My favorite quote from the dissenting panel member statement:
As the majority suggests, there may well be some narrow categories of trademarks for which the word "sucks" does not clearly disassociate a domain name from the trademark, and therefore it may be unwise to adopt a per se rule holding that "sucks" domain names can never be found confusingly similar to the trademarks they contain. But the Complainant in this proceeding does not claim to be known as a manufacturer of vacuum cleaners or suction pumps, or as a self-deprecating alternative rock band, or a test laboratory for beverage straws, or a porn star, a black hole, or any other sort of entity that people are likely to associate with sucking.
Carmack also suggests that a lot of these 'missing call' optimizations tend not to give enough improvement versus the hassle it takes to put the data together. I'd have to agree, especially with patches and releases being an everyday thing.
The guys at Inova have a KVM switch not reviewed in this article. In addition, they claim that it doesn't just switch the KeyboardVideoMouse, but all your silly devices. There's a small, pleased review of it here.
"If someone breaks into your house because you left the door unlocked, it's not YOUR fault, but the fault of whoever it was that showed the thief how to use a door knob."
Poor analogy. More like:
"If someone breaks into your house because you had a poorly made lock, it's not the lockmaker's fault, but the fault of whoever it was that told the thief about the faulty lock."
It's not as cut and dry as some of you slashdotters paint it to be. Some might even say it's closer to this:
"If someone breaks into your house because you had a lock that could be bypassed with a special lockpick, it's not the lockmaker's fault, but the fault of whoever it was that gave you the special lockpick"
Not to be mean, but I'd like to mention that this is, perhaps, the silliest argument one could have regarding this technology.
I suspect you are just trolling, but keep in mind that people use all sorts of gadgets to simulate human interaction (coke bottles, inflatable dolls, etc).
Rest easy. I don't think there will be a porn star revolt anytime soon.
IE can already do this in the beta.NET stuff.. Not only that, it can run ASP, do all sorts of database stuff, etc, locally without needing a real web server.
Late last week [April 2000], Intel became the first major vendor to claim the peer-to-peer (P2P) market for the corporate space by spearheading a standardization initiative. The company unveiled the formation of a working group to analyze the issues surrounding the deployment of P2P computing, including security, storage management and interoperability. Joining Intel in the group are Hewlett-Packard, IBM, AppleSoup, Applied MetaComputing, CenterSpan, Distributed Science, Dotcast, Enfish Technology, Engenia Software, Entropia, Groove Networks, Kalepa, MangoSoft, Popular Power, Static, United Devices, Uprizer and vtel.

oo! oo! blast me! blast me!

How else do you explain Microsoft's success then? That's exactly what they're doing.
I would like a Jave IDE that saves my files in a persistant format. (The opposite of how Slashdot handles Java IDE comments.)
Perhaps Sun thought it an infringement to mention Java(tm) without mentioning that Java is a trademark of Sun Microsystems, Inc.

Did anyone else notice that his salary began with 666? Is that an omen or what?
But if his house had termites and were afraid yours would get them as well, would you break in and start spraying those termites?
I doubt it.
How do we know this story wasn't made up by some hacker who posted it on the SecurityFocus website?
Sheesh, talk about gullable!
I love this guy. Where do I donate to his cause?
If malicious hacking has to exist, it should certainly be in the style of The Onion.
The last time something this big happened, someone ended up getting nuked.
