Now, Verisign the Registrar releases a lot of domains to the public right now after a certain period of time. At this time the names are released and numerous registrars attempt to snag those names when they are dropped. This practice has caused headaches to no end at Verisign the Registry.
But that's their fscking job! That's exactly what they are contracted to do: cope with the registration/expiration process. If they don't want the headaches associated being a government-sponsored monopoly, they should get out of the business rather than propose an illegal lottery.
This is a computerised system, it should be that as soon as it hits the expiry date (maybe +1 week at the most incase there is a delay in payment) the domain is deregistered and removed from whois, and available free for all again.
I haven't read the report myself, but one analyst on "The Street" TV show was dumping on them for the fact that something like 16% of their income is from investments, not product sales. His thinking was that this "spare money" should be given as shareholder dividends (of which there have been none in a long time).
Now, let's uncompress a 0 bit and a 1 bit. All software ever written and ever to be written in the future must come out, since there cannot be anything which compresses to anything else than a 0 or 1 bit, if compressed to a single bit.
because Outlook automatically re-formats even manually-typed URL's to be hot-clickable? It would be hilarious if they were the first ones sued for infringement.

South Belt and further down I-45. Start at the Almeda TRU, and work your way south. You should have a hit by the time you get to NASA Rd. 1. (I just took an early lunch, and for the first time, Circuit City was out of XBox--didn't look over at the GameCube area).
Don't assume that local availability equates to a national shortage. Personally, I've been haunting the Houston game stores in search of Dreamcast bargains, and with the exception of Thanksgiving weekend, every store has been well-stocked with both Game Cubes and XBoxen. I've seen people put them back on the shelf due to the shortage of games to actually play on these consoles. That is steering folks to the PS2.
The community hosting my web site is currently in the throes of going under, but it's hard to imagine that it's from a lack of traffic. In the year and a half I've been with them, banner ad rates dropped three times, they tried pop-ups, and I started shopping for a new host when the pop-unders appeared. *My* site's traffic is going as strong as ever, however, primarily due to getting listed in Yahoo's direcory. On average, Yahoo sends about 150 new visitors a day. I think a proper listing in Yahoo, Open Directory, and Google have kept me going strong.
Actually it will. There's a trick that works for Windows too, that will let you upload your music from the Nomad II to the desktop (which, since this whole discussion has drifted off-topic, was one of the requirements of the original poster). The only catch is that you can't actually *listen* to it if you want to be able to transfer it.
Just change the three-letter extension on the filename from ".mp3" to ".txt" and you can upload and download at will. The Nomad won't recognize it as an mp3 file, so it won't be copy-restricted. when you get it back on your peecee, change the extension back (Mac users know how to do the file type/creator magic).
And if you really want to be able to listen to it, you can have both "Enter_Sandman.mp3" and "Enter_Sandman.txt" right next to each other.
$25 for an LED? Bah. I spent about 8 bucks on an 87C filter, slapped it on a Mag-Lite, and got about 50 yards' range when viewed through a Sony camcorder with NightShot.
That's why I said linked content. If your Danni Ashe portfolio is just a click or two away from your little sister's Beanie Baby collection, don't be shocked if censorware is blocking the beanies! It's just common sense, folks.
For "Lurking Horror," warez won't do you any good. You'll need a login/password from the documentation just to get out of the first room. I recommend BUYING a copy. Sources have been compiled here.
I guess that because the article said "sites," I never expected a page-by-page examination, and that a site would be included or excluded based on all linked content within the same domain name/IP number.
I've visited some of the sites on the two lists, and can attest that many of them are flagged properly. Bottom line? I don't think the author of the paper spidered the sites as well as the censorware did. As an example, it takes some work to find the pr0n links at mulletsgalore.com, but they're there.
Wow. I'm impressed. USB 2.0 is 20% faster than Firewire. About the time the Wintel world starts supporting it, Macs will have 1394b, or FireFire at 3.2 Gbps.
I can't decide if this is a complete troll, or just someone who can't count. Yes, you can get five hours of music on a MiniDisc, but it takes exactly FIVE HOURS to put it there! You want to save money? Leave out the MiniDisc completely, and just listen to whatever source you had in the first place! (and yes, that may even include playing vinyl in your car)
My hand's still up, but Apple's too late. I've got a Rio 500 in this form factor, I don't mind waiting for USB transfers, and I don't need more than 128 Megs of songs every day.
Now, if this puppy had AirPort, and I could sit im my den and load the player as it sits in the car, THEN I'd be lining up to buy one.

Whoops. Forgot to address the original commenter's suggestion. Winplay is spoken for as well.
Well, they started with XPod. Winpod and iPlay are already taken. What else were they gonna call it?
In which case, they'll probably get hit with a massive patent infringement lawsuit.

Seems like MacOS on X86 would be a big mistake, especilly when the mainstream press is praising how well Windows and Linux run on Apple hardware!

Can I wait until I get home to look them up? I don't bring my Dick to work with me.
Spotted a few immediately obvious omissions: conapt, leady, kipple, etc.
Looks like they went under some time this morning. No response to pings of any sort. Doteasy, here I come!

Can you use LinuxDC and your $50 Dreamcast to send this to a big-screen TV for better range? I'm willing to try it.
Are you looking in the right place? In the US, it's typically molded into the upper-left corner of the jewel box the CD came in.
