  1. Don't worry, AT&T has dealt with this before on Angry AT&T Customers May Disrupt Service · · Score: 1

    AT&T knows how to bullshit and cover when their network has a massive failure and they were doing it decades before everyone else.

  6. Multiple, parallel, DNS server settings? on How Does the New Google DNS Perform? (and Why?) · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I suspect this has been asked before. Is there some way to set up multiple DNS servers and simply query them in parallel?

    That way whichever one is fastest gets me the address sooner. It is a little bit rude, but since it would seem that most DNS providers have the opportunity to be shady and feed landing pages or collect usage data, they'd be just as happy to have me make a request and discard the answer.

  7. Re:The Grotesquely Ugly Truth on Iran Slows Internet Access Before Student Protests · · Score: 1

    Thanks for taking your time to post a follow up. You addressed my concerns.

    Is see your point about education. A well educated populace stands a better chance of winning without bloodshed and is smart enough to understand that the current regime has few options except to go down fighting.

    Suggest quoting, your parent was moderated -1 and AC (dunno why, it was a decent post) so your responses made even less sense.

    Answer: Yes, 15%-18%. In every single poll on the internet I have seen almost the same number.

    Wonderfully accurate source.

    People in Iran do not have gun and it is illegal to have it.

    It's probably also illegal to commit murder, so I don't think that illegally possessing a firearm is really the key law in play here. If you think you need a gun to kill someone you're not even really trying to examine the problem.

    Besides Iranian society is considered an educated community (3.5 million are in universities from which 60% are women).

    What does the education level have to do with the opposition to the government? I have seen people who never completed primary school oppose the government as vehemently as anarchists with doctorates and people who have never completed primary school wave a flag just as well as doctoral grads working for the establishment.

    I do something similar, but its the default output of pwgen. All I have to do is recall the first few syllables, the general grid location of the password, or just a part of the password.

    I carry this around in my wallet, sure my password is on there, but with no real frame of reference its hard to decipher and make a guess.

    Also, suggest printing with a fixed width font.

    Of course, in order for NASA to do that sort of stuff, it needs a lot more money than it has now. Personally, I'd like to see NASA get at least 2% of the total budget, which is more than 3 times what it gets now, but I seem to be in the minority on that one.

    No I agree with you entirely. I just think that we should shrink the federal budget so that NASA's current allocation is 2% of that budget.
