The last one will confuse you because you're used to identifying the http service with the www name.
NOTE: I would not replace the protocol requested nor the actual port used with this naming. So http://microsoft.ftp:22/ would still be valid. I'm simply suggesting that we pull the list of possible TLDs from the IANA.
Here are the benefits I see: - prevent overhead to the naming authority from having to identify if you're a non-com, pr0n, within the region of.ly, etc - still allow the Marketing department to publish a sole destination for all things Microsoft (at.http presumably) - allow web browsers to assist users by assuming.http (the way they assume www and com currently) - allow small entities the ability to provide all services while only needing 1 domain (see my note above; if http is your machine, you could still provide SSH over port 22) - allow international entities to provide region specific resources using subdomians while maintaining the implied authority of the common domain. (Example: UK.Microsoft.http - a user knows its the *real* MS site because they've been trained by Marketing that "http" makes you valid; think.com in today's world)
Yeah, this is going to be off-topic; but it's very important information for the parent.
MCI decided years ago I owe them money, I don't, and every two years some collection agency comes calling.
Force MCI to prove it!! You have rights!!
You know what, I think ScuttleMonkey owes me $5,000. I just decided that. Now, I'm going to hire a collection agency to collect it. They get to keep 20%, of course. Sounds like a plan to me. Especially if ScuttleMonkey doesn't stop me.
PLEASE tell me you will follow up on this. There should be a required class for High School students that teaches them stuff they will ALL need.... Like protecting yourself from large companies making false claims.

PLEASE PLEASE take action to protect yourself from these collectors. The more people that stand up for themselves, the harder it gets for the slimey businesses out there.
I've used this exact 'excuse' for every credit company I deal with... Successfully.
I sent a letter to each of my 3 credit companies claiming that I no longer wanted "courtesy checks" because my local development had experienced multiple post-box breakins (lie). My letter stated that I knew both their 1-800 customer support number, and was an active user of their website should I need to specifically request one of these checks.
Two of the three companies stopped sending checks immediately, no problem. The 3rd company stopped after a second request. They sent me another batch about 4 months after the initial request. I sent them an updated letter (noting that I already made this request once before), I filled out their online customer service form with a similar, shorter version, and finally I called the 800 number to complain. I asked the guy if any of the checks had been used already, if any more were sent, if he knew the numbers of the checks I was supposed to receive, etc. He knew nothing. After that, the 3rd company came into line as well.
Now, I never receive checks from any of them. The checks do not even come as part of my monthly statement (you know the ones attached to the bottom fold of your statement).
I used to play a first person maze game called "Asylum" on the C64. As different things happened to your character, you would hear various strange things 'in the distance'. I don't recall sound effects, as everything was text on the bottom 2 lines of the screen. (The top of the screen was the graphical representation of the hallway maze you were trapped in).
The game was designed to drive you crazy.
I'm not sure what she is supposed to do... but what I've done is contact the public-hired officials to remind them that the public is keeping track of the decisions they make and policies they enforce.
Robert Billingsley and the Mayor (mayor at valp dot org) of this community should worry more about their own actions.
It may not be my county library today... but it could be mine tomorrow.
It shows the person's skin in most all places ( chest, legs, back, even the outline of his ear) but not the FEET. Does this screening not work through leather?
Whatever the material of the model's shoe, it definately does not seem to show the outline of his feet.
'Yet'... So we have to wait until they (ab)use credit cards before they should be stopped?
Um... Yes. We have to wait.
Who knows, you might murder the next guy you see. Sure you haven't done it 'yet'.... but these are your rules.
Will you be happy when they go under because only a select few people want to pay for it?
The 'non-cable' companies (NBC FOX CBS) seem to make a profit without charging per user. Commercials and paid programming are a proven way to run a network without charging subscription fees.
With the exception of paid movie channels (HBO) and C-SPAN, most cable channels run an advertising based business.
And for the price of $3.00 per channel/month that you mentioned, I'd be likely to try a new channel for a month to see if it's something I like. How much are Blockbuster rentals these days?
This is supposed to be a sign on top of the 747, where the orbiter links to the top of the 747's fuselage. It reads "Place Orbiter Here...Black Side Down".
Sure, why not. They probably even have warning labels somewhere such as "Engineers 3+" just like kid's toys.
What about The Pit and AutoDuel? I remember using the ol' 1200 baud modem to login and play these games... both of which had player rankings which were posted and transmitted from the central computer (website) to my personal computer.
Definitely before the "Internet". What year was this patent registered? It mentions the "net" as an example of game data transmission.
Never made it to the top of The Pit... but I'm not bitter (damn you Sheriff of Nottingham!!)
At a previous employer, it was well known and openly discussed how our company was using a proxy server to route all calls for 'doubleclick.com' et. al. to our internal advertising server. I was the fool in charge of dissecting doubleclick's calls and updating the internal ad-server to display the proper size advert.
Why?
1. 'The Man' was a bit loopy in the head. 2. We offered ASP solutions (not the asp script pages; Application Service Provider). We could show our Citrix clients the ads from other clients/ local business.... who just happened to be clients of reason #3 3. We sold a 'increase-your-traffic' service. We promised the standard Search Engine treatment, plus various banner placements across the Internet. Obviously 'across the Internet' mostly meant 'across our ad-server'. Most every client saw an increase in traffic. But then again, most services were local and were specifically shown to a local audience.
I just served as an expert witness for a software theft case. Data recovery was vital in proving when and where the software was copied....and yes, the interview seemed a bit like a self-promo piece.
Count on it. I am already getting SPAM disguised as text-messages on my Sprint PCS phone. So far every 'ad' has been for phone related services (although not all from Sprint).
You pay for the service from Bell, you get whatever they pipe to you. You agree to their terms when installing / paying for their service.
note: I have an old Motorola without nifty camera and color screen.
Your garbage, shredded or not, is not protected by the Fourth ammendment. It is searchable, without warrant.
An exerpt from the book "The Right to Privacy" (Alderman & Kennedy):
A Massachusetts man tried to (protect the privacy of his garbage) by shredding his documents into strips 5/32 of an inch wide. IRS agents picking throuh his trash retrieved the tiny strands of paper and painstakingly pieced them together to produce evidence of tax fraud. A federal district court held that by shredding his trash, the man had created a reasonable expectation of privacy in it. An appellate court disagreed and reversed that decision. The court said that the man had not created any expectation of privacy that society was prepared to recognize. He had simply underestimated the resourcefulness, not to mention patience, of the IRS.
The court itself said: "(The) mere fact that appellant shredded his garbage before he placed it outside of his home does not create a reasonable heightened expectation of privacy under the Fourth Ammendment."
I've referenced this book before... it was very interesting.
United States v. Scott, 975 F.2d 927, 1992 USApp. LEXIS 22877, rev'g 776 F.Supp. 629, 1991 USDist LEXIS 15953.
I just happened to be reading the book "The Right to Privacy" (Ellen Alderman, Caroline Kennedy) page 26 concerning a case where a man attempted to prove a search was unreasonable because the search was conducted from an aircraft. (He had marijuana in a large field).
The author's reference notes to the Supreme Court ruling states:
The Supreme Court case holding that aerial surveillance of a California man's backyard did not constitute a Fourth Amendment search is
California v Ciraolo, 476 US 207, 1986 US LEXIS 154 (1986). The Court's determination that it is unreasonable to protect one's garden from aerial observation is from id at 213-214.
Three Years after Ciraolo, police acting on an anonymous tip flew a helicopter four hundred feet over a greenhouse in order to observe a marijuana crop. The Supreme Court held that Ciraolo was controlling an that there was no significant difference between a plane at one thousand feet and a helicopter at four hundred feet. Neither was held to be a search. Florida v Riley, 488 US 445, 450-51, 1989 US LEXIS 580 (1989).
Maybe Babs isn't growing the herb, but the Court ruled unreasonable to protect one's garden from aerial observation.
