But hey. They ARE ALREADY hitting another database today as they do the DNS-reverselookup. Making that lookup more simple by reducing and grouping nets into a small.cdb or other LOCAL FIXED DATABASE, will speed up that process indeed. It's just a matter of interpreting the ipindex in an intelligent way in respect to what the result is used for. Not name-mapping but actual geotargeting.

There's no need to reverselookup just to be able to geotarget ads. Build up a reverse-database, and you are all set.
You just need country or so location anyway, right? I mean there are a lot of.com-domains in europe now, and that's when reverse-lookups does WRONG instead of looking at where the actual nets are allocated.
NO NO NO. It was clarified yesterday on the IPSec session. Radia Perlman did a run-through of those things that ought to be changed, but saying that IKE is "bad" is a misinterpretation. IKE is a bit complicated and a lot of the attendees yesterday agreed on that simplifications made to IKE would be a good thing.

The incredible amount of well (most of it anyway) written modules for Perl makes the decision pretty easy if you want to get the job done fast AND portable. Which is probably the top 1 priority since you use a scripting language.
No matter the clarification - it's not BSD license

The IPF license is not BSD.
It's good for anyone that is ipf END USER, but as long as it's not BSD-stylee, people modifining ipf (like a lot of companies and others) can't reuse and redistribute these remodified versions of ipf.
I.e. end users of OpenBSD might use modified ipf, but they won't be able to modifiy and redistribute these versions. Not good.
... is as always to BUY THE CD (one or more, and possible additions to your wardrobe) at http://www.openbsd.org/
Regardless if you install over ftp are updating an earlier installation from CVS or just don't bother to upgrade.
BUY THE CD to support on of the worlds most secure operating systems.
Remember the wise words of RMS:
Free software has not to be free as in free beer.
I've bought at least one cd per release since 2.4 and that gives me a warm fuzzy feeling.
The people in the OpenBSD team are doing the most important thing to secure an OS: Auditing. They need support in time and hardware to be able to debug and audit new code. Time is money.
If you work on a company that needs a driver or a port of a package to a secure OS, then don't hesitate to pay for development of free software.

How will all these systems cope with the fact that there will be clones distributed sharing away more than the selected part of the local file system?
I'm not saying that open source is bad. But in this case, it's much easier to spread a trojan that both are "evil" against themself and attractive for folks who are trading illegal files.
All executables got from the net are of course subject to this criticism, but as this from the start has been designed for local disk scanning and network filesharing it would be the easiest application to build the next BO-like from.
Don't you consider this as a risk that should be taken action against?

Yes. There seem to be some problems with squid "deciding" whats legal and not. Very pityful, as it really shows how cool things you can use URL:s for. I hope atleast that the decimal URL:s works with squid. cheers,

The norwegian version here is identical to the English one.
The motivation is that Jan has broken the crypto. "When you buy the disc, you buy the rights to play the movie, not to copy it".
They just don't get it. You have to be able to decode the data to play it.
It has NOTHING to do with copying.
