That all sounds pretty good in theory. thing is, of the ~50 disputes settled under the UDRP, only one was found in favor of the original domain holder and against the trademark holder. in the end, it squashes the little guy.
ICANN's UDRP (uniform domain dispute resolution procedure?) is a much better landscape to analyze this question on. at ICANN's recent meeting in Cairo, they decided to create a list of "internationally famous marks". Coke would almost definitely be on this list. no "marks" on the list would be allowed to be registered under ANY tld, including country tlds, unless you are the trademark holder.
actually, this may not even be the UDRP, but ICANN certainly has something to say on this matter. btw, guess who gets to compile the list of famous marks for ICANN? WIPO.
Model 100s are pretty damn cool. Mine works great as a portable terminal for a headless linux box. Plus, 4 AAs ran me for the better part of 3 or 4 months... before I recharged them and put them back in.:)
Highlight mode is pretty cool. however, what if (maybe int the indexed modes) messages above the highlight threshold were actually highlighted? put 'em in red or some other stand-out color... just a thought.

GPL curses-based hotline for unix. even does file transfers. who needs WINE? ;)
(yes) do that. I wanna use it. I wanna improve it. come on, Rob. cvs is your friend.

patent stuff, I figured. they moved away from that logo when "mosaic netscape" became just netscape.
The new features rock pretty hard, but come on Rob, I'd love to use slash 0.3(ish) and contribute. CVS IT!
