To: xxxxxxxxxxxxx From: service@godaddy.com Subject: A WARNING TO OUR CUSTOMERS
Please be aware that Verisign, Inc. (formerly Network Solutions) is sending via the US Mail, what we believe to be deceptive and predatory domain expiration notices.
The purpose behind these notices is to get the unsuspecting customer to transfer to and renew their domain name(s) with Verisign Inc. at significantly higher prices.
The domain expiration notices are designed so that it is not obvious that the notices are from Verisign, Inc. as opposed to Go Daddy Software. To see a copy of one of these deceptive expiration notices, please go to the following URL: http://www.godaddy.com/gdshop/private_vsrn.asp?dis play=letter.
Those customers who fall prey to the Verisign, Inc. scheme will have their domain name(s) renewed at a price more than 3 times higher than would be the case if they renewed with Go Daddy Software.
For a.com,.net or.org domain name renewal, the victimized customer would pay $29.00 to Verisign, Inc. instead of the $8.95 charged by Go Daddy Software.
Those customers who fall prey to this scheme, will not receive any better service or value. They will however be tricked out of $20.05 per domain name.
Renewal notices from Go Daddy Software are sent via email, and always mention the Go Daddy name. You can be sure that any communications you receive concerning your domain name that do not explicitly and obviously display the Go Daddy name are not from Go Daddy Software.
If you believe, as we do, that this practice of Verisign Inc. is misleading, predatory and improper, we invite you to make your feelings known by writing to ICANN (who is the governing body for all Registrar?s and Registries) and to Verisign Registry. Email links for both are provided below.
Sincerely,
Bob Parsons, President Go Daddy Software, Inc.

In-Mike Thomas says: We remain committed to delivering high speed cable Internet service now and in future.
In-Mike Thomas says: I assure you that you will not face any service disruption from excite going down.
sounds good, just hope it is true. The only other option I have (that I can find) here in Seattle is Quest/MSN dsl... and that would just suck.
Stephen Baxter is someone who I've never heard mentioned when it comes to SF. I'm not sure why, because he uses SF as a platform to write great stories about people.
Some of his books include: Raft, Ring, Timelike Infinity, and Moonseed. The Xeelee books (Ring, Raft, and many more) deal with the entire history of the universe. He also goes quite deep into String theory.
I don't think that his name will be as big as Wells or Asimov and thats too bad, because his works are just good fiction, even outside of SF.
... a great feature in the software. You can play a cd, tape, etc. and 'record what you hear'. So you can hook up your cd player to your line in and record it just like you did with tapes. Then you have an unencoded wave file that you can convert to.mp3 or.ogg ( you DID keep an old copy of your.mp3/.ogg player/recorder right? ). I know that its a pain in the ass, but its a way around the crap that the industry is handing out. I just hope that someone takes the industry to court because you can still make a backup COPY of you music/games/programs. The industry will only step on us as long as we let them, bitchin will not change anything, action can.
This is great, I run a dualboot 800mhz duron box with an asus GF3 and 512 Megs of pc133. Win98se and RedHat 7.1 ( with 2.4.3-12 kernel )
I ran the win32 Test ( with det 4 drivers ) at 1024x768 and 16bit textures. I was getting frame rates in the range of 9 to 32
I ran the linux Test ( with det 3 drivers ) at 1280 x 1024 and 32bit textures. I wasn't getting any frame rate below 45.
I'm going to pin this one up as a victory for linux games. When Wolf comes out, I am going to buy the linux version even if I need to wait for a while. Is anyone else having the same types of results from the two tests?
I was excited to find that someone posted something for the new Linux user on/. (most of the users here give the impressoin that they have been using Linux from 1.0.0).
My only question is... Why link to a story if the only way you can read it is if you use Adobe programs? Can anybody point me where I could find a good FAQ, or book IN print for the Win to linux person? Thanks
How many cycles does this calculation take?
A software co. could right some software and run it through a cluster to find where in pi the program was. The size of the software could be 10 bits or 10 gigs, but you would only need to download simple equation and plug it into your PiWare program. But then what would we all do with our bandwidth?

People tearing apart tv's and such is a great Idea... If the person is stupid, they will be a great Darwin award canadate.
