What youre describing sounds like streaming media over multicast. I believe (Im no expert on this) that everyone transmits to the same IP address, something like 224.0.0.0, and clients pick out what packets they want based on the sender address. The buffer overrun problem certainly hasnt been solved, but current streaming media protocols already deal with these problems (somewhat) effectively.

Actually, the first-name/last-name scheme makes dictionary-attack spamming extremely simple. Spammers dont care if they hit 1,000,000 bad addresses, all they care about is getting a few through...
Ah. And this is exactly the same as a lot of governments do with every other communications medium already. The U.S. phone companies keeps call records detailing whos calling whom, for how long and when; the post office could (not sure if they do or not) keep records of recipients and return addresses. In other words, this is no more invasive than what we deal with in the offline world already.
They should get the *.prn domain for free until they drop the *.{com,net,org} domain(s) which they should be allowed to keep for a year or two to ease the transition. But why would anyone need three *.prn-like domains? The only reason most companies register all three of *.{com,net,org} is to prevent squatters from doing the same. $PRONSITE.{net,org} nearly always just redirects to $PRONSITE.com. Major companies (not just pr0n, look at Amazon or Yahoo for example) even have their name registered in every country code also.
Creating the new *.prn domain is not a problem I would think (I cant see how identifying something for what it is is an infringement on free speech*). However, the problem lies in forcing them to give up their current *.com addresses. Maybe some kind of compromise could be reached if a holder of an adult *.com could automatically get an equivalent *.prn domain, and be allowed to hold onto the *.com for a year or two to handle the transition. Thered still be broken links out there forever, but this would at least mitigate some of the transition pains.
* I also think *.prn is a stupid name however, as the criteria for being required to get a *.prn domain seem to be broader than just pr0n. *.adt (or *.adult, there is no constraint on length anymore, just look at *.info or *.museum) would be better.
I would guess this would have something to do with Mozilla expecting valid HTML. The HTML cant be validated until the last closing tag is read, namely . Also consider that with DHTML layering, an HTML document is no longer even linear code at the end could be displayed at the top of the document, for example.
So maybe its just trying to play it safe so it doesnt muck something up when something unpredictable happens thirty lines before the end of a thousand-line download.
Do people even bother spoofing to hide their identities anymore? I thought the most common usage of spoofing was just so the machine doing the DoS doesnt have to get the reply traffic dumped on it (therefore it can send more echo requests or SYNs or whatever since it doesnt have to process the echo replies or ACKs or whatever).
Thus, if someone is going to crack 10.1.2.3 to use to DoS someone else, it doesnt matter if they can spoof outside their own network, or only over 10.1.2.4 as long as the reply traffic is not coming back to them they dont care.
Slashdot does not specifically set the charset (neither in a META tag, nor in the HTTP response headers), which is a Bad Thing when using eight-bit characters, considering any given octet (such as 0xE9, é in ISO-8859-1) is something different in nearly every character encoding. The author should have just used the ASCII-encoded HTML entity é (see ISO-8879) and it would work everywhere.
You should keep your browsers default character set as either ISO-8859-1 or Windows-1252 (these are nearly the same, except ISO undefines the characters 128159). UTF-8 is still such a marginal encoding that any page that uses it will say it does so in the headers, so you shouldnt use this as the default fall-back.
BTW: did your browser just display the single 0xE9 octet as a UTF-8 character? Mine (MSIE/5.0 for Macintosh) ate up the next two octets also. I think that 0xE9 is an octet in UTF-8 that indicates the character is 3 octets long (read the standard, it gets messy how this works), which explains why MSIE chomped the space and C following it. However, in UTF-8, all octets that are pieces of multibyte characters must have their highest bit on, so space and C are not legally allowed to follow an 0xE9.
I know the patent office has a problem finding even readily available, blatantly obvious prior art, but they do have at least 6,269,361 examples of this lying around right in front of their faces.
Oh, wait, they dont even read their own patents, do they?
Well, Ill patent it, sue everyone around me who even breathes the number four, and collect money for the next couple years until the courts rule my patent invalid. Ive already made my fortune.
Right, and Microsoft wants the code totally open (i.e., what you called free) because its not theirs. Take a look at Microsofts own code and see how free it is.
How do I consume recorded music? I play the CD. I listen to it. I play it again. Repeat ad nauseam. Nothing has been consumed. One can consume a concert event (once one has listened to it, its over, and it takes work to create another concert), and therefore it has economic value as a finite resource. Additionally, the basic supply-and-demand principle applies to a concert (my going to it deprived someone else), a principle that does not apply to infinitely-reproduceable and infinitely-reusable recorded music.
Additionally, your logic in the last paragraph is ridiculous. An artist expecting to get paid for their recorded music is akin to me expecting to get paid by my employer well after I quit, simply because theyre still using a piece of software I coded for them. The initial production of the work is worth something, economically speaking, and thats what I got paid for. Each subsequent use or copy is not.
Dunno, but eps.new.search.new.net is resetting my connections (Connection reset by peer) so I cant look at their code. Although if this is IE were talking about, there are numerous exploits that allow it to execute arbitrary instructions, not just JavaScript.
JavaScript can add bookmarks or change your homepage. One hypothetical possibility would involve changing your homepage to a frameset (from their website), one frame containing what look like UI parts (a button bar?) that they would then have control over because it is part of their site.
They definitely are up to some weird, inconsistent shit, that is for sure. HTTP and POP both report Windows software; and someone else said the FTP server also did (read through the comments, here and there). But you can download/bin/ls and `strings` reports it is most definitely a FreeBSD ELF, complete with some rather obvious RCS $Id$ tags.

Especially considering ICANN approved *.info, *.museum and a few others recently.

. . . You understand you can compile things yourself, right? Thats what the source tarballs on the download page are for.
