I don't mind the idea of an open floodgate for new TLD's. Good ones will rise to the top, bad ones will die, the artificial scarcity of domain names will vanish.
I hate the idea that anyone can own a TLD. This just recreates the.com domain name land rush and artificial scarcity on a new and more damaging level.
As far as protecting trademarks, perhaps allow trademark holders to block a TLD, but not own or control it. Either the TLD is there and open to all or Blocked and not allowed to be created.
To minimize editor bias based on who submitted an article, hide the submitters name from the editors until after they have chosen an article.
You could also link all dupes to the entry they duped and let that be visible to users when the article goes live. Not right there in the article but linked to it. Seperate out those who duped it before publication and those who duped it after. Make after dupes negatively affect karma to encourage careful checking. And don't include user links in the dupe entries.
I've often thought it wold be nice to have a low power radio station for the summer camp I work with. Wake up bell/revilie/taps, announcements, some music,stuff like that. The kids would have fun running it. We'd have to do it legal though.
7 Zip is good but you might also check out JZip. JZip looks more like Winzip which is what most users are used to.
Or try FreeExtractor which creates self extracting exe's.
I have a whole collection of Open Source Software for Windows.
I used to love Real and Real Player. Now they install so much extra junk and do everything they can to always have something running. Ugh. One of the worst offenders out there and they only install their own software.
I never thought I'd use tabbed browsing, but the more I use it the more I love it. It's wonderful to load up links in background tabs while I finish reading the current page.
How about giving me a compelling reason to look at banner ad's?
Maybe every 50th ad check my email account and use the banner ad space to tell me if I have new mail.
Occasionally stick the latest Slashdot topic or CNN News story in the banner ad space. Not as an ad for Slashdot or CNN but because I specifically requested periodic updates from those sites.
Soon I'll get in the habit of actually checking the ad banner for items of interest instead of ignoring it so throughly that I'm not even aware there is one.
MyRealBox is run by Novell as a way to show off their own mail server NIMS(which is a very nice product.) It's probably down occasionally to give them a chance to keep the server up to the latest version.
I think it's run by the same group that write the NIMS code.
It supports pop, imap and has a web based interface.
Personally I've been using usa.net for years. $12 a year forwards it to my work account. I haven't had to tell my friends about a change in my email address since despite several moves.
Abstinence Computer Security
Unplug your network cable, modem, floppy and cdrom drives, as well as any other method that enables your computer to communicate with other computers. Using this method your computer is guaranteed complete security from hackers and viruses.
Random shopping
Randomly purchases random items from random websites at random intervals.
Computerless shopping
User travels to companies store and purchases item directly from store.
Big Brother shopping
Company looks at your previous purchases, credit card statements, bank accounts, tax returns, medical records, etc., but makes everybody buy the exact same thing anyway.
Game Shopping
While ostensibly playing a computer game user is actually selecting items to be purchased by blowing them up.
Slashdot Mirror
I really really like NewsBlur, but they only keep unread data for 2 weeks worth of articles. That ruins it for me.

Well, there is always The Open CD
And of course I have to mention my site that lists open source software for Windows.

That's my site! I didn't even have to post it my self! Cool.
Now that I know some people find it useful I probably ought to update it soon.
So who's going to add this to Mozilla mail for us?
Could make for a great Outlook killer feature.
Yes you can.
You're kidding right?
They just don't label them as pre 1.0.
It's there in recent nightlies. Very cool.
Only UI that I've seen for it is under 'File Bookmark' if you have several tabs open.
I used to live in Colorado. We would drive down to Denver just to go to the Tattered Cover.
I even saw Douglas Adams there once and got an autographed copy of Last Chance to See.
Based on my experiences with software installs, you must be the only Installation Specialist in the world.
I used to love Real and Real Player. Now they install so much extra junk and do everything they can to always have something running. Ugh. One of the worst offenders out there and they only install their own software.

I bought a Tivo almost a year ago now. Never regretted it. I can't speak highly enough about my Tivo.
I reccommend you check out the AVS forums at http://www.tivocommunity.com/
Simple, they send a command down to your Tivo that tells it to no longer send the data to them.
