So were there three links to www.extraghost.com before they wrote the page, or after? And which one of the band members works at Inktomi? And will it be four after I post this comment?
To me it appears that the unistrokes alphabet is designed for speed of entry while the grafiti alphabet is designed for rapid learning. There is an obvious correlation between grafiti strokes and the letters they represent, whereas unistrokes are pretty much random.
And if they've just patented a way of entering characters via strokes, well, that's pretty obvious when it's your only method of input. Not that obviousness seems to matter to patents anymore.
I ordered three packages online; two on the 21st that were sent three-day shipping and one on the 23rd that was overnighted. I tracked them online and everything looked good, until I went to my mailbox at Parcel Plus where they were shipped to and found out that they were closed on the 24th! Bastards.
Apparently previously if you registered a domain you would receive an invoice within 30 days from NSI. If you didn't pay it in the first 30 days, they'd send you another one. After 60 days you'd get a shut down notice, and if you disregarded that for 30 more days you'd get a second shut down notice. If you finally hadn't paid after 120 days they'd unregister the domain. Of course, you would know the exact day it would be unregistered and could just register it again... so cybersquatters could string along as many domains as they wanted without paying. And they usually didn't.
Now if you want to register 10 silly domains you'll have to cough up the $700 on the spot. It will be interesting to see if the sleazier cybersquatters turn to credit card fraud.
Personally, I think domains should be more expensive, not less; I like to think about trademark applications, which cost $250 to apply for (and is not refunded if your application is denied). I think it should all be a monopoly and cost about $1000 per.com/.net domain, that would really put an end to cybersquatting.
Tried the app under the Palm OS emulator and it crashed again. I then downloaded it using IE instead of Netscape and it ran fine on both the emu and my device.
Checking the file size gives: 5491 bytes when downloaded w/Netscape (corrupt) 5446 bytes when downloaded w/IE
Anyone know why Netscape is downloading it this way?
Thanks to the people who helped me save my data, too -- that reset/hold up trick worked great.
Downloaded the prc, put it on the install list, and hotsynced... then my Palm popped up an error message, and when I hit cancel it reset and now it just sits with the "Welcome to Palm III" screen draining my batteries. The power button doesn't even work. I've hit reset a few times and it does the same thing.
Anyway, don't know if it was Windows or what, I've got nothing fancy on my Palm Pilot (not even HackMaster) so I don't know why it's doing this. Any ideas? I think I've got to take out the batteries and let the memory flash to get the thing back...

See for yourself:
Grafiti strokes
Unistrokes

I think it was in 1984. Here's hoping they'll release a Baby Bezos pinball game!
is that now people know I'm using an ATI Rage Pro. I'm so embarrassed!!!

.com/.net domain, that would really put an end to cybersquatting.
