The squeeze begins. The same sites that generated advertising cash are soon going to have to pay their site networks just for the incredible bandwidth they use.
Caught between keeping cybersquatters away from trademarked domains and allowing every day users to register the domains they want, you can count on ICANN'T to do one thing: dither.
Put any well-meaning group of people in charge and it can only result in muddled, inconsistent governance.

At the turn of the century, an American academian by the name of Dr. Hans Neulhammer grew increasingly frustrated wiht the compartmentalized nature of scientific study and the persuit of scientific goals.
A bit of a misfit, few people took his early papers on the subject seriously. In fact, the idea of fully-grounded, horizontally-formatted scientific study has yet to gain acceptance.
Like anything else, once you can build one of these things, building a dozen would just be a matter of scale. The idea of "up" would simply become another commodity.
Can you imagine a world where near-earth-orbit travel becomes almost banal?
My school is going threatening to expell Napster usersm, etc. and I can't seem to make a compelling argument in favor of what to them looks like stealing. But since the material can be coppied, it can't be stealing- right?
Also, when I said "hire" I didn't mean "pay." If we had money, we wouldn't need Napster.
Some may say this is intellectually bankrupt. But like most Americans, Of the six hundred posts on/., I'm only going to remember the one person who agreed with me. So, why not streamline the process?
If you find some hot-shot pro-Napster speaker, Let me know.
Palm use is a lot like working with an ERP app. Either it works around you, or you work around it.
It's a lifestyle thing, I guess. I sit in front of my station all day with access to my schedule and contact databases. When I do travel, I find that the $4 cup of coffee at the local Net Cafe is cheaper than wireless net access would be.
I discovered recently that I've been forcing myself to use my Palm, wasting time with grafiti just to take temporary notes.
But I'm pretty sure that if I were just a little bit cooler or more important, the Palm thing would work for me. I just know it.
Remote web server administration is a real pain. With all the various firewall security packages out there, it can make a weary IT manager even wearier.
Let Microsoft take you away from all that. With our new RemoteRoot feature for IIS on Windows2000, users can log in as root from remote sites without all the muckety muck.
Forgot your password? No problem. RemoteRoot makes getting in easy.
Microsoft has partnered with the company responsible for Zero Click technology to bring you this wonderful new feature. You can read more about it on their web site.
Use PHP to generate an.rtf file with the pagebreak tags therein. Specs are available on-line.
On your browser, use the link save-as feature to save the file as an.rtf and open it in WP or some other word processor.
Score! I finally found a question I could answer!
Personally, I've cut vacations short in order to fix a problem (especially if it might have been my problem). But who wouldn't do the same if they were valuable to the company and gave a toss about their career and reputation?
But the real reason is to get your meat hooks into them, to make it hard for them to fire you or allow you to move on. My solution: all the software we use has manuals written only in Mandarin Chinese and a few in an ancient Incan language of pictograms.
Another way is to use archane security systems that may not be the most effective at keeping out crackers, but work wonders at scaring the crap out of upper management.
Custom software mods. Sure, the head office invested millions in SAP, but they can't get anything to work without your data merging widget, written in an odd flavor of Fortran.
This is not flame bait. I'm just curious what can be found in a paper tomb that cannot be cobbled together from various up-to-date and *free* sources from the web.
Perhaps I'm still stuck in the paper age (somewhere between bronze & silicon), but I find myself spending $50 a pop for progamming books I only skim through. If I need reference material, I hit PHP.net (for my PHP projects).
Wearing it will result in a series of cease & dissist notices- how's that for clothing making you feel important. For my case, I have other means of getting sued.
ZeroClick is a marketing and e-commerce technology that allows consumers to purchase goods and services without actually clicking or indicating purchase approval in any way. Customers simply get the merchandise delivered to their doorstep with an invoice- the ultimate in convenience.
[It has been reported that ZeroClick partner Martha's Dildo Vineyard has been responsible for several domestic disturbances due to unexpected adult-oriented deliveries. We at ZeroClick sincerely apologize for that.]
Sure, we've entered into licensing agreement with several e-mail marketing firms. [Just be careful- clicking "delete message" may actually obligate you to buy something].

Sure, we should all expect better from our school systems. But from the din of complaint that surrounds most schools (public & private), people arlready have the expectation thing down.
Teachers (and their wonderful unions) claim that they aren't paid enough to be good at what they do- the old "pay me more and I'll do good-er." But people who work 3/4 of the year and get paid 3/4 or more than a comporable job don't have much to complain about.
[Here's where we get fatalistic]
Schools will always stink because parents as a whole do not get involved, teachers and administrators are too busy feeling sorry for themselves to do their jobs effectively, and the media is too concerned with promoting the myth that schools are drug-frenzied shooting galleries.
Sure, there is essentially an oligarchy running the media, and it's only bound to get worse. But what culture is reflected in the media they're pushing? Mine.
Whew! Thank God I'm on the right side of that one. As lowly peons, we lose out on so much else. Don't deny me the right to gloat over this one thing. For once I'm on the winning team. Yeah Western culture! Hurray for the English language, however bastardized and dumbed-down.
Sure, the media oligarchy can bring you Punky Brewster in sixteen languages.
Who needs a h4xx04 telling you to get a job. I have a mom for that.
If you want to learns to be a l337 h4xx0r, you need to get with the new DOS 4tt4ckz, root k1tz, etz. What's so wrong with planning to h4xx0rz a nuc-u-lar submarine to revenge-ify your gym teacher? I say it's good to have a goal.

Microsoft has issued just-outta-beta products before. Why stop now?
Or, on the other hand, it might be that there is a serious problem with the X-Box design requiring a rethink. Perhaps the green cylon light does not work. Gasp.
Or (and this is my personal theory) there really is no X-Box. There never was. It was all vaporware to compete with Nintendo and SONY's offerings, given an arbitrary product launch timeline to place it between the two products. From what I've seen on the gaming sites, the X-Box is just a screen-shot generating device invented by Microsoft's PR department.

Of course, it all won't matter very soon. The Internet goes dead as California loses power this summer.
This is almost as ridiculous as what some people plan to do about California's Impending Energy Craptasm.

And the reason you don't get it is that you're the one being made fun of.

"I caught this Linux article from the NAMBLA newsletter. I don't know how it came to my house..."
