domain names are not "intellectual property". they are much more akin to "actual property". a domain name has much more in common with a walking stick than a patent.
that being said, your brain probably has more in common with a walking stick...
go back to community college english 101. read some books. learn some ideas, such as:
If you have an apple and I have an apple and we exchange these apples then you and I will still each have one apple. But if you have an idea and I have an idea and we exchange these ideas, then each of us will have two ideas.
--G. Bernard Shaw
hate to be so harsh, but did you even think through your argument? or just click submit? if you and i each have a domain name, and we exchange them, we each still have a domain name. that is not IP, that is actual physical property.
how about simply corrupt organisation in action. stating anything like "USSR == Communism" is like stating "USA == Democracy". neither is true. the USSR was a socialist state, the USA is far from a democracy. and being socialist doesn't necessarily mean corrupt either. might was well say:
Can anyone say "U.S.A."? Or, "democracy in action"?
because the US Government follows roughly the same process as you outlined. he with the biggest lawyer wins. i'd do a step by step, using "theft of intellectual property" instead of "cyber squatting", but that would probably be overkill. --
went to see movie "Rock Star". heard song "Colorful" by "The Verve Pipe". went home, powered up my favorite P2P App. downloaded "Colorful". listened to it, liked it. went to OLGA and downloaded the tab and learned it. liked it. went back to said P2P App and downloaded a few more "The Verve Pipe" songs. liked them. went to "Barnes and Nobles" and bought "Underneath", latest "The Verve Pipe" album. listened to it a couple times. liked it. went to "The Verve Pipe" web page and checked out their tour schedule, made plans.
have I ever heard "Colorful" on the radio? no. will I ever? probably not. did being able to get "Colorful" for free keep me from buying the CD? far from it, being able to get the song for free is the SOLE reason I eventually bought the CD. and I had a CD burner and all the MP3s for the album already.
when starting off creating a new world for your stories, do you concentrate a lot on historical and geographical background, or get right into your main story timelines? basically, what process do you find to be the best when setting the stage for the depth required for epic fantasy?
the reason he did not get an 'A' was because the teacher was not trying to teach the student how to play the game, or how the game works. the grade has nothing to do with figuring out how to play the game. the point of the class was to teach how diplomacy really works. if the "asshole" really pulled the things they did in the "game", millions of people would have died. if you want to call that "winning", well, go ahead. that's not how i define victory, by the relative size of the corpse piles.
the only way microsoft will get people to stop using windows 2000 is to force all the hardware vendors to stop supporting and upgrading their windows 2000 drivers. i wonder if they can pull that off...
there just might be a difference between modding a post as flamebait and rounding up millions of people and shooting them. just a suggestion. not that i agree with the mod, but hey, don't call the kettle black, pot. every time a brash conservative gets disagreed with, it's "a coward liberal". anyway, much too serious a topic for early monday morning...
it depends on the OS. for instance if you are running windows 2000 on a big netfinity (not that *I* do such a thing... windows sucks, etc, etc...) you have to have some drivers installed for the PCI hot swapping to work. obviously the power supply stuff, that's taken care of on the backplane, and the RAID is naturally its own thing. I was talking about the PCI hot swap. what's even weirder is that (at least under windows, and again it's a *friend* of mine using windows, I assure you) you have to actually "stop" the PCI card before you remove it, via the "Unplug or Eject Hardware" program.
MORTAR COMBAT!
the IBM hot swapping you are talking about is supported mostly by software drivers -- i.e., the hardware does it, but it doesn't break your running software because there is a whole bunch of fancy drivers going on under the covers. i'll have to admit, it WAS neat the first time i hot-swapped a PCI card...
the new serial ATA standard hot-swapping is also driver-supported, but the primary difference is that the hardware is much simpler, thus it is cheaper to build and design than a big IBM server. also, serial ATA will probably not include power supplies:) in general, serial ATA hot swapping will look a lot like USB.

agreed. my friends and i usually drink a case of molson canadian for every hockey game, but it looks like there will be a change in menu.

MSN and AOL are inferior, anyway. people who want to chat to people on both networks will just download decent clients like Jabber and do so.
so you are arguing that the kid deserved an A because his actions were very reminiscent of Germany's behavior under Hitler. can't argue with that.
yeah, your whole speech kinda AGREES with my "not that i agree with the mod", while you phrase it like a rebuttal. very interesting.
