okay, 1) all TLD requests are premature, ICANN is trying to figure out how (and if) to review TLD requests... they aren't even reviewing them yet... and, 2) TLD requests are being made by lots of different people, for lots of different reasons, so.gnu doesn't seem so unreasonable... 3)there are currently requests for.kids,.sex, and.xxx... and serious conflicts about how to sort the content of each of these TLD's. so ICANN has quite a bit of work to do, and it'll be a long time before we see any new TLD's. so basically, for now, we need to figure out a way to wrest unused names from their "owners."

Wormholes? Maybe.

Yes, the wormholes do stir up a bit of trouble for DS9, but lost starship captains have found that the discovery of a wormhole is instrumental to the recovery of characters misplaced by other captains.
Among their reasons for reporting students, Pinkerton suggests: * detailed plans to commit acts of violence. * announcing threats or plans for hurting others Um, doesn't a lot of this sound like an adolescent having a bad day? Remember high school? Scenario: You have a test. You fail. You complain about the teacher, saying "I think I'll just slug the jerk." Now you are reported and you don't know who not to trust. Now, didn't high school suck enough without this crap? We can't stop Pinkerton, but we can ensure that they're profits are low... keep up the protests.
