No One Wants The Not-Coms

angkor points to this Siliconvalley.com article about companies not jumping for the newfangled TLDs like dot-biz. "This is delicious revenge for all the spam I've gotten reminding me to reserve new domain names now before they're all gone ... ." Besides the nice sound of "dot com," perhaps the restrictions surrounding the new official TLDs help to prevent them selling like hotcakes. The world won't be fair until the LED museum and similar sites are offered -- No, given! -- .museum addresses.

    That's what you get for running a homemade operating system.

    Will you please go away? This is a known bug for certain printers. The same thing can happen for certain Lexmark printers under Windows.

    Did you read the Dox first? No, of course not, because you're a moron.

    Please fuck off and die.

    Of course, if you ever want to get a piece of that you'll have to rummage around the WTC. I didn't quite realize how much of a loss that terrorist attack was until I saw that pic.

    God Bless the U.S.A.

    If tomorrow all the things were gone
    I'd worked for all my life,
    And I had to start again
    with just my children and my wife,
    I'd thank my lucky stars
    to be living here today,
    Cause the flag still stands for freedom
    and they can't take that away.

    I'm proud to be an American
    where at least I know I'm free,
    And, I won't forget the men who died
    and gave that right to me.
    And I'll gladly stand up (!)
    next to you
    and defend her still today.
    Cause there ain't no doubt I love this land...
    God Bless the U.S.A.!

    From the lakes of Minnesota
    to the hills of Tennessee,
    Across the plains of Texas
    from sea to shining sea,
    from Detroit down to Houston,
    and New York to L.A.,
    There's pride in every American heart
    and it's time we stand and say:

    I'm proud to be an American
    where at least I know I'm free,
    And, I won't forget the men who died
    who gave that right to me.
    And, I'll gladly stand up (!)
    next to you
    and defend her still today.
    'Cause there ain't no doubt I love this land...
    God Bless the U.S.A!! :)

    I agree with the idea that Linux is dead....I never seen an operating system fall into this much unpopularity as the Great and All mighty Microsoft. That is why I urge all hackers turn to our master Bill Gates
