After I had setup a false internal TLD in our test lab I mentioned how easy it would be for someone to just build a simple plugin or something that would direct people to use a homebrew dns, then start selling.whatever to
whoever.
a few months after that conversation i saw (here iirc) the http://www.new.net announcement. Now its a reality. I think more people should be hosting their own dns tld and we should just be able to resolve different sets of dns depending on who we resolve through. I guess I'll have to set up my own tld dns server at home tonight and start using that in my sig.
Caching reverse proxies people . . . when we learn that you may survive a slashdotting with caching reverse proxies. Not to0 expensive either. shameless plug: purchase at volera
perhaps it is like knocking on doors, but in that case solicitors need to be kept in check as well. I hate it when people call me in the middle of dinner to tell me what great long distance rates I could be getting. I politely ask them back if a member of my ( MLM | religious cult | gang ) can contact them, I'm sure they are interested. Anyway I don't like port scanners hitting me either...kind of the same concept, but it's hard to put a NO SOLICITING sign up on an ip address
I agree. Let these things fail now, and hard. I think Hollywood and the Music industry have gotten greedy, or rather their greed is only now apparent. I wouldn't mind going back to small movie budgets and small local bands rather than the bloated pop that is thrown at our feet. I think a change is in the air. We probably wouldn't ruin so many talented artists by giving them more money than they think they could spend either.
How did they do that? Has anyone reverse compiled their software? Is some sort of arithmetic encoding? Why can't we be as cool, or is this just FUD? I want smaller audio files too, but GPL tools to build, and play them.
There's a difference between unrational behavior and just giving your lunch to a bully. Don't swing first unless you can swing last. At the rate the chinese decide stuff we could have our men out and then say sorry we had to kill a couple of those gaurds, you understand right?
Its the people who think that CNN is "right on" that really suck.
Actually maybe everyone should sign up for three or four accounts...and fill them with all the spam they can sign up for. I've already done my part, but perhaps this could be automated. I wonder how many pedabytes their whole system could really hold? I mean I just need 3-4 hundred thousand accounts full of pr0n mail.
Many CS students will also latch on to this quickly. At least the program I am in had to do some FPGA work. We built a UART from scratch and did some other dinky little projects, but at least we've been introduced to the technology. To me its like programming in scheme . . . I've done it but I'm not that great at it.
disclaimer- I'm not saying that you didn't get that speed from a true origin server, especially if you were using ftp.
that said I think that AT&T has the best setup in town by strategic caching. Just about any http object that you get REALLY fast is coming from a transparent caching proxy somwhere closer to you than you might imagine. Do a traceroute to see where the stops are between you and your data and you'll find a couple of gateways in between.
AT&T doesn't hide this from anyone. If you read the @home site they'll tell you that they use these. It actually saves everyone involved a lot of dough 'cause they check cache freshness if the cache ttl is expired just like you're supposed to, but they save buckets of money on bandwidth.
Anyway my point was that those incredible data rates are *many* times just local caches surging through an unimpeded AT&T network.
Back before Qwest bought USwest here in Utah, they actually refered to the cisco 675 as a router for a while. then it became a "modem". I think that's just so the unwashed masses won't wonder what a router is. I guess in a sense it actually is a sort of modem as well.
Offtopic - Aside from filtering capabilities, CBOS is the bomb . . . much quiter than the 486 I used to use, and much smaller.
That's what everyone says as they pick up their 20-30 extra American pounds and do something else. I mean there isn't really much news for nerds anymore. We've abstracted ourselves into oblivion. I can feel a grass-(er weed?) roots effort surging below inside of educators, professionals, and investors. We want a damn VCR that just works. KISS please! We want something that does stuff and doesn't suck. Can I get an AMEN.
Well personally I think I would have invented tons of stuff in the last 4-5 years if I hadn't spent so much time a a={reading/. | watching television | eating good food | driving cars | playing with others innovation in general}
It is supposed to be, but where is the line to be drawn? Is animosity illegal? If i hate someone I guess that's ok to do, but I can't really act on it (mostly) legally. I think that morally it is wrong to hate, and when you hate enough to harm, it then becomes illegal. Why do we have to wait until someone gets hurt? well its' easier to judge at that point.
It seems that the capitolist market strikes again. The market will always correct after it gets out of hand (.coms). Everyone knew it would happen, just not when. Good news is there is usually another positive swing before we congeal with a steady market. Advertising will still have to be the model, well I guess micropayments could survive, but how many people take PBS seriously. . .
Where exactly do you live? I'm graduating in April and looking for work all over the country. (my wife wants to move) That sounds like one of the happiest places on earth.
Speaking of working out of a garage, is there anyone that knows more about an open hardware projects??
I think it would be fun to have my OWN processor that I built or helped build running on my own hacked motherboard, with other standard components connected I suppose (that will make it a little cheaper).
I remember something about an open chip project, but I don't remember.

That is why America is the greatest nation on earth today. And while it will remain such for a while still

Maybe this whole dotNET thing has wasted to many resources for them. One can only dream.
Its always all about the benjamins. ***deep breath in**** ahhhhh don't you just love the smell of Capitalists in the morning.

Mod this up. . .This is good. You have to read his "resume" as well. This is really funny
For $150,000 on the side? Where do I sign up. I don't feel bad about taking MPAA monies.
I can see your point about limiting freedoms,
but I think that telling a gay person that you
hate 'faggots' in his face daily is a form of
(in the US at least) is supposed to be
gauranteed at least a shot at happiness
I know it sounds kind of corny, but if you think
about it hate destroys that freedom
for some people.
I do agree that you can preach hate.
I think the law only tries to make it illegal
when you preach hate at real people, as
opposed to a people in general.
I also was approaching this more from as a
moral standpoint than a legal issue
I think we should do that more as well. That
way we rely on lawyers less and things get
done more efficiently. Else we are destroyed
by hate. Legal fees, hate, jealousy, ignorance
this is not the legacy I want to
leave when i die. Don't hate, and don't do
things just because you can, or because its'
not illegal. Think, and act intelligently.
