  1. soo? on Neural Net Routers To Speed Up Net · · Score: 1

    So we got fast routers and nice pipes for the people who can afford them. The end user (us) is probably NEVER going to see the speed increase as most of us are on dial-up. Instead of making new routers and new laser technologies for people who can afford them come up with a new low priced connection for the end user that will allow him to take advantage of the already abundant bandwidth.

    Cable's nice, DSL is too (where it's available) but with people like UUNET installing oc-192's I think we need a new home internet connection that will allow us to get much better speeds.

    Oh come on guys..stop complaining!
    Slashdot is trying to do a good thing by selling a book and raising money to help people. I'm sure that 99% of you couldn't pick your specific comment out of the book. This was a tragic event and we must document all sides to make sure it doesnt happen again. Lost of innocent people lost their lives and lots of you had good stuff to say about our society and what's wrong with it. These are good and should be published even if you dont get credit. So stop your bitching

    Um..Since the internet is a huge network if someone monitors 1 part of it arent they monitoring the whole thing? So now russia will be monitoring the whole world. Since traffic usually takes the wierdist routes some has to go through russia. Does the law say anything about monitoring just russia's citizen's traffic or ANY traffic that passes through russia?

    This doesnt make sense. Why arent they breaking down the doors of xing for not encrypting their key? This guy did nothing wrong besides piss off the wrong company (group?). MPAA should stop crying cause some "31337 h4xx0r" cracked their weak encryption in the first place. It's time that they finally recgonize linux. What do they think they are gonna find on his machines anyway? Just like big brother(tm) to break down the door and take all of your stuff cause you did something that they dont like.

    our webpage isn't complete. We decided that making the control pannel and getting the server ready is more important than the webpage.

  20. My $0.2 on On The Subject of Web Hosting · · Score: 1

    *ad*
    I just had to jump in here. I work for a hosting company (bytehosting.com). We have a dedicated server located at digitaNation, the best dedicated server host we could find. They offer 4 physically seperate dns servers for us to use besides our own. They email us the exact SECOND that ftp/dns/www/telnet/ssh/mail goes down. They have physically seperate connections coming into the building. Its a pretty inpressive setup. Anyway...

    We offer small packages for little websites (10 megs of space, 500 megs of bandwidth: $6.00), another one for bigger sites (50 megs of space, 1.5 gigs of bandwidth: $13.50). One for medium large sites (75 megs, 2.5 gigs of bandwidth, $19.95) and one for large sites (250 megs of space, 4 gigs of bandwidth: $26.50)

    We offer,
    anonymous ftp
    apache 1.3.6
    web admin
    cgi-bin (w/ perl)
    online web stats
    mailing lists
    java chat rooms
    preinstalled cgi scripts
    subdomains (varies by account)
    php3
    frontpage (coming soon, still evaluating security)
    ASP (coming soon)

    All accounts are hosted on a 400mhz machine with 128 megs of ram running rh6.1 and a dedicated 10mbps switched connection to digitalNation's backbone. We will NEVER have more than 50-60 accounts on a box. At that time (or when we deem nessicary, ie: large site moves in and is extremely processor hungry) we will be purchasing another machine so that they dont get over loaded. If there is expressed intrest we might add a NT machine later this year.

    Any perl modules you want installed will be installed and our admins are down to earth guys who know you may not fit any one of these plans. We'll work with you to create the best possible web hosting plan.

    In short. We are a great hosting company. My web design company (who is hosted there) has been between several hosts before. This services offers us all we need.

    if you want a detailed pricing plan you can go to:
    http://www.bytehosting.com/plans_vhost.htm
    i know our website isnt up yet but we have been busy building our control pannel and getting the machine ready.

    give us a try: http://www.bytehosting.com

    p.s.
    stay FAR FAR FAR away from WHHQ (http://www.whhq.net)..we were gonna switch there but after 4 months of waiting for them to setup our account we cancled payment and found another host. Using their poorly written control pannel i was able to get a list of accounts. ~10000 domains on 1 machine..and its slower than can be

  25. My 2 cents on Australian Government Cracks Down on Net Users · · Score: 1

    When I first read this I didnt really care. But I read it again and realized that someone was smokin' some bad weed or something. How the hell did this government get elected? There has to be some australians willing to stand up for what they believe in and get this government taken down (legally). The have no reguard for what the people want. Yes..the net can be a bad place. If you know where to look. I find that I seldomly "trip over" pr0n or hate sites. 99% of the time if you just look at the domain you are being sent to you can tell if its a porn site or not. Besides...NO filter can get 100%. I dont care if you have a list of good sites there will ALWAYS be a way around it. There is still email with fly by night sites. There are still sites like www.noproxy.com which allow you to bypass it. There are still perl scripts written allowing you to do a noproxy.com on any server you want. This isnt about protecting our kids. It's that parents now adays are just too damn lazy to spend time with their kids and teach them right from wrong. I myself im a 16 year old kid (young adult :) and i feel that parents now adays are just too busy thinking about making money and working than having fun and spending quality time with their kids. I know my parents are just too damn tired to spend any time with us after working long days. The burdon of all of this is on the parents. Frankly my parents dont care what i do on the net. Not cause they are bad people its just that they know i will make good decisions.
