Ugh... It's not MY argument, it's the reality of history. A software translation layer (VM) will be less efficient than microcode, which is what intel processors use anyway to decode x86 into a RISC ISA. You really don't know what you're talking about here.

I don't get this at all. The router menu is only a convenience. It would stand up to reason to expect that if you have a use for dyndns, you have some sort of box behind your router that stays up continuously. With this in mind, it should be fairly simple to update any DNS provider's records with an api from that box behind your router. If they don't support that, then bitch at them. In the case that you're just accessing your router, not quite sure what the point would be.

This is simple to answer. It's a form of smugness and self-promotion, to publicly wish a famous stranger well on an online forum makes yourself look well-aligned and better compared to other folks. If not that, then it's likely a comment in anticipation of poor taste of future posts (based on past slashdot posts).
