Since commercial developers seem to have unlimited ram, disc space and processing speed and creat bloated software. Maybe soon they will focus on good and efficient software design instead of time to market. Ofcause most successful open source software have good design already. =)
I've been in contact with KTHNOC and suggested to them that they put a null route to verisigns server and this is their response, basicly telling me to write politely to ICANN and/or apply patch to my DNSes.
So no need to bother them with any more questions.

Jag ser tva vagar:
1. Man stoppar in kod i namnservers som far dem att returnera NXDOMAIN pa wildcardfragor direkt under.COM/.NET.
Man har sagt mig att dylik kod lar dyka upp inom 48h for bla BIND9.

I have thought about how the future will handle DVD-Audio streams.
It took a while of awkward solutionds before we easily could make a copy of a DVD-Video. Merely because the encryption is lame. From what I've read the creators of DVD-Audio have learned (or adapted in Borg terms) and the encryption used in DVD-Audio disks are much heavier and thus to be able to rip the stream one would have to get the keys out of the disk much like a standalone player does because brute-forcing a DVD-audio with todays computers would take too long and the creators know it.
So I think when someone has made effort to actually read DVD Audio-discs in all it's gallore when the keys are found they will probably be published on hackers sites.
But noone can tell until we are here. Hopefully the DVD audio discs will be priced like todays music CDs and ordinary people can build a collection of original legal DVD audio discs. Who would prefer to have about two songs per CD instead everything on one disc.
I haven't tried DVD audio discs yet but I hope that they play just like a CD audio disc and not like a DVD video disk with menus and stuff like that because when I want to play music I just want to throw the disc in an listen, not fiddle around with FBI warnings, menus and stuff like that.
Visual studio dot net and GCC 3.2?!!
on
GCC 3.2 Released

Now that can't be a coincidence. GCC news with a Visual studio dot net banner. See top news at http://fredrik.rambris.com/ for a screenshot. Looks funny.
Ok so it's not the cheapest DVD player around but you get what you pay for (component video out, the best deinterlacer on the market and superb sound). On 99% of my discs I'm able to skip the trailers, FBI warnings etc. Some (I can't recollect which) don't work but there the stop-stop-play trick works. I have no problems with the Disney titles I have (both the Toy Stories). Now I'm not sure if it does that by default or if it is the region patch that makes it work. Regionfree is better tho.
I have two M$ Natural Keyboard Pro and I love 'em. With ordinary "strait";-) keyboards I get lame in my wrists, arms and shoulders after a while of typing. I can sit hours with my MNKs.
The first message ever transfered over what was to become Internet (it wasn't even ARPAnet at the time, I believe) was the three letters Log. It was the three first letters of Login: but the protocol stack crashed after three letters =).
Maybe the Microsoft brains crashed when they tried to type HTML and it became htm...

That's why we add .local or .lan or whatever to our bogus domains, not .com or the like.

A tad off topic but cool anyway.
