Well the software is free, you can download and run it on your own server (Express) or you can have it run via your Amazon EC2 account (Flex), which is not free. So while the software is free, the computer time is not (although I think will pay for your first 30 Amazon EC2 hours to try it out).
What about the "Laundry Basket"? I'm never really taking things out of the trash, but in the morning you sure as hell can see me searching through the laundry basket to find that shirt that always seems to disappear.
I always wondered what would happen if I searched for a domain name and then before I finished the checkout, the name was no longer available. I mean I guess it is probably not that likely, but it is certainly not impossible. This way, if you search for a domain name, NSI pre-registers it so that when you goto buy it you can be assured that no one else will have purchased it already.
Service is pretty cool for people who can't run Bind (or something similiar). However for those that can, I am guessing its probably just as effective as running a caching only DNS server and maybe Squid to emulate their phishing blocking (assuming you have access to known phishing sites). As a matter of fact, the local version should be even faster (although the cache will obviously be smaller so there is a tradeoff). Off the top of my head, I am not sure how you could do the spell checking. Does Bind have a similiar option?
Of all the games I have played I feel that the GK series had the best plot developments, which means it has a better chance to be morphed into a good film. Jane Jansen really knew how to weave random bits of real history into her fantasy games. I never could stop playing them.
Although some of her dialogue was weak, that certainlly couuld be fixed up for the movie. Plus it could be really cool to see some of the orig. actors who played the real versions in GK2. Sins of the fathers, The Beast Within, and Blood of the Sacred Blood of the Damned. Those were some good stories. Now lets see 'em in film:-)
