If it wasn't for domain names email addresses might be as complicated as a phone number, and who can remember those. Or worse yet a street address. They've got street numbers, states, zip codes, suite numbers; It's a wonder the mail ever finds me.
I think everyone here missed the fact that he was talking about CDs. It was sarcasm. Sorry to be so "smart guy" like, but until they create a puncuation for sarcasm, we just need to keep on our toes.
I suggest the plus sign, because it could signify sarcasm while being sarcastic itself.
Go ahead mod me down for being off topic, just when I was was feeling good about my 2 point karma.
Does anyone else see a striking similarity between the ICANN and Windows logos? Also the name, "I can", after Gates was supposedly denied the ability to buy the internet just works my paranoia nerve.
I think most people in there 20s are clued in to the suckness that is Viacom(aka. Mtv)
It's good that Mtv is offering a product to the few who aren't. The ones who will drool over B. Spears even though she just looks like a chick at the mall. The ones who will buy an m&m[sic] record because he's "bad ass" even though he's a dude that sings for a living.
It's good that Mtv offers a product to help these kids with their school work. They're gonna need it.
They're called IP adresses. It's time we got back to them. It's like the early days of telephone. You could pick up the receiver and say, "I'd like to speek to Bill". After a while you needed to be more specific. "Bill Gates or Bill T. Cat, sir?" "Cat please." Now you there are so many people on the phone system that you need to fall back on numbers. The number system is already in place for the internet.
With seach engines,hyperlinks and bookmarks. Nobody needs to know a name for a webpage anymore.
No more fighting for domain names
No more "who gets a.org"
NO more "Well, I guess we need to buy OURCOMPANY.biz/.info now."
Just a number system, and users.
What about the dozen or so people who live in Nevada? Will they move to Wyoming? I don't think Wyoming can handle a dozen more people. The eight it has now is crowded enough.
Robotic weaponry is better in the long run. Because, now while we're friends with the Northern Alliance we can give them the smart weapons. But then, ten years down the line when they're our enemy and using the weapons against us, we can dial in and reprogram the robots to kill THEM.

You would if you were looking for sweaty monkeys.
MP3 quality is nerve <blink>damaging</blink>[sic]
The consumtion of digital music in the early 90s caused the increasing flood of banal music.
Hear crap; expect crap; buy crap.
Go listen to a vinyl record tonight. Listen to the hi-hats in the songs and take note of the fact that you can hear them.

...does this technology bring us any closer to having lightsabers? If not, then we need to shift our focus!
Magnets schmagnets, lets just tie a long rope to the space station and we can climb up, like in gym class.
