  1. Oasis? on Terraform Mars Using Oasis Greenhouses · · Score: 1

    Is it my imagination, or have we finally found something to terraform?

  2. Let's bring on the obvious joke... on Using Vibrations as a Power Source · · Score: 2, Funny

    Then again, let's not...

  3. Why... on Scientists Grow Pig's Heart On Sheep's Neck · · Score: 4, Funny

    ...didn't they go for something more important, like wings on the back of a pig?

  4. Of course... on Poor Netscape/Mozilla Support in .NET · · Score: 1, Insightful

    It's all accidental that they have issues with Netscape and Mozilla browsers...

  5. A nice mail I received from VeriSign... on .biz Open For Biz · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Check it out:

    Dear .biz Requester:

    VeriSign understands the personal and professional significance of having a unique online presence. It's our pledge to keep you completely informed about the status of your .biz domain name applications.

    As you may be aware, the Superior Court of Los Angeles, CA, issued a preliminary injunction on October 11th temporarily preventing the activation of certain .biz domain names. Consequently, the .biz Registry, NeuLevel, has "frozen" any domain names where:

    1) Multiple Domain Name Applications (DNAs) were submitted for the same domain name by one individual.

    2) DNAs were submitted for the same domain name by multiple individuals.

    3) One or more Trademark Notification (TN) claims and at least one DNA were submitted for the same domain name.

    For any "frozen" domain names, the registrant has not been selected and NeuLevel has not yet announced when the random selection of registrants will begin. In addition, NeuLevel has not stated how the frozen names will or will not appear in the .biz WHOis database. The .biz domain names you requested that have been "frozen" are listed at the end of this email.

    VeriSign is committed to giving you everything you need for success on the Web. We'll post any updates we receive from NeuLevel at http://newdomains.networksolutions.com. If you have any specific questions or concerns about NeuLevel's domain "freezing" process, please visit www.neulevel.com or e-mail them at support@neulevel.biz


    For those wondering what domain I registered: It's my last name. Isn't it so that family names win over trademarks in a domain name dispute?

    Here's to hoping it is...

  6. If yer coming from slashdot, goto microsoft?!?! on Will Browser-Neutral Web Soon Become Thing Of Past? · · Score: 1

    Hehe, nothing like a clueless web dweeb. look at this, taken from said page of the story:

    if (document.referrer.toLowerCase().indexOf("slashdot .org")>-1) location.href="http://www.microsoft.com/windows/ie /";

    For people who don't understand Javascript, that snippet basically sez "If the user is coming from slashdot.org, redirect him to the IE page of microsoft"... silly

    ...the girl waited til AFTER the Andover.net IPO to say 'I do'.
