Honestly, putting a story like this on slashdot to wind up slashdottees is easier than winding up a pitbull terrier by trying to take it's steak dinner from it...

Well, as a FREE American I'd say you're paying the price for the short sighted development of the system in your country.
How many domains are actually registered under ".us" as a domain?
Exactly, the top level domains are Global in scope, so it is only right that a global body is responsible for settling disputes
So, trolling loser, if you don't like a "FOREIGN power" having influence over you, then choose to use your national domain.
Really, never ceases to amaze me how parochial some Americans can be. (link is to dictionary.com, I'm sure you'll need to look up the meaning.;)
He he. More fun can be had with Netscape Messenger in a similar vein.
If you're on a Windows machine, try setting the clock forward to something like 2100, or "go large" up to 2400 etc. Lots of things break when you do this.
Or set it to something it can handle - like 2021;) then send mails. Opposite of self destruct for those filtering on date. Whatever comes in that mail just sits there at front of the queue
Not wanting to be _too_ imflammatory, but: You are talking utter crap.
If you check out the following link: Olive Oil and the Mediterranean Diet at the International Taskforce for Prevention of Coronary Heart Disease, then you might learn something. Consensus of opinion is now
"that there is strong evidence that a Mediterranean-style diet, in which olive oil is the principal source of fat, contributes to the prevention of cardio-vascular risk factors"
I think you're fighting a losing battle. So many here just seem to completely miss the fact of internet as "global phenomenon". _sigh_ oh well.
If like me you're in Europe, and want Europe-centred news, try Silicon for news

<grin> excellent. that makes some of the UK banks even dumber. I've got an account with NatWest that has £0. that's right nada, nothing, nowt in it. Never has, never will. I even tried to close it, (asking them to send me the closing balance - don't think they saw the humour). They wouldn't let me until I sent the unused cheque book and card back. a$%holes. Anyone better that?
in theory at least. You get a phenomenon known as "punctuated equilibrium" - periods of "relative" calm, then a disruptive event, then a period of rapid evolutionary change.
There are definite parallels here between evolution and business (especially if you view a business as behaving like an organism).
Big successful businesses concentrate on core markets, and get specialised. Then the disruptive event comes (e.g. meteor from space, Linux from Finland;) ). Specialised beasties can't adapt, and the smaller more nimble ones end up filling the void left by the death of the specialists..
In the Cretaceous case - small furry mammals (or I wouldn't be at the keyboard), and in this case - Who knows? Maybe Linux services companies? or just any company focusing on quality? Or maybe something new entirely?..Big business definitely finds it harder to adapt to changes in business environment faster than a small one. I know, I've lived the nightmare politics (and I think many others who post here too).

Seems quite appropriate really

So what would be the ultimate cool cases , 'coz lets face it, grey or beige boxes are just _so_ dull
- Wooden box, or hollowed out tree stump
- Old black and white TV with the innards removed, and monitor substituted. Finished? just close the doors.
- Hand carved granite case (good heat sink as well)
- Or just cover your existing case in fur, or feathers, or bamboo, carpet or other ludicrous covering
Great fun. Anyone wants to start carving I'll have one in pink and black Shap granite please, imagine, a machine made from thisHe he. More fun can be had with Netscape Messenger in a similar vein.

Try Viewing "Threaded" or "nested" then ;)

Helps to follow the "threads" on the article.
massively off-topic compared to the cell-phone article of course

As an alternative, what about the Gamma Flux project over at dcypher.net ?
This has a useful application to it - ray tracing for making safer containers to hold radioactive waste.
Stats aren't quite as cool as distributed though ;)
Well said, however on the last point:

"despite the fact that the Internet was originally exclusively American"
Another post on this thread has already made the point internet== www, and that comes from CERN.
However, even the grand-daddy of them all, ARPANET, has had European links from at least 1980, or roughly one third of its life so far.
For a historical perspective (and some other very cool net maps) check out:
