I found a neat parody at http://www.linuxpower.cx/linuxad.jpg.

Here's the solution to censored web pages, courtesy of ./ Censorware Blocking Methods Using Akamai and heres your Uncensored Napster Link . Yes, I know, I'm a Pimp.

Anybody remember how video cards worked on Indigo II's? It's been awhile since I opened one up but IIRC the motherboard had a riser card with EISA slots in back and some kind of other slot in front. SGI used parallel EISA slots to overcome the speed limitations of EISA. The entry level graphics card was 18"x4" and filled one slot, while the "Extreme" card filled 3 slots on the board... when the "Impact" series came out they even had to boost the power supply and run a direct power cable from the ps to the boards. Once again, the Max Impact took 3 slots, while the High Impact took and the Solid Impact one.

Here's a picture of an Extreme card. This is not my auction, btw... I just didn't feel right about deep linking to the picture and it's the only one I could find.

As a matter of abstract, ignorant speculation: how hard would it be to implement several modern AGP slots on a motherboard and plug in multiple cards either SLI fashion or SGI "extreme gfx/max impact" fashion? Or even better, would it be possible to build a video card which filled one AGP slot and had a second subcard which fit in one or two PCI slots? It seems like a relatively elegant solution to an ugly problem. At least, it seems like a really cool project, and better than using an external power source.

Etc.

I checked this out from behind a firewall/netnanny (Microsoft most likely), and sure enough the Yahoo example (http://a1.g.akamaitech.net/6/6/6/6/www.yahoo.com/ ) works fine. So the storey's true...right? Then again, try pasting another Web page name there. Even try the example on peacefire.org using "sex.com" and it fails from here at least. Is this just a bogus story based on a wierd link to Yahoo?

Does this mean that the MPAA will sue them over http://a1.g.akamaitech.net/6/6/6/6/www.free-dvd.or g.lu/ ?

The Anonymizer deletes any personally identifiable information from your http requests (such as your IP) but using Akamai doesn't.

You can give it try but accessing the Slashdot poll page Her e. (aid=1 // Pop) then voting again Her e. (aid=2 // Soda)

The second time you vote, it identifies your proxy's IP as well as your actual IP.

distribute its contents around the Web. Yet http://a1.g.akamaitech.n et/6/6/6/6/www.bluescreen.org.lu/. does work as expected, at least if you surf on '98.

Seems to work for any sites: see SuperSpandex and Beebware.com - neither of which have connections to Akamize. Even the Alt.Sex.Stories Text Repository works!

Try it:

For example, someone surfing the Web with filtering software installed could access "sex.com" by typing:

http://a1.g.akamaitech.net/6/6/6/6/sex. com/.

I opened up the article and there was the perfect sponsor for such a venture: Sponsored by: Windows 2000. I wonder if that had any association with the article. . .

I think that a patent period of 6 to 9 months is too short for some SW patents (e.g. a revolutionary new algorithm for multimedia compression).

Really? Then you're happy that you're not able to watch Sorenson encoded video on Linux? Even though it's rapidly becoming the encoding alrgorithm of choice for high-quality video on the internet? And that, except for a potential (maybe, maybe not) port of Apple's closed-source, horrendously buggy, resource-hogging, pop-up-ad-spewing Interface Hall of Shame member Quicktime 4, you never will??

Yeah, let's hear it for long software patents. After all, Linux users won't mind having to wait 17 years to watch the new Mission Impossible 2 trailer. (Caution!! 17.9 MB download!! And no Linux users allowed until the year 2015!!!)

Here's the URL you want to use to download the actual movie (not just the "click here to play" splash screen:

http://a304.g.akamaitech.net/7/304/51/e59f35e0673b 13/www.apple .com/main/media/trailers/fox/x-men/x-men_320.mov

If you look a little closer at the source code you can see that they are actually using Akamai to deliver the movie. This means that the best thing to do is look in the source and *not* click on this link, but in case you don't know how, you can use this:

Click to save

Since there's not an obvious downloadable link to it, thought I'd add this in...

save target as

That ought to get it onto your hard drive.. : )

I completely agree, but why is this? Why do all X themes look butt ugly?

We've all seen these before, but compare them and think, "What is Aqua doing that GNOME is not?" Nothing! Both screenshots are simple desktop+explorer shots. Yet somehow the Aqua screen looks like da bomb and GNOME looks like shite.

Newton-OS-based portable, "clamshell" physical design with translucent plastic case, built-in keyboard. Didn't catch on. Newton users didn't like it, schools weren't convinced. Picture.

Not a bad idea! ;-) A new internet startup called Akamai does something very similar. The company has ~900 servers around the world, caching their clients static web content. For example, jcrew.com generates their HTML with image URLs pointing to (say) http://a1240.g.akamaitech.net/7/1240/969/ffe0a8c13 22031/jcrew.com/images/ sep99/e2home/clearance.jpg. This distributes the load off of jcrew.com's server to the Akamai servers nearest the user.

I wonder if someone could write a freebie script that does the same thing using free web space like GeoCities or Xoom. The script could automatically create accounts on those sites and shed the load for serving static content to these free servers. >:-) I bet GeoCities would soon figure out a way to block this behaviour, though.. but it still might be fun.

However, the thing does indeed look funny. It could be the possible love-child of a HP 712/60 and a component CD player .
