Their packages include one free domain registration if you choose to take advantage of it, but they also host domains that have been registered elsewhere. Click the 'Sign up now' button and you'll see your choices.
BTW, the free domain registration is in your name, not theirs, and you can transfer it away at any time. I took advantage of mine but transferred it to Netsol where the rest of my domains are. The services are still hosted by Dreamhost.

"don't use Linux on their desktop" != "don't use Linux"
I administer Linux servers, which I think would qualify me as a Linux user. I don't use these machines to read Slashdot, however. At home I use OS X and at work, like so many others, I have to use Windows.
If Saddam was willing to slip the Palestinians a few bucks for every suicide bomber (that alone is worth going to war incidentally, Israel is a US ally)...
So what should we do when Saudi Arabia, another US ally, funds those same Palestinian suicide bombers?
It might be more accurate to say that Cisco hasn't done anything to improve the quality of the Linksys line. They certainly don't need to do anything to make them worse. Linksys, in my experience, has pretty much always been utter crap.
Out of curiosity, why? While I do occasionally (read: once in a very great while) disagree with their position on something, the vast majority of their work is pretty clearly for the public good. I feel that my membership fees are well spent.
I can see someone maybe not being an active supporter if they simply aren't interested, but why "boo" them?
Hell, how about a decent Yahoo Messenger for Windows? My (small) company has standardized on YM for some reason and this is the worst application I've ever seen in my life. Pressing ESC closes a chat window? Non-searchable chat archives stored in a binary format? Non-native window styles (I've told XP to use the "Windows Classic" theme yet YM still has an XP-style title bar and buttons)? How did this thing pass quality assurance or usability testing?
Not coincidentally, today is the day I announce the Jabber server I set up to replace this piece of shit.
Have you considered moving south (assuming you're in the northern hemisphere) or finding work that gives you a more flexible schedule? Either of those seem like a more reasonable solution than mucking with the time zones yet again. I'm all for doing away with daylight savings time altogether.
Of course, Adobe's buying Macromedia nicely disposed of one of said barbarians.
How much life does Corel have left in them? The only Corel software I've seen in recent years is Wordperfect, which is absolute crap. In fact, I just spent a good portion of the past two days dealing with weird Wordperfect problems on a client site. The sooner that thing dies, the better.
The choice is left to the web site developer's preference because, generally, modern RSS/Atom aggregators can support both formats. The end user doesn't really need to know or care what format the information is provided in if they can handle both.
Interesting that they remain almost totally unknown outside of Christian circles. I've never heard of either band.
Christian music really seems to live in its own isolated world. It's pretty rare to see one acheive anything remotely like mainstream popularity. I think Creed was the most recent one to broke out, and that was years ago. I have no idea who the last one before them was.
I could make a case that the AP a) broadcasting its location and being unsecured constitutes an invitation and b) responding to my DHCP request with an IP address constitutes explicit permission.
Poor analogies involving physical property are just that: poor. Can we please discuss the issue without inventing these kinds of comparisons?
The fact that he was creepy is precisely what brought him to the attention of local law enforcement. Rights, precedent and slippery slopes aside if you act like a creep while you are in clear violation of a law, you are gonna get hooked up with a set of handcuffs pretty rapidly.
The very fact that we're debating this illustrates that he isn't in "clear violation of the law". It's debatable whether he was in violation of any law at all. If the computer trespass charge sticks, it will only be after both sides hash it out in court, and even then there will be debate on whether what he did actually constitutes trespass. This is the very opposite of "clear".
Now, I'm not a lawyer, but in my opinion, he didn't break any law at all. The huge number of public, open wireless networks around the world demonstrate that this is a common practice and that upon finding one and being issued an IP address for it, it's reasonable to assume you are allowed to use it. If the owner of the AP didn't want the network to be public, the burden is on him to secure it (and possibly the AP manufacturers for not a) securing them be default, and b) educating their customers).
Looking suspicious might be reason to get the police out there, but that alone doesn't constitute probable cause for arrest, not to mention a trumped up charge like this.
The "creep" was lucky as hell that the homeowner didn't start a tcpdump right then when he first saw him, and presented the cops with a nice and detailed log...
Lucky? Log of what? Surely you aren't assuming he's guilty of something before he's been allowed to present his side of the story?
On the other hand, have you ever looked for technical information and found it on someone's personal web site (whether a blog or not)? In my experience, after the official documentation, most technical information lives on personal sites of people who use the technology in question and write about their experiences, their tips and tricks, etc. And it's a damn sight easier than wading through mailing list archives.
A municipality (like a city) may force people to sell private property at market rates for both public use (like a highway which has been a law for years) and now also private development (like to build a shopping center or stadium) if it will benefit the public at large by means such as improving the tax base. What this does is allows a city to take a low income urban area filled with rent houses and redevelop it into a new football stadium that will add millions in taxes over the years, without having to pay $250,000 an acer to a slum lord who'se been renting 1 br. appartments for $300 a week.
While simultaneously displacing all the low income individuals/families who had to live there, and making them shoulder the burden of moving. Moving is expensive and it not something that low income families can often do easily.
You also overlook the fact that the public officials in said municipality can be corrupted, and are therefore susceptible to the kind of influence that large corporations can have when they have their eyes on a particular piece of land. In this type of situation, it essentially is the corporation displacing the homeowners, they're just doing it by way of the city officials. Either way, the homeowners end up screwed.
This kind of thing may help the city but it sure doesn't help most of the people who live in it, least of all those who have their homes seized.

I host a number of domains with Dreamhost, none of which were registered through them. What gave you the idea that they had to be?
It is if they're using anything other than Windows.

Kill or release aren't the only two options, you know.

Here's someone who's already doing this. Granted, she can't store very much data currently, but it's a start...
With all this maybe we'll finally get true alpha-channel PNG transparency in IE.
No, I'm not holding my breath.
And every day will be sunny and everyone will get their own kitten.
I'll believe it when I see it. I hope it's true, but I'm not going to hold my breath.
Microsoft created XMLHttpRequest, true, but Adaptive Path came up with the buzzword du jour that is AJAX.
No wireless. Less space than a nomad. Lame.
