I was referring more to the idea of using a domain such as afamousepersonsname.com, and hacing forward to youradfilledshittyportal.com
For the record, I own the 3 domains, one of whice, tylereaves.com, I use exclusivlely as an e-mail address, and backups of some vital files. (Yes, they are backed up to CD-R too, but hey, I'm paranoid.
Yes, but it only imcompasses at most.5% of the Internet, and that's being pretty fenerous imo. What if the size increased by a factor of 200. It'd be a bloody mess.
...run ads like every other channel? Bingo, no more funding problems, and no more annoying telethons. I realise that PBS is sorta a niche market, but then, so is, the History channel.
It seems to me that if someone registers a domain name, and then puts real content on it, they then have the right to that site. However, if they register a name, and forward it to a generic site, that is obviously abuse.

I'm a pilot, don't have my license quite yet, but I have done a lot of flying.
Problem #1 - This is very impractical. Metro areas have more air traffic than they can handle to begin with.
Problem #2 - This is very expensive. For one thing, solar power as a means of powering manned aircraft has never been practical. Right now the one's that are available can lift MAYBE 300 pounds, and we're already talking large biz jet sizes. To carry 2 pilots and loads of telcom gear? Now you're talking probably at least a 200ft wingspan. Even using composites and the like out the ying yang, this bird is gonna be a real ostrich, that is very big and it won't fly real well. The main reason is that the only way to get power from solar energy with an airplane is with propellars. Even the most powerful prop plane in the world, the Russian TU-95 Bear, which has 8 17ft propellors, driven by almost 31,000HP, stuggles above 40,000ft.
Okay, enough rambling, basically, if these guys even make a 1/4 scale flying model of one of these beasts, my hats off to 'em, but I'll still think they're looney.....

If this has you so freakin' paranoid, MOVE SOMEWHERE ELSE! It's really that simple...
Wha? You mean they aren't already 100% sell out?

And the ODP will last, what, 2, maybe 3 hours?

ISDN, BAH! You can get basically the same speed with a 'shot gun' dual 56k, for a hell of a lot less money...
..it has been announced today that any device with a screen smaller than 6 inches does in fact suck beyond a shadow of a doubt.....

Yes, agreed, good point.
