The 69/8 Networking Problem

jaredmauch writes "A number of networking providers who receive address space from ARIN have been having problems with their recent IP space allocations. This is a result of outdated filters that applied a few years ago during the boom time of the net, but have not been updated to reflect the current state of the network. Here is a paper that documents some of the problems this filtering is causing providers."

  7. *BSD is dying by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Troll
    It is official; Netcraft now confirms: *BSD is dying

    One more crippling bombshell hit the already beleaguered *BSD community when IDC confirmed that *BSD market share has dropped yet again, now down to less than a fraction of 1 percent of all servers. Coming on the heels of a recent Netcraft survey which plainly states that *BSD has lost more market share, this news serves to reinforce what we've known all along. *BSD is collapsing in complete disarray, as fittingly exemplified by failing dead last in the recent Sys Admin comprehensive networking test.

    You don't need to be a Kreskin to predict *BSD's future. The hand writing is on the wall: *BSD faces a bleak future. In fact there won't be any future at all for *BSD because *BSD is dying. Things are looking very bad for *BSD. As many of us are already aware, *BSD continues to lose market share. Red ink flows like a river of blood.

    FreeBSD is the most endangered of them all, having lost 93% of its core developers. The sudden and unpleasant departures of long time FreeBSD developers Jordan Hubbard and Mike Smith only serve to underscore the point more clearly. There can no longer be any doubt: FreeBSD is dying.

    Let's keep to the facts and look at the numbers.

    OpenBSD leader Theo states that there are 7000 users of OpenBSD. How many users of NetBSD are there? Let's see. The number of OpenBSD versus NetBSD posts on Usenet is roughly in ratio of 5 to 1. Therefore there are about 7000/5 = 1400 NetBSD users. BSD/OS posts on Usenet are about half of the volume of NetBSD posts. Therefore there are about 700 users of BSD/OS. A recent article put FreeBSD at about 80 percent of the *BSD market. Therefore there are (7000+1400+700)*4 = 36400 FreeBSD users. This is consistent with the number of FreeBSD Usenet posts.

    Due to the troubles of Walnut Creek, abysmal sales and so on, FreeBSD went out of business and was taken over by BSDI who sell another troubled OS. Now BSDI is also dead, its corpse turned over to yet another charnel house.

    All major surveys show that *BSD has steadily declined in market share. *BSD is very sick and its long term survival prospects are very dim. If *BSD is to survive at all it will be among OS dilettante dabblers. *BSD continues to decay. Nothing short of a miracle could save it at this point in time. For all practical purposes, *BSD is dead.

    It is official; Rational thinkers confirm: "*BSD is dying" troll is retarded

    One more crippling bombshell hit the already beleaguered Slashdot troll community when everybody confirmed that the troll community has dropped off the map yet again, now down to less than a fraction of 1 percent of their original creativity. Coming on the heels of a recent realization which plainly showed that trolls are retards, this news serves to reinforce what we've known all along. Trolls are not creative, educated, and is exemplified by repeated trolling attempts using the same old troll. You don't need to be a Psychologist to predict that the majority of trolls on the Slashdot website have no future. The crayon writing is on the wall: trolls face a bleak future. In fact there won't be any future at all for trolls unless they learn to be more creative. Things are looking very bad for trolls. As many of us are already aware, trolls continue to lose appeal.

    The "*BSD is dying" trollers are the most endangered of them all, having lost 93% of its original amusement and creativity. The gradual and unpleasant repetition over a long time only serves to underscore the point more clearly. There can no longer be any doubt: trolls are retards.

    Let's keep to the facts and look at the numbers.

    All the good trolls have ditched Slashdot. Such figures as Signal_11 have gone away to leave the retard trolls behind. How many creative trolls are there? Let's see. The number of creative trolls is roughly nil. Therefore there are far more retards than creative trolls.

    Due to the suckiness of trolls, abysmal creativity skills and so on, good trolls have left Slashdot and went to Kuro5hin.

    Fact: Trolls are retards.
