Wow, Mosaic! I remember running up the NCSA http daemon on my un*x workstation, we didn't have 'desktops' in those days, and starting to create my output in HTML/gif vs. emailing a Lotus Freelance presentation. Heady times. Especially after tables were invented.
I found an ancient backup of my slackware 1.X floppies and a mosaic executable a few years back and gave VMWare a go. Slack couldn't grok the hardware vmware presented (this was Workstation ~2.X) but I did get a screenshot of Mosaic!
1) They're buying 'insurance' so they won't get out-lawyered and sued out of existence by an 800 pound gorilla in the future, a gorilla that out foxed the US Justice Department IMO, and did it while the *rest* of the US government was still paying them money ass over tea kettle to do it. 2) They're paying 'protection money', like insuring your store from the mob and an 'accidental' burning.
There's probably more I haven't thought of, and while I don't agree with their decision or understand their motives, it's not my business to run.
When my kids were in elementary school, my wife volunteered there quite a bit, mostly helping with the massive amount of paperwork required these days.
One day she was in my daughter's room when a site-wide page came across the intercom for some name she didn't recognize or remember, but the teacher knew what to do. She walked over to the classroom door, closed it, told the kids it was reading time and to move to the 'reading area'. The teacher turned off the main classroom lights, sat in front of the kids and my wife, and started reading them a story. About 20 minutes later, another site-wide page was issued, she finished up the chapter, told the kids to return to their desks, re-opened the door, turned the main lights back on, and started back where she'd left off once everyone got settled back in.
When my wife left ~20 minutes later, there were police everywhere. It appears someone had spotted a 'gunman' in the woods nearby, and this was basically a lockdown. The threat was non-existant (it was a tech working on a cell tower located behind the school, he had a large drill that at a distance could be mistaken for a weapon I suppose), but it was obvious the teachers were trained. Had they ever done this as a drill? My kid's didn't know, heck, it's just a teacher reading to them, nothing out of the ordinary. But my wife said there was no confusion or alarm on either the staff or children's parts she witnessed.
On subsequent trips the school for Parent Teacher confs/etc, we noticed that the 'reading area' was on the wall with the door, but in the farthest corner in all the classrooms, so looking in through the little 24x6" vertical window, you couldn't see anyone in the classroom when they were over there. We assume the teacher locked the door when she shut it.
Had it been lunchtime or something, who knows how it would have been handled? But it didn't look to my wife like the first time they'd done it. And we both thought it was an excellent way to handle the situation for the kids.
Guess Pravda doesn't cover 'Global Warming' and the Russians were expecting the Bering Land Bridge and pave from there? That's pretty remote landscape for both sides. A great deal of money is spent just to get goods up there to keep the residents in the 21st century. I was thinking that linking the 2 sides for truck/rail trade seemed crazy at first glance...
Oh, the *FA* part of *RTFA*.
"as part of a $65 billion project to supply the U.S. with oil, natural gas and electricity from Siberia."
Yeah, it's tunnel. But it'll be all pipes. Or tubes. Something like that. Russia will keep them full unless politics is involved.
The kids were off school last week and we spent it in DC as touristas. We stood in line at the National Archives, and I saw in person the Declaration of Independence, Bill of Rights. and Constitution. They still exist, even if not in play right now. As Randall said in 'Clerks II', we need to "Take It Back".

I had a free weekend when the family was out of town and spent quite a bit of it in front of the game. I'm driving home from work Monday on the interstate, taking a 2 lane offramp from I285 to I75, and notice the guy in the left hand lane starting to come over on me. *instinctively* (I kid you not), I hit the gas, move a little further right onto the emergency lane checking out the perfect place on his rear quarter panel that I could give a nudge to spin him out.
Now, I recovered before I actually DID it (and laughed all the way home that I'd been that stupid), but hey, I can see it happening. And I had a 2 second buffer, he had plenty of room to pull over without trying to cut me off if he'd waited just a little longer. a**hat.

Well I certainly HOPE it's outbound, that's all that makes sense. I was a DirecTV-DSL subscriber running my personal domains when they 'got out of the business'. When I came up on Earthlink, I was greeted by that same port 25 outbound block:
Works for me... If I'm a spammer or have a mis-configured MTA that allows open relay, I would totally understand them blocking me. My neighbor I allow to slurp off my DSL via WIFI runs XP and I found I was blocking port 25 traffic from him! If he was still using their dialup (or broadband) and they didn't have that block in place, he'd have been the classic '70 yr old running a spam relay'. He now understands the joys of AV and Spyware, and LOVES mozilla.
I'd much rather the IP space I'm living on not end up on a RBL and live with the thought they *might* be reading the mail sent from my domain.

There's 2 ways to look at it that I see:
1) They're buying 'insurance' so they won't get out-lawyered and sued out of existence by an 800 pound gorilla in the future, a gorilla that out foxed the US Justice Department IMO, and did it while the *rest* of the US government was still paying them money ass over tea kettle to do it.
