Who can get a US domain name?
Individuals, organizations, businesses, city/county governments, Native Sovereign Nations, schools (K-12, private, community colleges), libraries, state agencies, and museums may obtain a US domain name. Examples:
Jane Doe in Canoga Park, CA = jane-doe.canoga-park.ca.us
Bob's Shoe Shop in Toledo, OH = bobs-shoe-shop.toledo.oh.us
City Hall in New Orleans, LA = ci.new-orleans.la.us
Monroe School District in MT = monroe.k12.mt.us
Can I register something.us?
No. See the examples above and read the Overview section of the Web site for complete information on the structure of the US Domain.
Domain names are constructed with organization-name or personal-name followed by the city-name, the state-code, and.us.
How much does it cost?
The US Domain Registry does not charge any fees. Organizations approved to register.us domain names by the US Domain Registry may charge a nominal fee
Ask that to all the DirectTV hackers that can't use there DirectTV reciever anymore...
Sure, go ahead and ask those hackers. Perhaps they'll answer you in between the free porn and PPV movies they're watching. The DirecTV anti-hacker hack was the biggest marketing FUD I've seen in quite awhile.
Thankfully it's not integrated with the device. Imagine the already marginal battery life (2 hrs with backlight, 8 hrs with no backlight) being even worse if the Microdrive were integrated.
No need to speak. Just shrinkwrap your driver's licenst in an EULA that states that you are recording this encounter for quality control purposes and that the police officer recognizes this fact by removing the license from the shrinkwrap.
I agree that this device can be revolutionary, but not quite to the extent you say. As one of the posters above stated, many people go to the book store to browse through books and generally poke around from section to section. Taking that touchy-feely aspect out of the book shopping "experience" would result in very little difference between shopping online or at a b&m.
What I see this device doing is eliminating the cross-country shipment of inventory and localizing the printing process. Maybe B&N has one of these printers per store, or one in a central store per city, county, or region. It's used strictly to restock the shelves, not for on-demand printing unless it's an older, "out of print" title. As the stock on the shelf of a certain title runs low, rather than order a new shipment or keeping a reserve stack in the back-room for each title, they simply print 5 more copies and put it on the shelf. This would eliminate a large chunk of the time and cost that goes along with the current warehousing system. And imagine what this device could do for a company like Amazon, who is being held back by these same warehousing and shipping costs.
Funny, I'd think that Old Navy and The Gap would have similar labor practices, considering Old Navy is owned by The Gap. I'd be willing to bet that their clothes are coming from the exact same factory. FYI, Banana Republic is another sister company.
Half the VLANs were only stored on one unit and the other half of them on other. So when one died it only knew half of the full setup and couldn't route things correctly since the VLANs it wanted weren't there
Basically the network was fine as long as both cards were up since they could share their half of the VLAN info with the other. Once one card went down, the other had no idea what to do with traffic to/from the other half of the VLAN.
Definitely agreed. The GRC DDOS article was one of the most interesting reads I've had on the web in quite awhile, and this article ranks right up there. In fact, I have been drifting away from reading tech "stuff" on the web recently, and these two articles are really piquing that interest again and providing the motivation I've been lacking to get moving on finishing my CCNP and CCIE studies.
Here's a thought. Next time you can't get to/., before you rewire your entire town trying to get a good route, please try some other site. I hear there's a few other websites around.
I'm assuming you're referring to the hack that allowed you to add this capability in pre-2.0 versions of the TiVo software since this capability never officially existed on a TiVo. The newest software version (2.0.1) effectively disabled this hack, and so far no other hacks have been found to reintroduce this capability. I know that there are ways to change the speed of the 3 steps of Fast-Forward, but don't know the particulars.
Good points all, but you should also include one of the main benefits my TiVo gives me. I don't have to rush home from work/gym/whatever to catch a program that starts at, say, 8pm. I can leisurely come home, fix dinner, do whatever other tasks need to be done, and then sit down at 8:20, for example, and start watching my program from the beginning. Can you do that with a single VCR? Nope. Uh oh, I've got another favorite program starting at 8:30. No problem, TiVo will record that one too while I'm still in the middle of the 8pm program!
If you're going to get the lifetime sub you'll save money buying a Replay.
This comparison, of course, assumes that Replay will be staying in business and not changing their service for the next year or two. Based on their recent struggles and business changes, that wouldn't be a solid bet.
Nowhere close to being true. UltimateTV is a direct competitor to TiVo's DirecTV product. UltimateTV is a joint venture of Microsoft and DirecTV. DirecTV is also a partner of TiVo. DirecTV wisely doesn't put all their eggs in one basket, but that certainly doesn't mean that MS and TiVo are on the same team.
I think you want the Nokia Media Terminal - which btw, isn't vapourware and is fully supported by one of the largest companies there is...
Not vapourware? Great! Now where was it I can buy one of these? BTW, 10 hours of digital video storage space is pathetically low. If this thing is self-upgradable, it might have a chance as a PVR. But with a 10-hour capacity, TiVo and Microsoft have little to fear. Nokia has a good start though, I'd certainly like to have some of these features on my TiVo.
I just love it when someone of "superior intelligence" has to insult someone who they think they're correcting, when in fact they're the ones who usually don't know wtf they're talking about. Stand-alone DVD support for CDRW disks is far above 50%, and I'd even venture to guess it's close to 80-90%. CDR, on the other hand, is supported by far fewer standalone players. The laser in a standalone DVD player is very compatible with the type of dye used in CDRW disks, but very few have a laser that can read the dye used in CDR disks. A quick search of the list of CDRW-compatible players at VCDHelp.com reveals 387 players that can read a CDRW.
I agree. Family Guy is fantastic, but has been screwed by FOX with the way it was moved around, yanked from the lineup every couple of weeks and then for this entire past season. Even in renewal, it gets screwed by being placed in a timeslot where it has no chance, opposite Friends and Survivor. I'll certainly be duethanks to the fact that very few others will be watching.
Red Mecury's <a href="http://www.red-mercury.com/N710Ctech.html"&g t;experiences</a> with testing backwards compatability seem to show that they don't think there will be much of a problem with older applications. Out of the box, the Clie will use "Compatability Mode" to double the pixels of older low-res applications, meaning it will display exactly as it did on an older 160x160 Palm. There's even a third-party utility called "Power HiRes" that will allow 160x160 apps to display in a higher resolution. Hardly conclusive proof that there will be no problems, but until more reviewers get their hands on demo models, it's really all we have to go by.
Actually, rolling-back to SP3 from SP4 was not easy due to the fact that SP4 made changes to the SAM and Security Hives of NT 4.0. This change also makes it difficult to use the NT 4.0 CD to do repair installations on post-SP4 systems.
One of the "A"s in "RIAA" is "America". An OpenNap server can run in any juristiction. What's the chances that the music industry has a hard time fighting OpenNap in at least one juristiction?
And the last "A" in "MPAA" is also "America", but that didn't stop them from going after non-US citizens and web hosts in their battles against DeCSS. When it comes to US mega-corps, many foreign governments seem very willing to bend over and take it.
Perhaps you should re-read the topic before you embarrass yourself any further. AFAIK, your magical solution of using telnet and X will not serve up the current desktop that a client is sitting at, like PCAnywhere and VNC for Windows can. We're talking about remote administration of a client desktop, not remote administration of a server.

Heck, I say give 'em points for just being on topic with the #1 post.
