    RTFA, he copy & pasted the first paragraph from the article for the summary. Go blame "richm" at netcraft for that.

  4. Re:Effects of Price Changes on A DIMM Future for RAM Bundles · · Score: 2, Interesting

    We have enough people thinking that you need 512mb of RAM to run Microsoft Word and Internet Explorer.

    If people think they actually need the 512mb rather than 256mb, then they'll pay the extra $40 or whatever for the ability to run their favorite games without closing some other programs.

  24. Re:From YOUCANN on ICANN to Incorporate TLDs Already In-use? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Just like how every home in the U.S. has Comcast cable? Right.

    Just because you don't believe that you have a choice doesn't mean there aren't any choices.

    There are a good deal of nameservers that don't blindly follow ICANN. This doesn't mean we use another nameserver for all .com lookups. Think of it as ICANN's domains plus more.

    You may not think that colliding other TLDs is a bad idea, but at least realize that they are introducing collisions.

  25. Re:The Wild Wild Web is born again... on ICANN to Incorporate TLDs Already In-use? · · Score: 1

    It's been years since I've seen an installation of newnet. Last time I saw it, I thought it changed some windows settings to use alternative nameservers.

    In either case, I agree that it's trash.
