What are you talking about? Several registrars require that you point your domain to IP instead of their DNS names. And people who have had domains for a long time might have registered them before new features of network solutions where available that allowed them to point their domain to a name.
However, when an ISP goes under and you need to switch upstream providers, it's a pain in the neck to switch hundreds of domains over to new IPs, especially when they use several different registrars.
But, nevertheless, I agree, this is a stupid ruling and if enforced, will probably mess up the Internet.
Yes, you're right. I was just trying to make the original poster and other people realize that if it these things where going on in another country, that the same thing might happen.
I don't know. I think that the news presented in every country about itself tends to be biased. The news that is from my wife's country (Uzbekistan) rarely informs them about important things going on in their country. Like when the Taliban where only 30 minutes outside of her city of Tashkent (Uzbekistan is right above Afganistan). Or when a plane crash at their airport killed a UN diplomat.
In Iraq, at the time the first bombing was happening, All the TV channels were simply playing the Iraqi national anthem, instead of telling people what was really happening.
I can't speak for other countries, but I imagine that simular "masking of events" happens.
I always thought about making some helium balloon setup so that the camera could fly a lot higher. The problem is, getting the pictures back. You'd have to follow the balloon until it came down or have a really good wireless connection. But that wouldn't be cost effective.
There was another guy who had a kite cam page on the net, he didn't get his kite very high though.
A few years ago I got a call from one of their marketers trying to switch my long distance service and I interupted him by saying
Me: "You know, I'm not interested..." Him: "Well fuck you then" Me: "What? fuck me?" Him: *Loudly* "Yeah, fuck you!" Me: "You got to be kidding me, you called me from AT&T" Him: "Fuck you" *Hangs up*
At first I thought it was a prank call, but then I remembered that it had all the right initial sounds that a telemarketer call would have like the initial pause and sounds made while the computer connects me with the marketer.
I remember when the Blender 3D software was bought from the company NaN for $100,000, there was some speculation that it might not be a good thing if this kind of trend continues. Granted, this is a bit different. But maybe instead of just developing drivers, companies would wait around for someone to generate a big pot of money to make it worth it for them.
Good for them. But they should have someone experienced in professional writing to lead each textbook project. I would worry about bloat and lack of focus in the books. Some people might try to include to much, etc. Or each chapter that is written by a different person have different philosophical ideas.
When more an more users try to make the switch from Windows to Linux, are they going to be turned off because they thought it was going to be much faster, when in fact it wasn't much faster.
It's still more stable, but I'm already starting to see strange things creep into Fedora. I switched to Gentoo several months ago, but last night I installed Fedora on my wife's machine (There wasn't enough time to install gentoo). Now there are some weird problems with the GUI, like clicking on "add icon to panel" in gnome doesn't actually add the icon. I haven't had time to look into it, but it just seems like little things like that can ruin ones overall impression.
Needless to say, my wife was still impressed with how far Linux has come in the past few years since she last tried using it. So all of you developers are to be commended for your hard and diligent work.
There is also a way to view cosmic background radiation on your television as well. It might only work on older TVs though. It has something to do with switching to a "snow" channel on UHF, turning down the brightness, turning up the contrast and maybe one other setting. Maybe someone here will know. It was on some documentary back in the 80s or 90s.

All the work to organize, cut short by THE LAW.
but wouldn't a micropayment be something like $0.0000001 per page view.
Mac, Linux and other non-Windows operating systems are immune from this attack.
At least he said "this attack" instead of "attacks".

Seriously, how hard is it to remove those phone numbers from your list?
As hard as it is to get your family to find out who is calling them.
Dude, time to go get management a job at the FTC and ask for a large salary.

Haha, now that's a funny parody. ;-)

At least they are smart enough to realize that it is not technically feasible yet. Score 1 for the FTC.
I'm curious, do you have any statistics or evidence to back up your speed claim?
Try running it on Gentoo.

I took some of my old toys and modded them into cold hard cash.
But that was 10 years ago.
Ahh, ok. I wasn't aware of that. Cool actually that all that work that went into sodipodi isn't just being ignored.
