Domain names like a phone number?

On: Network Solutions Gets Antitrust Protection

The judge also ruled that the free speech rights of PGMedia were not violated because Internet addresses are more like telephone numbers than speech.

This about this. Couldn't this have a great impact on those big companies suing for domains that little people own? After all, a company can't sue you for a telephone number. If this federal judge has deemed that domains are more like phone numbers, then how can it be decided that a domain falls under trademark laws?

Just something to think about

Yeah, but can it actually perform.

On: AMD K6-III released

I'm interested in how it compares to the P3. Pricing aside, when it comes to pure performance, AMD has always been the loser when compared to Intel. Anyone have experience with em?

ibm microdrive

On: Diamond Rio Selling Well

ouch? a wee bit expensive for a toy :)
i would guess the power requirement for a full size drive would be a bit much for something like a portable mp3 player.

6 years of life expectancy LEFT

On: Storage Dilemma Looms for NASA

The new tapes will have 6 years of life left AFTER the project is over, meaning the life expectancy is 10 years, not 6.

Not that it makes it any better. Someone tell NASA about DVD and other digital storage methods.

I think you admin is the crap

On: In Defense of Anonymous Cowards

Don't blame that problem on nt, that's an idiot admin problem you've got there, not an ms problem. Idiot admins abound, in any platform.

What do you think Win95/98 is written in?

On: Impact of Windows Programmer Hordes on Linux?

quite a bit of win9x is written in asm, which is why it isnt portable to other platforms, as opposed to win NT which is mostly in C, making it easy to port it, hence the mips, ppc, alpha ports

On: Linux.com Finally Has Content

does a website have to be hideous and painful to look at to be considered useful? some of us have aesthetic standards.
