Names that are generic terms shouldn't be registered at all, it's unfair for one company to get that much marketing advantage over another. If Joe Shmoe is looking for sprockets, the first thing he's probably going to type is www.sprockets.com. It's really not fair to hand that domain over to Cogswell Cogs and exclude Spacely's Sprockets.
I agree with the idea, but what happens if the name of the company is "News Corportation" or "Sports Store"? What if you're the only company in the world to sell widgets, do you keep the "widget.com" domain until someone else makes them? Not to mention that there is no overall definition to the term "generic". Is "Xerox" a generic term or not? Does it give them an advantage in the copier market?
Do you exclude anything that shows up as a single word in the dictionary? Do you require everyone to have a URL like "widgetstore.com?"
I agree in principle, but I don't think there is any way to get rid of the generic names. It would be a HUGE administrative headache... probably why they dropped it when the Internet started getting super-popular.
I did some basic searches to see if I could find the campaign contribution record of Fritz Hollings, the bozo that is behind this outrage. I couldn't find anything, but I doubt that matters... but we do need to know who is master is.
What does matter is that these groups made HUGE soft money contributions to BOTH sides in the last election. These corporate companies (like Microsoft and entrainment companies) are using the soft money system to rule the country. This is the root of these outrageous bills, and they will continue until the corporate rule of America is fixed.
We don't only need to educate about the moral outrages of this current bill, we have to fight the soft money structure. We need to get soft money banned. People complain this restricts speech, but this structure is actually HINDERING speech because the small guy is getting drowned out; getting rid of soft money actually PROTECTS free speech (and free speech should be based on the individual, not the corp.) We need Campaign finance reform, and we need it BADLY.
I looked up Falwell's web site. This story is apparently a hoax, at least according to Falwell. See Fallwell's site. I see nothing about Robertson's possible statements.
I don't like these guys. These people are not christian. They are not religious. These people are only businessmen, and worse they are almost a type of terrorist themselves. They would love to see every person that doesn't fit with their "righteous" beliefs to die. They don't want the "evil non-christian" to hold citizenship in this country. They would love the nuke the middle-east. These people are the American counterparts to religious Islam fanatics.
If you want to tell them your opinion of these possible statements, you can go to this CBN Feedback page. Falwell has a feedback address at jerry@falwell.com.
But, Katz... this was really not appropriate today.
You made yourself a part of this story. This story is not about you. Hell, it's not really about technology. This is about thousands of people that died because some idiot wanted to make a point.
It's really sad you had to post a grandstanding article on such a terrible day.
I am listening to "Marketplace" on my public radio station. The devistation to the financial markets in the U.S. and world will be huge. The "bombings" were without a doubt a frontal assalt on our financial structure; a direct swipe at capitalism.
Morgan Stanley Dean Witter, Dutchebank, and hundreds of the bigtime names in the financial world had their main offices in that building. Thousands of U.S. dollars filtered through those offices.
I don't want to minimize the loss of life by a long shot... this is obviously what we need to center our thoughts on right now, but just a notice that this will have major reprocussions on the economy of the United States and the world. The dollar is going to lose a lot of value in the coming days, and who knows what account information was lost in the attack.
The world will go on. The markets will continue. We will continue... but we need to all get ready for a fight!

outlook.microsoft.com was an open SMTP server!!
I used it when I was out of town because our university doesn't allow SMTP outside of their own IP addresses.
These are the guys that are going to give you the best service? Come on...
As usual, it's all about money..

Just stack one of these babies on top of a P4!
Why the heck not? This actually sounds like a great idea to reclaim wasted energy... it isn't being used for anything important.

Star Trek: The Animated Series: First season

First of all, what the heck *IS* Star Trek cannon?? The continuity changes every episode!
Second, I have been told by people that know better than me that certain continuity regarding Spock revealed on TAS has been followed.
So.. you have to do better...

Mod this down if you will, but this is *NOT* the FIFTH Trek series.. this is the *SIXTH* trek series.
You can see the episode guide of Star Trek: The Animated Series here.

Was it me, or did Bush declare War in his latest speach (10:55 EDT) ?
It sounds like he wants enough money to run war opps (as well as relief efforts).
The parent comment will be modded to flamebait... but I think I have to agree with it.
There was nothing said in that statement. As usual, Bush couldn't even read it properly.
At least we're going to go after 'em...
Go ahead and mod this down...
