I just hope that within the next year, they can at least get to breaking even. I truely hope they don't follow the trend of all of the other.com stocks that people seem to group them with with. Beside's, I'd like to see how high the stock would go if they actually posted a profit..;-P
I translated from this release that the.09$ a share loss does NOT include the income from the sale of the initial shares? I know that the 110+$ a share they are now doesn;t give them money, but certainly they earned money from the IPO itself.
Now wait a second.. It's NOT ok for a company to squat on a name for money, but it's OK for someone else to squat on a name becouse they consider them offensive?
Ahh.. As you can tell, I've never taken an online class, and it seemed to me that while taking some of the electronics course, I could simply have books open and/or knowledgable person on the phone, and simply cheat my way thru the entire course.
Having to take at LEAST the final in a neutral place would pretty much solve the problem, though..
I've always wondered how they are getting around the fact of 'Final Exams', etc.. How can you test, reliably, when the students could very well simply be looking it up in books sitting beside their computer, or heck, even searching online thru electronic versions.
How much could students really be learning with the ability to circumvent the thinking process so easily?
Import Win9X settings..

This is the BEST feature I can see.. UMSDOS doesn't really impress me, but having the install actually detect the settings for hardware FROM the Win9X registery is really, REALLY nice..
This really isn't 'cyberwar'. There WAS no war, really.. Propaganda is only a part of it. Now, if they accessed foreign computer systems and DISABLED them with the explicit purpose of doing so, and they didn't do it for 'eyeshare', but to quite literally bring them down, that's war..
War isn't nice. It isn't redirecting things, or swaying opinion. It's about damaging and taking over their ability to function.
You think this is amazing news? The DOD and CIA have been able to do this for YEARS now. Heck, I wouldn't be suprised if they have managed to get the resolution down to 3" by now.
Well, to hell with privacy I guess.. Everyone wave at the camera..;-P
I wonder if anyone who can't afford the 24k$ figure will ever try to subpena (sp?) the data, to get around having to pay to see if they have any evidence..;-P

Wow, I hadn't looked quite yet. Where the heck does the 'yearly maintenence fee' go? Is this like the DNS name registration 'tax' that NSI came up with?
Something occured to me while I was reading this. They are now accepting registrations for IPv6 namespace, but how are they going to deal with the fact that domain names are already registered for IPv4 addresses? Aka, will slashdot have an 'IPv6' address, AND an 'IPv4' address? It's not like someones going to switch a light on and 'POOF', we're all on IPv6..
I predict that eventually, companies who own entire class A networks, and perhaps some class B networks, will end up getting into the access buisness when they find out that they have this TREASURE trove of IP numbers that are scarcer and scarcer. This could lead to a whole new outlook on things ISP's..;-P
Why would we want to see a game on a Cell phone? Communications devices are not suited for games. I predict that this will flop horribly. I see NO ONE who would like this beside's the 14 year olds that have cell phones to look cool.
Not to mention, it scares the hell outa me to think that I may be in an acceident someday becouse someone was chatting with their wife while playing tetris AND driving down the road..;-P

Tux predates 2.0. I think it was around 1.3 something. I think 2.0 was the first to include the pengiun in the kernel release, though..
Nope, world.std.com was selling access earlier then that. But they were selling access to their machines, which just HAPPENED to be on the internet..;-P

That's what I wanted to know.. ;-P Thanks..
(Mental note.. Go take some classes on this stuff..)
Chances are, if the user hosed them under 9X, then they're going to hose things WORSE under Linux.. ;-P
;-P
And those hosed settings at least worked under 9X, so should work relatively well under Linux..

Don't say that To loud.. They may hear and fire off the registration of another several thousand domain names.. ;-P
They are sitting on sites they NEVER intend on using. If I'm against these being used commerially, could I have squat on these?
www.linux.com
www.freebsd.com
www.eef.com
www.gnu.com
and best of all, can I now go buy and sit on
www.naacp.com?
No, I shouldn't.. Neither should they.
One's persons idea of offensive ISN'T anothers, and they have no legal or ethical reason for sitting on slang terms names.

So, hypothetically, we all already HAVE IPv6 IP blocks?
I guess that's one of the questions.. How does the resolver say, 'Please give me an IPv6 address, not that crappy old IPv4?'?
