Intel Predicts Death Of WWW

LostCluster writes "Forbes is running a report saying that Intel's CTO claims that the WWW is 'running up on some architectural limitations' that will eventually cause its downfall. He's pushing a project called PlanetLab that has Princeton, Cambridge, Hewlett-Packard and AT&T on board, but Cisco is notably absent from that team."

Thanks for the link on the Bush thing, I hadn't heard of that. I've had a hard time supporting either candidate, but I felt Bush would be a good terrorist antidote, so I was leaning towards him. However, that just shows he puts himself on the same level as all the other religous fanatics who are "doing the duty of God/Allah". Why can't we have a leader who runs the country with expert guidance and reason instead of voices in his or her head?

So I went to the car mechanic

[elpapacito]

Because I felt like I wanted my car tuned up to maintain good performance over time ; treat any machine well and it will bring you anywhere.

The technician was happy to do the cleaning job that he knew well, he was paid for and did a good job. My car felt like new, no Ferrari but hey it was a tune up not a modification ! While I was waiting a car salesman approached me, proposing me to trade in the old car for a brand new one, offering a good deal. I refused as I went in for a tune up and I didn't want to give up a perfectly good car that was OK for my needs.

The car salesman didn't pressure me much, I later realized. After like a week of traveling I noticed a noise I had never noticed before ..kaching..kaching..kaching. Little, but persistant.

I was a little alarmed, but the car didn't seem to behave badly. I didn't want to run in trouble, so I went back to the mechanic. The technician said he didn't know, and asked his coworkers..meanwhile the car salesman said that he knew, it was a structural defect of some pump and that to save me time and expenses he would have replaced it for little money. That "kaching" was typical of the problem, which was little known but to insiders.

I said I would have tought about that, and I went to another mechanic, who didn't know ..but promised me to spend some time thinking about it. The day after he discovered it was just a loose part not fixed well after the tuneup.

Kaching...you need new hardware or the world will fall apart...kaching..it's a big problem, we don't want you in harm.

awating the spam zombies

I cannot tell you guys how many spam zombies there are out there. As a Sys Admin for a hosting company, I am finding an alarming rate of increase in regards to infected PCs spamming without the knowledge of their owner... Imagine all the thousands of newbies and the junk those guys will send :( Maybe you better not ;)
