Liek Ophix suggested above, I myself haven't had any problems with said registrar, but note that they keep phone lines open for their registrants so you can sort this out, and my experience is that they're more than willing to bend over backwards for their registrants.
You know, AOL has been doing this "AOL turbo makes the internet go faster" thing, by showing precisely what it isn't for (IE, souping your motorcycle or car up without interesting side effects).
On that note, perhaps something similar, IE it won't protect you from overflowing your cup of coffee?
Counter to that: it's a lot easier to track, serve, and enforce against a snail address than it is to get that info out of an ISP, with PO Boxes being a middle ground somewhere.
Wasn't a joke, just sarcasm-flavored snide commentary. Comes off of a running HHOS joke about how if MS only opensourced their code, it would be cleaned up in a month or less.
I see your point there, and a recent insight has it that any closed source company will test the code for weeks before committing to a release. Looks crufty, but I kind of see why they do this.
Not to mention, you're right about it being bad for MS, but it's all largely on a PR front from what you indicate.
The engine is already overbloated and lacks optimization. I've seen it take down a 3 GHz machine with 512 MB RAM just by running simple scripts. If this is what closed source gets us, I sure as hell don't want it.
Debris was spotted flying away from dacarr's mouth as he coughed violently on the bus home from work. Some of this debris may be teeth, his soft palate, throat lozenges, his uvula, or altoids.
If you so much as put a contact email on either republicans' or democrats' website, they start sending you junk emails telling you what's going on. I did that once on both, and had to fight like hell to get removed.
As such, these are people who just send the emails to you if you're in their pools anyway. It's not really "spam", as the messages are generated for a list they collect (and they have the flyspeck-3 click-through I-agree-to-get-spammed clause somewhere), but it is annoying as hell.
Something poking fun at RPGs? Would this then make it the Excel Saga of VRPGs?
Relying on that for med advice is bad anyway

I among other people on rec.pets.cats.health+behav constantly tell people coming to us for advice to take their cat to the vet if the cat isn't peeing for a few days. I'd think that first person advice for ANY medicine is common sense.
Besides, you can't make a diagnosis without seeing the problem for the most part, unless it's painfully obvious (Nail in the hand? Well, obviously you have a nail in your hand!).
Now when the world ends thanks to the Vogons, it's not five pints of bitters that'll save us, it's five fifths of everclear into some reactor that we power up to fire back at the damn paver ships!
There's this wonderful thing called Dissociated Press in EMACS, which turned out this after two cycles:
Properating System Intinue to offer the owner of the UNIX(R) System
licenses the copyrights and core way back to 1969, whenses to
preserve,
protect, and enhance UNIX(R) System. The SCO 1969, when the owner of the
owner e owner of the UNIX(R) Operating System Intellectual Property
that dates all the way back to 1969, when the UNIX(R) System was created
at Bell Laboratories. Through a series of mergers and acquisitions,
SCO has acquired ownership of the copyrights and core technology
associated with the UNIX(R) System. The SCO source division will
continue to offer traditional UNIX(R) System licenses to preserve,

(By jove, it sounds like Dubya plugging for them!)
Play with it at your leisure. Hilarity may ensue. =^_^=
My wife mastered it after a year away from OS/2. I have a half-blind neighbor who is getting there, coming from being a 12:00 flasher on Windoze. Many people in the group I hang out with is involved with this, and many of *them* aren't that technically inclined.
The internet is a means to these ends, not the ends themselves.
It's like a big old mess of two-inch copper pipe. It doesn't give a rat's asshole about what you put in it - if you put something in a pipe, it is in theory going to come out the other end. Doesn't matter if it's water, marbles, kool-aid, ketchup, or molasses in January (though the molasses is going to take a long time). If it fits in the pipe, it goes in and comes out the other end and the pipe is ready for more. But, the ketchup doesn't make it 2 inch copper pipe any more than the water or marbles do.

You know, for a minute, when I saw the last item, I thought somebody had come out with a plushy version of these little bouncy guys. Ah, well.

I dunno about the suggesting bug fixes part. Wouldn't that be self-incriminating?

Doesn't MS realize that with this code out on the net it allows for it to be debugged?
Funny, true - but I'd love to see a spammer make this attempt. Fines up the wazoo....
I wouldn't call that justice. Merely weird irony.

We both wish we had the money for this. =(

If Novell's letters to SCO are an indication, SCO did not have the license to deny IBM privelege of doing this.
REXX was great for OS/2, but in Linux, between bash, perl, and tcl/tk, why would you need anything else?

They may not have manual records to fall back on. Garbage in, Gospel out, anyone?
What is to do with my body when I'm dead? I won't be needing it. I say just cremate the remains, dump them in the Pacific or something.

Both versions have their merits and are both worth the listen.
