Who is this 'Real Networks' and why is anyone listening to them?
I'm pretty sure the 3rd sign of the Apocalypse is when the irrelevant start speaking relevance. I'm pretty sure this isn't an instance of that, but even if it is, the world's ending, so who cares?
He say: It sounds like a good idea in principle, but in practice this type of scheme inevitably falls victim to the realities of human nature
You say: Your post is one incredible troll
Then, you say: the problem was bogus registrars appearing at the last minute with many being THE SAME COMPANY! They were bogus because they were not real registrars but rather companies squating on a domain name.
I say: That's human nature, bud. Try reading a post before you label it a troll. You guys disagree on whether it's possible to keep a queue fair, given human nature, but that doesn't make him any more of a troll than it does you.
And, shame even more on the mods who listened to your rubbish.

That's absolute rubbish. With the definition you're using, there are no standalone applications, unless they include their own operating system. (And they certainly couldn't be written in an interpreted or hybrid language, like Java.)

Um, he's talking about the Gmail web-based client. It is, amazingly enough, an application used to read and send email.
Another cheer for the moderators for modding you up (to insightful, even!).
You don't get it. The point is that giving a patient hope can help their health. If they believe tha King of the Potato People can help them, then it will.
Since people were looking for a name which reflected the parallel with 'AJAX', they were forced to select another name which made you want to stab yourself.
It's also an anti-spam feature, allowing you to track and control sites that spam you. The only negative is the dictionary attack, as far as I can tell. In the 10 years I've had a catchall, the only addresses to which I've received this sort of random test spam are addresses like webmaster@, info@, sales@, etc. For a while I was getting some like jeff@ and joe@, but between Gmail and thunderbird's filters, they never see my inbox.
I'm waiting for the extension to include a "Moderate Funny/Flamebait" button, which would automate the task of randomly deciding to moderate a comment funny (75% of the time) or flamebait (25% of the time). I currently have to generate the randomness myself, which is annoying.
I always get confused when I hear people whine about how ISPs and the government are encroaching on free use of the Web and promote ways of making things more distributed and much harder to control. Then, in a slightly different context, I hear people support ways to make it much easier for these entities to clamp down on how the Web is used. If it's made easier, people will do it. It's hard for you to filter Internet use because I and many others WANT it to be hard. I don't really care about you filtering your employees' use, and I even support that, but the problem is that any tool that can make it easier for you will make it easier for any other agency as well.
And they stopped deliberately breaking other clients for the most part.
That's because it was ineffective and, with the diverted effort, they began falling behind other IM protocols.
You know, they still run the aim servers... for free.
Except for all those ads. I'm sure the API will provide an option to omit these ads, too...
Sorry, but AOL is still evil. Had they done this years ago when everyone was calling for it, maybe this would matter. But we've all moved on already. Too little, way too late.
Isn't the problem for the authors of "The Holy Blood and the Holy Grail" that they claim their book is fact? If it were fiction, then they would probably have a viable copyright claim, but while they claim their book is fact, they have the problem that facts are not generally copyrightable. Ironic really!

It's only +2 insightful, actually. I think you might have a good karma bonus set or something.
I think it was modded insightful because it was pointing out how poorly worded the title was.
I had heard that the internal name for the Boot Camp project was 'Operant Conditioner', but I didn't get it until now.
Alleged British hacker? This is outrageous. No person should be punished until they have been proven to be British beyond a reasonable doubt.

1. Walmart says it won't carry game.
2. Production company kills game.
3. ???
4. Walmart is evil!
Seems to me that this article has the crosshair on the wrong people. Besides, we already have plenty of reasons to hate Walmart.

This doesn't solve all domain name problems, but it would get popular domain names to the people/companies that value the name the most.
Not quite. It would get them to people/companies with the most capital. You're also assuming that a $1 in California = $1 Ohio = $1 Tajikistan.
Unfair?
* People set up process that my 5-year old niece would have realized wouldn't work.
* Process doesn't work.
Seems pretty fair to me.

Us hackers get off on that, it's in our blood.
No, we get off on being anal retentive and finding things like grammar errors.

Since the hurricanes are to punish sinners, does this mean God's behind global warming, too?

No, it's not just another backlash. It's another backlash with background midi music and 30 animated gifs.
