I see the lack of Frontpage 2002 server extensions for BSDI. All other platforms are there. Hmm. Makes you wonder if they are dropping support in recent light of change.
Their browser is number one, they like to monopolize. In theory, this extension could be used to take over a majority of the TLD's without ICANN's say.
Im not a fan of microsoft, but we all know what happened to netscape vs ie, and if it was microsoft regstrar vs icann, it could very well be a battle that microsoft could easily throw enough money at to do some serious damage.
What happens if microsoft were to implement and use this within their next OS?
Makes you think...
1. For the majority of people wired with HFC, roadrunner service is superior to any other form of personal isp.
2. The price is not terrible when packaged with their other services (cable/telephone), they do have specials, you know!
3. DSL is lame, the profit line on it, is not as good as HFC-cable modem, for resellers. Wonder why all the big dsl resellers are closing shop?
They haven't raised prices, and have exceptional value and stability for the 2 years i've been using it.
I have no comment on their cable/entertainment industry. I'm paying like $36+ for basic cable, i think that sucks. Most of the channels are junk.
Optimize the configuration of your apps, os , and code.
If all of our code was tightly optimized for the tasks we have at hand in internet servers, over convenience and general flexibility, we would need much less horsepower under the hood.
I see highly optimized applications on a pc outperform similar apps on the largest enterprise sun machines, due to their great design.
We don't need 3000mhz to handle most of our applications, we need better code.
of course exceptions always apply, but im giving a general rule of thumb in the ISP/ASP industry. worst coding i've ever seen.
Damn maybe they'll start selling the cylons outfits again, those make for some krad halloween and general drunkeness costumers. Esp if it comes with the kewl vocoder voice changer.:)
i can see it now.. a bunch of kids running around
saying "ALL YOUR BASE ARE BELONG TO US"
use something like gnutella in a peer to peer fashing to locate irc bouncers which will point you to the rogue opennap servers..
combination of technology could make the servers exist in anonyminity.(sp)
Simple as that.
Move the napster servers to countries which dont give a damn about the RIAA and lawsuits. We'll be on them. You can't win. Just like warez-sites, they will always exist in one fashion or another.
Sure napsters' time will come and we'll be forced back to smaller scale music sharing, but this will only make us work harder to get what we want. And we will spite the RIAA even more.
Perhaps highly compressed indexed by year on dvd's?
think this would be possible? Large dictionary compression maybe?
I'd buy a set for my own use. I fear these archives are going to be commercialized to the point where end users may not be able to have free access to them any longer.
government run the site? shit i'm sure they'll figure a way to hook DCS up to it...
bleh
NAPSTER WILL BE 128KBPS or lower when commercial! SCREW THAT!
Napster will be copy protected, the items may not be transferrable or usable on other computers OR portable devices OR burnt to CDROM . without an additional fee!!
I told you so.
You don't take into consideration the backbone costs. BROADBAND providers bank on low utilization of their network backbone to make profitability.
The only way for ISPS to make money is to OVERSELL their bandwidth. Its been like this since day one of the internet.
DSL/cable providers bank on the fact that 90-99% of the time, you're link is going to be idle.
You really think a node of 255 high speed connections are going to be able to pump full bandwidth?
10 dsl lines at full bandwidth are consuming 15 megabits in theory. do the math. How much does it cost to get a 15 megabit pipe? A lot more than 15 times $39/month right?
Take that into realistic abuse patterns, if there are 1000 people pushing 1.5 megabits, wheres the profit? Its a loss.
There is no way for ISP's to make money without overselling about 10:1 probably closer to 20:1 of their available bandwidth.
This is why the korean (and others, sorry), are abusing their ISP's and i don't blame them. If i'm paying for $10,000 a month for a 15 megabit pipe, i have to be making $30K/month just to break even with overhead expenses (salary,support,building,equipment).
Lets go over this.
Who is going to pay the $1B? The users? yup.
What users?
Well the users who decide to pay the $9/month so they can download mp3's off other people who pay $9/month! Stupid.
Wait? I thought the new napster server will be a central server that you can leech off of unlimited? No thats emusic.com , soon to be another casaulty dot bomb.
Whose going to pay? Those that are stupid.
You can still use napster without a napster server. Napster is a frickin IRC server, The server software is available. Napigator and others will let you use your favourite "pir8" napster-based server for free still. These servers will run in countries where they can exist legally.
So whose going to pay this $1B? Well if they are lucky and get 10% of the subscriber base, that would be just fine and dandy.
Wait emusic already is trying to do this? They are failing. So why would napster succeed? They won't.
Are you going to pay $9/month to leech off others who pay $9/month? Hell no.
Better come up with a new business plan , napster. It's not realistic, it's not going to succeed.
This is the internet, we aren't going to pay for something that is already free.
Why not start charging to read and post at slashdot? Cause it would be out of business in a month.
and re-selling their high speed access.
I mean one customer, may have a couple of boxes at home tied to a network, so the family can surf.
but i'd bet a lot of folks in korea are so poor, they wire up buildings, blocks, etc, from one dsl line and are paying the personal use fees.
I do think its unfair to not allow 2-3 personal pc's to share a link, and how would they determine if you were NAT'ing?
but if you have like 3 or 4 neighbors or more leeching off the same line, come on. DSL doesn't make any money if you're flogging the bandwidth 24/7. Its hardly profitable at all as it is.
Would you stick an overclocked cpu into a NOC? nope. Matter of fact would you stick AMD products in a NOC? nope.
This might be a toy for the rich boys and girls, but otherwise, useless in business where reliability is number one.
Case in point: Serverworks Chipset for intel p3's. Spank anything that is available for the AMD, they even spank the memory throughput of the DDR chipsets for AMD, using SDRAM.

Back when i had a Trash-80 and apple, folks were renting games in the san jose.. man that brings back some old school memories..
all the major isp's now record your DNR phone # per call. Easy to trace via the ip and date and time. You'll need to get the isp and police involved.

Microsoft is retrieving sales receipts for all products sold in the past 3 years from ALL authorized microsoft sellers...

so where did it land?
