98% of DNS Queries at the Root Level are Unnecessary
LEPP writes "Scientists at the San Diego Supercomputer Centerfound that 98% of the DNS queries at the root level are unnecessary. This doesn't even take into account the 99.9% of web pages suck or are unnecessary anyways. This means that the remaining 2% of necessary DNS queries are probably not necessary either."
Take away the 98% queries off the wire and what do I get..more bandwidth for a first post!

Who is doing the work around here?
The population of the United States was 180 million at the time of writing, but there are 64 million over 60 years of age, leaving 116 million to do the work.
People under 21 total 59 million which leaves 57 million people to do the work.
Because of the 31 million government employees, there are only 26 million left to do the work.
Six million in the armed forces leave twenty million workers.
Deduct 17 million State, county, and city employees, and we are left with three million to do the work.
There are 2,500,000 people in hospitals, asylums, and treatment facilities leaving half a million workers.
However, 450,000 of these are bums or others who will not work, leaving 50,000 to do the work.
Now, it may interest you to know that there are 49,998 people in jail so that leaves just 2 people to do all the work, and that is you and me, and I'm getting tired of doing everything myself!

After W is finished kicking Iraq and Saddam's ass, I propose He turn his attention to the French. Those ingrates should be nuked off the face of the earth. We have saved those worthless limp wristed fags twice from the krauts and they still hate us. I am sick and tired of those French pansies, I hope Bush has the guts to turn Paris into a nuclear hell hole.
Including this one.
Lately democracy seems to be based on the skybox, the Happy Meal box, the X-box, and the idiot box.
I think the Cooperative Association for Internet Data Analysis (CAIDA) should requisition a new acronym, or run the risk of George W. (or one of his amphetamine crazed pilots) bombing the fuck out of due to that CAIDA - QAEDA similarity...
Athletic Scholarships to universities make as much sense as academic scholarships to sports teams.
what is this thing they call "joke"?
Are you "Lepp"? Are you sure it was a joke? Perhaps it was just typical oral-spew without thinking. cuntface.
It's time we take out those rude bastards once and for all. And, I suggest as soon as we're done with France, we move on to their colony of Quebec. BURN MONTREAL! BURN!!!!!
So I guess there IS such a thing as a stupid question...
The end says "That leaves just 2 people to do all the work; you and me, and you just read slashdot all day!"

Windows 2000 site goes over two years without a reboot
This month is the first time that a Windows 2000 site has appeared in the 50 top sites which have the longest period of time since last reboot. www.byteandswitch.com has been running continuously since November 2000. When we first started graphing web servers uptime in the summer of 2000, many people were skeptical that a Windows machine would ever make the top 50. Perceptions change, and although two years is exceptional, several Windows 2000 sites have run for more than a year without a reboot. In the hosting industry, Microsoft partners Interliant and Divine each have sites that have not been rebooted in over a year, while Microsoft has also run several of its own sites for over a year between reboots.

Oh, I'd kill for some mod points. Maybe we can /. the root DNS servers.
Why not fork?
So please send all you CPU to me!
(Duh, of course we don't need it but it's nice to have!)
YOU are unnecessary!
DNS queries YOU! And 98% are unneeded!
