> it felt like to be in the ExtJS community after jack slocum exited

I've to admit that, on some rather rare occasions, I'm thinking about Jack Slocum and how he gave away/was taken away that thing that once was a truely remarkable, changeing lib for js, at least if you take into account when extjs was released. And I wonder what would have happen to him if he invented something like extjs in our venture capital and crowdfounding times.

How to get a /64 ipv6 subnet when the ISP won't supply one? My ISP just hands out 1 ipv4, thankfully without DSLite or CGN. Any link to a howto out there which incorporates your suggestion?

that's probably the thing. Just think about what it is like to suddenly find yourself as a public known non-government guy in a socialist, underdeveloped country obviously owning a million bucks. D'oh. I bet he's been stalked a lot last days.

yeah right. No legal info, not even a hint who is responsible for this. But wait, there's even more, you need a facebook account to attend the party. Oh boy, this thing is gonna storm everyone's heart for sure. Like Bitcoin will be the next all purpose currency. </sarcasm>

Making things foolproof results in better fools.

But, I really would like to admit that things like "WPA2 Enterprise" or "Proxy" are really at least more than special in terms of common language. Looking at the TV analogy OP made, I would like to throw in this piece of information:

Even getting a new TV up and running is some kind of rocket science nowadays. This is what it is like in Germany right now:

Step 1: buy TV at local dealer.

Step 2: At home, the TV is asking you to tell him what kind of signal you have:

   * Cable, analog
   * Cable, digital
   * DVB/T (terristical, antenna on roof or indoor)
   * Sat, satellite analog
   * DVB-S, satellite digital
   * DVB-S2, satellite digital h264 HD
Step 3: Call son or husband of daughter to setup this strange device: "All I wanted is to watch TV!!!!eleven!"

And that is not even close to the confusion happening when the wifi and apps settings are popping up.
