Submission + - An update on the alternative DNS roots movement (divinorum.org.uk)

pongo000 writes: Salvia has written a concise update addressing the alternative DNS movement, where it's been and where it's currently headed. Of note is the demise of many of the altroots such as AlternNIC, the rise of FreeNIC from the ashes, and an attempt to merge both FreeNIC and OpenNIC in a renewed effort to provide the world with an alternative to the ICANN hegemony.

Submission + - color laser printers with good graphics output?

irw writes: I'm after a choice of colour lasers with the best _available_ colour graphics quality for say $1000 or under (I'm actually in the UK, with around 700 UKP to spend). Networked if possible, duplex if possible, but colour quality is most important.

I've looked at the reviews on c|net, but differences of opinion between editors and actual users make judgement difficult. I also know that in this price range inkjets would generally give better quality, but they dont provide b+w durability and I don't want two printers.

Opinions on printers to avoid (and reasons) would also be useful, things like chip-based page counts in toner cartridges regardless of remaining toner, drive belts prone to failure, and so on.

Submission + - The Slashdot effect

Emmanuel Cecchet writes: "The LabOS and DSLab research groups at EPFL are studying the Slashdot effect . They are interested in people who would like to share experiences or traces of Slashdot/Digg/Fark effects on their systems to complement the model and impact analysis.
There is also a Slashdot distributed load generator in the works for those who would like to test if their website can handle a Slashdot effect."
