  1. Test case on Providers Ignoring DNS TTL? · · Score: 4, Insightful

    I'm a bit curious about this test case. It says the TTL was changed TO 24 hours and then checked to see how long it took for results to propogate. What was the TTL set to for these entries before the change? If it was set to 2 weeks and was just queried before the change occured, there is no reason for the server to recheck just because it was changed to 24 hours.

    The TTL should stay the same for a while and then try simply making a change without modifying any other configuration to avoid any other problems with this test.

  2. Re:School Policies??? on The Rise of Cyber Bullying · · Score: 1
    Are today's parents really that bad?
    Today's parents are always eager to let the government or some other standards group dictate what is right for their children. Web site blockers, movie/video game/tv ratings, schools teaching sex education. Letting the school try to invade extracurricular activities in an attempt to "safeguard" their children doesn't seem that out of place here.
  3. Re:sony sucks on Sony Shoots For 4-Filter CCD, 8 Megapixel Camera · · Score: 1

    FYI, somewhat amazingly, this camera also supports type I/II compactflash in addition to memory stick/memory stick pro. Be chained to proprietary media no more

  4. Re:Then why not buy it? on Miyazaki's Spirited Away U.S. Release · · Score: 1
    The DVD linked is a [probably taiwanese] bootleg, as can be seen by the inclusion of mandarin audio, and some other asian subtitles that weren't included in the original. Sure it is cheaper, but why buy anime when you don't support the studio?

    The nice thing about the japanese release is that they included english subtitles. Proper grammar even! (I have this dvd, but haven't watched it yet) You'll need a region 2 capable player though.

    Once it makes its way into the US region 1 market, expect to see it for $30 or less.

  5. Modified to support .debs? on RPM Dependency Graph · · Score: 4, Interesting

    I wonder how hard this would be to modify to use debian packages and dpkg instead of rpm. Anyone taken a look at the source?

  6. New leaner, healthier DivX version on Park Wars Released · · Score: 2
  7. Link moving sortof on Park Wars Released · · Score: 1

    I'm going to probably go into windows to watch a dvd (so i get working tv output... and my webserver happens to be my own machine..) so there is a new location for this mpeg version:

  8. A version for the rest of us on Park Wars Released · · Score: 4

    I just encoded an mpeg version available at:
    http://download.animedigita.com/parkwars/parkwars3 20.mpg (minus any spaces)

    It's 78megs right now...yeesh. MPEG-4 would be better.

  9. Napster users? on White House Files Amicus Brief Favoring RIAA · · Score: 1

    Even though I believe that under our current system Napster should be held responsible (at least the way the napster system is right now), isn't it interesting that the line in the post says that the activities of Napsters' USERS do not come within terms of the statute. I didn't read the whole brief, but isn't it quite obvious that Napster users are violating the act?

  10. Watch out on DNA-Based Steganography Wins Intel Education Award · · Score: 1

    And you thought Intel's p3 serial numbers were bad
    Maybe we can give each human a DNA serial number for "better shopping security"
