Wow! They've made a place on earth that's safe from black holes, antimatter bombs, gamma ray bursts and meteor strikes!
I wonder how much it'd cost to rent space enough for an apartment in there...
And is it safe from the S2^30 bug too?
Let's pit Gollum, Terminator, The Hulk, Peter Pan and all those undead pirates against eachother in a nicely computer-generated arena.
The winner claims the Oscar.
"And Gollum runs towards The Hulk, with his fierce hissed battle-cry of "Filthy greenthingses", eagerly a-snapping for fingers!"
1: Get advertised on/.
2: Thereby, get others to produce the content of said book
3: Give $200 to all making "the finals", thereby getting their personal info. (Where did you say I should send the money?)
4: Sell personal details & story to company in question
5: Profit, profit, profit
Even if your cell phone is off, the police can still turn on the microphone and listen to what's going on in the room, which would presumeably also allow triangulation.
Take the battery out if you want to stay safe, only thing that works.
OMG... When SpaceShip95 comes along, Colombia will seem like a happy memory in comparison... Do you remember how those things used to crash!?
Can we build an Open Source spaceship?:p
Okay, sure, we can work around this with routing.
But why not flood VeriSign with work?
Call: 0800-032-2101 or email sitefinder@verisign-grs.com
Tell them you will NOT accept their Terms of Use.
Write it in your own way, we don't want them to be able to autoreply on anything, use your own subject, own text. Let's give VeriSign some work keeping their "service" operational.
It's only fair. They're stealing both our bandwidth and our time.
Background:
According to http://www.theregister.co.uk/content/6/32872.html:
"However, it seems that the T&C's might help us to stop this abuse. If you do not agree to the T&C's the only option they have is to not redirect your netblock to their site. So, give them a call on 0800-032-2101, select 2 to speak to their support department and once you get a human, tell them that you don't agree to their T&C's and can they remove your netblocks! "
Now, I did this in a slightly different way.
I first contacted VeriSign Norway, who replied that I should contact sitefinder@verisign-grs.com .
I just sent the following email to that address:
Subject: Sitefinder - I do NOT accept Terms of Use.

With this I give official notice that I do NOT accept any part of the Terms of Use of your Sitefinder "Service". A "Service", I might add, which I consider theft of my time and bandwidth.
Since using your "service" is not voluntary in any way, I demand you either close down your service, or find some other way in which to exclude the places from where I use the internet from your "service".

Actually, the name of the technique as named by the inventor (Paul Lauterbur) was originally zeugmatography.
