Instead of having this elaborate remapping scheme, why not take a roughly 40-bit range of IPv6 adresses and have that map directly to phone numbers? I know phone numbers in the US could be represented by 10 digits beginning with 1, which would need only 31 bits. (e.g. represent 1-555-555-1212 as the binary equivalent of 15555551212, which is 1110011111001011101101111111101100). Apply standard DNS on top of that.
Of course, I know that this would require global adoption of IPv6 to work, but I can dream, can't I?

You mean it was determined the kernel is going to be called 3.0 instead of being called 2.6 after all?
Do you have $5000? Pioneer does make an external SCSI model that does the same things (at least an external SCSI version of the DVR-A04 exists).
So does this mean we might see phones with 10BaseT RJ45 jacks in them?
Hollywood just needs to take the words of one of their own creations to heart.
"Why have trillions when you can have billions?"
(yeah, yeah, yeah...I know it's lame but it's SUPPOSED to be funny.....)
I read the Power4 has over 200 in flight through all 8 cores at any given time..
Actually, somebody did make a driver for the Nintendo Power Glove. Search Slashdot. It made it here.
Unfortunately for MSFT and HP, the people they're trying to sell it to are the people most likely to have the skills to build their own box.
So that's why XP runs so dang slow!
Then said geek watches in horror as their Palm blows up in the face of a /.ing, and the world gets to find out if computers do spark Star-Trek style.

And will this "Death Star" use a "laser" ?
(lame Dr. Evil reference...I know....)

Same idea, but the numbers are higher.
Gives new meaning to the term "peering point."
Shouldn't that be "All Your Base-Pairs Are Belong To Us"?
/me cowers in fear.
Hilary Rosen, circa 2025: "All your DNA are belong to us."
Again? You mean they ever do?
What data doesn't make a NT box eventually reboot?
This is weird. My Octane arrived the day this article was posted. I personally like 4dwm. Clean and simple.
If you read the quote more closely, you'd see that it's not an Octane 2 system....it's a dual-CPU Octane. It has 2 195 MHz MIPS R10000 CPUs.
Power5? /me scratches head, thinking Power4 just came out.
The Power5 is already for sale?
Faster to die, right?
Less noise until the 'click of death', right?
Off to have a chat with the President after all....
I figured it might come down to this.
However, how the heck do I convince them that it isn't? To Computing & Information Services, I'm just a student.
Nothing works except HTTP.
I think they even screwed up the prioritzation of DNS packets - websites time out like crazy.
