    but for the non anal of us, the continuity is fine

    And I want to say that both of us are real happy with the way things are.

  3. Oops on Faster Updates for DNS Root Servers Arrive · · Score: 1

    I responded to the title of this thread, which is incorrect, instead of the article. com and net servers are TLD servers, not ROOT servers.

    I still claim to understand DNS even though at times I simply cannot read.

    I don't think anyone actually knows how to work dns./I.

    I do.

    The root servers serve up the root zone, which is pointers to tld servers. I don't really think you want them doing dynamic dyn-dns. You were thinking of the com/net servers perhaps?

    Well, now ain't that something! "Many people", in this case, represents a tiny but annoyingly vocal segment of the American population. The vast majority has no desire whatsoever to ban gun ownership, and would never consider repealing the Second Amendment

    I don't think that would work. But, talk about bolding going where no woman has gone before... woah, porn with recognizable characters and decent acting and writing? But as I say I don't think it would work. I'd have to watch a few seasons to really get a good feel for it and I reserve judgement till then.

    Yes they are they're unwatchably bad; they're embarassing.

  9. Re:Summary of article... on Make Money Fast · · Score: 1

    I live way out in the country and the local grocery store UV checks EVERY bill. $5, $10, $50. I havn't seen a $100 in there in ages although the signs saying "we don't take $100 bills" aren't up any more. The $5 is the smallest denomination here, our $1 and $2 coins take care of that. Yes it's weird walking around with $15 change as a small handful of coins.

    Mom and pop places don't check bills but any reasonably sized store does. I always feel like some sort of criminal waiting for the girl to UV check a $5 bill when I'm trying to buy a loaf of bread.

    But it is devalued. Pretend there are one hundred people, one hundred dollars, and one hundred bananas in the world. If I counterfeit a dollar, then buy two bananas... somebody's going to go hungry.

    Except in the real world it goes more like this "Somebody on Ohio isn't gettning a third bigscreen TV".

    Nice try... Face the facts, you guys are stuck with us. The second you try to buddy up with the Europeans, GW will proclaim you a rogue state, that you are harboring terrorists, and that you are stockpiling WMD. Within a few months, we will bomb you, occupy you, and proclaim you liberated.

    A Sun 8-CPU machine costs them way more than $10k

    I havn't done supercomputer stuff since halcyon days of Convex in the 80's and know nothing about modern parallelism, but I was able to get some not that old Suns from anysystem.com via bay for rock bottom prices and am very very happy with them. $500 for an E400 and $1500 for an E4500 with a dozen processors and gigs of ram. I wouldn't call them fast but day-um they sure are immune to any load I can throw at them. Good value for money.

    They sure suck a lot of juice though.

  22. Re:An actual benefit to Sitefinder on Verisign's Lawsuit Against ICANN Dismissed · · Score: 1

    RFC1592: "Concerns about "rights" and "ownership" of domains are inappropriate"

    You don't own any domain, you recive a delegation from the parent zone and are subject to their whims and desires. NSI manages the root and com/net for the US Government and is subect to their whims and desires.

    It's not possible to own any domain. The best you can hope for is to set up a zone and hope people recognize and use it. We all agree where to get com NS records should be obtained from, but ownership in any tangible sense is specious.

    An earlier poster said, in a sense, "it doesn't have to be fair, it has to be legal" and while perhaps NSI should not in many peoples opinion wildcard .com, there was nothing preventing them from doing it. One would presume if they'd broken a law it would have been shut off right quick as it was with the case when Postel/Vixue/Gilmore switched the A root. Magaziner went bezerk and it was switched back in hours even though it might have been the right thing to do. That's the problem with the DNS right now, it's falled out of the hands of the net, in the sense of say the way usenet namespace is managed, and is a tool o the US government.

    So, while it may not have been an act of consensus that NSI should or should not do this you cannot point to anything in writint that says they can't. They voluntarily acked down after ICANN asked them a few times. At some point they may say "no" to ICANN and that's where it gets interesting.

    Death of the net NOT predicted. No film at 11.
