The idea is to make 9.1 zeroconf ready. http://www.zeroconf.org
zeroconf is a system for configuring machines completely automatically, assigning ip addresses on local lan without dhcp and all, and the 169.254/16 network is a part of that
do we really need computers marketed for the stupid? in the end it'll be windoze all over again.
Of course we do! What we really need are computers that are usable by people who like to work on things other than computers. Once upon a time I enjoyed working on cars, now they are simply a means of transportation. Computers should be the same, something the average guy can use to help him do productive work or fun. But, the guy that likes to putter with electrics and such things should have the option to play to his hearts content. No one should have all the fun to the exclusion of others with different tastes. richard
