really need to prepare ourselves for IPv6. Well… to be honest…even myself was thinking the last years: well…right…let’s see.

But more and more reports (stories) are popping up in the blogosphere and techsites. IPv4 is running out! yes! IPv6 does suck! (serious design flaws do exist) And the worst, a lot of firmware/embedded software, often not upgradable by users, doesn’t support IPv6.

Ars Technica however has recently published a nice article about what the current state of IPv4 really is. And it doesn’t look good. Either we switch to IPv6…or switch to Carrier Grade NAT (CGN). The latter seems to be seriously sucky imho.

sigh… for my own reference:

port selfupdate
port outdated
port upgrade outdated

to update macports itself and the installed ports through macports.
