ICANN, National Registrars Still Feuding
Damalloch writes: "The BBC website has this story about the EU's concern over ICANN's refusal to make guarantees about root server stability. Domain name registrars such as Nominet are threatening to withhold payment of ICAAN's fees unless something is done to reassure them. So far ICAAN has remained stubborn because of the huge lawsuit potential if a root server were to go down but with the possibility of having their income reduced, they might just be convinced to do something."
I love black people
this might have been ontopic in the katz article. furthermore, i don't agree with this post.

Something that a lot of these Linux folks don't understand is that people do NOT care to learn how a computer works or how to set it up or how to make it do anything else besides what they want it to do. People use computers as a TOOL, just like a stove or a microwave. I believe that this is one of the main reasons that *nix users find so much distain for Microsoft's products and thier vision of what a computer is supposed to do. It somehow takes away from their l33t status as a basement-based computer geek. What? Regular people are using using a computer in their day to day lives? You have to be a geeko like me to use a computer!?!
The sad fact is, computer's are becoming a part of average people's lives in the same way that all other technological advancements have been integrated into culture since the beginning of humanity. The only people that know how a television works are TV repairmen and the people who build them (hobbiests aside). Likewise, people who only know how a computer works are those that work on them or build them.
Quite simply, Microsoft developed a product that regular people could learn how to use in a relatively short amount of time with the least effort possible. It's just like people learning how to use a remote control or drive a car. So, in this light, the true computer geek's world has been tainted by the "sheep of the masses." So be it. Because even if they are sheep, they make the world turn. They have all of the money, they make everything happen. How many flames, posts, articles have you read that say, "I like Linux but I program with MS technology...hey I gotta put food on the table."
Technology adapts to people, not the other way around.
i don't agree with knee jerking moderators either

For only 250K$ a year + 1M$ a year hardware budget I will provide root servers with 100% uptime. Note, I will not be using BIND.

Turn away from your anti-Christ, anarchical ways!

Disgusting to the world
Grinding orifices my only therapy
Muscle tissue, Reshaping, Mounds of flesh, deformation
bleeding from your arse sudden blood ejection
An interesting thought occurred to me.
Could it be that the goatse-guy is inspired by death-metal? Furthermore, is DivineOb in fact the goatse-guy?!?!
Fuck the middle east
There's too many problems
They just get in the way
We sure could live without them
They hijack our planes
They raise our oil prices
We'll kill them all and have a ball
And end their fuckin' crisis
BEIRUT, LEBANON-Won't exist once we're done
LIBYA, IRAN-We'll flush the bastards down the can
SYRIANS and SHIITES-Crush their faces with our might
ISRAEL and EGYPT-Forget about them
We can live in peace without these dicks
Hey Michael. Why don't you move to Europe you socialist cocksucker. Or better yet, fucking kill yourself.
My liver has almost failed two times in the last two years and my doc tells me to "stop the fucking drinking if I want to be alive at 36".
I fully agree with AC, though. Life, women and the whole world are so fucking boring when I'm sober. The only thing that keeps me from drinking myself to death in a month is the beauty of the math. Can't do math all the time, though. That's when I drink.
And oh yeah, I'm drunk right now.
Yeah, I know. I used to be a believer.
I even admit there are intelligent people in his flock.
However, I had to get away because the AOL effect: the moron fanatics outnumbered the smart reasonable type. What the hell happened to the "faith in Christ is all you need" when the morons scream that you have to disbelieve evolution and most of Physics, not to listen to non-Christian music and most definitely not have a beer or two or swear. It's "gain salvation through the Law" again and got too tired to fight it.
