I know that Fred MArtin, who developed the Handyboard at least wrote a book on robotcs that tends to use legos as a base, but I don't think he had anything to do with Mindstorms.
The.name registry has some unique features:
- Customers register 3rd level names (ie: firstname.lastname.name)
- They charge an additional annual fee to have access to the corresponding e-mail address (firstname@lastname.name)
- Customers can't use the DNS services that they use for 'real' domain names
The dotName people had some lofty ambitions when the registry was created. They were hoping that their names would become the standard for unique ids over all kinds of communications -- they'd point to your website, e-mail, cell phone, etc. This sounds like a reasonable idea (a unique communications id), but names are not unique enough...
Is anyone familiar with any similar (but ideally smarter) efforts?
and... I assume these ISPs (referred to in plural above) are independent (not government controlled)? If this is the case, the government of India is not "greedy", it's the service providers. I think its a bluff anyhow...
So genetic reconstruction of dinosaurs ranks above blurred virtual reality and a revolt against videogames in plausibility?
I think there are some serious omissions in this list:(
I'm only vaguely familiar with their service, but I recall that their service permitted more than one owner per "keyword". I'd provide a link right here, but that "feature" of their website is unavailable at the moment.
They used to have an arrangement with the Altavista search engine, and it really just worked like a limited search service.

What if I like Keebler better than Nabisco?

Maybe I'll be looking into that Russian space shuttle for sale afterall. Wonder if I could get some Tang and space rations as an upgrade...
