It's true, but mind that LOTS of corporations and organisations are international..com,.net and.org are probably already taken in most cases - it's better if there are more branches when they're needed.
No one would be forced to use the.porn domain if they had porn. It's just the same thing that a personal web site doesn't have to use a.ws domain, a network organisation doesn't have to use a.net domain, etc...

Yeah, A.I. wasn't too brilliant. Minority Report, on the other hand, was awesome.
I think you misinterpreted what I said (there was some exaggeration). I can burn at faster speeds than 4x. 8x works very well at most times, as does 12x, particularly with CD-RW:s. However, CD burning does have a tendency to fail more often than any other writing process. It's not as much as 95% reliable, and I'm sure it doesn't get better at higher speeds no matter what.
My CD burner supposedly does 16x. Bullshit. The highest speed at which I can burn without getting errors every one out of three times is 4x. You'll need some good luck to actually get 52x out of that one.
Get Slashdotted? Aftenposten is a newspaper, not some arbitary site run off someone's DSL line. Tell you what, it most likely has more readers than Slashdot does.
They believe that this knowledge could be applied to optical fiber networks as well, greatly improving their efficiency and speed.
It's wrong to say that the speed can be improved, because it's obviously impossible to go faster than the speed of light. The bandwidth might of course still be improved though.
Funny, I thought that said Team Arena Rocket Launcher Challenge or something along those lines. I can't help it, but every time I see a rocket-related subject, I come to think of John Carmack.
There's really no point in creating computers that reproduce human intelligence. Human intelligence is limited to certain kinds of input and certain other kinds of output. If you make a computer understand speech, you haven't really made it capable of intelligence, you've made it capable of parsing a limited set of data. Cellular automata and friends are infinitely much more interesting to AI than this is.
I can generally tell the difference between a 192kbps MP3 and a WAV file, but the whole point of lossless really isn't pleasing the audiophiles, but making it possible to convert into a lossy format of choice. There's a significant quality loss when converting a HQ MP3 to OGG, and the result of converting a HQ MP3 to a LQ MP3 is worse than if you had converted the LQ MP3 from a WAV.
I want losslessly compressed audio, downloadable track by track, for a pay-per-song cost, non-crippled, in an open format. When do I get that? If I got that, I would have no reason at all to warez music any more. I'm sure most people agree with me. It's no wonder stuff like LA fails when it's not what the consumers request.
There's no point in GPL'ing Notepad as it's basically just an API text box on an API window form. Microsoft has actually made the source code to Wordpad available, though. You can get it at MSDN.
This world would be a better place if there were no guns. Works in Europe (tm). Too bad that it won't work in the US. I hate to say it, but it looks like you're stuck in a downwards spiral where gun related violence increases and any eventual attempts to control the guns result in things getting worse.
I guess it's a nice thing that shellsort is getting improved, and I do realize that this is great for genetic research, but, pardon me for being an uneducated ignorant bastard, does it have any practical value, seeing as quicksort is much faster than shellsort? Or am I wrong?

Hmm. I find it interesting that that passed the lameness filter :)
Balrog sequence made no sense at all. What was the balrog doing while they played "balance the multi ton rock pile", putting on its Nikes?
They reached that place through a tiny passage. The Balrog couldn't get through, so it had to smash its way through ten meters of rock.
Time to switch to 24 hours time.
So what's wrong with colorful graphics and cartoonish characters? Do games have to feature gore and ultra-violence to be entertaining? Hell no.
Ah, thanks for correcting that.

You only get two cents for that? Indeed, the situation for IT workers is getting worse...

Did you try Google before submitting that?.
