I have read a lot of posts here discussing alternative TLD's or alternative root nameservers or other similar plans. To me that's about as useful as saying "If you don't like this New World Order, go live on another world."
There is something to be said for the difficulty a person would have to stop using the DNS system as organized or arranged or overseen (or whatever) by ICANN. It may not be as difficult as travelling to another world to set up a new habitat, but it seems to be on the same order of magnitude.
I would love to hear, however, how we could more appropriately manage the DNS system that the vast majority of Internet users know and love. (yeah, I love it; it could probably be better, but I would hate to not have DNS at all). If there were a reasonable plan proposed, I would advocate it because the current system does make me a bit concerned. (I was already paranoid.)
Since they have changed their privacy policy to allow different things in the event of a buyout or merger, do you think there is such an event on the horizon?
Giving unrefutable evidence that they have trademarked the unit of measure known as the "mile". It's my understanding that it will soon be renamed to the "McMile".
It's only a matter of time until they rename it to "McDonald's presents the McMile".
I'm glad to see SGI going after horrible things like "smugGLing" and "uGLy people" and "GLuttony". This is unfortunately a very scary thing for "jugGLers" and people living in "iGLoos" or speaking "enGLish", but I think the advances outweigh the consequences.
I'm not sure if the residents of "cOPENhagen" would see it the same way, though.

I think almost the entire thing will burn up on re-entry and what is left will be no larger than the head of a chihuahua. If I'm wrong may we all be horribly crushed from above somehow.
The Kerbango was probably the only internet appliance kind of thing that I could see myself buying anytime soon. I was sort of looking forward to actually getting radio reception in the concrete bunker I live in. I would have gladly paid almost half of what they were asking for the thing. I guess I'll have to make my own out of my old linux box now.
It's my understanding that the Beatles used to pay high school girls to scream and faint in the crowd at concerts and other public appearances. What's the big difference?
I caught this one from watching the simpsons the other night: whatbadgerseat.com.
Provided by the Simpson's folks to be an actual site that Lisa went to one evening to find out what badgers eat. I think it was episode BABF20, but there's no capsule at snpp.com.
While it's not exactly the same thing, as it's pretty obvious that this one is in cahoots with the Simpson's creators, it is still the same kind of guerrila marketing plan. I found it pretty entertaining.
that's pretty cool. I'm hesitant to reboot a machine with a new kernel on it remotely. I've never had to do it when "remotely" meant 197 million miles away.
The article also mentioned that since DS1 had lost its star tracker, it has to use its CCD camera to orient itself. That means it can't keep track of its orientation very well while it is snapping photos of stuff around it anymore. That's a hell of a predicament to be in, I guess.

Go ahead; I think it's applicable in many places. Just don't stop drumming up support for harry Browne, though!
for evilmedical.edu. After all, he didn't spend 8 years in Evil Medical School to be called "Mr. Evil".

what makes that older that this: http://slashdot.org/articles/older/00000001.shtml?
I was looking forward to playing some Indrema games while listening to my Kerbango.
If what I've heard is true, and "everyone has left slashdot for K5", then how can K5 still get slashdotted?
I had a daughter who I caught smoking, so I killed her and had another one. Problem solved.

seems like if you own the site that you're sugmitting a story about you could make sure that the link goes to something relevant.
Wost article ever.

Great. Now the guy has had his software and his article redistributed without his permission.
Their 800 number is slashdotted. oh well.

I don't think anyone has mentioned it, so i will. I think my personal favorite is spaceref.com's mir page.
