On: New Display Technology to Compete with LCDs?

Hmmm, How will it work in the dark being based on light reflection? Does it need a minimum amount of light?

Re:AT&T@Home == excite@Home?

On: @Home Network Approaching Shutdown

What a joke! @Home having one of a largest backbone....
The only two effects of @Home going away will be:
1) No more http requests to ?default.ida
2) Me having to get DSL

Please look at the @home backbone architecture... It has bad peering and lotsa hops...

Oh no - What happened... I am still up and running using @Home...

Real time stock market data

On: Experimenting w/ High Performance Computing and Multicasting?

How about real time stock quotes? A few companies have multicast backbones for this sole purpose (e.g., Savvis). Requirement is then to never miss a beat from opening to closing of the market(s). You also end up have to deal with multiple streams that can be very bursty.

AT&T, not NP is shutting down the network

On: CPUC Tells Northpoint To Restart Network

AT&T bought all of NP's networking assets and started to yank them out of the CO's, which exsplains why the NP network is going dark. The ISP I work for lost 500 customers with 24 hours notice - We went to a CO and saw the AT&T guys removing the kit. So, let's attack AT&T...

Re:It's email.

On: "e-mail" vs "email"

I think the future e-president will e-empower the masses thru e-commerce and e-management. Welcome to the e-government! It is not email or e-mail; just mail!

On: Atari Founder Debuts Linux-Based Game Machines

There are already country wide ranking systems for bar game in France (on a console similar to the MegaTouch) that can be find in some bars on the US. And let's not forget the aboxious trivia games with the wireless consoles in US bars. Can't wait for Doom at my favorite watering hole so...

Re:Not that revolutionary - In fact, sad

On: Easing Backbone Traffic By Scanning The Net

In fact, this is pathetic.... InterNAP has no backbone, so they better make sure that every packet sent to one of their customers hit the right P-NAP... I don't know about you, but I would rather use an ISP that uses private peering and has a real backbone connecting the peering points. I know at least of one...

Re:Battlebot

On: More Junkyard Wars

Battlebot is pathetic: These are not robots but RC cars.... The WWWF atmosphere is nearly more interesting than the action itself
