Ars Technica: "California fiber optic cable vandalism continues unabated"
doesn't make sense
if they were extracting the copper for reuse perhaps
but these are optical cables
if it's just sabotage ..
i did think california had had a lot of cable cuts recently..
it's always been kind of high iirc.. just seemed higher than normal
cisco is buying opendns?!
for 635 million $
funny.. I think of opendns as more of a nuisance than an asset
how do you feel about ciscso?
cisco
I don't have a real opinion about them..
I know they like to eat things
(other companies)
yeh
I actually prefer the juniper gear to theirs :P
well it kind of reminds of oracle buying mysql
oh yea that
it's not open soruce :(
but with google/opendns etc going away
i think there is a need for someone less... intrusive..
google dns going away?
google weren't blocking dodgy sites.
no google just monitor everwhere you go
and do a lot of "tracking"
ah.. probably not on their dns though
i mean google know where you work, how you get to work, where you like to check your email...
oh yea that
true, but in theory they could start matching stuff up
that android stuff is kind of creepy
i dunno how free dns is meant to make money though :/
but also kind of useful
for Google? I think it's just in their best interest for everyone to have access to good infrastructure
yeh that's the probleme
so they can sell their product better
google's dns is terrible from here
oh? they don't have an anycast endpoint in NZ?
nope
there's one in australia
but all the source queries come from asia
and they have low hit rate
isp dns isn't so bad in this country at least..
way too much DNS hijacking here
idk if it's still like that, because I just use 8.8.8.8, etc.. now
yeah that doesn't happen here anywhere afaik
my ISP DNS is pretty great
