  • DNS Benchmark v2 Release 5 with Consultant License
    Guest:
    If you own any earlier release of our DNS Benchmark you may immediately download its release #5 replacement. Running an earlier release will detect the new release and help you upgrade.

    Although this release is cosmetic, appearance matters and affects ease of use. The biggest change, as seen in the image above, is that the DNS Benchmark now has a traditional Windows application menu to more fully expose its many features. This release is also "Consultant License Aware" and GRC will now issue a Consultant version when owners have previously purchased four "Personal Use" licenses. If you have previously purchased four DNSB licenses, or if you wish to upgrade your "Personal Use" license to Consultant, GRC's purchase process will direct you through that process.

  • BootAble – FreeDOS boot testing freeware

    To obtain direct, low-level access to a system's mass storage drives, SpinRite runs under a GRC-customized version of FreeDOS which has been modified to add compatibility with all file systems. In order to run SpinRite it must first be possible to boot FreeDOS.

    GRC's “BootAble” freeware allows anyone to easily create BIOS-bootable media in order to workout and confirm the details of getting a machine to boot FreeDOS through a BIOS. Once the means of doing that has been determined, the media created by SpinRite can be booted and run in the same way.

    The participants here, who have taken the time to share their knowledge and experience, their successes and some frustrations with booting their computers into FreeDOS, have created a valuable knowledgebase which will benefit everyone who follows.

    You may click on the image to the right to obtain your own copy of BootAble. Then use the knowledge and experience documented here to boot your computer(s) into FreeDOS. And please do not hesitate to ask questions – nowhere else can better answers be found.

    (You may permanently close this reminder with the 'X' in the upper right.)

Interplanetary file systems belong in Nerd Humor or Hypothetical Situations. Intraplanetary file systems, on the other hand (maybe Epiplanetary File Systems), already exist as undersea/over land cables and RF transmissions. We're using it to communicate now, in a way.

I guess the most interplanetary of file systems is actually the one read from and to by the DSN, the Deep Space Network, with its three main clusters of radio antennas at Goldstone, Madrid, and Canberra. To view what every antenna is doing in realtime, go here. The transmission rate can be VERY SLOW, especially when receiving communication from the Voyager I and Voyager II spacecraft... but I guess those two are part of an Interstellar File System now... 😉 So are Pioneer I and II, but those are dead and will never be able to be recovered by SpinRite.
 
I second the need for a 'Gibson Deep Dive' episode or two on the futures of networking & computing.

Lately I've been seeing many future network&compute ideas, theories, and in progress. And they fly high over my head.

I'm most interested in Colin Cantrell's work. But because it's borne from the crypto world, i'm skeptical yet hopeful.
