Apparently you forgot to connect the power. I suspect that if you had done this, you would realize that this protocol needs a fire hydrant to the same degree that windoze needs ZA.
Here's a quote from the mentioned article "Google News already has made arrangements with some leading news sites that use registration schemes -- such as The New York Times. Google News users who click on links to NYTimes.com articles at Google News go directly to the article -- there's no intervening registration screen -- even if they're not already registered at NYTimes.com. This works, explains product manager Mayer, because the site allows Google's spiders to crawl its content and include links in the Google service. When a non-registered user hits a NYTimes.com page, the site will recognize that it's a referral from Google News and serve up the content -- delaying the registration requirement for one page. When the Google News user tries to go elsewhere on NYTimes.com, then the registration system kicks in. If the user is already registered, then NYTimes.com reads the user's NYT cookie and doesn't ask for registration information." Which of course means that now I can read all the ones mentioned in./ without registering!! I propose that it now be a requirement that all links to the NYT be through Google. Just my($.02);
I've spent some time getting my slash boxes and setting pretty customized, and now I never go anywhere else for my news. I also really enjoy the communtity, comments, etc../ is way better than Google, IMH but accurate O.
By winning the patent case that they own hyperlinks! These guys aren't nice. If every website in the world has to pay them, then they'll be able to put up wireless networks everywhere! Which would you rather have?
then we're in BIG trouble. I encourage you to download their PDFs and read them, at least as much as your stomach can handle. Theses guys are to the whole media industry what the RIAA is to the music biz. It's time to fight back
It would be fun to get them to hook it up to the net, and let everybody beta test it! I'll fly to Afghanistan! All of us taxpayers payed for this anyways.
ICANN really has become a big, bullying organization. I'm not sure why it has stayed in power this long. They are money black-hole. For an example, when they were accepting submissions for new TLDs, the review fee was $50k. That's just for a chance a being looked at! Another example: to become a registrar(correct spelling:) it costs $10k just to be reviewed! Are they running a lottery? It's time for the openess of the internet to become pervasive at all levels.
If Macromedia doesn't want to make flash free(as in price), I respect their righ to do so. But it's cool to see free(code and price) alternatives becoming usable. My favorite is the PHP-based FreeMovie.

Count me in! I've never done it, but it sounds like a great idea.
OS X
iMac
iMac2
iBook
iPod
PowerBook
Those things are the first on the list for a reason!
You forgot the Apple logo itself, though.

They didn't post any evidence for thier dating. I just refuse to accept every claims blindly. They've been wrong about their monekys before :)

No fair. I keep trying but I never get it.
