This whole issue really pisses me off and I agree that something should be done about it. These speculators and squatters are a major cause of all the troubles with the domain name registration process. The TLD registration service is like an institution for the public good. We should do everything possible to preclude people from profiting off it through abusing the system. I propose they adopt the following rules:
1. Domain names may not be transfered. They may only be cancelled.
2. Upon cancellation, the domain name must sit "dead" for a period of around 6 months.
If we do this, the speculators would have a difficult time in convincing buyers that they would be guaranteed to actually be able to register the domain name after the speculator drops it.
If we combine this with domains going live upon receipt of payment and a maximum of 30 days holding time before receiving payment, I think we can make it much less profitable for speculators.
If the need to legitimately transfer domain names is to great for this kind of solution, perhaps there could be a minimum domain holding time before transfers are processed or they could be approved by some impartial body. Approval by committee would be prone to abuse too though.
That's my.02 anyway

You can use Esound to catch output to the dsp device from "legacy programs" and mix it with other output by using esddsp. Just prefix your command line with esddsp. For example "esddsp mpg123 barney-medley.mp3"
Umm, well...it's all in the celeron. It works. And at $60 apiece, your "coherency logic" is well worth the crapshoot. Go here for the source of it all people. By the way, the slocket you choose affects how easy and how successful the modification will be. Read up first.

The glycol mixture isn't at -50C, the dual peltiers are responsible for the temperature dropping that low. The Glycol mixture didn't get below -25C.
We really should read more carefully before throwing out comments.
