Sorry, but you're wrong. Verisign currently holds the contract from ICANN to host the.com TLD, and therefore the.com address space is COMPLETELY under US control, as it is run by an American corporation which is totally subject to American law and judgement. Ditto with.net - exactly same deal. I'm not saying it's a bad thing, since it has to be hosted somewhere and there are very few international zones/corporations, but it does mean that the US can, if it so chooses, cause a ruling to be brought against Verisign regarding the.com or.net zone.
I don't really care if it's a logitech-style remote or an android app; just give us something that works across manufacturers so i can have one remote to control them all.
One remote to control them all
One remote to find them
One remote to bring them all
And in the darkness, bind() them
I heartily second the opinion. I live in the Yukon up in Canada (think Alaska, and go west about 150 miles) and have only ever driven FWD cars with all-season tires. The only accidents I have ever been in involved company vehicles (all trucks, SUVs or vans) with the best winter tires we could get and sandbags in the back for added traction. Almost every accident I've seen was caused by people misjudging road conditions or being overconfident in their SUV's or truck's "superior handling". I have personally driven in whiteout conditions which required a top speed of 30 km/h (20 mi/h) as well as on roads so slick that any speed over 60km/h (35 mi/h) practically guaranteed sliding into the opposite lane when going around a corner, and yet I have never in my life been in anything except single-vehicle accidents (okay, one of them involved a caribou...), and except for the caribou all of my "accidents" were just running off the road into the snowbank.
Granted, I cannot pull a boat trailer or a snowmobile/ATV trailer with my mid-size sedan, but for what I use it for (mostly commuting) it works just fine.
Touché, but you guys still have the DMCA...

These seizures had nothing to do with ICANN - they were performed at the registry level, which is Verisign for.com (IIRC). It is for this reason that torrent-finder.info didn't go down -.info is run by Afilias which is HQ'd in Ireland, outside of US jurisdictional authority.
Don't get me wrong - I'm not happy about this either, but at least we can get the facts straight.

Never mind, mod me down. I misread. Sorry!

Including Open and Save dialogs? Those should be regular dialogs as well?

Slight problem: ICMP runs on top of IP. See http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc792

It was an experimental version. IP is like Linux (x.y.z - the y) - the odd numbers are experimental and the even numbers are production. (IIRC)
