Submission + - ICANN Wants To Change Rules For gTLDs (thedomains.com)

Submitted by Anonymous Coward on Tuesday May 10, 2011 @11:25AM

An anonymous reader writes: The May 10th deadline for comments on the .net registry agreement renewal has arrived with new domain name dispute changes that aid corporations. Instead of UDRP, the new agreement proposes adding the Uniform Rapid Suspension (URS) process to the .net TLD. The URS is a quick $200 process for a trademark holder to disable and take ownership of a domain. URS also reduces the panel size from 1-3 people to a single person. You can still comment on the proposal by sending an email to ICANN (net-agreement-renewal@).

Submission + - FTC Introduces New Orders for Intel; No bundling (bloomberg.com)

Submitted by eldavojohn on Wednesday August 04, 2010 @12:03PM

eldavojohn writes: Today a decision was handed down (PDF) from the FTC that underlined new guidelines for Intel in the highly anticipated investigation. Biggest result: the practices Intel employed like bundling prices to get manufacturers like Dell to block sales of competitors' chips like AMD must stop. No word yet on whether or not Intel will face monetary fines from the FTC like they did in Europe over the same monopolistic practices.

Submission + - Entire .SE TLD Drops off the Internet (pingdom.com)

Submitted by Icemaann on Tuesday October 13, 2009 @10:41AM

Icemaann writes: Pingdom and Network World are reporting that the .SE tld dropped off the internet yesterday due to a bug in the script that generates the .SE zone file. The .SE tld has close to one million domains that all went down due to missing the trailing dot in the SE zone file. Some caching nameservers may still be returning invalid DNS responses for 24 hours.

Submission + - New DoS Vulnerability in All Versions of BIND 9 (isc.org)

Submitted by Icemaann on Tuesday July 28, 2009 @07:52PM

Icemaann writes: ISC is reporting that a new, remotely exploitable, vulnerability has been found in all version of BIND 9. A specially crafted dynamic update packet will make BIND die with an assertion error. There is an exploit in the wild and there are no access control workarounds. RedHat claims that the exploit does not affect BIND servers that do not allow dynamic updates. This is a high priority vulnerability and DNS operators will want to upgrade BIND to the latest patch level.

I am surprised the submitter did not mention Schedules Direct. It is not free, but it should have been mentioned.

Anyway, check it out.

Well, I'm similarly poor, so went with a el cheapo "RAID1" controller. Thats what it said on the packet, but, FreeBSD see's it as a plain old IDE controller. Not to worry, 4 x 120Gb drives, and then use gmirror to create a coupla metadrives with mirroring. Cheap? Yes. But, it works.
