The *.internic.net forwards there now. You need to dig around until you find the right place to go.
What pisses me of most about this, is their blurb about also registering.net and.org domains when you get a.com. It's unquestionably nauseating for the group in charge of name registration to promote namespace pollution.
I like the new system. From what I have seen, you can signifcantly cut down the SNR by setting your ordering preference to High Score First, and either ignoring anything past where things start to degrade, or increasing your threshold to something above 1.

Oh yeah... all of a sudden the spooks are credible public experts on techology issues. Is it just me, or is it really suspicious for a group that thrives on disorder and disruption to be peddling more crap scare-stories to the ignorant public? CIA + FEMA + y2k =... you do the math.
I was not defending this particular issue. I was simply refuting the previous AC's claims (are you the same AC? I wouldn't be surprised.) that, just because he is charging money for it, it's not free.
Please tell me where a literate person would fail to get that meaning from my previous post.
(Of course, posting at a literate level on Slashdot is probably a silly thing to do, considering the average mentality of the posters around here. Next time I'll try to keep it to 10 words or less, and spike it with profanity and excessive punctuation. Would that help the MTV burnouts?)
IIRC, "Guru Meditation Number", followed by the appropriate number. Also recall a cute story about how the line came to be, but don't recall it. Might be in the Jargon File?
And if your search engine ignores the robots file, you shouldn't be using it anyway.
Bad robot. No cookie.
Of course, that assumes the folks running the web servers are knowledgeable enough (and care enough) to set it up properly. In this day and age... sign.
I'm currently using the latest release of GnuPG, and have been for a little while... surprised it's never been mentioned on Slashdot before. it seems to be very high quality, conforming to the OpenPGP spec, and can be broken to play nice with PGP 5 and 6, and somewhat with 2.x.
Odd this should turn up... I posted to my local LUG list about it this morning, just on a whim.

But then, that's corporate greed for you.
Fucking dinosaurs. Get out of our digital age.

I like it as it is.
Proud loon checking in.

I'd rather be able to customize my system, instead of having some magical RPM fairy decide where stuff needs to go.
Oh yeah... and I can install Slackware onto an 80 meg partition. Try that with your Red Hat, monkey boy.
[For those too dense to notice the emoticon, this post expresses the way I feel, but wasn't meant to be inflamatory.]
Slackware forever.

Angband kicks Nethack butt. :) So much so, I got my non-geek girlfriend hooked on it... We sit around at night, I read, and she plays Angband... heh.

One more time, for those of you too dense to get it the first thousand times around.
Free software does not mean you have to give it away -- it simply means you make no claims to it after someone else has it.
Katz could very legitimately only SELL his book. As long as you were allowed to duplicate and re-distribute it, it's free.
Next time, get your head out of your ass before posting, please.

Ahh.... I was the man with my 99/4-A, peripheral expansion box, extra ram, speech synth, floppy drive... and 300 baud acoustic coupling modem.

My parents used to always kid me about running around in my bathrobe writing "podams" before I started going to school. heh.
I recently bought a TI from a friend. The nostalgia is great. I love being able to play parsec again.
/robots.txt is your friend.
