I was referring to root DNS servers. The number will grow larger than 13 and continue to grow because you don't need to fit them all in.
A typical setup I come across for those running DNS servers. They have their own DNS authoritative for their domain which forwards requests to their ISP. Depending on the quality of the ISP their DNS servers will refer to the root servers but this is an unlikely scenario. Instead it gets passed to another provider and their DNS servers will forward and eventually if it still cannot be resolved it will go back to the root DNS servers. In such a scenario you don't need to query all of them at once, so why would it matter?
I would agree with your statement, except for the fact that World War II was fought by everybody. Even if you ignore the other countries involved you have the Navajo running communications, every color imaginable in the infantry.
I will admit I do prefer to give everyone the benefit of the doubt and I always judge them after I get to know them. Of course there are preconceived notions but I will not let them interfere with meeting someone new.
Maybe I'm a lot more rare than I think, I know not everyone agrees with me and that's quite alright, what I like and hate about freedom of speech.
You say that like a diverse culture doesn't mean a unified one. I wouldn't consider them mutually exclusive.
People come here from countries where they were a lot worse off and work their asses off to become successful here. That has got to influence how people around them react. I know when I am with a group of hard working people I will work harder, same goes when I'm around a bunch of slackers.
Diversity almost limits our surprise, we know for the most part not to underestimate someone because of where they are from, well, we as in people like me. I know people of a great many ethnic backgrounds and I believe I have been educated by them about other cultures, I see that as a strength as well. Hard to be ignorant of a culture that surrounds me.
Glad someone recognizes on here that American diversity is what makes us so strong. We are influenced both positively and negatively by every culture there is.
I live in Phoenix, AZ. For population as diverse as we have here we do have very few problems. After 9/11 we had the one guy kill this sikh guy cause he was an ignorant red neck, something this country also has. After this happened there were rallies all over this city which includes Phoenix, Tempe, Mesa, Scottsdale, Glendale, Chandler, and all the other smaller cities that are really all contained in this one valley. These rallies were not about hate, but about promoting diversity and truly people who have immigrated from all over, people that were born here directly descended from immigrants, and natives were all together learning from each other. I have a muslim friend here who once a month goes out with a couple of friends of hers and puts on an awareness night teaching about her beliefs.
Back to the issue though, our culture relies on the people within it. In a company if you don't know how to help someone you direct them to someone else simply. I have delt with more than a few people providing support for Microsoft, Dell, and Gateway, some of them in India, some right here in the U.S. Besides the sometimes high language barrier they seem to have a problem with escalating. I don't think its a uniform form problem but my friend in Scotland has had a similar experience trying to get help from her ISP. You call them up and they won't know the answer to your problem cause well, you're a geek and only call when there is a real problem. The person on the other end will refuse to pass you on to someone else saying again and again "No, you are my customer" Like I said, I don't think this is uniform, but I wonder if its just a few idiots we've come across or if its a cultural no-no to ask someone else to help with a problem. Are companies there setup to frown on escalation?
I don't know, I'm pretty understanding of a lot of cultures but the Indians I have for neighbors don't seem very friendly so I haven't been properly educated. My Korean best friend spent a lot of time teaching me about her religion and would often take me to eat at her brother's restaurant.
I'll look forward to meeting an Indian with as must interest in educating me.
Amazing how some common sense practices that an admin performs can save so much time and effort. Everybody gets these worms and yet admins with common sense just see infection attempts on their gateway.
Seriously, NAVCE is awesome. As long as the machine is joined to the domain you can remote install the client to 5000 machines in about two hours. That's pretty amazing.
I here about all these viruses and worms and not a one of my networks is ever effected. Oh well, maybe one day more people will realize the right tool for the job and employ multiple types of servers instead of a single platform. Interoperability can be a problem but its far less than a single vulnerability effecting an entire organization.
Course Interoperability is a snap if a company has enough money to afford some Netware licenses. Every OS can interface with! Makes interopating so damned easy I'm not sure why people fight with Samba after every release of Windows.
Your figures seem the most accurate thus far, except it ignores the cost of training the Admins or just plain hiring better Admins!
If a company is that effected by a virus they need to seriously consider redesigning their network.
I think a big flaw in most networks is a homogenous network, all Windows, all Linux, all Unix. A long time ago I took a net security class. My professor had it right, he said, "never rely on a single manufacturer of a firewall."
I take it a step further and expand it. If your company needs Outlook on its desktop then run a back end Exchange server and use sendmail for an MTA. Then in any single instance you will still be able to continue on with your business.
In the case of firewalls all too many companies tend to rely on Cisco or Checkpoint and since no firewall is bullet proof its best to use both!
In a large organization this can and does happen, its a shame it doesn't happen more. I think this new security awareness has made corporations think about this aspect a lot more.
I have it on good authority that Holiday Inn and the rest of the Six Continent hotels will require that their guest networks follow the guidelines I listed above.
Here's hoping things will change for the better! Sure it will put some IT guys out of business, but the smart ones will survive along with the ones willing to learn.
You are referring to the DNS order. For most people filled out automatically by DHCP but obviously can be manually reconfigured .
The same thing can be done in Windows by modifying the DNS settings in the TCP/IP configuration of the network connection used.
You are missing the point, the United States government funded a LOT of the research that went into creating the Internet, obvious they had help from people around the world. But for a while the fastest growing Internet populous was the United States. Now the rest of the world has picked up the pace and a few countries have surpassed the pace. The DNS servers aren't being spread across the world, there are just plain more of them. Its nothing but a great thing for it will allow for an even larger capacity and greater ability to sustain a DoS attack.
I'd say its a great day for the whole Internet community as a whole. I am an American and I have no problem with spreading the control over as many countries as possible seeing how so much can change in so little time here it just makes sense. Changes to the system will take longer which can be considered both a positive and negative depending on if you like how everything works now.
Sorry to inform you that there are ignorant people in every country. People that are only concerned with the immediate fascinity.
I believe is was Dan Quayle that said they speak Latin in Latin America and well, he's a moron just like Bush Jr. I'm ashamed such a person came to power, I was 4 months shy of being able to vote for that election and I will definitely be working to ensure he doesn't stay in office.
At any rate there are stereotypes people keep about others, some people reject them and some people don't.
Back to the real topic of DNS servers, I'm glad to see that the rest of the world is integrating themselves into the Internet. The system is inherently stronger with more people connected to it. Plus, imagine a couple hundred million more people using Bittorrent! mmmmmmmm, the more the merrier!
I've had the same experience, free hotel rooms, free dinners, good times. A lot of the time I will go over to a friend's house and fix her computer, she'd have a bunch of her friends there, after I fixed it up we'd all party and hop in the hot tub. Spose it depends on the company you keep as well as your natural environment, some people are just surrounded by assholes that don't appreciate help.
Might add after helping my uncle at a hotel for years he provided me with a very good deal on my first and second car. When things would go wrong with the car he would help me out, I'd still get dirty and do what I could, but sometimes you're smarter than the car, and sometimes the car is smarter than you.
