Still sounds fishy to me, too expensive to think about 128bit address spaces. You'd need considerable amount of resources to allocate word sizes of 128bits across the board. 64bit address spaces can already well handle the surplus of RAM which. Furthermore hardware is yet to catch up to the limits of 64bit. Most software today is still adequate in 32bit mode. For example, this email that am writing. There is no sense for it to be in 64bit other than the fact it will be use up more ram. Unless Windows 8 plans to move away from home computing then there is no way Ms can focus on 128bit seing it will most likely only make sense with scientific simulations and computations with EXTREMELY large datasets. I think this is more fantasy than reality. ----- "Alvin Jason Ochieng" <ajochola(a)gmail.com> wrote: > http://www.techartifact.com/blogs/2009/10/microsoft-windows-8-will-be-128-b… > > > Alvin > > On Wed, Dec 22, 2010 at 9:25 PM, Steve Obbayi <steve(a)sobbayi.com> > wrote: > > Shouldnt it be Intel or AMD is working on 128 bit Architecture? > > > > > > > > ----- "Odhiambo Washington" <odhiambo(a)gmail.com> wrote: > >> Where can I find the rumors? :) > >> > >> > >> On Wed, Dec 22, 2010 at 5:24 PM, Okumu O.

Data Binding.....
by aki 22 Dec '10

22 Dec '10

Just a quick query to the gurus out there, one for the road... :-) Ok, I've got a number of options which I can use on data binding but rather than take the usual quick and easy route, I'm doing some research into this. So here's the example : Scenario: You have a XML file, root if defined and elements are using the normal structure of nodes, descendents and child etc and want to take the data from the file and say bind it to a table. The table will auto create the number of rows, cells depending on the xml elements. This flexibility is vital. Which approach would you recommend and why : 1) Create a dataset of the XML file 2) Parse the file and use query to select the nodes, then create a loop and add to each row and cell? 3) For a Table, does one keep in mind the number of sessions open during query? 4) Another 5) Another Any thots? Rgds.

Fwd: [AfriNIC-rpd] AfriNIC to assign AS Numbers from a common 32-bit pool.
by Michuki Mwangi 22 Dec '10

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [AfriNIC-rpd] AfriNIC to assign AS Numbers from a common 32-bit pool. Date: Mon, 20 Dec 2010 14:16:42 +0300 From: Ernest - (AfriNIC) <ernest(a)afrinic.net> Organization: AfriNIC - http://www.afrinic.net To: announce(a)afrinic.net Dear Colleagues, According to the "IANA Policy for Allocation of ASN Blocks to the Regional Internet Registries (RIRs)" - http://www.afrinic.net/docs/policies/AFPUB-2008-ASN-001.htm , IANA will cease to make any distinction between 16 and 32-bit only ASN blocks on 31 December 2010 when making allocations to RIRs. After this date, the RIRs will assign AS Numbers from an undifferentiated 32-bit ASN allocation pool. Consequently, for any entity requesting an ASN, AfriNIC will cease to present the ability to opt for a 16- or 32-bit ASN, and will start issuing ASNs from a common 32-bit pool. We therefore urge all IP network operators to ensure that their routing infrastructure is 32-bit ASN compatible. Kind regards, Ernest Byaruhanga. _______________________________________________ rpd mailing list rpd(a)afrinic.net https://lists.afrinic.net/mailman/listinfo.cgi/rpd
