Chapter 286 Server Problem

"Well...your body is fine, but I think you still need to rest."

After a routine physical examination, Li Xiaolong took the test report and left the hospital.

Although I haven't filmed any new movies recently, the routine physical examinations stipulated by the company must still be carried out.

Not only Li Xiaolong, but also other actors contracted by the company, all have such routine examinations. However, compared with others, in addition to routine examinations, Li Xiaolong also has another one to maintain his health.

team.

To be honest... Li Xiaolong's attitude towards this team is not very good. For Li Xiaolong, kung fu is very important to him, especially after the recent creation of Jeet Kune Do.

But the upper limit of exercise set by these expert teams for themselves... is too cheating. In Li Xiaolong's view, these people simply want to make him give up training.

For a period of time at the beginning, the two sides were almost at odds with each other. However, in the end, Li Xiaolong and the opponent each took a step back and slightly reduced the intensity of training. Li Xiaolong also knew that they were doing good to him.

It is impossible for such a philanthropic doctor who is hired with a high salary to lose his job, but Li Xiaolong feels that his health is not that bad at all.

The benefits for actors under DreamWorks are very good. At least everyone has complete medical insurance. Even for third-rate actors, the medical insurance is more than 90%. And the company's safety measures are also in place... In fact, for many people,

It seems that these safety measures are a bit excessive. The company even stipulates that if there is a scene of "shooting people" during filming, even blank ammunition cannot be used, and a simulated prop gun must be used.

In the view of Hollywood giants such as Warner and Universal, this approach is not necessary except for increasing costs - the price of imitation guns is often more expensive than real guns...

However, this kind of safety measure has indeed attracted many actors. Although they are not big names, it has indeed greatly enhanced the strength of DreamWorks.

A few days ago, Chou Wenhuai of DreamWorks Hong Kong once again found Li Xiaolong, hoping to collaborate with Li Xiaolong on an action film.

However, Li Xiaolong still declined Zou Wenhuai's suggestion for the time being, because he was preparing to open a martial arts gym in Los Angeles. He decided to wait until the martial arts gym was opened before filming. Now, Li Xiaolong also needs to put his

Jeet Kune Do has been perfected, so he really can't find the time.

And... the Chinese New Year is coming soon.

…

"The Chinese New Year is coming soon. Let's go to Chinatown to see it. It will definitely be very lively." Catherine laughed.

She was lying on the blanket at the moment, and Lyrella was giving her a massage. Thanks to the air conditioner, although it was only January, the indoor temperature was as high as 23 degrees, which was absolutely comfortable.

"New Year?" Elsa had never heard of this thing.

"It's the Chinese Christmas...well, that's pretty much it." Lyreira has a little understanding of Eastern culture.

"When?"

Elsa was also a little interested.

"New Year's Eve is on the 29th, and then Chun Festival is on the 30th...well, it's at the end of the month."

There's still more than half a month left.

Enjoying the massage quietly, Catherine was in a happy mood.

The promotion of this book will take some time, and it is very troublesome to change the operating system of current computers, so this matter cannot be rushed.

But once you have it, upgrading to a browser will also play a huge role.

Although the east-west network routes are connected, the main development areas of Katherine are California and New York. So so far, the Internet is only used in these two big states, and in other places, it is mostly concentrated.

At university.

University Internet is Catherine's stated goal, but now it seems that the next step is ready to be developed, which is intercity fiber optics and intracity fiber optics.

Although the backbone network has been completed, some branches are still needed.

Not only that, it is also necessary to improve the network in the city. With the support of users, the Internet will not be a castle in the air.

"Let's wait until early February to go to Chinatown... Hmm, do you want to wear a cheongsam? Forget it..."

It's still very cold in February. Although there is air conditioning at home, the temperature on the street is very low.

It's strange to say that in recent years, summers have become hotter and hotter, and winters have become colder and colder. The temperature is really unpredictable.

Early the next morning, Catherine came to the company.

For the Chinese, their New Year has not yet begun, but for Europeans and Americans, the New Year is over, and now it is time to return to the normal working environment.

"Ms. Edson, our server has been under great pressure recently. Do I think we need to add a server?"

As soon as I sat down and before my butt was warmed up, Ralph ran in.

"What's wrong?"

"Many people have been applying to register for the website recently, and we are simply too busy."

"A lot of people?"

"Yes, many companies in Silicon Valley are inquiring about related information, and many university websites along the way are re-building their websites. Recently, some game manufacturers, led by Atari, also want to build a website."

Ralph seemed to be overwhelmed by this matter.

"We are not adding servers."

Catherine's answer puzzled Ralph, but Catherine continued: "We let these companies and universities use their own servers to build websites!"

"Let them build their own website? But in this case, will our management of the Internet become very clumsy?" Ralph was a little worried.

"It doesn't matter, anyway, we have the root server in hand. And my Internet search engine is almost completed. The diversification of websites is very beneficial to us."

The management of hundreds of websites is indeed a burden for today's machines, especially since there are only these two servers in the country. If something goes wrong...then it will be a big deal.

"But the cost of servers is very high. Will they really open a website just for an expensive server?"

"It doesn't matter." Catherine picked up the phone and then called the main station, "Have Olson come over here...if he's not free, send a technician over."

After the phone call, Catherine continued: "The reason why our server is expensive is because our hard drive is large and the machine needs to be very stable. But if there is only one website, the burden on the server will be reduced a lot."

"It seems like this..." Ralph understood: "So, if it is given to individual users, there is no need for such a powerful server? Oh, but even so, I think many people may not be able to afford a server.

Bar?"

"Well..." This is also a question.

Nowadays, many people who are applying for websites are college students. Many of them are just trying it out. Many domain names actually exceed 15 characters.

——The reason for this is precisely because domain names longer than 15 characters are very cheap.

For example, the price of a domain name within five characters ranges from 1,000 to 100,000 US dollars, but the registration price of some very long domain names is much cheaper.

"Then we can use rent. We can definitely use the 360 ​​method and rely on rent collection to make money."

IBM's 360 made money by collecting rents, and finally earned 7 billion. However, due to historical changes, IBM's 360 has now sold many units instead of being rented out, which has brought them a lot of money.

profit.

Ralph seemed to understand: "In this case... maybe it would be good to form a server group?"

The efficiency of a separate server is indeed higher than the current server.

Catherine nodded.

The steps for people to register an Internet domain name today are roughly as follows: First, submit an application, stating the main content of the website to be built and the domain name you want to apply for. Then, after review, the company's personnel will contact you and then sign a contract.

Domain name leases range from 1 to 20 years, and there are also permanent domain names, but they are the most expensive.

After applying for a domain name, the website can be built and then opened to the outside world.

"But I still need to discuss the feasibility of this matter. If we rent a server, we also need a reasonable price."

"Well, but this depends on the cost... Let's wait until Olson comes over."

The company's current products are updated every 1 to 2 years, which is similar to the current "Edson's Law".

Although Catherine has turned Moore's Law into Edson's Law in advance, it seems that not many people pay attention to this law now.

As for Moore himself, he is still working on GPUs with Roberts in Thunder Labs. They have been silent for a long time.

Catherine believed that they were definitely not just sitting around making jokes. After all, they were all legendary geniuses, a group of people who were almost fanatical about semiconductors.

"Miss Edson."

At this moment, Olson had walked in.

"Olson, I am going to develop an enterprise version of the server, which will be different from our current large server. Our large server may not be able to support it."

"The Internet is developing so fast?"

Olson was a little surprised.

"In fact, many websites are applied for registration by college students. The application form I have now shows that at least 50% of the legal representatives are college students. In addition, there are also some minors who may ask their parents or others to become legal persons.

So the number could be higher."

The website, like the Internet ID, is registered under a real name. The registration process is very strict and must have complete legal documents. For the sake of security, it is the Cold War now. If someone opens an anti-American website, then by then

After being exposed, the person who was deceived may be our own American telecommunications company.

In such a sensitive period, caution is paramount.
