"I know, I'll check friendfeed for them," thought I, but Twitter/Favorites is days behind. I haz a sad. - DGentry

I never hear anything about Klout except for Klout haters. You're the reason they haven't faded into obscurity! :) - Amit Patel

I don't consider myself a Klout hater. I'm convinced that an influence score will become pervasive through a big chunk of the service industry, and Klout has a reasonable shot at it. However, I do dislike it when a service sends me email notifying me of something I need to check on their website, but the only notification is of someone they want me to invite to their service. Thats a sleazy tactic, astroturfing viral growth in the userbase. - DGentry

"So far as I can see, leaving comments on the originating blogs has been in gradual decline for years. A large portion of the people who might leave a comment moved to digg/reddit/Facebook/etc, where they would rely on the service itself to provide new stuff for their consideration rather than seek out individual blog feeds. They comment to their fellow users of the service, not the originating site." - DGentry

"I was working on NICs at Sun Microsystems through most of this timeline. I left in late 2000. In my recollection at least, NFS/UDP was not a strong incentive to use jumbo frames. NFS added TCP support sometime in the mid 1990s. By the late 1990s when calls for jumbo frames were loudest, NFS over TCP was Sun's preferred deployment. You're correct that 9K was an 8K page plus headers. Even for TCP that would have been useful, as we wanted to use zero copy techniques to remap VM pages and avoid having to copy them into the kernel." - DGentry
