Utube Sues YouTube

Your super-hierarchical scheme sounds like a huge scam for registrars, since you'd have to register 15 domain names instead of 1 in order to get into each relevant category for your business.
On the other hand, local TLDs should be used more.
Why can't youtube run a simple little thing for a few months on the side (disabled if cookies show a youtube account) that says ("Looking for Universal Tube Company? Click here."). That's the way reasonable website owners have been solving this problem for years.
The other free software project trying to do this is VOS/Interreality (I'm a developer on that). No relation to Interverse, though it also uses Crystalspace.
Parking lots are a *great* place to put solar panels: lots of square footage, extremely easy access for maintainence, and it keeps the cars and asphalt cool by shading them.
* I want to run my own server, I don't feel like paying an increasing monthly fee to just build the world I would like to share with my friends, considering how many "islands" there are, quite a few people are keen to have their own place appart. But if I would like to build something massive, like an insane bookstore that would cost a fortune....
* Closed source -- so its not going anywhere fast
The problem is that the tools are really limited. Can you hack Second Life to digitally sign clothes that you're selling? Can I get the server source code, add a feature, and send a patch to Linden Labs?:)
It should be clear that these aren't NASA engineers designing spacecraft, these are researchers (both NASA and university) doing experiments. They use Linux for the libraries, tools, and as a generally powerful and well-known development environment.
I'm curious what the power use/battery impact is of having all those hubs and multiplexers and ethernet bridge things, instead of just a computer with lots of I/O ports. Anyone worked on this kind of thing before?
"in all due likelyhood, the trash is going to be used to burn more trash."
Uh, well, with 33% likelyhood actually... is that in all due?

GNOME 2.16 Released
·
· Score: 1
This release does not really have many interesting user-visible features, but parts of Gnome are starting to utilize some of the new infrastructure like mono, compositing, cairo, etc. So I think we'll see some much more interesting visible features using that stuff in the next release or maybe the one after that.
Warning, I used to use RBLs to reject mail, but occasionally all of yahoo or somethnig gets added to a blacklist, and so mail from yahoo would start bouncing (including yahoo groups -- they really ought to use a seperate network for yahoo groups as their free webmail!). So instead of rejecting mail, I started just inserting a warning header, X-Spam-Blacklists:, which is easy to do with Exim. (I assume also with Postfix). Then I could filter the message in Thunderbird into a "probably spam" folder. You could also set up SA to increase a messages score if it's in a blacklist, I think, but I've never tried it.
So if you do set up RBL rejection, make sure you pay attention to what it's rejecting. Skim through the log file a few times in the week or two after doing it, otherwise you'll never no that it's being rejected.
Well, there would still be Canada's national DGPS service, which covers most of the northern US (plus Alaska)! Plus the expensive commercial services if you really needed it.
"As long as the certificate issuers are doing their jobs and only giving out signed certificates for www.myURLNameHere.com to the actual owner of www.myURLNameHere.com.... and people actually don't complete transactions when a warning of a self-signed certificate comes up..."
And there are two big assumptions. The first is sort of questionable, the second -- as many posters have mentioned -- almost never occurs.

Um, get some loans! Then you will find it very useful to know what you owe, what you can pay off, how much interest you are paying, etc. You will be able to make much better decisions about what to pay off and how quickly.
However everyone should keep track of expenses though, even if just for a few months. Once you realize how seemingly small things add up (do you go out to lunch every weekday? do you only pay the minimum on your car/home/college loan?), when you could be savinig for whatever your higher priority goals are.

Looks like SGI is the next SCO :)
Except that SGI actually did develop its own technology, so maybe it has a bit more ground to stand on here than SCO...

Anyone have a link to a quick hack to remove the soft power button? Can you just short it?
This is a good idea, but then it gets expensive to replace existing stuff, like the whole power supply, or say, your house hot water heater
If you can save a few watts here and there for extremely low cost, instead of spending lots to save lots, that might be a better way to go.
Why would you gzip it *after* copying it accross the network??
So it's a collectible card game but they don't have to print and ship any actual cards, just reap in the profits. Brilliant!
Most of these are not geek wallets, they are gadget-whore wallets.
A true geek wallet is either
* Highly personalized
* Highly simplified
or
* Doesn't matter because it's not terribly important. I.e. that velcro day-glo wallet you've had since you were 10.

Well, hate speech actually is not "protected". (Though it's fairly well defined.)
Yes.
