Microsoft Using .MS TLD
mqudsi writes "Microsoft is using the .MS top-level domain, assigned to the Caribbean island of Montserrat, for its Web 2.0-flavored Popfly project. You can get your own .MS name if you really want to — there are no restrictions on foreign ownership — at $180 US for 2 years. As of this writing microsoft.ms is available." In an obliquely related note, TechBlorge has up a rumination on the resemblance of the Popfly logo to Tux.

Crumb's Corollary: Never bring a knife to a bun fight.
"That's nine managers and six developers. No wonder the team "hustles for resources." They're probably going broke paying management wages to sixty percent of the staff. It says three more people aren't pictured -- we can bet that two of them are more managers."
Three lions escape from the Woodland Park Zoo in Seattle.
They decide to split up, to improve the chances that they won't all be caught all at once, and agree to meet three months later to compare notes.
So three months pass by and they all meet. Two of the lions are all skin and bone. One is shaking, he says "I ate one kid at a school and they chased me into the woods. I had to live on voles, shrews, and the occasional mountain biker...stringy, they are." The second lion, also skinny, said "I ate a cop, and they chased me 'round the city and I wound up having to climb up Mt. Ranier and all I could find to eat was squirrels."
So the two look at the third lion and ask why he's so fat and happy:
"I hid in the bushes next to Microsoft's main entrance. I ate a manager a day and nobody noticed."

Terrorists can't threaten a country's freedom and democracy. Only lawmakers and voters can do that.
