Baker's Dozen.
The Root Server RFC mandates a triple redundancy, so you have your 4 root servers triplicated.
If you tear the pages out of that book and plaster Ben Franklin all over it with green ink, I can assure you, the smell it changes to is much more comforting.
Any other netadmins out there figure out how to block the kid in the back with a Voicestream cell doing dialup for his IM? He's actually got enough free minutes to stay dialed into his ISP during all 9 hours of the business day, 20 days a month. The boss made me take the tin foil down. What else can I try?
Given that stealing IP bandwidth is somewhat equivalent to cutting people in a line, I'd have to say that I would not want those people as my customers, speaking as an ISP. They're always going to give you grief. The competition getting them is beneficial!
Granted, I would like to point out that putting the security on the client end is forever the broken model, and that cable ISPs (I am not a cable ISP) should have their access model flipped, with the bandwidth restrictions throttled at their end, before it gets to the customer's.
It's important to realize that IP bandwidth is a packetized, easily measurable thing- taking more than you paid for means you're screwing over everybody. Just because you can do a thing doesn't mean you have the right. The counter argument that it should be the ISPs responsibility to restrict you, while correct, doesnt mean it's still ok for you to do it.
Most (read: any ISP above moron status- doesnt mean all of them by any means!) have the dreaded "Acceptable Use Policy". Somewhere in the AUP, or some other disclaimer, ISPs have a blurb where they state they cannot be held accountable for financial loss due to system downtime and misconfiguration. I equate this to people who sue doctors out of business because in that inevitable mathematical instance of them screwing up (or not screwing up, just being out of luck) where they lose a life, and the family makes sure they dont come back. There, another good doctor who messed up a patient which will be replaced by some n00b who bats.650 but no one knows that cause he hasn't had a screw up yet. Tough luck lady- if you were clueless enough to make email your ONLY venue for contact on a 65k job, you deserve what you got. This is common sense people- would you hire someone who couldnt leave a phone number on their resume? Now for the rest of you who think she should get that 65k from the ISP- the ISP probably is going to be angry, but it's not them who will pay for it- their customers will. Either that or the ISP goes out of business and you just screwed up contact points for thousands of people, at the price of vindicating one. Sure, you can argue a flawless transition, but let's be honest- when's the last time an ISP level migration worked? When's the last time one that worked had people who were still OK to be bothered with it?
Gah that was a document of nothing but links- let's pretend I'm so lazy that I cannot bring myself to read the answer which is so clearly in front of my face- even if I'm in my dorm room working on a project completely unrelated to a class I am taking, or heck even general subject, can they impose this on me? (The answer will be trickled down through hundreds if not thousands of similarly lazy people- someone can be a hero, and all you need to do is read for about 6 to 7 weeks)
Dont forget calling your ISP's fax machine with a roll of black paper taped into a loop. We sent a kid out to a "grocery store" that day- we had no idea what was for lunch.
Swap the stock photo girl out with Heidi Wall chicken-scratching GIMP under X windows, and I'll buy one. Tell me I can bash alias a frowny face to/dev/null and I'll buy two. Tell me someone's working on a GUI iptables interface where I can flick digital bugs with my index finger, and I'll swap out my router. And if I can get it with an at&t natural voice Majel Barrett module, I'll wet my pants and run around in little circles. Now to resurrect a cliche- will it run linux? oops, I mean, how long til it runs linux?
this stuff makes me angry to read. and so they'll give me a coupon and i'll think about my nifty new coupon and when i get to use it! and then i'll be merry, having saved a small percentage on my new restrictions. give me something. let me get used to it. ok, now take it away. remember teasing the dog with a bone when you were a little kid? remember mom telling you that the dog would bite you back? you were so smart, you knew exactly when to pull the bone away without getting bit. dazed, you sat there staring at the white gashes in your hand before they gushed red- and so shall they when they realize that i will not accept a filtered, throttled connection. ah to jump to the day when a consumer milking a little extra gets the personal vendetta of a megacorp, as if to avenge having been spat upon.
this is an interesting article that partially deals with how the brain works in a manner similar to what you suggest. It's way out there but it's an interesting angle, at least.
At one meter, how loud in dB would something have to be for a deaf person with their back turned to realize a tone was being generated? And does the frequency matter?
I wasn't aware that Microsoft owns greater than 50% of the Internet infrastructure. I could care less if we have AOL, or MSN, or whoever- the Internet is an autonomous system designed to route around the stupid. There's no magic number at which point someone "owns" it. Many people already believe that Microsoft owns the Internet. So what if the rest of the AOL users start to think the same? As long as my packets get from point A to point B, it's working and it's nothing but pure Internet. (actually I suppose it needs to go through point B to point C to be an Internet)

The idea is so cool; many of us have considered this before. We're all afraid of one thing, though- isn't the bulb replacement a killer on the wallet?
For the purposes of trivia, though, is there any tech solution to this?

Getting your history confused- it's not the Dang Dictatorship, it's the Dang Dynasty. Honest mistake, I'm sure.

Poor Kelsey... that was the first time I ever heard something turn into an annoying phrase before it was done being said for the very first time.
