MCI was never WorldCom. Common misconception. WorldCom attempted to buyout MCI, but the FTC blocked it before it ever happened, hence MCI was never a part of WorldCom.
Also, I don't think he was refering to whether they care or not - he was refering to that since they're one of the largest, if not the largest providers, naturally, they're going to have the most spam.
"Permanent downloads--to burn to CDs or transfer to any of 60 portable music devices--can be purchased for 99 cents each or $9.95 for an album."
They will get access to the Streams (whoop dee doo), which are the equivalent of radio, or shoutcast. It does also say though that they can download locally an unlimitted amount of songs though, so maybe they just can't burn or transfer them, but there are ways around that.
Manned spaceflight and new civilization on Venus? Would you volunteer for this? Venus is the hottest planet in the Solar System, with an average surface temperature of 854.33F. In addition to this, it's atmosphere is a poisonous combination of sulfuric acid and Carbon Dioxide. It is completely unihabitable, several, if not most of the unmanned probes we have sent there have just completely melted, and you want us to send someone there? How about you go to Venus.
Now, Mars is a possibility. The main limiting factor right now keeping us from going to Mars is the distance. Then again though, the reason NASA hasn't sent anyone there yet it lack of money, and as someone else has already said, do you think a private corporation is going to send someone there, when there is little or nothing for them to gain out of the billions, possibly trillions of dollars they would have to spend on it?
Let's all go sign up at a temp agency to "work" for the RIAA;)... See what happens then...
Realistically, there's no way they can throw this all on one temp...can you say Scapegoat?
Selling people domains that are non-standard by using a different DNS... http://alternic.org/ . They've called it "Enhanced DNS". I'm pretty sure hardly anyone actually ever used this...at least no sites of any significance. I'm guessing verisign will have a little more luck, but still not much, as it is a bad business model trying to sell things that require a plugin for the general public... I can just see businesses going out and buying domains that people can't even get to, because they don't have the plugin, and won't get it.
The real significance of the AlterNic site is that the guy that founded it back in the 80's or so ended up in prison for a while, then when he got out, he couldn't use a computer for a signifcant number of years by court order because back when network solutions ran the whole show for domain names, he hacked there DNS to route internic.net to his site, and also hacked their DNS to include his custom top level domains such as.sex.
As far as the license agreement giving verisign the right, but not obligation to automatically update the software without asking first...can you say spyware? Does CometCursor ring a bell?
but it is binary because A pairs only with T and C pairs only with G...or something like that...so you have 2 states....hence binary
Nice:-D good ole Protein/RNA code for software...an interesting idea...I wonder if they would go for that...if the courts/patent office would go for that, would there be a way to actually implement it in a computing environment in reality though...this will make you think...
1) Buy Napster.
2) Shut Napster down.
3) Over a year later, say that you're gonna bring back Napster on a pay-basis.
4) Start selling crippled CD's to increase the demand for MP3's.
5) Bring back Napster on a pay-basis, just after increasing the demand for MP3's.

You mean Win64?

...how much they were bribed to pass it into law.
...with a Beowolf Cluster of these. Sorry...had to be said.
I type domain names all the time...if you have a good memory, and type at least decently fast, it's definately faster than using a search engine...
