Bind has been around since the dawn of Vint Cerf's IP, but it has been redesigned and rewritten several times. The RFC that says replies go via UDP make it a security risk, but also make the net work better.
In 2007, where 1000,s of "researchers" spend their lives trying to break the Internet.... This stuff happens. BIND, SendMail and classic solutions are attacked. Amazingly they hold up better than Windows!
"No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws."
The U.S. Supreme Court has generally extended these rights to actions by the Federal Govenment since the 20th century.
Even recent movie "Grindhouse" by Rodrigez and Tarantino, in which Tarantino touted his feature "Death Proof" as mostly old school stunt drivng, was paired with Rodrigez's "Planent Terror" that used obvious CGI to replace an actress's leg with a machine gun.
They have lots of 10's to 100's of MB downloads that are compressed already, so provider compression won't help. Of course if the file is in a squid cache, nothing upstream matters. (download Mac OS X 10.4.3, not iTunes 7.3).
I been a programmer for many years. I am disabled (problems using my hands and arms) and can't drive at present. I live the SF Bay Area. Think I can contribute to many companies, but does anyone have any ideas about getting hired? This is the barrier I've encountered.
I hate to reply to my own comment, but to have an opinion moderated as "Flamebait" because it challenges the Free Software Foundation in a respectful way seems extreme.
I agree the GPL is a great tool to prevent fragmentation of major projects like gcc and the Linux kernel; but I think it should not be dogmatically applied to all Open Source software. A recent addition to TFA shows the GPLers may not be the saints they claim to be. I also think the OpenBSD developer was disrespectful and arguably in violation of the GPL.
I think most Open Source types are on the same side. I like Stallman because of his brilliant invention of Emacs on the PDP-10, even though it's before a lot of you "flamers" were out of diapers; otherwise we're stuck Bill Joy's vi, ugh.
The "copy left" zealots are now attacking every Open Source license other than theirs.
Not too many years ago xBSD code was "reaped" and GPL'ed, albeit perfectly legally. Just as Microsoft and Apple have done. The code there to help friend or foe.
I hope it is true a double license was offered to OpenBSD - the right thing to do. I understand why major GPL projects like gcc and gdb should remain that, as well the Linux kernel. But this case is a few lines in a driver...
Some researchers think human's are "blocked tetrachromats". The fourth group of cones in this case is in the near ultra-violet, not refining green, yellow and red. Further, the lens of a normal human eye absorbs those UV wavelengths so strongly that the UV cones mostly see dark. Only when the lens is removed, as cataract surgery, are the UV cones activated.
I don't know how accepted this theory is, plus current physiology can't fully map the nerves of the retina to the brain.
The occipital lobe of the brain (visual processing) - even in adults - can retrain itself to flip the view after wearing inverting glasses, ignore the distortion from "progressive" glasses (for old people like me) and quickly compensate for different colored lighting.
It seems quite possible a mouse's brain could classify groups of cones, especially since they would be obvious from birth on.
The article's title is the "Killing of WiFi" and there not one word about how the telco's are going to do it. Jam the 2.4 GHz ISM band? Sue cities that offer free WiFi? Get the Congress to ban free WiFi?
I would side with "et cetera", or (if I remember my Latin) "and the rest". The rest of the stuff that *nix needs to run.
/var is system-specific read-write stuff; you can (rarely) have a network file system (NFS) *nix system with a common/etc (hardly ever written to), but always requiring a local/var (as well as/tmp).
In 2001 eBay hired Accenture (perhaps because a certain V.P.'s husband worked there). Accenture recommended "improving" their quality assurance department by laying off 25% of the staff.
At the time, eBay was growing rapidly, was very profitable... and was struggling with QA keeping up with rapid deployment of new features.
Microsoft has encouraged this obviously illegal tactic by its Vista License:
1) Too many variants
2) Too expensive an upgrade from XP
3) Limitation on which versions run virtualized.
Sadly, for MS, they have not emphasized it can creditably replace a several hundred dollar Nuance Dragon Naturally Speaking install (I know, I've tried both)
The article said superconducting circuits generate no heat. This true for a wire, i.e. resistance is effectively zero. But once switching and useful computing occurs, information theory requires heat be generated. You know, thermodynamic and all that.
Someone already moderated this as "Troll", and I won't disagree.
IBM never intended to compete fully with Intel and AMD for the desktop market considering Apple's 5% market share. On the other hand, IBM appears determined to continue with improved Power processors for their high-end desktop and server market -- as well as the imbedded market which now includes highly visible gaming consoles, but it has been around for over a decade.
Also PA SEMI has a great new low power PowerPC chip.
The x86 hardware is not that bad, especially when running AMD's 64-bit extensions.
Cisco and their ike need to throttle / drop stuff like this. The (unlucky) 13 root servers are single IP addresses, although they already multi-homed and special cases for the backbone switch routers.
The backbone can simply throttle back DNS UDP traffic and drop packets coming too often from any given source IP address. Look it's 2007, not Vint Cerf noodling in 1985!

I don't think the old days are come back...

If the US. Attorneys don't toe the Gates / Ballmer line - fire their poor little asses!
Wait... Has this been done bofore?
Tom work's on hard 2-D graphics stuff, most recently camera RAW; I would assume also put in a bit on LightRoom
John just won his second Oscar at ILM, h's a luminary in a different field.
Expirey is not a word - expiry is, although mostly in non North American English. It means "expiration date", but is fewer letters.
If you're disabled with respect to your hands and arms... how do you code?
I normally use a mouthstick to type and a "foot mouse" to move and click.
Regarding being mod'ed down as offtopic, TFA mentioned a disabled programmer - I was following up on that person.

Sounds like the SCO suit against IBM.

OK, "Reflections of the life you took from me..."

Accenture is the "kiss of death"'!
At this point, I think the US Supreme Court should draw a line, once and for all.
