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."
actually only 50% of Slashdot posts are unnecessary but some of them are exceptionally time-wasting (some get as many as 1 negative mod points) so the equivilent of 99% are pointless.
This story is patently untrue.

A recent survey of 1 million monkeys indicates that 99.99% of them say that computers are unnecessary
But the remaining 0.01% of monekys need DNS to communicate using the Infinite Monkey Protocol Suite
100% of PunchMonkey's posts are trolls!

Hey! I resembl^H^H^Hnt that remark!
I'll have something intelligent to add one of these days...
who are not half as smart as they like to think they are.
.elvis does not exist is CRIMINALLY NEGLIGENT. How hard is it to put the little text list file in every DNS server?
SURELY in any application that deals with a ton of data, a maelstrom with which they can hardly keep up, the *first thing you do* is filter out every single possible malformed and nonsensical processing item so you don't have to process it.
And what you DON'T do is kick anything that doesn't make sense upstairs. What were they thinking?
And THIS - the fact that a DNS server - A DNS SERVER! - doesn't know that
WHAT THE HELL WERE THEY THINKING????
