I've been a Droid X user for almost two years, and was waiting for the iPhone 5 (which is apparently called a 4S) to make a move. I pre-ordered on Friday.
I'll still have the Droid X (i don't pay for it) but iPhone 4S will be my first iPhone.
Anecdotes are meaningless but at least here's one to counter the "no one wants one" posts.
Is it just me or does this law not actually apply to the Internet in general?
I mean, read the definitions, and where it says an interactive computer service doesn't count, and then where it says an interactive computer service includes the Internet.
That's not true. Any given level can override any level which is below it.
A DNS resolver asks the . servers who owns "www.barelylegalscots.com.eu." and the . servers tell the resolver to go ask the NS set which represents eu., but it could just easily respond with 127.0.0.1.
the same way a non-dial-up user would do it, but with slightly different hardware. rather than connect a cable or adsl modem to their gateway/nat device, they would connect an analog or isdn modem.
for example, the netgear fwg114p, which sports an rs-232 connection for an external modem.
Perhaps you missed the title of that paragraph that reads "Use a different web browser".
certainly not. however, the title is just that, a title. the first title is 'install a patch'; the point being you have to read the paragraph to get the actual information. 'install a patch' is meaningless unless you read the paragraph. 'use a different web browser' is meaningless unless you read the paragraph.
if you read the paragraph, and take it in context (noting it is the sixth and final suggested solution) you will see that they are wording it very cautiously.
'It is possible to
reduce exposure to these vulnerabilities by using a different web browser... Note that using a different web browser will not remove IE from a Windows system, and other programs may invoke IE...'
it's one of several mitigation suggestions mentioned, it's the last one mentioned, and it's hardly proposed as a general best practice, as the original poster seems to have been misled by the slashdot posting to believe.
There are a number of significant vulnerabilities in technologies relating to the IE domain/zone security model, the DHTML object model, MIME type determination, and ActiveX. It is possible to reduce exposure to these vulnerabilities by using a different web browser.
i'm no web journalist, but i'd hardly call that a recommendation or urging to use a browser other than ie.

Its about time for another rush by Colbert Nation!

It would not require breaking DNS for every .eu domain, nor are TTLs relavent.

the very last suggested solution states:

Sounds sort of like people who file-share movies and music (a large cross section of which I would wager are pro-GPL and GPL software).
Holy shit. I should be a millionaire several times over by now!
