  1. Seems reasonable on Amazon.com, The Bodyguard · · Score: 3, Informative

    That's $550/hour. Better than the $160,000/hour some ceos make

  2. Control on Vint Cerf Answering Questions on Top-Level Domains · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Given that top level domains were initially created to give a sense of order to the internet, before user@schoolname was more the rule, it seem .com would ONLY be given to commercial groups, .net to networks, etc. I was reading RFC 1480 and it looks like even as late as 1993 a restructure of the US domain system could have been created along the lines of how foreign countries do it. bbc.co.uk would thus be a british site, and bbc.co.us could be bbc americas domain. Instead we have a hodgepodge of international mixes. Thus my question is, why all the chaos in how they were assigned?

  6. I decided! on Newest iPod vs. the Nomad Zen NX? · · Score: 1

    I finally decided. two factors. One, you can't find the NX in stores yet. Two, the ipod is so much cooler. So I got the ipod. I'm setting it up on my XP machine right now.

    in south america the buildings that last are the square mayan/aztec design. they survive where others fall down.
