Regarding the Verisign survey...more information about it is in
this article. Excerpts: The survey, a telephone poll of 1,000 internet users who could recall seeing Site Finder, was conducted by Markitecture and Harris Interactive and commissioned by VeriSign. It has a margin of error of plus or minus 5%
On the opposing side, Tucows Inc, a domain name registrar that competes with VeriSign, said a poll of its resellers (generally ISPs and web hosting companies) indicated that 90% of respondents wanted Site Finder turned off.
Here is the story from July of an outfit getting 310km using WiFi from ground to a balloon. This was done by Alvarion and the Swedish Space Corporation and acknowledged by Guinness (as in world records not as in beer).
what are the chances - using the search page that comes up at the verisign site to search for "register" we find at the top of the list a link to networksolutions.com (a verisign company). we also note that searching for the same word at google
does not result in that site being present in at least the first four pages of results.
yeah - thats a real useful search tool verisign has there - thanks so much.

Incorrect A.C., That link accepts a payment from you *if* you decide to fill in your account number and passphrase, preview, and then confirm the transaction. Otherwise nothing interesting happens. i.e. there is no hidden benefit to anyone clicking that link.
any of the gold based systems. for example e-gold.com (800,000+ account holders, averaging ~1-2 million USD plus in transactions per day, fee for a 25 cent transaction is.25 cents worth of gold).
see a comparison of 8 of these type of systems here.
how hard is it to accept 25 cents worth of gold? click 100998-USD.25.e-gold.com to pay.25 worth of gold.
Gold-Stores seems to use the XML interface to allow the user to shop seamlessly at Amazon yet use payment mechanisms, such as Moneybookers, e-gold, E-bullion, Pecunix, and EvoCash, that Amazon does not directly accept.
(check out the route on mapquest, nice curving path, not a straight line.)
why do i say this?
cuz lakeview website says it themselves! look at the link i had again and notice in the " SCALE DISTANCE FROM LAKEVIEW" entry for Pluto the words "64 km (40 miles)"
"The Maine model is not the largest, and Peoria, IL, my hometown, has had the largest model for many years now, the Pluto model (in Kewanee, IL) being over 60 miles away from the sun model."

A fascinating natural topic - see more here where the Golden Angle and its close relationship to the Golden Ratio (Mean) is described.

slashdot - give us an option to pay with e-gold.
e-gold is to paypal/creditcards
as
linux is to windows.

Neat!

Put together a "Work of Art" and I'll buy it complete!
Push out 1 hit + 9 filler songs and you don't deserve to argue this line!
For example, you would be a fool to buy singles off these "Works of Art":
Alan Parsons _I Robot_
Van Morrison _Hard Nose to the Highway_
Lucinda Williams _World Without Tears_
Jennifer Warnes - _Famous Blue Raincoat_
