I doubt that Moyers' intention was to set up Lucas as a modern day Jesus...keep in mind that Moyers is an ordained Southern Baptist minister (a rather moderate one from what I can tell...not the "Religious Right" that has taken over the Southern Baptist Convention).
With that context in mind, (and with my bias of being a Southern Baptist myself in mind as well), I truly found this interview interesting. I'm not sure the impact that these biases really had on the interview, though I suspect that's the reason for much of the theological aspect of it. I personally found the exchange between the two very intriguing.
Actually, yes, M3 and M4 both have large amounts of debugging code in them, and yes, this does slow them down tremendously. The rendering engine itself I believe is running pretty much at full speed though, so actual page loading is about what you'll see in the "final" product from what I understand.
Actually, they *are*, at least in some ways, restricting access to the whois database through whois client connections.
Try some sort of keyword search and see how many entries return...much fewer than there used to be.
Try to show the domains that have you listed as a contact...oh, you can only get the first 50 that way?
Try to find information about the availability of the domain in the DNS servers...oh, they took the On Hold status off of that return as well.
Slowly, but surely, NSI *is* restricting access...both through their website, *and* through the whois client.
The addition is the redirect from www.internic.net to www.networksolutions.com, while not impairing functionality in an of itself, sets a *VERY* dangerous precedent and course for NSI. Essentially, by putting that redirect in, if its not challenged, then NSI can claim that you register information via NSI's website and via NSI, not necessarily through the InterNIC, which NSI just happens to be providing services to. If they are allowed to assert that concept, what happens when the government or ICANN decides to either put another company in charge of interNIC, or open it up so that multiple companies have equal access to it (through whatever mechanism)? NSI can then claim that these domain names are registered through them, are their Intellectual Property, and you can't make changes via another company, whether they are now part or all of the InterNIC or not!

It's only illegal if they are already a monopoly.
Pricing below a competitor and below cost if you're not a monopoloy is not a problem.
