Pure speculation on my part, but perhaps they had extensive involvement with universities and the DoD for research purposes, and so were actively involved in what preceded the internet as we know it today. Registering a.com may have been a pretty natural transition for them, based on what they were already doing.
At any rate, it's only a few weeks between the registration date of Alcoa, 3com, and AMD. Cisco was still just a startup (started in 1984). Apple was only doing PCs, and PCs on the internet was pretty unheard of back then.
I'd just print the source code on the outer casing of the missile. It would also give the target a fighting chance at survival. Assuming they had a really high-res camera and a couple good coders, they'd have the total flight time to try and find a bug that they can exploit to change its trajectory. Feels more sporting somehow.
No need to worry folks. In the event this gets passed, there is a really simple fix.
It's probably safe to assume that many MPs have their own FB pages, since it can be an effective method of campaigning to their younger voters. So, all you need to do is create an account claiming to be a minor (or actually be a minor), friend the MPs, and click this pedo-panic button on all their accounts. That'll shut it down right quick!
I kind of get this service by listening to XM. There are enough different types of stations, each fairly tightly focused, that I effectively tell it my preferences by which stations I program into my favorites. But then each station is run by DJs who are playing what they like within that format. I have found a TON of new music this way. I'd guess that, outside of my old "standards" (hs/college music) most of the new music I've purchased has been by bands I wouldn't have heard of if I didn't hear them on XM.
The Nexus One may be their opportunity to do that. Since it is a phone they control, instead of the carrier, they can and very likely will keep it as current and usable as possible. This will make it more difficult for a carrier to get away with locking down their own Android devices since their users can easily see what they're missing.
This became true for me as well after I got my G1.
My phone used to be just a phone. I wanted it to be small and have good reception. Then they started making phones with good cameras (Nokia N95), and my phone became a camera that I could talk to. Then I actually started using SMS. Suddenly a keyboard became very attractive. The value in the G1 is the data connection, and a solid OS to make use of it. I make phone calls only a couple times a day. The data connection is used constantly.
No kidding. In related news, did you know that Delta bought Northwest Airlines, and now they're killing it off? Seriously. They're removing all the NWA planes, and replacing them with Delta planes. And soon you won't even be able to buy tickets on NWA, you'll have to buy them on Delta. It's more evil than Stalin and Hitler combined!
Google bought the company (one guy and his app). The value for them is in the technology, not the reMail brand. They'll include the parts they like with the gmail service. The guy who created the app got a nice chunk of change from the purchase and a job at a company many would be excited to work for. This is capitalism in it's most basic form. A guy created something of value and was rewarded for it. If this qualifies as evil, you are in the wrong country.
I remember my formal education with computers in the 80s being the "training" you describe. When we went to computer lab it was to practice touch-typing and 10-key. The educators I had in the 80s could only imagine the computer as a replacement for the typewriter or adding machine. We were only taught how to enter data fast and accurately. A useful skill, sure, but teaches you no more about computers than teaching penmanship improves your writing.
My real computer education didn't begin until my dad brought home an Apple Macintosh (1984!), loaded up TrueBasic and set me loose.

No we don't.
The blind gynecologists of the world rejoice!
The blind proctologists can't be reached for comment, but rumor has it they are indisposed due to a sudden onset of nausea.

Because they've never left their basement?

The article actually does mention that (more or less).
Allow me to be the first to diagnosis myself with this horrible disease!
Go easy on him, man. It's the 90s! Anything goes!
I think he would favor liberating the toenails from their otherwise dank and oppressive confinement.
because she's not the women in my dreams.
Even if she was one of them, she might still be upset with the plural...
Even if death were to decrease population, it would only do so for those predisposed to dying.
I would assume by killing all the dissenters.
Data are pants. Sheesh.
With quality like that, could you tell if it was broken?

aesthetic is suspiciously close to anesthetic in both form and function.
It appears that whoever it was that said that has some decent predictive powers...or at least a good bit of luck every once in awhile.
Or it's the guy who leaked the data ;)
All your 10Base-T are belong to us.

The empty flying-car stall in my garage would agree with you.
Apple.
You got your son and wife to ask you insightful questions about physics? How is that a problem?
Science is about questions, not answers.
