    Facebook uses MySQL/memcached, cassandra is only used for systems running the statistical analysis.

    You talk about HTML5, but it just needs part of the canvas spec. that's it. It doesn't need all features. I haven't checked but I wouldn't be surprised if every current browser except for IE already has that.

    I think it's pretty sad they use XML instead of JSON, but I can't imagine a java-programmer understanding JSON.

  5. Re:What does DNSSEC mean for ISPs that mess wtih D on DNSSEC May Cause Problems On May 5 · · Score: 1

    Nothing at all, because you would need a DNS-client which asks for DNSSEC-extension information and actually check it, which most don't.

  6. Re:Is DNSSEC going to kill djbdns? on DNSSEC May Cause Problems On May 5 · · Score: 1

    Even better the software needs to ask for extensions for EDNS and DNSSEC otherwise an authoritive nameserver doesn't even return a larger response.

  7. Re:What about djbdns? on DNSSEC May Cause Problems On May 5 · · Score: 1

    dnscache even uses EDNS, have a look at it's root priming query, it asks for EDNS.

    Nothing is automatic in DNS, you can implement it anyway you like.

    They don't support the DNSSEC-extension (and also not EDNS), they do think DNSCurve is a good idea though.

  10. Re:Put all the porn sites on ipv6. on What Happens When IPv4 Address Space Is Gone · · Score: 1

    A lot of P2P protocols like bittorrent already support IPv6 and many people already use it.

    And I hear the Airport only does 6to4, not any real IPv6.

    Well, actually about 5%, possible a little less, of the internet at the moment.

    This might be, but their still is gonna be a stockmarket for IPv4 atleast in the RIPE-region (Europe), I think it was approved. Also you can buy/sell with people in the ARIN-region as well if I'm not mistaken.

    Even if all of those are returned, it will only add months, maybe a year tops, your just delaying the inevitable.

  15. Re:killer app needed. on GUI-Based Asset-Tracking Tools For a Datacenter? · · Score: 1

    Yeah shocking.

    I do think if someone took the time to clean that up it would be a big improvement.

    The advantage is, almost anyone could do it, with some directions, it just takes time.

  17. Re:Thats supposed to be obvious? on Digital Photocopiers Loaded With Secrets · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I think what is happening is, the operating system of the printer (which I hear in some cases is Linux ?) works like most operating systems when deleting a file. It just removes the directory entry. So the file-data is still on the disk, but it has no name or length, isn't connected to a directory and parts could be scattered all over the disk.

  18. Re:Using Java for web development on Thoughts On the State of Web Development · · Score: 1

    I think the only reason this even made the frontpage is because the editors like a good discussion.

    The subject pretty much doesn't interrest anyone, right ?

    Euh.. no. The HTTP-header is sent inside de SSL/TLS-encrypted stream.

    The only thing which is unencrypted is http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Server_Name_Indication

    Which is the equivaliant of the HTTP-host-header, which is just as secure as having just one website per IP-address, because it will be very clear which website your visiting anyway.
