14. What are the guidelines for registering an.EDU Web Address?
Registrations in the.EDU domain are reserved for colleges and universities that grant degrees at the bachelor, master and doctoral level, or its foreign equivalent. Each college or university may register only one.EDU Web Address. Graduate programs, remote campuses, etc., cannot obtain a.EDU Web Address of their own. Instead, they should obtain a third-level domain beneath the second-level domain of their institution. Inquiries should be directed to the registrant of the second-level domain.
Inquiries should be directed to the registrant of the second-level domain.
If the college or university registering the Web Address meets this criteria, it must provide a brief explanation of the kinds of degrees awarded under "Purpose/Description" on the registration form.
Many foundations, institutions, consortia, centers, etc., that have educational missions but don't meet the criteria for a Web Address registration in the.EDU TLD register their Web Addresses under the.ORG TLD. K-12 schools and community colleges are typically registered under country domains such as.US.

It's my domain (i'm not about to list it) and it's wonderful against spam. Slashdot@blah.blah, goatsecx@blah.blah, and now I know who's leaking email addresses and spaming me. More to the point I can just bounce anything incoming from them. Even personal emails the person's name@blah.blah.
Webmail is an nice option for spam too. + you get to annoy hotmail.
And I paraphrase from shoddy memory with shakey crack filled hands John Carmack:
"When writing games for a PC you have such a wide range of hardware there's little incentive to get a speed improvement for Voodoo2 blah edition as it'll only be seen by 1% of people and your time is better spent concentrating on other things. When programming for static hardware - however - every little bit of speed you pull out of your code will correlate to a faster games system. It's a real incentive."

"That girly haired boy couldn't program his head out of his arse."

Some online companies are international. It's an ego thing and marketing - as who wants to label themselves local when you could be international?
Although, some businesses are just international. You wouldn't have a http://www.amazon.com.australia.south.sydney.north .14.oakley.street now would you? No, as it'd be too specific.
(and yes i've used VNC, telnet applets, irc applets).
Although users wouldn't see the difference between Java and Browser - W3m is a browser - and it can't do that. I hope it doesn't take the direction of Java as there's little accesibility for visually impaired users.
I'm sure that when a decent framework for GUI and applications comes along they'll call it a browser too - perhaps browser++ (hmm.. browser++.com) - but my point is/was that browsers don't suit non-textural applications at the moment.
Yeah.. I guess the installed user-base does matter.
No, the address field isn't a command line. I can't pipe, anyone can't do much with it. It's more like a unique file|software location, C:\windows\wankitywank,/dev/null/ or http://holloway.co.nz, it's all the same.
No, browsers can't do GUI. They can display pictures, but I surely hope you don't consider that a GUI. They have no sense of windows or workspace areas. What's more, the in-browser DHTML toys that simulate a GUI have to reinvent the wheel each and every time. I can't choose the most basic GUI settings (border width, if I want SDI windowing, what colour I prefer my title bars to be - and many other less cosmetic settings that most users and visually impaired monkeys alike would need to consider it a modern GUI). Nothing's native, which means no user control over anything.
Nope, mouseover doesn't qualify either.
Client Anorexia, excellent term! And yeah - the average client does have a fast CPU and large HDD - but most of them have cruddy dialup bandwidth. X can't travel over that. X is just used as a graphics buffer these days.
Granted, there are many wonderful things that browsers have (fallback font-familys/hypertext/a level of client control/future compatibility/well structured HTML being resolution independant/layers) but browsers*1 will only penetrate software markets that deal with simplistic text, and thats all.
Hell, Amiga Workbench was better than this GUI.
You can't edit images (palette at the side, click and draw), edit documents with varying fonts (a textbox with one font, one colour, one font-size, w00p) you can't play music (unless you have a pluggin - but more importantly there isn't a cross-browser way of playing music)
So no, browsers aren't nearly there as a GUI. They make Motif like powerful, elegant, and sexy.
Oh, and no - I'm not about to chat in the discussions of Internet C++ - but I will go see if there's a mailing list:)
(please excuse my bitching - being the king of the world - i'm expected to act this way;)
Browsers work well as a replacement for software that deals with text (ie, email) but is little use for general purpose. Browsers have no idea of GUI or command line - browsers aren't suited for all apps, or most, even.
Oh, and an X display? Bah. If you're looking for remote displays choose something designed for thin clients.
Own j00! - if you "own" something you own have legal rights to it. Whereas "property" has it's roots in tangible things and posessions.
The roots of both words are different. "own" being legal or moral, "property" being your estate. Meaning the original poster meant "Intellectual Property" was a misnomer.
Though after you consider that language is rather liquid, and the terms have mixed somewhat, and that I'm just a dumbass trying to read into a few words, well... it's only a guess.

That's the same line of thought as "make Linux more user-friendly and you'll take away it's power".
Nuts to that.
This is a more comfortable and pleasant environment (well, lets assume that) it doesn't mean you're going to be a arthritic zombie. It merely assists you to do what you do. If you're an idiot that wallows in a fancy chair then heaven forbid if you ever got loose in a beer factory.

Why's a Linux code fork necessary though? Can't it just be patched? Or is it a fundamental design of Linux that it doesn't work well on mainframes?
I have more questions, but if you could answer these one's first I'd appreciate it.
