February 12 Information

CDC Cyber#Cyber 70 and 170 series implies that the Cyber 70 used discrete transistors whereas the 170 used ICs. Did the Cyber 70 really use discrete transistors in 1974? ( List of transistorized computers doesn't list the Cyber 70.) Bubba73 ^{You talkin' to me?} 02:23, 12 February 2018 (UTC) reply

That surprised me a bit too when I first read your question, but have a look at [1]. If I understand things correctly the Cyber 70 was introduced in 1970 using discrete components, in order to buy time for the development of the Cyber 173, which was introduced in 1974 and had ICs.

I have my router assign the hostname "nas" to my NAS, so that I won't have to type out the full IP every time. When I do "ping nas", everything works.

But when I type in "nas" in the Firefox URL bar, firefox thnks it's a search keyword and takes me to the Google search page for the word "nas". How can I change things so that when I type "nas" (or whatever proper domain name I should assign the NAS) in the URL bar it actually goes to the local IP address?

(I realize that "nas" isn't a valid domain name. If I have to change it to something like "nas.local" then so be it, as long as the URL bar thing works.) Mũeller ( talk) 05:42, 12 February 2018 (UTC) reply

You can also turn off search-from-address-bar if you'd prefer. LongHairedFop ( talk) 20:18, 14 February 2018 (UTC) reply
