I am highly concerned about the recent slashdot.org story that your company has recently removed scientology information from your index, select pages from xenu.net and operation clambake.org. It shocks me that all it takes is one letter to knock an opposing voice out of the arena. This will seriously ruin your search engines reputation, especially in the 1st ammendment society we live in.

Thank you for your note about the Xenu.net website.
Google takes the first amendment very seriously. We are also obligated to follow the laws of the land. We removed some pages of the Xenu.net website from our search engine earlier this week in response to a copyright infringement notification under the Digital Millenium Copyright Act (DMCA). It is not within our discretion as a company to decide when to conform to the DMCA and when to ignore it. As the DMCA mandates, Google also provides webmasters with the ability to have their content reinstated if they submit a counter notification to Google. Until that action is taken, we will comply with the DMCA and keep the contested pages out of our index. If you'd like more information on this topic, you can find it here:
www.google.com/dmca.html or by searching Google for "DMCA"
I think one of the things most users forget regarding GPL issues is the ability to contact the author(s) and try and negotiate a new license (such as BSD style or commercial), possibly for a fee. It doesn't ruin the spirit of the GPL for other users and allows you to keep military secrets secret.
How many "clients" on EFNet are bots and how many are actual users.
I'd put money on the fact that the actual user count has gone way down since inception, EFNet is about 75% eggdrop bots holding channels or nick holders.
And 25% of those are probably Mark's bots.
Quantity never equalled quality. While EFNet may never die, Opers on EFNet need to wake up to some cold hard facts:
1) Channels have owners.
2) Nicks have owners.
When Opers maintain a policy of not getting involved in such disputes, parties involved will go to war to maintain control, turning EFNet servers into a battle ground.
Finally, as the servers start dying out and the leftist liberals running them can no longer maintain the anarchy of script kiddies, warez and kiddie porn, the only way to save the network is to run services that keep order.
I checked out the company theshell.com. It seems they offer vhosts for IRC.
Basically this "business" is an eggdrop site/ shell whore site for script kiddies. Also it's been noted in previous posts that the domain was registered AFTER battlebots.com was.
This is no case of a corporation going after a little guy, this is a case of a script kiddie/wannabe admin/etc whining because his leet domain is trademarked.
IRC has broken down into lame vhosts, theshell.com seems no exception.
Before you go sending off those letters to battlebots.com...just look at this:(I'm assuming with 99% certainty he owns the entire ip block)

Since Robert Cringley seems to end up on/. often and his ideas often can be modded +1 insightful or intresting, why doesn't slashdot just try and pick up a cheap distribution license.
My library is filled with reference manuals and some books of algoritms. Basic technique books also might be a good add.
I think a core book should be Jamsa's C/C++ Programmer's Bible By Kris Jamsa and Lars Klander.
I also keep a 4.0 reference to QuickBasic...which was beat the hell out of in my earlier years. I wouldn't recommend that for a library though.
Best I can figure...if you need portal software, Postnuke or PHPNuke would work fine and can handle RSS and "Reputation" fine via slashdot like moderation. Either Nuke can receive or send RSS feeds, and it's much more robust than Reptile.
If one wants to do java and XML, Cocoon from apache is greatly suited to that task. I haven't seen portal software written for it.
Best I can figure from this project, they want to use some sort of decentralized authentication scheme and are calling it "Reputation." They are tied to some sort of goofy Sierra Reputation thing.
Best I can tell, people are desperate for a competitor to.NET, this isn't it. Slashdot, your companion site Freshmeat is for 0.0.1 software. I don't think even the author has figured out what Reptile is for.
1942: Enrico Fermi, and a team of scientists, operated the first man-made nuclear reactor under a football field at the University of Chicago. A cadmium control rod was suspended over the pile with a rope. Should something have gone wrong, a scientist was to cut the rope with an ax, thereby dropping the rod into the reactor, hopefully solving the problem. Ever since then an emergency shutdown has been called a SCRAM, which stands for "safety control rod ax man".
Homegrown reactors are evil.

The story... Chicago, at University of Chicago, a group of students creates a nuclear reactor on the football field. The first uncontrolled nuclear reaction ever (1942)...had to be stopped by a guy running up with an ax.
Using the word organic threw me off...from dictionary.com:
organic (ôr-gnk)
adj.
7. Chemistry. Of or designating carbon compounds.
Whew, what a relief. Confusion with Definition 1: (Of, relating to, or derived from living organisms: organic matter.) gets me thinking that I'd have to water or feed my monitor!
Maybe I can gather about 500 fireflies and create a old Burroghs Green screen terminal...
Does anyone have a link to the actual process?

Great, informative reply. Why it is at 0 moderation is beyond me. Wonder if it has something to do with that RTBL crap.

Don't forget the dot com flameout...EFNet also once had 250+ servers...now it's down to 38.
38 servers on EFNet now, 38 servers on EFNet...
Take it down by DOSin it around...
37 servers on EFNet now...

Figures a lame takeover pup/ warez kiddie is on AOL.
Fusion reactors don't appear in Simcity 2000 and 3000 until about 2050!
Go go gadget independent confirmation!
Western Illinois University is closed as well. You can probably assume every University will be closed today.
