I think ICANN should basically tell VeriSign, "If you pull this crap again you're through." VeriSign doesn't deserve to be in the position they are in, IMO. This pretty much proves it.
"The real Abercrombie argued that the models were "misappropriated" from its catalogue and web site. It also said that the only difference between Chad's domain name and its own (abercrombie.com) was the replacement of the letters "cr" with a "z", making it confusingly similar to its own."
Umm...who confuses "cr" with a "z"??? I don't think people are that out of it.

Yeah but Hatch wants to give this power to copyright holders(i.e. corporations)who won't necessarily have to worry about pesky things like search warrants and such.
Well I was gonna read the articles posted but I was blocked because the site had mp3 in it. It's not like I was going to download mp3's. Oh well, anyone got a mirror?
Okay, so according to the write up swapping some songs on the internet is better than breaking into a Baghdad museum and making off with priceless historical artifacts. Hrm...next you'll be telling me that murderers are getting lighter sentences than those violating the DMCA.
I gave your "Sounds Like" search a try and I was very impressed. I even tried some of the more obscure bands that I listen too and they came up. You will definatly be getting my business.
I really don't think Intel is shooting themselves in the foot too much. Joe Sixpack could care less if he can overclock his CPU or not. I know people who don't that AMD and Intel are different.
I've always had more fun playing games like Perfect Dark and Bond on the N64. With the 64 you can actually talk with your friends as you plan. Not to mention that you can also throw stuff at them, pummel them, unplug their controllers, duct tape them and lock them in the closet(oh like you haven't done it before). Voice communication will never compair to actually sitting in the same room.

Here you go, straight from the Uniformed Code of Military Justice(UCMJ)
"888. ART. 88. CONTEMPT TOWARD OFFICIALS
Any commissioned officer who uses contemptuous words against the President, the Vice President, Congress, the Secretary of Defense, the Secretary of a military department, the Secretary of Transportation, or the Governor or legislature of any State, Territory, Commonwealth, or possession in which he is on duty or present shall be punished as a court-martial may direct. "
I am an enlisted member, not a commissioned officer. IANL but I'm almost positive and am betting my career that I cannot be prosecuted under Article 88 of the UCMJ.
But please don't take this the wrong way. While I may disagree with many of Bush's views, not just about the war with Iraq but also many other issues like the environment and abortion rights I can't help but respect the man. He is in a very difficult position. He did a good job handling 9/11. I fear what would have happened had Nader been President. He is under a great deal of pressure and is pretty much responsible for the world. His is a job I do not envy.
Thank you for posting this. Seriously. I respect your views on what is happening in the world. And I have to agree with you, many atrocities in history were commited because of people just doing what they were trained to do. But people like me? I don't think that's a fair comment. You don't know anything about me. Please don't make presumptions just because I am in the military.
I'm practically thanking God right now I'm in Germany. Many of my friends and co-workers are somewhere in the desert and I was almost one of them. Trust me, I know how lucky I am right now.
I am one of the most vocal people I know on opposing what the administration is doing. But you have to love America, a country where you are allowed to voice your opposition to the govermnent. Very few countries in the world would allow the amount of protest against the government as has been happening in the US for the last few months. But no matter who is the President I will do all I have to do to protect America and all the freedoms that we are given. Bush was already elected when I joined and I had strong feelings against him then. But that didn't stop me from joining. I joined because I love my country as a whole. Bush won't be around forever and America will survive him.
I'm a Communication Computer Operator. Basically I could work help desk, server management, account management, system administrator, those types of jobs. I personally work in the messaging center. And last week was my 2 year mark in the AF. Just 4 more to go in my tour.
I'm in the US Air Force stationed Germany at work right now and we've been watching CNN non-stop all night. There is definatly a nervous tension in the air right now. But we're ready. I may not totally agree with Bush but I'll do the job I was trained to do.
This reminds me of a great quote
"we like war. we're a warlike people. we like war because we're good at it. you know why we're good at it? cause we get a lot of practice. this country is only 200 years old and already we've had 10 major wars. we average a major war every 20 years in this country, so we're good at it. and it's a good thing we are, we're not good at anything else anymore. can't build a decent car, cant make a tv set or a vcr worth a f*ck, got no steel industry left can't educate our young people, cant get health care for our old people, but we bomb the sh*t out of your country alright... especially if your country is full of brown people... oh we like that don't we, thats our hobby... thats our new job in the world... bombing brown people... can you remember the last white people... can you remember ANY white people we've ever bombed? the germans, they're the only ones... and thats because they were trying to cut in on our action... they wanted to take over the world... bullsh*t... thats our job!"

Here's a story from Forbes. My favorite is the last paragraph. Our only problem with Rosen was the RIAA going after Napster. Umm...sure.
How can you prove that you didn't have any "pirated" material on your computer when the destroyed it?

Look at all the Pros. None of that makes a good phone. Who cares about a customizable today screen or an optional keyboard when the phone sucks.

"Imagine if you could only forward email once" Then I wouldn't have to deal with all those damn annoying chain e-mails.
Hide the porn from the cops? It's more like hide the porn from the wife.

Sure and next you'll be telling me Yahoo! thinks they'll be able to take out Google.
