- If every machine has a unique identifying number, why can't people who commit crimes on/through the internet NOT be found?
- DNS - so it's a database that assists the internet, not an actual part of the internet? That it was called a DNS server and a distributed database confuses me. Is it a part of the internet or a machine that serves it?
Dismantling Integrated Library Systems
- The article says that creating a completely new ILS is unrealistic, but I'm not convinced that it is. Couldn't a prototype be built and tested in a test enviroment so as not to disable an active libraries system? Or just one section of a libraries inventory be phased into the new system so as to minimize potential disruptions? I suppose though if it's a financial issue, than I could be convinced that it's unrealistic.

Rebekah,
My understanding of the IP addresses was that each machine has a unique identifying number but that this number changes every time you start a new session (except in the case of servers). That would explain why you can't find people who commit Internet crimes.
