Sure it is. They own the root, they can return an RR marked as authoritative for any domain in the system.

'.', the DNS root zone, is considered the property of the US Dept. of Commerce, so, no. However, I could see a seizure of a domain in a different country's TLD (ccTLD to be specific) causing a diplomatic scuffle between the US and the forei

Thanks, I missed that somehow. Although, I did say DoD clients, so odds are they're out of date still. Neat to get the update from the guy I watched keynote about the problem in the first place though!

If you're basing downtime avoidance on 'how fast I can boot', you're doing it wrong.

The multi-second difference in software start time, after waiting 5+ minutes for my RAID to initialize and all the onboard crap to check out is really negligible.

Switching from shell to C is a problem from DoD users - you aren't allowed to have a compiler installed on a production machine, so to edit your init process (I guess they aren't scripts anymore!), you'd have to have a separate machine to d

Smart cards (like the DoD Common Access Card/CAC) solve #1 and #3 (no dice on 2 yet).

TIL that visible light is in the 400-800THz range. Things make way more sense now, I never realized it was that crazy high, relatively. Now I'm on a quest to build a RF pixel camera - thanks for the idea!

Just because a candidate has a position you agree on for something doesn't mean they're not crazy.

So, this is a question I've not been able to find an answer for that's relevant: Where are the non-visible light sensitive CCD-style cameras? Why can't I take a 'picture' of the 2.4Ghz bouncing around my condo? Or the 1900Mhz rolling throu

We can't all get along, and thinking otherwise is burying your head in the sand. Show me any period of time in history where 'everybody just got along'?

A dedicated line is hundreds of dollars a month in most of the US. Electricity is also not-at-all cheap in many office parks/buildings. You'll run out of hardware space quite rapidly, simply because the electrical density necessary just is

A T1? Can you even get hosting that slow these days? At hundreds of dollars/mo for a T1 (or more, depending on where you are at), you can get a dedicated gigabit connection and hardware colo'd somewhere. A T1 in an office is laughable the

Um, 'middle class' is squarely in the $10-15/hr range in the US today. That's about $25-30k per parent, with 2 working parents. That's 'average' in most of the US.

Riak is based on Dynamo, and the original paper by Werner (if I recall correctly?). This is just offering up an easy to use cloud service version of what's backing S3 already?

Isn't selling bootleg stuff ALREADY illegal though? I mean, ICE can shut you down for importing ripoff stuff if they find it already - why do we need SOPA/PIPA to make things even more difficult for regular people?

You're probably significantly older, and have a ton of life experience and achievement under your belt. He's probably early-20s, fresh out of school, and that's still a huge part of his life experience.

I dunno, maybe generate a keypair to en/decrypt the content, then encrypt multiple copies of that keypair with per-user keys? A key-getting-key or something like that. There's probably some huge issues there, but it's a start to answering

I might be misremembering, and some of those folks may have moved on, but Comcast inherited a large portion of the '@home' cable modem network, which was, as far as I know, the first network to run out of RFC1918 space due to size and not
