Yeah, that DNS thing..

"Now if we can only get companies like Comcast to learn how to use it properly."
AND let us not forget VeriSign's recent perversion of it.

Get over it

Oh my god.....Will these people ever let this Comcast DNS issue go?

It happened almost 2 months ago, over a span of like 3 days. And it wasn't even down the WHOLE 3 days. It was like 6 or 8 hours at a time.
Plus it was due to hardware failure, not misusing it.

I can just see people still bitching next year "Damn Comcast sucks, remember that DNS outage in '04?"

Get something else to whine about. Like Car Insurance rates.

Spam Mail Transfer Protocol?

So, he designed the first implementation of the Spam Mail Transfer Protocol?

LOL, just being facetious. I'm glad he's getting the honor - good Lord has the Net changed our lives.

Original thinkers

People like Mr. Mockapetris are brilliant, original thinkers worthy of all our admiration. Where would we be without them, I shudder to think?

Typical BBR turning a good news story into a flame

First you start off with a good news report. BAM!, If only Comcast can get their DNS to work properly. That happned 2 months ago. I remember it too, OH NO MY WEBPAGES WON'T LOAD PROPERLY. I was laughing at it too. You cant use the internet for 1 night and the world has gone to an end.

You have to remember, though, this is a geek site... For some of us, our work and out life is networks and, in some cases, the internet...

He forgot about the birthday paradox (sometimes known DNS cache poisoning) when he made all of this... sure a great man but DNS is 100% full proof. I give him a half a toast just the "hip hip" not the horay

Actually, they're having ongoing problems. Comcast has been experiencing a DNS meltdown of sorts today still.
