This is exactly correct.

It's part of my job's necessity to test things.

Bad DNS records for the purposes of advertising (paxfire, etc) make this impossible.

Since I am both oncall and use my home node as an 'outside' test vantage point, it was an issue.

I complained to Charter Communications numerous times with no resolution.

Finally, I gave them the finger and had AT&T install DSL with no phone service. It's cheaper and... as a bonus, unlike Charter, my modem didn't mysteriously reboot with a new IP bi-weekly, and didn't suffer random outages at unhandy periods of time.

And people wonder why they're going bankrupt! :)

So, the processors are arranged in "V Formation" layout on the board?

That seems... inefficient.

another case of genius marketing, because I8, P8, S8 or R8 (inline, parallel, staggered, random) wouldn't look as *crunchy* as "V8" does in the magazines... :-/
