Just buy a 733 and change your bus speed to 70MHz from 66. Voila! A 770 MHz processor for the same price! If Intel can squeeze 766 out of the same process that they're using to produce 733s, there's no reason 733s cant run at 766.
I don't understand how the ICANN can maintain a monopoly on DNS - what policies and iron-clad laws exist to prevent people from simply setting up their own DNS "root" servers, and making.whateveryouwant TLDs?
People who want "real" DNS simply list the "real" DNS servers (which ultimately query the "real" root servers), and if you also want the "other" DNS, then list these "shadow root" servers too, in whatever setup is appropriate for your system.
Granted, there's a problem with ownership, and no overriding authority for where certain "shadow" domains resolve, but I think the craving for some sort of ultimate authority is what spawned the hydra that is now ICANN.
Ugh - Other DNS take 2 (blame charset encoding)

Since DNS servers are configured, ultimately, to query the root servers for name service, couldn't you just put ?I?different?/I? server IPs in first, to point your named (or whatever, flames to/dev/null) at these other servers.?P? In other words, to hell with ICANN - let's make a new DNS. For instance, why couldn't you just make up a.cool TLD, and make the "root" server for it. Then have people list you in their root server lists, and when their queries with the real DNS fail, they'll check yours out.?P? Or, just add DNS servers on your clients. Say I come up with a.sux domain, and run a DNS server. Just tell your friends to point their clients DNS at "real" DNS first, then me 3rd or 4th (or whatever). Then I could "register" micros~1.sux as a domain name, and eventually your clients would find it.?BR? Sort of like ?a href="http://www.dyndns.org"?DynDNS.org?/a? does it.

Are you asking how many slashdot readers have ethernet?
Are you kidding? I bet the majority of the readers on here have a home LAN, and the majority of the home LAN people also know how to set up NAT for Internet connection sharing.
This is "News for Nerds", man!
Hey, how about a home LAN poll?
I've been running Win2K since SP1 came out, and on my dual-Celeron box, it runs like a champ. A little memory hungry, but it responds gracefully under load. It has DirectX, USB, interrupt sharing, reparse points (think "symlink") and many other long-overdue goodies. AND it supports multiple processors.
My junkbuster proxy has been blocking more and more of slashdot ads lately. And I haven't changed its filter rules. So to me, this is a sign that slashdot is moving more and more to "mainstream" web-ads just like any other free website. Good or bad? You decide. Not a problem here, junkbuster prunes them all out anyway.
What ever happened to Banyan StreetTalk?

Is Novell Doomed?

I worked at a company that used NT, Novell (bindery) and Banyan Street Talk. I LOVED Banyan VINES/StreetTalk - and the DOS admin tools were a breeze to learn.
What ever happened to them, and can we dig up their source code? VINES used to run on some Unixy sort of thing, could some Bright Boy port it over to Linux? I'd buy/use/recommend that in a heartbeat!
We could actively sell ourselves to the State, like in.eu-land. Let's all smugly talk about our piss-poor "free" health care, our environmentally friendly $4/gallon fuel prices, and our "fair" 18% sales tax.
Meanwhile, people argue about the color of the wallpaper in their cells.
I run my own web/mail server. It's located at a friend's business, using their DSL connection. I send/receive my Internet email through that box. Sure, I can ssh and tunnel POP3 and SMTP traffic from my LAN at home to the mailserver, but that's the extent of any encryption I (or anyone, this is my point) can implement. Once the mail is on my server, my server sends it out across the Net through thousands of routers and relays, all of it un-encrypted.
IPSEC and SSH are great tools, but they do nothing for home user's security - what's needed are things like a secure IRC client (and server), secure IM clients (and servers), and an easy-to-use PGP-style email encryptor.
The chain is only as strong as its weakest link.
Great. Now you can click on boxes like "monitor UDP traffic" and "record POP3 traffic". Which means that Joe Agent, civil servant, IQ of 100, can now set up sniffers in ISPs.
It's like the "Bob" of packet sniffers.
Of course, when this obviously computer-savvy agent (or team of them... ooh) sees "suspicious" traffic, well, then you're busted.
Except if all they do is point and click, how the hell are they expected to be able to competently analyze network traffic?
On Linux, you can do the same thing with tcpdump, iptraf, and sniffit, depending on which task you're actually trying to do. Or hell, run them all, and dump to a huge logfile.
All this does is make it easier for non-technical people to operate a technical piece of machinery, and puts us all in danger of being investigated by stupider people than before.
But the developer is not out to "benefit society". He's looking out to benefit HIMSELF. When will you people realize that ability does not automatically put you in debt to the inable?
Can you explain what a "half point" on a "GPA" is for those of us who don't see Slashdot as simply a gateway to the private life of CmdrTaco? C'mon, man, look around - your little town in the US isn't the only place in the world with high schools.

That's kilo_BITS_ not kilo_BYTES_. 10BT is an order of magnitude faster.

It must be because your T1 at work is as limp as your cock.
Not with DSL, modem-boy.
Doesn't MS own the PC-software magazine industry?
Of course it looks "stable" to them. Like they even know what to look for.

No its worst for me, since I'm a US citizen, and have to put up with whoever the US voter-trolls elect.

UPS access port. A nice feature. Wait, does this mean that they'll send wireless power too? To UPS-protect your roaming devices? ;-)
Turn off the "disk seek at boot" in your BIOS. Or whatever its called - its used to determine if and what density disk you have in your drive.

3Com and Intel already make TCP/IP "aware" adapters - some with onboard hardware encryptor chips as well.

No, Windows just runs as slowly as if all your RAM has a couple of wait states.
