Not really.. I personally did a DIG on the ms domain while it was down and they used only their own Windoze boxes to provide DNS.... after the failing DNS days.. they added the new DNS through the outsourcing...
So why are they using Linux DNS Servers?

So if Microsoft is so against this horrid O/S because of security problems.. why are they using some Linux DNS Services?
Let's see which name servers Microsoft is using right now:
microsoft.com. 1d20h7m8s IN NS DNS4.CP.MSFT.NET.
microsoft.com. 1d20h7m8s IN NS DNS5.CP.MSFT.NET.
microsoft.com. 1d20h7m8s IN NS DNS7.CP.MSFT.NET.
microsoft.com. 1d20h7m8s IN NS DNS6.CP.MSFT.NET.
microsoft.com. 1d20h7m8s IN NS z1.msft.akadns.COM.
microsoft.com. 1d20h7m8s IN NS z2.msft.akadns.COM.
microsoft.com. 1d20h7m8s IN NS z6.msft.akadns.COM.
microsoft.com. 1d20h7m8s IN NS z7.msft.akadns.COM.
Let's do a queso on the last four.
$ sudo queso z1.msft.akadns.COM:53
216.32.118.104:53 * Linux 2.1.xx/2.2.xx
$ sudo queso z2.msft.akadns.COM:53

That is correct. You don't have control over the filterage (at least from what I've seen here).. they give you the filters and you put them in. So if I type in "children sex abuse" for a research paper I'm doing on sexual abuse... it probably wouldn't go =\. So basically all users in the school are banned from sites which may or may not be valid. Granted there is an override password... so it's good for home use... but not for schools...
What good is Bess? We use it at the Internet Provider that I work for, UpLink. It seems to work fairly well... I've played around wtih it in the office. However, there are ways around it... I've played with it, and have figured out some ways to get around the service with the settings in place.... using proxy services and what not.. that I was running on my home computer.... so if it's this easy to get around Bess... why do schools care?

Java and all are good for people with fast computers. Granted, probably everyone has or will have fast computers soon... but there is still a market of people who have slower older computers but are online (Granted they are going the way of the water-buffalo). In addition. Java applications are good... but not over dial-up.. unless they are small. Once broadband is in every house hold in America (And the world) Java applications and having computers with no hard drives will be good.. but until then... things really need to be locally for those of us who dial up to the internet.
For instance, if you do a search for pornography on google, you can often times get a link to Disney.com. The reason for this is because many porn sites, if you click the, I AM NOT OVER 18 link, take you to www.disney.com.
This is both something good and something bad in the way that google indexes.
I have to agree with Arkaein here, it is very odd that someone was able to fool Google into thinking that the GW store was a top linked site. It would be nice if Google where to show you were the reference came from:-)

Very obviously Google uses words from OTHER websites to link back to websites in searches. I'm not sure I like this. This looks as though by someone linking to my website and putting bad words in their website, I could be affected by it.. anyone able to comment on this?
I've many times searched the internet with a search program to find nothing that I was looking for. It's very upsetting when you try to find something. I used to like Ask Jeeves (www.aj.com), but it still wouldn't find what I was looking for, then I found google (www.google.com) and was very happy to find that it did infact find what I was looking for most of the time. Why can't all search engienes look for what you type in?
I think part of the problem lies in the fact that they match words all over the website.. ie... if I type in "hot green hamsters" the words Hot, Green, and Hamsters can appears anywhere on the homepage, even if I put them in "'s the search programs dont' always group them togethor. So A page talking about hot peppers, green peppers, and how hamsters eat the pepper gardens in Mexico, would bring up a search, even though it wasn't anything about what I was looking for.
That was not flamebait! But anyway. Adult pornography is between two consenting adults. However, when it is between children, the children usually are not concenting, or enjoying it in any way whatso ever. In addition, having digitally created pictures of children in sexual positions only goes on to say that it is ok to have this type of thing done. The fact that they are under the age of 18 regardless of if it is a picture or not, makes it illegal. In addition, if you post a story or something to an adult message board, you would not be permitted to post a story about children under the age of 18, regardless of if the story is true or not.
I don't know about others, but personally I would much rather have a human do heart sergery on me, then trust it to a robot. Granted, computers are great, and for things that are the same over and over they are good, but there is just to much that is different and can change from person to person. I don't think we currently (or ever probably) will have the technology to allow a robot to do open heart segery on a person.
I personally think this blocking has gotten way out of hand. It's totally wrong, in my opinion to block customers from accessing websites, especially a whole netblock. That's just not right!
Mine has never, to my knowledge, been an open relay.. I'm just saying assuming it must have been open here or there and mAPS got it.. cause I was on the list.. though to my knowledge I was never open... ARG! makes you wonder if there are other innoccent servers on the list.
I personally feel that MAPS, ORBs are more trouble then they are worth. I used to work for an isp which used orbs and it was really truely nothing more then a headache for the Tech people. People woudl call in wondering why they were not able to get e-mail from someone, or why someone could not get e-mail from them. And most of the time it was ORBS. Another example is that open mail relays are blocked. My own mail server was blocked by ORBS one day. it was fine.. the next day blocked. Never (except for perhaps a few minutes here and there) had it been an open relay, yet orbs had blocked it. When I requested they take it off, they promptly did, but again, there was no reason for it to be put up there!
You know... most everything (including Microsoft products) you don't even have to read the EUA... you can just click accept.... I noticed that Napster requires you however to read it before you can click I accept (or at least make it seem as though you read it, by scrolling through the whole thing).
Something I've wondered about... can a company legally put something in the EUA.. like many paragraphics down, like that you would need to give them so much money or do something, and then when you click agree, have it send something back to them, say over the internet.. so they would have a record of it... would this be legally binding? And would you as the user have to legally pay them since it was in the EUA which you clicked I Accept on?
Let people decide this with their browsers, and never specify sizes in pixels. It looks awful on small
monitors (say, PDAs, or Grandma's 640x480 monitor), and it's awful AND hard to read on a
1600x1200 display.
Sorry, I'd have to disagree with you here.. if you make a table that is 480 pixels across you know it will be readable on Grandmat's monitor and also on a 1024x768... plus any graphics I put in.. will look right... on the other hand, if I go an specify a percent.. it may look fine on your 1024x768.. but when I go and look at it on grandma's 640x480 my pictures may actually OVERLAP my text because there is no room and the picture is too big!
I think part of the reason that some of the nasa sites look almost gopher-ish is because they have been around for ages, and no one has taken the time or effort to update them. If you look at them, they look like the nasa (and many other sites) did back in like 1995, or so... I think they probably just haven't re-designed the site... so it still looks old, gopherish, etc.

Why are there so many similarities? I thought that Microsoft hates Sun? Or do they really like their product, just hate the competition? :)

Is it just me or are some of the links broken?
Or not there at all in the quickies? And I'm seeing double! AHHH! hehehe
Yeah! Perhaps we will find a planet with water on it =)
