DNS Root Servers Outside US Surpass Those Inside
penciling_in writes "Paul Rendek, head of member services and communica of RIPE Network
Coordination Centre (RIPE NCC) has
reported on CircleID that: 'For the first time in Internet history the
number of instances of DNS root servers outside the United States has overtaken
the number within. The balance was tipped by the recent launch in Frankfurt of
an anycast instance of the RIPE
NCC operated K-root server.' In
the same report, Daniel Karrenberg, Chief Scientist of the RIPE NCC says:
'We monitor the quality of the root name service from more than 50
locations worldwide, and we publish the results for everyone to see.'"

Don't you know that everyone who makes a stab at American ignorance is a terrorist? The moderator was only trying to stop the terrorists from winning.
Parent is not a troll. Else why they supported Bush war on Iraq?
I could care less if it was modded 'troll'. I'm still giggling over saying 'Krautkroot krautkroot' over and over . . .
Just because we dont care if their are other shit stained countries outside the US doesnt mean we dont know.
Hell, what are we going to make fun if their are no other countries around.
And I'd like another country to have some balls to make us care. Like Iraq for example.
Then how come the US is crying so much over other countries taking away their foreign trade? Oh, thats right, the US only care if they get hurt.
"The strength of the Internet does not come from centralistic or hierarchical designs but from de-centralised and distributed design and engineering," noted Karrenberg.
Personally, I'm torn between the cushy redundancy offered by decentralization, and the cushy security of having most of the servers in a stable, well-protected country.
The coolest voice ever.
I find it kind of funny that the rest of the world thinks we're ignorant because we don't care about them. Personally I have no interests in ever visiting any of the Eurotrash states, much less Africa or Asia. The farthest I've been out of the glorious United States has been Cancun and frankly, driving through the slums on the way to the americanized resort areas is pretty depressing. I imagine most of South and Central America is similar to the slums of Mexico.
But isn't that true? What was the last thing a Muslim country contributed to society besides death and destruction?
What is the differance between an American and a piece of bird-shit? Bird-shit doesn't scream as it falls 140 storeys.
"World - America = 5.85 billion."
you mis spelled 'peacefully coexsisting'
The name service is very important for finding porn sites. There's an endless number of sites you can get to by just guessing the url: sex.com, porn.com, blowjob.com, weirdkinkystuff.com, etc. If you just had numerical IP addresses, you'd be stuck with 69.69.69.69 and not much else.

Why in the world would I want to visit some ultra liberal socialist country like France or Belgium? I think the US Air Force should just fly a F-15 over Paris and end this non-sense. Shit, the French would surrender immediately.
I am American. I am superior. Forget it Europe. Your are #3 no matter what you do.
Get out? Where would I go, the mecca of culture that is Australia? I don't think so. I can spend the rest of my life exploring the U.S. and still not see all the interesting things here.
