What Happened? ICANN announced there are no more IPv4 addresses. What they said was IANA have delegated the last blocks to RIR’s. Does it mean you can no longer get a public block of addresses? No. You still can get a brand new block from your local RIR. Or yet unallocated block from your local […]

Inventions of The Egypt Revolution: Emergency Internet Shutdown
2011-01-30 – 5:32 pm
The last, but not the least invention of the Egypt revolution is Country-wide Internet blackout. Local authorities cut the Internet shortly after they realized the way riots were coordinated. Local authorities used their influence to successfully convince 5 major ISP’s to shut Internet down. Technically speaking, all routes leading to Egypt were erased from the […]

2011-01-30 – 4:46 pm
I am continuing to share my impressions about the current revolution in Egypt. Another invention of it – online riots coordination.

Значений всех нижеперечисленных слов я не знал, считая что у них нет лексического значения. Узнав, был удивлен. Vista, например, значит перспектива, возможности. Fedora – фетровая шляпа. Такая же, как и на лого компании Red Hat. […]
NO to RSS subscriptions
