Not listening to a potential good idea because he is a lawyer or because you disagree with his politics is closed minded and ignorant. I don't care who the good ideas come from as long as they are good. This appears to be a good idea. Besides, I am sure he is only lending his popular name and image to the idea to get publicity and did not perform an engineering study on his own. This is the same as Al Gore. He is not a climatologist. Just a good public speaker and motivator. Bush had some decent ideas too, but they were shot down just because they came from him. I didn't like it when that happened to Bush and I don't like that with Clinton.
If you are still not convinced, then do your own study to see if he is full of crap. If the details of your study is "pfst he is a lawyer so fuck him!", then how many people are you going to sway with your argument. You just come off looking like an ass.
I plan on mitigating this by treating every single one of these new TLDs as if they're likely be to scams
Really?
Right now it costs very little to register a domain name. Names can be altered to attempt to fool people such as mybank.com.cn?id=123451235123451234&asdfasd=sadfasd. But if it takes over 100K to register a name and show proof you have legitimate rights to the name, it would almost seem safer. Especially when it comes to banking applications. For banking, shopping, etc, it would seem the future is not about going to a web page anyway, but using your 'app' to conduct business. This could be hardcoded to use the TLDs the company owns to better provide a secure channel. There is nothing that stops app developers from hardcoding mybank.com, but there could be bandwidth and routing advantages.
And now we (well, you) are stuck with a bastardized, bloated version of NeXTStep which ruined everything good about its interface.
Probably written using Windows. The interface for NeXTStep was/is not that great. It might have been great at the time, but comparing it to OSX of today is stupid. To use a car analogy, that is like comparing a car engine from the 1960's to today. The advances outweigh the simplicity.
The "in my day everything was better" is the war cry of those who can't or won't adapt. I am so sick of that argument. If your PREFERENCE is to use an interface that looks like 1997, then by all means you still can use GNUstep.
Apparently that is what it ships with. From their site:
Note: Commodore OS 1.0, along with emulation functionality and classic game package, will be mailed to purchasers when available. In the meantime, units come with the Ubuntu 10.04 LTS operating system on CD ready to install.
Just thinking from my tin foil hat, who's to say this wasn't a planned hoax from the start to get people to notice (and purchase) this game. They got a lot of press out of this. When you are a needle in a stack of needles, you gotta have a gimmick. Claiming your kid is in a UFO shaped balloon has been done already. Crying "GPL VIOLATION" gets a lot of attention.
First thing that came to mind was a party line. But from wikipedia -
"One example of a community linked by party line is in Big Santa Anita Canyon high in the mountains above Los Angeles, near Sierra Madre, California, where 81 cabins, a group camp and a pack station all communicate by magneto-type crank phones. One ring is for the pack station, two rings for the camp and three rings means all cabins pick up."
Slashdot Mirror
Having built the shittiest forum interface in all of webdom, did you actually imagine the slashdot staff would subject themselves to such by using it?
Yeah, don't settle for this crap. Just ask for your money back. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8r1CZTLk-Gk
The cake is a lie.

So we are finally getting our three sea shells. (Look it up)
There was another good article in Vanity Fair
Agreed. This looks [fake]. I can tell from some of the pixels and from seeing quite a few [fakes] in my time.

Out of interest, does anyone know at $185k a pop what exactly ICANN will be doing with it's new found millions?

Fixed that for you.
Please keep in mind the current 0.5.2 stable release does not yet support a mountable filesystem.
And considering that btrfs was not stable enough for the author, I don't think that is an option either.
I have been using Gentoo Linux for a long time now
No takers?
This looks like a [hoax]. I can tell from some of the [words] and from seeing quite a few [hoaxes] in my time.
It would be nice to see a list of the Apps. If there are "over 20" the list is probably not too large to post.

Dude! Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!
After looking at the Xanadu Website, I see why he thinks the WWW is wrong. Hey, 1998 called and wants its geocities site back!
Is this what you were thinking of?
ls -l | awk {'print $5'} | sort | tail -n1

He is also from Boston and likes to drink beer and get into fights with his friends. The boy is "wicked smart".
I just checked the calendar. Is it April 1st? That would suck because I really like March.
Yeah, but can I install Debian unstable on it?

I thought the same thing - "This AGAIN?", but at least this time the guys putting together the video made it entertaining.

fire is hot and scissors can be sharp
What? Citation or I don't believe it!!
