11/9    There you have it. Gore "invented the Internet". More accurately,
        he created this bill:
        http://thomas.loc.gov/cgi-bin/bdquery/D?d102:16:./temp/~bdPGaI::|/bss/d102query.html|
        \_ He was only about 25 years late. BBNPlanet, DARPA and the DOD
           created the internet in the 60's. All this bill did was to
           help in the transfer of ARPANET to NFSNET.
                \_ But his bills helped make the Internet what it is today
                 - far more than the military/research ARPANET.
                   \_ Uh, no. TCP/IP, ICMP, IGMP, UDP, and most other major
                      protocols such as RIP, OSPF, FTP were authored under
                      DOD and DARPA contracts. Even Bill Joy's work here at
                      Cal in the late 70s and early 80s were DARPA funded.
                      The transition to NSFNET, didn't introduce any new
                      sturcture or commerical benefit. In fact the Internet
                      and the web did not take off until it was transfered
                      out of the control of NSF into commercial ISPs. Gore
                      did not help with the privatization of the Internet
                      which is the primary reason for its growth.
                      Bottom line, Gore is *exaggerating* if not lying.
                      I guess he must have master the Vulcan logical arts
                      to a higher degree than Spock.

4/02    We use Perforce at work for revision control. It seems to work okay.
        Lately, a lot of the newer developers are saying that Perforce
        sucks and we should switch to Mercurial or Git. I have done some
        searching on the Internet and some others have this opinion. Added
        advantage is that Mercurial and Git are free. However, there would
        be some work to switch for the sysadmins and the developers.

4/26    I see that soda has an ipv6 address but ipv6 traffic from this box
        doesn't actually work (ping6 <DEAD>ipv6.google.com<DEAD>, ping6 http://www.v6.facebook.com
        Is this expected to work?
        \_ Soda doesn't have a real IPv6 address.  The IPv6 addresses you see
           in ifconfig are just link-local addresses; any IPv6-capable machine
           will autogenerate these, whether or not it's connected to an IPv6

11/1    I'm moving from a home in Fremont to another home within the same ZIP
        code in Fremont, and AT&T customer service says I cannot transfer my
        DSL service because DSL is not available at my new home.  Is that BS?
        Are they just trying to push me to subscribe to their more expensive
        U-verse service?  I'm not asking for any lightening-speed connection.
