Other GUI's have remote display. I've heard that the OS X interface is capable of remote display on any device that can display PDF; corrections solicited. (Now, does this mean I need to upgrade my laser printer to one that can support a ssh client?)
being somone who makes a livin' on the service side of the economy and not the sell-a-product side, it all seems arbitrary to me. if earth were ursula leguin's dispossed's world, i'd be living on the moon.
what gets to me the most is that the u.s.a. assigns so many rights to things; corporations, trademarks, etc., often at the expense of people.
This is the way to keep domains meaningful (or as meaningless as the DNS guru of the SLD cares to make it). It is how things are done in the.US TLD. Volunteers came forward to handle various cities and to distrbute the domains for those municipalities. If gnu.org was willing to let software developers have third level domains, I could go to ssh.gnu.org and know I would get the site(s) for ssh tools. The same holds true for movies; x-men.fox.com is 10^6 times better than www.x-men-the-movie.com AND it gives fox a little publicity to boot. Too many TLDs is just asking for trouble (although I think we need more than 3).
Congress...., uhmm, I mean... The U.N. should create an organization that is in charge of making sure each domin under a TLD meet the criteria set for it. I mean it would suck big time to go to sesamestreet.sex and actually find a CTW approved site.
Apple just seems to be a little extreme in obeying the part of copyright and trademark law that says you gotta enforce your copyright/trademark from enfringement or loose it. [I'm not a lawer, so maybe this is malarkie.]
Whether it is good or not,.US domains are still like this. But I don't think it was necessarily so great, because there is a potential for abuse. Its fairly easy to make sure only schools get k12.LOCALITY.STATE.US, but what about organizations who want to register a domain? Do they have to be non-profit? if yes, doesn't that waste a lot of potential domains for useful services (movies.LOCALITY.STATE.US, etc.). Who's going to do the research to follow through? What if the person in charge of the somebigcity.STATE.US domain is not representative of the people of Some Big City and refuses a gay organization's request for a domain? It's not like they were elected to register domains, they volunteered and did the work needed to set up a DNS server. There are extensive rules listed at nic.us but they still have a lot of holes and makes the whole.US TLD seem muddled, IMHO.
My proxy server (SQUID, of course) spits this back as a bad URL. When I connect directly, it works fine. This might be the trouble the person with Comm. 4.7 is having; wither it validates the URL or he is behind a proxy. But the site is cool for its uselessness.

Their WEEKLY tree killing version (as opposed to the coal burning/nuclear fire/hydro steaming/etc. electron pushing version) is overwhelming, too. Every time I've subscribed, I've felt bad because of the issues I never finished (and the thing is only 10 pages long). The on-line version is much more manageable. I wish they had an affordable on-line subscription, with HTML and Palm formats.

but what if someone beats them to slashdot.dot?

We need to return meaning to TLDs!

I heard you could get free net access if you had line-of-sight to the ESB and a microwave connection.

Just what we need, a touch screen that can blow up and send you to sick bay when the computer crashes.
