  1. Re:IPv6 Resources on IPv6 Ready For A Spin · · Score: 1

    "The issue of the number of addresses availible for IPv6 works out to be around:
    340,282,366,920,938,463,463,374,607,431,768,211, 456 addresses. "

    How did you get that? 256^6 = 2.81 * 10^14

    So like 28.1 trillion IPs. At least I think IPv6 uses the byte.byte.byte.byte... format. Crrect me if I am wrong.

  2. Re:Will DHCP die? (I hope so) on IPv6 Ready For A Spin · · Score: 1

    DHCP can be set up to give the same address to a MAC address all the time (I think). It just makes it easier for admins to use. So DHCP should still exist, but your IP will not change.

  6. Remember... on 1.21 Quickiewatts · · Score: 1

    IE uses JScript. So technically Javascript hasn't many bugs. Its still a dumb language though.

  7. What about the merced? on Intel Announces Pentium 4 · · Score: 1

    Wasn't that supposed to be the 786 equivalent to come out after P3?

    Plus they wouldnt even be guaranteed the $70. If it were freespace any ICANN registrar could get it.

  10. Be weary of external cases on 24/7 Running PCs = Fire Risk? · · Score: 1

    I had a CDR catch fire once in one of those external cases. The power supplys on those are not good. Fortunately I got it out before it harmed the CDR. Tis still burning today.

  15. Re:actually on Linkguard To Cure Broken Links? · · Score: 1

    Nope

    1 gig = 1,000 meg.
    40 gig = 40,000 meg.

    1 tb = 1,000 gig

    so 40*1000*1000
    40 tb = 40,000,000 megabyte

    Of course this is with 1 kb equaling 1000 bytes no 1024. So add two terabytes roughly.

    Actually AOL would be sued :)

    First Microsoft then AOL... life would be great.

  17. Re:Bandwidth, Free Speech, Theft, and Napster on Head U.S. Lawyer Against MS To Defend Napster · · Score: 1

    Regardless of what it was created to do, it doesn't do anything illegal. Shoutcast was created to stream the Loveline from one city to another a task undoubtedly illegal. Now it has many many legal uses. The fact remains that no copyrighted material goes through the napster servers.

  18. Re:Bandwidth, Free Speech, Theft, and Napster on Head U.S. Lawyer Against MS To Defend Napster · · Score: 1

    Your missing the point. While that may be all true it doesn't change the fact that Napster is NOT doing anything wrong. All it is doing is routing packets without ever knowing if it is legal or not. If they get the axe then what happens to the thousands of routers out there which do the exact same thing, or any other server/protocol for that matter.

    Napster is NOT only used to transfer copyrighted material. It is also a valuable informational and promotional tool. Much like the world wide web. Yet I don't see the W3C being sued...

    If you leave IE with WindowsSoft you have the same monopoly that caused the breakup in the first place. Pathetic. Seems like Netscape doesn't want IE moving to Linux.
