That's interesting.
100 x ( 4+4+2+2 [socket data] ) * 2 = 2400bytes for 100 NAT sockets
I would have hoped that there would be more memory dedicated for NAT states.

You have a good point here. Everyone will soon know what these routers are and it might act as a bit of publicity for the company. Might be negative in some ways, as a home networking product it could help promote their brand name.
It's an interesting idea.
On the other hand, a network router should maintain uptime in excess of years, it's not a difficult task to route packets after all, just a few bit comparisons and a protocol stack. I work in an environment where some gateways and proxies have uptimes in excess of 8 years! So you're quite correct in the reboot principle.
Home NAT/routers are not enterprise equipment though, their intended uptime is in the region of weeks and months, not years.
Phase two, would be paying for a botnet to do the number crunching to decrypt. It's 1024bit right, so with a large enough botnet that could be worked out in maybe a month - that's if every computer in the world was infected.
I've heard of companies getting their databases infected by viruses, and that's the sort of company that provides electronic transactions, so this seems like it has the potential to really screw some people over, obviously.
We don't need anything special for that. We have perl. Reply here if you want me to write it for you. But it doesn't take a huge amount of effort, just read the stdin for hrefs and do a lookup, then write the output to stdout.
#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;
use Net::DNS;
my %hosts;
sub lookup {
my $res = Net::DNS::Resolver->new;
my $query = $res->search( shift );
if ($query) {
foreach my $rr ($query->answer) {
next unless( $rr->type eq "A" );
return( $rr->address );
}
}
else {
warn "query failed: ", $res->errorstring, "\n";
}
}
Time for you mental midgets to start remembering IP addresses. Do your own damn cacheing.
It's a JOKE! Alright? Well, it's not such a silly idea. When I look at my firefox 3 smart book marks, there are maybe 5 pages that I go to regularly. Anything else I can see using google page cache. So what's the big deal, having those few sites in a local hosts file isn't so much of a task.
In other words, while it makes me money I like it. It's nothing different from other corporations. So obviously, he doesn't have enough money to live yet then. One of the things about the internet is that it levels the playing field. But in relation to music, what's the big deal, hardly anyone buys a single or album to listen to a specific track, they buy it in support of the artist. Let youtube distribute the music and let people go and get the album so they can listen to the variety of the music that the artist has on offer.
It's pretty obvious since vendors have to do more work and package another release to fix bugs. It's easier to keep this information secret and just bundle all the bug fixes into a bulk package when it suits the vendor (I expect money comes into this equation somewhere).

There are some contracts out there that on the surface appear to be reasonable deals. The contract that I have costs 15.50 (GBP)/month. This covers me for 200 text messages and 200 minutes of air time.
So,
echo '1550/200' | bc -l 7.75
per text. Not so great is it.
However, I also pay 7.50 (GBP) for unlimited data on EGPRS/HSDPA. Sadly though my mobile cannot do HSDPA, so it's still rather limited and the cost of improving the modem would be too much for me.
Unfortunately a lot of people shove things into a PHP script in an ad-hoc manner. It's time the general people realise what their scripts are doing. I just wish people would pay attention to how mail() works...
I thought that was Tsar? - I don't have ru on my xkeyb layout at the moment so I can't use the correct characters, but I think that's the word you're after.
That's *EXACTLY* what I was thinking, why didn't this get tagged IRAA? Seems like it got through the firehose a little too quick - it used to be that the tags were funnier than the article itself.
The Su-37 is a pretty good plane too, I don't know why the USA doesn't outsource the development of the planes to Moscow since it's gotta be a cheaper work force. Really impressive, since USA and Rus are pretty much fighting terrorism rather than communism vs capitalism...
Check out the vids on youtube, it's really impressive.
When I was in Czech I noticed that most of the country's tele comm backbone is wireless and from apartment block to apartment block. I wonder just how similar this is in Moscow and other places where it is difficult to get a line plant. This could be a lot of work for administration people.
This might be true, but there have many cases where trusted encyclopedias have been wrong, even after all the vetting. The other fault with paper encyclopedias is that they go out of date rather quickly, especially in medicine and computing. The fact is, there is a human element to the edition, either electronic on wikipedia or in print. Use the golden rule of any research and get multiple sources of information.

Just like viruses and worms, slashdot has it's share of dupes. Just like the number of people who posted here to complain that it's a dupe.
