BryceBot: Ars Technica: "California fiber optic cable vandalism continues unabated"
mnathani_: doesn't make sense
if they were extracting the copper for reuse perhaps
but these are optical cables
mercutio: 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

mercutio: cisco is buying opendns?!
for 635 million $
acf__: funny.. I think of opendns as more of a nuisance than an asset
mercutio: how do you feel about ciscso?
cisco
acf__: I don't have a real opinion about them..
I know they like to eat things
(other companies)
mercutio: yeh
acf__: I actually prefer the juniper gear to theirs :P
mercutio: well it kind of reminds of oracle buying mysql
acf__: oh yea that
mercutio: it's not open soruce :(
but with google/opendns etc going away
i think there is a need for someone less... intrusive..
acf__: google dns going away?
mercutio: google weren't blocking dodgy sites.
no google just monitor everwhere you go
and do a lot of "tracking"
acf__: ah.. probably not on their dns though
mercutio: i mean google know where you work, how you get to work, where you like to check your email...
acf__: oh yea that
mercutio: true, but in theory they could start matching stuff up
acf__: that android stuff is kind of creepy
mercutio: i dunno how free dns is meant to make money though :/
acf__: but also kind of useful
for Google? I think it's just in their best interest for everyone to have access to good infrastructure
mercutio: yeh that's the probleme
acf__: so they can sell their product better
mercutio: google's dns is terrible from here
acf__: oh? they don't have an anycast endpoint in NZ?
mercutio: 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..
acf__: way too much DNS hijacking here
idk if it's still like that, because I just use 8.8.8.8, etc.. now
mercutio: yeah that doesn't happen here anywhere afaik
grody: my ISP DNS is pretty great
kellytk: mercutio: I updated the website I showed you with colors FYI :-)
