I have a server in the basement reusing an old motherboard that doesn't do lba-48 addressing. I replaced the first drive with an old SSD disk from a dead camera and put a custom complied linux boot kernel on it that used the sata/ata instead of the old ide interface to access drives. (/boot) Then I placed a 500GB drive on the second ide interface.
The system initially boots the kernel in the bios's older lba mode from the camera disk then switches to the kernel's lba48 accessing then runs off the 500GB drive.
Yes, I could have used an older drive for this trick but they were kind of noisy.
Hierarchy is inheritant in IP and DNS but alternate schemes are possible. Hierarchy implies that there are key points to tap.
Meshes and other topologies are quite workable BUT if more than one path exists from "A" to "B" taping becomes more problematic and nation states tend to get upset.
Consider a water system. With grid layouts the water can take many paths from "A" to "B". The IP basis of the Internet as currently designed doesn't lend itself to such alternatives. In most cases only ONE PATH is permitted.
So, key on alternatives for DNS for a second and play some what-ifs.
Example - multi-hierarchy with no DNS
Say you need an unique address but don't want to get your name from some server or have a registry (something that implies some sort of hierarchical structure).
What is needed: Some number that can locate your device. That number should contain a key for your provider (so you can hit the proper network) or some sort of wireless channel and something for location within the provider space AND do all this without a DNS type service and be unique
One interesting way to generate this on chip would go something like this: GPS, to get a world surface coordinate altimeter to get an altitude (you might be in an apt. complex or the device be part of a stereo stack) a random number (in-case more than one device is within the GPS/alt/carrier resolution) a carrier number to represent the carrier (sbc etc..) Then some alg. to put all these numbers together into a nice IP like ID.
When the device it turned on it might or might not register with its carrier. If the device is mobile and the carrier is wireless the information would help the carrier in maintaining paging tables for the device... as the device number changed with movement.
Either way you end up with a geographic divide and conquer to access the device and short cuts are possible between nets. In addition it opens the way up for geographical meshes and solids instead of binary tree hierarchies.
Tapping would be much much tougher. Multipath would be a speed multiplier too.
I was working on the KVM (like xen a virtual machine for linux) at home and posted some questions to the linux mailing list. Google contacted me and after back and forth discussions asked for a resume. When they figured out approximately how old I was (I am 51) from the resume work history they said I didn't meet their qualifications and they were not interested. Kind of strange as they contacted me out of the blue. Its not like I tried to get a job with them.
I find that sort of action very insulting.
I have seen similar actions from many companies.
If they notice me doing something and contact me then discover my age and say something is wrong with me, isn't that an act of violence or a hate crime?
Walk into the offending PC-WORLD store with PLAN-9 on a bunch of USB keys and proceed to install it on all their demo machines while pretending to look at them. Then exit the store.
They will never figure out what they are looking at. Maybe even pray for Linux.
If the shuttle burns up on entry from these chipped and cracked tiles that could have been fixed...
The proper action would be to throw the NASA staff who made the decision not to fix it out of an aircraft at a high altitude without chutes or other means of rescue...

Russian ABM system currently installed with Nuclear Warheads.
ABM-4 Gorgon - installed 1983/84 - still operational Exo-atmospheric (upper-tier) interceptor Range: 350 km. (320 km.) Warhead: Nuclear (1 Mt) ABM interceptor missile introduced in the mid 1980s. Improved ABM-1b, based in silos surrounding Moscow.
ABM-3 Gazelle - installed 1984 - still operational Endo-atmospheric (lower-tier) interceptor Range: 80 km. Warhead: Nuclear (10 kt) Short-range ABM interceptor missile which was first introduced in the mid 1980s, tasked with destroying the ballistic missiles that will evade the ABM-1 interceptors. Similar in design and mission to the U.S. Sprint missile.
ABM-2 - status unknown A backup development for the ABM-3, which included various improvements over the ABM-1. It was under development during the early 1970s, probably along with the prototype of the ABM-3 (ABM-X-3), and was apparently discarded after the success of the ABM-3. No other information is available on this ABM system.
ABM-1 Galosh - 1960 - ? (assumed no longer operational) a and b variants Exo-atmospheric (upper-tier) interceptor Range: 322 km. Warhead: Nuclear ((2 - 3 Mt) ABM interceptor missile introduced in the 1960s which is using mechanically steered radars for guidance and a high yield nuclear warhead, very similar in performance to the American made Nike-Zeus. The improved version was introduced in the mid 1970s. Both of these missiles are replaced by the newer ABM-4 missile, introduced in the mid 1980s, as a part of the new A-135 ABM system.
V-1000 - 1960 - no longer operational Range: 250 km. Warhead: Nuclear (unknown)
The SA-5 Griffon is the first Russian ABM missile. Its development started in the late 1950s, while the first launch sites were activated in the early 1960s near the Estonian capital Tallinn and Leningrad. After a short time these were replaced by the improved Gammon.
It was the first Russian ABM which was tested at the Sary Shagan test range in Kazahstan. Although this was just an experimental model it was deployed in a number of launch sites until the development of the ABM-1. The SA-5 Griffon was also the precursor of the SA-5 Gammon SAM which was developed later.

details on: Gorgon (SH-11/ABM-4)
The Gorgon (SH-11/ABM-4), also known by its Russian designation, 51T6, is a long-range interceptor missile designed and manufactured by the Soviet Union.(1) At present, 32 Gorgon interceptors are deployed around Moscow as part of System A-135.
As the exoatmospheric tier of System A-135, the Gorgon was designed to detonate a 1-megaton nuclear warhead just outside the Earth's atmosphere and destroy any incoming ballistic missiles descending upon Moscow. In the event of an attack on Moscow, the idea was that the Gorgons would serve as a first line of defense and, if any warheads managed to evade them, the short-range Gazelle interceptors would provide a second layer of protection.(5)
Russia Tests Modernized Missile Defense System
November 29, 2004:: Itar-Tass:: News
Russia today conducted a successful test of an upgraded version of its A-135 ballistic missile defense system. The test took place at the Sary Shagan Missile Range, located in Kazakhstan. Defense Minister Sergey Ivanov described the test as flawless: "The missile accurately hit the training target." Putin was reported as having responded to the test, saying "Good, congratulations." According to RIA Novosti, Ivanov also said that "We intend to upgrade and modernize the anti-ballistic missile defense system further."
The A-135 system, based around and designed to defend Moscow and the surrounding areas, consists of two interceptor missiles, the short range "Gazelle" and the long range "Gorgon."

They might have a kludgy way for Mac's to work in a degraded mode but linux and bsd and other os's just wouldn't work. That would include PayPal so you would not be able to donate to your favorite OpenSource Software writer or Blog.
There are some major issues that need discussion here.
1) Entrapment! Entertainment being part of the culture - the insanely long copyrights (currently 130 years) deny legal access to culture to the in-mature young. (Sort of like holding drugs in front of addicts then arresting them when they use them.)
2) Peer pressure is extreme in the college environments. I remember being shocked when the oldest son was in UCLA. Each floor had its SHARING SERVERS and everybody knew when the latest booty was there. - Again, we need to revisit what all these laws mean in a criminal and social sense.
Are all High School and College Students to be declared DEFACTO criminals just like the justice systems assume ALL DRIVERS ARE SPEEDERS?
Should the whole nation be declared criminal of something and put in jail?
3) What does it say about Big Business when they are putting the nation's FUTURE (in this case a young woman from MIT who can contribute to both Firms and the Nation out of the talented workforce for downloading a $1 song?)Short sighted comes to mind.
4) It reminds me of the the RIAA trying to put soldiers in Jail as they went off to fight the Iraq war. AMAZING comes to mind. Also, small minds in Hollyweed!
5) This criminalization of life reached another stage in a LA suburb a few weeks ago when they banned smoking tobacco outside with a $1,000 fine. The fine for smoking a joint in public was about $50! A factor of 20 less. What gives?
Anyway... we need to discuss appropriate fines and sentences for everything and behaviors of big business and big government in trying to make living life illegal and MAKING TAX PAYERS (not big biz which doesn't pay taxes) pay to convict and jail all these folks.
Back in the mid-90s, the boys in the executive suites of the entertainment industry did liberally dust both sides of the aisles of Congress with gold. In return they got a massive extension on the copyright period. All at the same time they continue to cook the books on accounting. They still charge music artist for 'breakage' in their write offs. Ever seen an AOL or Earthlink CD damaged in the mail? As far as I'm concerned the entire lot needs to have RICO dropped on them cause it'll take the executives' treasury rather than the business'. No prisoners taken. Oh, and demand of your quaking Pub representative concerned about November to repeal the G*D* Sonny Bono Copyright Extension Act.
BTW... I am surprised that our immature young people have not taken revenge on the RIAA and MPAA. It says something about them when compared to the Riots in France or the Car Swarms in the Mideast. That, being they are basically good kids.... We need a way to change behaviors of them, society and business without wasting their lives and taxpayer pocketbooks!
/end rant
You may flame away on principle but think about the waste. Drug dealers, robbers and killers are not treated as bad as we are starting to treat people who commit more minor infractions.
Dhimmitude is the status that Islamic law, the Sharia, mandates for non-Muslims, primarily Jews and Christians. Dhimmis, "protected people," are free to practice their religion in a Sharia regime, but are made subject to a number of humiliating regulations designed to enforce the Qur'an's command that they "feel themselves subdued" (Sura 9:29). This denial of equality of rights and dignity remains part of the Sharia, and, as such, are part of the law that global jihadists are laboring to impose everywhere, ultimately on the entire human race.
The dhimmi attitude of chastened subservience has entered into Western academic study of Islam, and from there into journalism, textbooks, and the popular discourse. One must not point out the depredations of jihad and dhimmitude; to do so would offend the multiculturalist ethos that prevails everywhere today.
