Since.su predates ICANN by more than a decade, I doubt they were thinking very much about that:

Pilgrim, whose blog dropped from first to sixth place in a search for "mark," admitted that weblogs may have been overrated prior to the latest index. "I was beating out Mark Twain before -- that's probably not fair."
Have you tried it? It works fine. I run MacOS X 10.1.5 on a G3 233 MHz (granted, it does have 320 mb ram), and for what I use it for (Netscape 7/Office X/ssh/mp3 playing), it is quite sufficient.
I do think that the previous poster had a point, though. You don't NEED 2+ GHz for most computer use. If you did, Apple wouldn't sell any machines.
The PCI-X 2.0 specification defines two new versions of PCI-X add-in cards: PCI-X 266 and PCI-X 533. The first, PCI-X 266, runs at speeds up to 266 Mega transfers per second, enabling sustainable PCI bandwidth of more than 2.1 Gigabytes/second. PCI-X 533 runs at speeds up to 533 Mega transfers per second enabling bandwidth of more than 4.2 Gigabytes/second. Such throughput rates are more than sufficient to handle current applications while also supporting future high-bandwidth add-in card connections to 10 Gigabit Ethernet, 10 Gigabit Fibre Channel, Serial Attached SCSI, Serial ATA (SATA), InfiniBand, RAID and cluster interconnects for servers and workstations.
True. Their right to control how their pages are displayed ends when the page hits my browser. If I want to have a page displayed with other fonts, colours, or something like, they don't get to say "no" to that either.
I mean, sheesh! It's not like I'm forcing anyone else to display their pages that way.
Funny, comming at the same time as the PGP vuln.

Shneier et al just released a paper about a PGP/GPG vulnerability. This vulnerabilty relies on the PGP user not being paranoid, and doing something that's not too smart.
So, once again, you're only as secure as the weakest link, which is often the user...
Well, speak of the devil... I just got a shedload of bounces again. This time from "Easley Legal Marketing Group (ELM) Group, LLC" asking people to call (716) 812-2144 I wouldn't mind, if any of you were to call them, and give them a piece of your mind:-) I'm not going to make a call overseas for that...
I've had that happen to me a couple of times now. Probably because I'm a pain-in-the-ass anti-spammer. No one has complained to either me nor my provider,though. The only reason I know of it, is that I got all the bounces. Fortunately, there's procmail for that.

I use procmail, with weighted scoring First, I sort out mail from the mailingslists I read. Then, mail from friends, and people I correspond with a lot. Finally, I have a weighted scoring recipe: :0 Bh * -199^0 #Assign an initial value of -199, mail gets filtered, if the score is above 0, at the end of the recipe. * 50^1 ^(From|To):.*@hotmail.com * 50^1 ^(From|To):.*@yahoo.com * 50^1 ^(From|To):.*@aol.com * 50^1 ^(From|To):.*@msn.com * 50^1 ^(From|To):.*@excite.com * 50^1 ^(From|To):.*@netscape.net * 50^1 ^(From|To):.*@yahoo.co.uk #Most mail to and from these domains is spam, so score it. * 100^1 opt-out * 50^1 opt-in * 200^1 OTCBB * 50^1 viagra * 50^1 zyban * 50^1 propecia * 75^1 FREE * 75^1 GUARANTEED * 75^1 LEGAL * 50^2 MILLIONAIRE * 50^1 100% #Words I only see in spam. mail/Trash
This works quite well for me. If any spam gets through, I try to find some words, that I don't get in normal mail, and add them to the scoring.
You could look for an AlphaPC164 (or SX/LX) -- with matching CPU -- on eBay. They are OEM/Evaluation boards from DEC, fit in a standard ATX cabinet, and use pretty normal RAM, etc.
That's how I got my AlphaPC164 and AlphaPC164SX
Final word of advice: Don't buy an AlphaPC164SX without a CPU, CPUs for them (21164PC) are pretty much impossible to find.
It's hard to say, without knowing exactly what Alpha you have (real DEC or or a whitebox, PC164LX/SX), how you could install Linux on it, but either an SRM firmware upgrade or install using MILO.
This sound like a great idea. Just combine it with a solar power charger, a sattelite phone, and you'll be able to get online anywhere in the world.:-)

If MS really used "proper" RSA, noone has yet found an algorithm that is better than brute force.
Since .su predates ICANN by more than a decade, I doubt they were thinking very much about that:
As for whether .su should be shut down, you won't get any argument from me there. Give them a couple of years to migrate, and then shut the TLD down.
They do exist, you know
Just as with 7200 rpm drives, it's just a question of time before it migrates down the foodchain, and ends up in ATA drives.

Virtually all modern E-mail clients (yes, even OutLook) and SMTP servers can be configured to use that.
There's just no excuse for open relays anymore.
It's called PCI-X:

And, RedHat, hasn't given on the Alpha yet, RedHat 7.2 *will* be comming out. They've done a deal with Compaq: see Phillip Copeland (Bryce)'s diary
But, you're right, more Alpha hackers are always welcome.

These boxen are fun. Just being able to install Linux on an alpha/sparc with a serial console is an ... unique ... experience.

Final word of advice: Don't buy an AlphaPC164SX without a CPU, CPUs for them (21164PC) are pretty much impossible to find.
No, but most Alphas can be flashed with new firmware, and enable you to use SRM (the Unix console) that way.
It's hard to say, without knowing exactly what Alpha you have (real DEC or or a whitebox, PC164LX/SX), how you could install Linux on it, but either an SRM firmware upgrade or install using MILO.
Best of luck with it, it can be quite fun.
