I'm not sure you could get the tail to shake the dog like that.
Those sites are important because they are easy to use and good at what they do (ok, Google is, anyway).
Users typically follow the path of least resistance. If Microsoft Live Search was the only search engine available to people who had ipv4 and ISPs were still only handing out/32 addresses, guess which search engine those people would use.
Of course, that wouldn't happen, because Google and Yahoo would retain their/32 addresses, because they're businesses designed to get money, not force social or technological change.
And there's absolutely no reason that those devices can't be assigned an address from the 10.x portion of RFC 1918. None at all, except for the magnitude of the problem.
They should have planned for that so, so long ago.
I would definitely include mantraps in any new datacenter design, but I know of other datacenters that have them already. Some of them even have sensors to ensure that only one person at a time is in the trap. Crazy stuff.
My backup machine does nightly archives to tape, but it's also got an array of disks for nightly backups. If the backup server dies, those hard drives are instantly mountable on any of the machines by just plugging them in.
The details in the link above aren't right, especially the gordian bash-knot, since I've been moving to AMANDA, but the premise is the same. Nightly backups to multiple media, full weekly backups to long term storage media.
And here I thought that all the virus writers were just wimps using XSS and Word macros to run generic malware. I wondered where the old school BIOS viruses had gone.
I think the people who would drop a K on the biggest MP number are also most likely to be the ones taking pictures of junior's T-ball games and birthday parties, and probably not people who especially care about the quality of the picture in the same terms that a "prosumer" photog would.

Peak Oil for the internet :-)
I think your layer 3 switch would have problems unless it supported ipv6, too.

Remotely address the individual pixels of a monitor.
Talk about a thin client...
It would be nice, but I think there's policy in place to put out for bidders, and I doubt google would bid or be the lowest, if they did.
the typo was really close to immolate...probably psychological

Exactly.
Just copy the general ideas of this datacenter in Sweden.
Sharks and laser beams would fit right in.
...when you could have two for twice as much?
OK, actually two 250 million dollar datacenters, but I love that quote from Contact.
Why tie up that much money in one site when you could build two world class structures and have full redundancy?
I'm pretty sure it would get the elephant/moon question wrong too.
"Which is bigger, the elephant or the moon?"
Obviously, the moon is bigger, but to provide that answer requires the knowledge that "bigger" in this case meant actual size, not appearance.
That's the sort of thing that makes me believe that this team may be able to succeed.
When Deep Blue went up against Kasperov, who could it practice against? Nobody.
There are tens of thousands of Jeopardy! questions to go through before they start making up their own.
The step forward will be parsing the english language.
I hope it remembers to phrase its answers in the form of a question.
OK, I'll bite. What are you doing on your home network that you're being hindered by GbE?
I think the grand parent was talking about using copper wire as a conduit.
I agree, optical will go much, much, much faster. And later, when we have vacuum-optic cables...well, all that much faster, I suppose.
It's those pesky optical logic gates that are holding us back.
10 years, maybe 15, and we'll all be on fiber.
Except for those places that are still using BNC connectors on their coax, of course. They'll never change.
What is Sun's stake in bluray?
they take down every client colocated there?
Talk about punishing the innocent.
My favorite part was where they customize the rubber buffers to the drive speed
I do a very similar thing.

God needs a bandwidth upgrade...
Right, so why does the parent to my (troll?) post say the lens is the limiting factor?
If that is the case, why do large format cameras create superior images to even the best small formats?
