From one of the articles: "As a heavy but non-technical computer user it has been extremely frustrating for me to encounter 404 errors."
Of course, that's misleading -- SiteFinder doesn't provide a cure for 404 errors, which occur when the site is found but the page doesn't exist. So it looks like they need to find better marketing propaganda if they want to actually support their (fundamentally bogus) claims.
Of course, we could protest this idiotic move by starting to systematically buy up all possible.com domain names, redirecting them to a page proclaiming verisign's poor judgment. That'll teach them!
I've always thought this would be a good way to stop email viruses on a local server, if you're foolishly using a virus propagator like Outlook. You create a special mail alias that doesn't belong to anyone. Everyone puts it in their Outlook address books. Any message sent to that address is a virus, and the server automatically blocks any subsequent messages that look like it.
Simple enough. In fact I once asked a sysadmin about it and he said they were doing just that, which wouldn't surprise me. On the other hand I was still receiving bonehead viruses, so maybe it wasn't working as well as it might have.
I highly recommend Soapdish, which I don't think enough people have seen. Kevin Kline, Sally Field, Robert Downey Jr, Whoopi Goldberg, and many other of your favorite actors. It's hilarious.
I highly recommend the book Work Naked,
by Cynthia Froggatt. It's a book about workplace alternatives, written to benefit both the potential telecommuter and their manager. You could learn about the common alternatives to the cubicle/office and how to implement them most effectively. You could hand the book to your manager and they could learn about why telecommuting is okay, how management can change its attitude about performance evaluation, how to implement telecommuting strategies, and so on. There are plenty of case studies and individual testimonies. If I needed to convince an employer about the benefits of telecommuting (fortunately, I don't have to), I would use this book.

No, it isn't.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't the shift key have substantial non-infringing use?
U.S. copyright law is so utterly bankrupt it's laughable. Stop buying CDs -- it's the only way the media companies will listen.
Wait -- they'll just blame the drop in sales on file traders.

'There is no scientific claim so preposterous that a scientist cannot be found to vouch for it'.
As a scientist, I fully support this statement and declare it to be irrefutably true.
Now is the perfect time for us to consider widespread adoption of Zeosync's miraculous 100-to-1 compression technology.

What if they complied to the terms of the cease and desist, but didn't pay the money? Wouldn't the lawyers be left with nothing to sue over?
