You are underestimating the press love of a good mudslinging. The savefarscape.com people organized themselves pretty damn well and ended up getting repeated mention on CNN and newswires. Lots of national publications picked the story up. Seems to me it would be a lot easier to get time with a story like this.
Ahhhh. The tinfoil hat reference. The last desperate ploy of the terminally out of ideas. Well, I'm out of ideas too. I'm thorougly convinced you aren't a troll and that you thoroughly believe what you are saying. By the same token, I'm thorougly convinced that what I'm saying is right also. So this is an impass. I agree to disagree. I'm adding you to my friends list. Thanks for hanging in there. For some perspective on what can be done with the art that is anime, please watch "Grave of the Fireflies". It's the best thing I've ever seen. Watch it and be honest with yourself if you think The Lion King is better.
First of all, he didn't petition shit. You fabricated that. He simply signed up for a domain and had no clue what was going. He didn't ask for his domain to be pointed anywhere. I READ THE DAMN COURT DOCUMENTS I was provided as a register.com customer. And no, he was smart enough to start a frivilous lawsuit. That's about it. He didn't get a sandwich. He had no clue what he got. That's his own damn fault. He should have actually made an effort to find out what he was buying instead of stomping his feet and sueing later. YOU should be ashamed of yourself for calling me a childish name, blatantly fabricating information to support your shaky argument, and taking the side of a fucking idiot big floppy dick. People like you ruin this place. Go back to Adequecy.org.
I'll totally hook you up. I just got one for 10 bucks off.

In appreciation of your business, we would also like to extend a special offer to you and your friends or business associates.
Special Offer for Register.com Customers:
Register a domain name* for one year for only $24.99. That's a $10 savings off the standard price.
Visit www.register.com and use Invitation Code: THANKS4 Or you can call our representatives at 1-877-485-7745 or outside the US and Canada 1-902-749-5851.
First of all, you usually get a coupon or special or some such crap and only pay 20.
So for your 20 you get:
Free webmail. Free REALLY GREAT webmail with incredible spam blocking protection. Best there is in my opinion
Completely control of your DNS. You can edit your authoritative DNS servers any way you like.
Ability to set MX
Ability to create aliases and point them wherever
Ability to create A records and point them wherever.
Ability to point aliases at sub directories on other servers.
And much much more. They are more than just a registrar. If you don't need all this stuff then sure. Use Godaddy. But I move a lot. I've lived in 7 states in the past 3 years. The 20 bucks a years saves me a lot of hell.
That received the notice, I think the guy that filed the lawsuit is a dick. I'm sorry. Let me rephrase that I think the guy that filed the lawsuit is a DICK. A big floppy dick. How stupid is he? How hard would it have been for him to actually look into what he was purchasing? How much harm did them pointing his page back to their stuff hurt him if he wasn't even smart enough to know it was there? Meanwhile, I use register.com specifically for their webmail and spam blocking. I might get 1 spam a day and have never had a lost email. Their webmail is awesome. I'd kill to know what they are using for spam blocking. I know I sure as hell can't duplicate their system with my customers. I'm impressed enough with their service that I opt to pay them for it when I could set up my own webmail for free with any number of clients that I've done work for. They've never done me any wrong. I've been nothing but impressed with their products and their services for the past 3 years. The guy that filed this frivilous lawsuit should be ashamed of himself.
You were right. Gentoo really would provide the best experience in the end. By default it's not going to compile and install anything unstable. You have to actually elect to install unstable stuff by setting a flag to do it. Gentoo is definitely your best choice.
The C,ST,L, and CN variables are in the file. Just jump in. Once you look at the file, it will become painfully obvious that those are variables for your city, state, and whatnot. I think they have Newyork, NY in there already as an example and you just have to overwrite their example.
I've been doing this stuff for quite some time, so that does help. I'm not sure if I can attempt to access the skill level necessary to read the directions and follow them. They seemed pretty straight forward to me.
Gentoo's focus seems to be doing everything better. Speed, security, and stability. You HAVE the option of installing bleeding edge crap or stable crap with one setting in your make.conf. I'm now up to 20 Gentoo machines I support and I'm truly starting to consider it the equal of the FreeBSD machines I have in place. Most recently I had to pick an OS for new hardware. The hardware is dual processors ServerWorks chipset 1U's with a gig of ram. I could not get DMA working with FreeBSD using the Serverworks IDE controller on drives. Gentoo worked fine and supported DMA just fine with the latest kernel. In fact, I have had zero problems to date with any of the Gentoo boxes I have set up and they are pretty much running close to the redline 24/7. Of course, that's actual real world experience and not speculation.
Don't listen to the people that assume it's a bear in production. It makes life so much easier. First of all, here is everything you will need to get a courier-imap server up and running with SSL and Postfix and MySQL and Mailmail and Squirrelmail.
I can vouch for this system because I did it and use it. Works wonderfully. The client had no use for Mailman, so I didn't install it. The client also only had 4 company domains he was concerned with, so he isn't taking full advantage of the virtual hosting aspect of the system. Smart choice going with Gentoo. Keeping the machine up to date is so easy, the client is doing it. Just a small bombshell to avoid, don't use Reiserfs unless you don't want to support quotas. This customer had a need for quota on the same server and I had to go through hell tracking down the patches for Reiser quota and getting them installed. Chris Mason was VERY helpful when I had problems. THANKS CHRIS!
Ok, so you addressed ONE of my points. and casually ignored the rest. Just dismissed them as not fitting into your version of reality. Then you did something I didn't do. You misquoted me. I never said that Lion King was a bad film. In fact I said it was a great film. I also said that HALF of miyusaki's films were better. Not all of them. That in itself is a hell of a complement. You seem to be punishing me for looking at all the available facts regarding Disney ripping off someone elses work and coming to the only logical conclusion. I'm not sure why you are a Disney apologist. Work for them? Have stock? There has got to be a conflict of interest in there somewhere for you to come to a completely different conclusion than everybody I know. You are either completely in denial, or you have some other agenda. I'm so sorry reality isn't working out for you.
Sure, given your limited world view. You should have just stopped right there. Everything after was rendered null and void.:) THANK YOU FOR PLAYING THOUGH! I'm not the one in denial here.
Amazing how you analyzed me from one post. You are brilliant. I'm not judging you but you sure are passing judgement on me. It's probably time for you to take a long look in the mirror. Oh, I see you childishly added me to your foes list because of your difference in opinion. Very mature. I made sure to add you to my friends list.:) Perhaps you should look at a lot more of my posts before going off half cocked and reread a little more closely what I actually wrote.
Those Eli Lilly people sound like TERRORISTS!!!!! We should probably lock them up for a few months with no trial or phonecalls then threaten them with evil shit until they admit they are!

No, I'd say that Lion King is the best example of this kind of action. Facts:
TV Guide stated that Disney was remaking Kimba The White Lion.
Matthew Broderick stated that he understood he was being hired as a voice actor for a remake of Kimba The White Lion.
In early production stages, Simba was white.
Right Stuf International was prepared to release Kimba to home video in 1993, but this was delayed by litigation. (Since this release was based on their purchase of the home video rights from Mushi Productions, who would sue to stop it?) And around the same time Disney announced they were delaying the release of Lion King.
You can love The Lion King all you want. It's a really great film. That doesn't change the fact that Disney are crooked thieves. So sorry. Thank you for playing. It's definitely NOT better than even half of Miyazaki's films. I wouldn't say they are "non-universal" in any way. I'd just say they were "un-interpretable" to you because of your obviously limited world view.
My bad. I meant source routed packets. And no, not every ISP on the planet is doing it. I know a fairly stupid one that's a telco in arlington that only sells frame t1's and nothing bigger that has a cisco 7000 and some netopias that is definitely NOT blocking source routed packets. Unless we really were getting attacked by Nasa, york college, The british parliament, AOL corporate, NTY, Ford Motor Company, and a long list of fortune 500 companies simultaneously. For that matter, the upstream from them was wcg (williams) and they didn't appear to be blocking them either.
I spend from 10pm last night til 4am on a conference with the worst bandwidth provider in arlington texas because one of my clients was getting his one of his T1 lines bombarded by a ddos attack. The concept of dropping non-source routed packets was foreign to them. I guess the point I'm getting to is, there are some things the guy on the other end of the T1 line can not do for himself. Even if he had the best bridging packet filter in the world between his T1 and his machines, the pipe would still be screwed at the router above him. So yeah, you bet your ass the provider needs to step in when things are happening at their level. And if they are selling T1 lines to people, they should have the kind of talent in place and IDS systems in place to detect attacks and crap of this nature and do something about it.
And probably everyone on Slashdot knows what the obvious, technically-properly-done successor is, so I won't even mention it.
Nope, no idea. Kazaa has been working great. That and I've been using Irate a lot lately and freaking loving it. Just today I got ten COMPLETELY LEGAL songs and I liked all of them but 2. What technically properly done successor are you talking about?
