  1. Re:Don't register with Network Solutions! on Network Solutions "Owns" Your Domain Name! · · Score: 1

    So if we register elsewhere, is it save to say we "own" the domain? Daniel daniel@splink.net

    Or for 25k a day you can rent the 60,000 pound firebreathing car eater Robosaurus.

    I remember that thing at a local air show a few years ago... They got it all up and running, it started spewing fire .. then it shut off. Quite disappointing..

    My dialup ISP says the following on their status page:

    "Customers are experiencing the inability to reach certain websites due to issues with a major nationwide backbone provider. Many ISP's are affected and we will continue to update you on it's progress as it becomes available to us."

    Anyone confirm that?

  7. Re:You have 2 options on Distributed.net Has Lost Some Team Association · · Score: 1

    It might just be me, but I find it very difficult to listen to an Anonymous Coward.. I'm sure much of the /. community agrees with me.. Your points seem valid, but posting it under a story about distributed.net as an Anonymous Coward makes much of the /. take your posts less seriously. Just my opinion..

  8. Re:Costs, etc on Laser Vision Correction? · · Score: 2

    From what I've read/heard, the "touchup" is done so they never go "too far" in the surgery.. They can "touchup" and do a little bit more, but never take back what has already been done..

  10. Re:School shootings and Quake on New York Times profiles John Romero & John Carmack · · Score: 1

    I can only speak for myself as a teen, but when I look at a game, I see it as a game. I wonder what kind of algorithms were used to program and try to find ways to push those few extra fps out of it. Never have I ever had any thought about connecting games and real life. Like another poster said, people have to take responsibility for their actions. I'm not sure what this post was supposed to say, but I'm sure I said it.. :)
