    Except your forgetting clockspead doesnt mean a lot now days.
    What is important is comparable cost:

  7. Re:PERL programs are hard to distribute on CPAN: $677 Million of Perl · · Score: 0

    Actually thats not true. A good perl installation module can call CPAN to automatically install all of those modules and there dependancies.
    Hmmmm, automatic dependancies :-)
    Serisouly though, the problem of using libraries is made a non-issue through CPAN.

    I almost I agree with you.
    I want a small cell phone that works (actually I'm flexible about the "small") but that has a fricken data port so that I can browse pr0n even when I'm away from the warm embrase of wifi.

    While that is true with goverment and coprorate style sites, most of the early adoptive ones in canada still remain unilingual (usually english).
    This is for a couple of reasons:
    1)A lot of english people dont speak french
    2)Most of the french people on the net also speek english

    Thats an even harder stat to generate.
    Since most home computers are only transiently connected to the net and are often behind masquerading firewalls it would be next to impossible to collect. You might have luck with a survey , but then you open a whole nother can of worms (response bias, clustering depending on where you draw the sample from ,etc.)

  13. Re:WTF on Verisign Speeds Up DNS Updates · · Score: -1

    But you seem to be missing the point. The changes are submited to verisign by the registrars. It doesnt take a lot more CPU usage to make the changes as they come in than once every five minutes
    Allow me to attempt to explain this a bit better
    The update system is interupt based, when a change (in the form of new registration , transfer of registrars, or change of name servers) occurs the update is sent to verisign. Now their is no need for verisgn to scan/poll the individual registrars for when updates occur, because they tell verisign when the update occurs and what the exact changes are.

    I see a much briter future than you do then.
    Personally I see the re-surgance of public peering as everyone and there dog connects to the local IX (the one we have in ottawa has no minum requirements, you dont even need your own class C, you can announce just one IP if you want) and P2P applications (which tend to be some of the larger bandwith users) would benefit greatly from these high speed connections.
    I see the future, downloading Pron faster than you can watch it (since we all know what is really on P2P).
