I know the man who invented the miniature stepping motor, which is the basis of every quartz analog clock and watch on the planet. He also invented the digital electronic watch. His name is John Hall and he lives in California.
"Executives" at the Japanese company Casio tried more than once to kill him, rather than pay him production royalties on his inventions. The closest attempt was a near-escape from being run down by a truck in Washington, DC.
The people who run RAMBUS had better watch their backs.
DirectPC has slashed the price of their unlimited satellite access from $150.00 a month to $50.00. It's just $40.00 if you use your own ISP for the uplink. They also have a joint-marketing deal with AOL.

These conclusions are based on many years of research, as well as having *lived* it! I can provide the links, and you can do your own research, but I must warn you, the results will be shocking and you may be years in drawing the same conclusions.
As a trained journalist, I never write anything I can't defend in court, if necessary. You may reach me directly at robt@citynet.net if you wish. Obviously, you can also find me with the above if you should desire. I stand behind my statements.
I sincerely thank you for your reply. I wish you well on your voyage of discovery.
Even more evil than copyright is patents. At least people don't suffer and die because of the existence of copyright. They *do* because of patents.
Essentially, the only knowledge doctors have is that which is imparted to them by the pharmaceutical companies and medical equipment manufacturers. Medicine is the single largest industry in the united States. At the same time, the *proper* use of pharmaceuticals is the single largest cause of death here. This doesn't take into account, mind you, the 150,000 deaths each year attributed to medical malpractice and other "misuses" of standard treatments.
Only the most invasive and dangerous treatments are used in mainstream medicine--and for one reason--they are the most financially profitable.
*Every* medical condition has a nutritional component. Yet, nutrition isn't even a required subject in most medical schools.
There are safe, effective natural alternatives to almost every one of the dangerous prescription medicines that form the basis for the practice of mainstream medicine. By the way, if prescription medicines weren't by definition dangerous, they wouldn't require a prescription to obtain.
Some natural treatments are even *more* effective than their "patent medicine" counterparts. Worse, a side-effect of many pharmaceuticals is to actually prevent the body from effectively using nutrients. At the same time, many chronic diseases can be permanently cured solely by the use of nutritional medicine!
Not only are doctors ignorant of the efficacy of these nutritional and natural treatments, they are proscribed from widespread use of them.
There are over *600 known cures for cancer.* The FDA and Customs Service keep the best ones from ever reaching our shores. Not coincidentally, the FDA is a revolving door of employment with the pharmaceutical companies.
State medical boards define malpractice as deviating from local standard practice. Doctors who practice "complementary medicine" must live in constant fear of having their medical licenses revoked. Even worse, oncologists are prohibited by federal law from using any treatment but "slash, burn and poison."
In a system reminescent of that described in George Orwell's 1984, where the place people were taken to be tortured was called the "Ministry of Love," doctors torture to death people by the millions, in the name of Wall Street.
In many instances, pharmaceutical companies control the global production of nutrients, with certain enzymes being a good example. As hard as it is to believe, these drug makers actually *remove* the beneficial qualities of these products. They then are able to point to their "patented" products as the only source of hope for the ill, having neutered the natural alternatives they control.
As irritating as copyright law is, patent law is, as the bible says, "the root of all evil."
"What's the difference between illegal gambling and state-sanctioned lotteries?" The same as the difference between Ritalin and methamphetamine. The Man doesn't get a cut.
I read the original article and I've followed the NIC almost on a daily basis. The article I submitted announced the general availability of the device, which was news, and included the information contained here, plus a "micro-review." I love Slashdot, but I see my complaint repeated regularly in Slashback. I know the sheer volume of submissions must be overwhelming, but it would be great if you could catalog recent *quality* attributions so as to avoid this. Each time it happens, you alienate a Slashdotter and contributor. And, yes, I see *lots* of feedback from people who obviously haven't bothered to even read their referenced article. I'm very sure that the same people are prolific in submitting articles, too.
The first broadcasters were retailers who provided programming for free in order to sell radios. It didn't take long for radio, along with entertainment, to become commercialized. Today, broadcast radio programming consists as much of commercials as actual entertainment. Sirius will revolutionize the mobile audio entertainment marketplace by providing only music, interference-free and with digital quality, uninterrupted from coast to coast. Portable internet reception will probably never match this functionality--especially in urban markets--because there just isn't enough available bandwidth. The break-even point for Sirius is only about 100,000 subscribers. Yes, what they are doing is revolutionary. And yes, they will succeed.
An organization I work for had its web designer and maintainer recently go out of business. The defunct business arbitrarily placed the organization's website with a new third party host and vanished. After the group committed thousands of dollars to build a new website, I checked Whois to determine who was hosting their existing site. I was shocked to learn that their domain registration had expired 26 days earlier. I immediately called Network Solutions and, much to my relief, was told that there was a 30 day grace period on expirations. Without any assurance of being reimbursed, I took the responsibility to renew the registration for ten years--and was glad for the opportunity to do so!

Twenty-three years ago, when I was in electronics school, we were able to commandeer a military surplus frequency shift keying decoder and teletype printer. After connecting the devices to the audio output of our Drake TR-4 amateur radio transceiver, I would spend hours searching the shortwave bands for fsk transmissions. There for the viewing were live global feeds from Reuters and other news agencies, military communiques and various mysteriously encrypted messages. One day, just before Christmas, I found something that still ranks as the coolest printer music ever! Before my eyes, Christmas scenes were being printed: Santa, Yuletide greetings, a Christmas tree, a wreath, winter landscapes, et. al. Simultaneously, the teletype machine was emitting Christmas melodies that were wonderfully synchronized to the visuals. The author used the full musical capabilities of the teletype--especially the bell--to delightful effect. But that's not all. The fsk feed included quiescent tones that provided perfect harmony! It was the most brilliantly executed multimedia display you can imagine using just a printer. We never knew the origin of the transmission. Given the atmospheric conditions, it could have come from almost anywhere in the world. All traces of the experience are long since destroyed, as no one saved any of the printouts. That day, however, provided an experience I shall never forget.

Of what value are the proposed new top level domains when anyone with a trademark already owns them by default?
