holy crap! have you guys ever heard of http1.1? the reason you have such a hard time getting ips is that arin wants to cut down on webhosting companies that do not use http1.1.
i have to agree with arin on that too, with correct dns handling, http1.1 is a very viable method for webhosting and reduces both need and use of ip addesses.
btw, ipv4 is not exactly running out of ips soon. the ips are still there. they are running out of _allocatable_blocks_ of ips. if you look at the lower networks (4.0.0.0/8 is one) the utilization of ips is horrendous. older companies and organizations have been camped on huge amounts of ip addresses for the last 10-15 years. if arin bit the bullet and forced these internet first-comers (and heavy wallets) to relinquish ip space we would see the 'ipv4 crisis' go away.
i bought the full tower version of this case, at a whopping 220 bucks. it works great as far as cases go.
good:
well filtered intake fans
plenty of drive bays (9 3.5, 6 5.25)
looks pretty. very pretty.
the 6x bay on the bottom is easy to work with and sits directly in the path of the lower fan intake.
no included power supply (yes its good. i like my sparkle 350w)
might keep things cooler as advertised (untested)
front bezel pops off and provides good access
bad:
no extra filter sets for other intakes
case is too long, making drive bays hard to get to with standard ide/scsi cables from pci cards
cost prohibitive
cross-threading screws in aluminum is easy
i doubt that it really keeps things cooler
the front bezel pops off while carrying it to the
biggest lan party of the year. really crappy if you are holding it partly by the front bezel at the time.
over all i like it. there are just things you need to get used to, kinda like with anything new.
instead of asking you a few questions directly, i would like to solve them on my own with the best set of tools. what publications or literature would you recommend for:
the *bsd newbie or learner
the *bsd uber-know-it-all-i-dont-need-any-docs
i am trying to cut the signal/noise ratio out of understanding bsd. specifically, what security documentation have you found useful day-in/out?
(even at 25MB, but that's why we've got multiple T1s at work, right?)
actually, multiple t1s wont help you too much. the max download speed you can get is still 1.544Mb/s. tcp streams will only follow one path, and BGP will not help there. this is why a channelized ds3 (3Mb increments up to 45Mb) is so much nicer than multiple t1s. it _is_ a tad spendier however:)

this "every 26,000 years" thing might fly by some people without a correct explanation. it is called progression and is what happens while the earth slowly rotates around its 25.4 degree off-axis spin.
the earth spins around its axis like normal, that gives us a 24 hour day. but the axis is also spinning, ever so slowly. this gives about 26,000 years of progression, and also makes the stars shift their position relative to terrestrial viewers over the millenia.

NNTP was never designed as a medium to distribute binaries. The main problem right now is the large drive arrays required for a decent retention rate of all groups. The fact that NNTP servers need to hold the data in a central location that will end up being replicated by many other NNTP servers is also very inefficient. Think about NNTP as a worldwide RAID 1. It just isnt the best way to go for binary distribution.
Napster will always be better than NNTP (for binaries) due to the distributed file system inherent in Napster. There is no central server that costs 5 million bucks and requires an OC-3 for the amount of bandwidth it sucks. All the costs associated are carried by individuals (ISP, Telco, etc), and by half the people opting out at once, the whole system will not go down. If it was a news providership, it would fold in a minute. With napster such a loss is just a loss in availability of material; your selection of binaries will decrease. The system as a whole will persist though.
And persistence is part of how Stuff Gets Done [TM]

he more than likely didn't though. with bgp you will end up seeing a particular host on the internet only through one of their particular links.
the only really true (an impossible) way to map the internet is traces from all hosts to all other hosts. that way you get a full view of the picture, not one that is distorted by being on one node of the internet.
because of this one problem i think his maps should look like a tree and not a star. with a tree you get the more realistic view of only ONE viewing point.
that is still better than any internet maps i have seen before:) hats off to the men who do things!
