DNS needs stability and property rights for existing names and uses, and therefore requires somebody who can manage, second, the DNS also needs somebody with the ability to create revolutionary change and expand the technology into international character sets,telephony applications, and new TLDs, which will require someone who is visionary and not afraid to turn the sacred cows of the International Telecommunication Union and the Internet Society into hamburger if they get in the way.

Dateline - New York - April 24: Yahoo today announced it's re-cementng it's relationship with formed partner Google as replacement for it's failed effors to use frobozz as a search engine technology.
Keep in mind the nice men that are taking google public also took Yahoo public. Cough.
Well, Google made a huge leap forward from the old-guard, of AltaVista & Yahoo, who were in their own way a huge leap beyond what had gone before.
BEFORE Alta Vista? You mean Archie? (Trivia: AV's original name was gotcha.com)
I posit that the folks at Google are among the smartest around and unless they all come down with some incapactiting brain disorder nothing on the planet will render them useless. And yes, I'd put money on that.
It's a big late now. None the less, I don't mind to having to tweak my spam filters every couple of weeks, using only the filters in the MTA I use I can zap nearly all of them. There are a few tricks, but since spammers read/. pardon me if I don't explain them here.
I'll install spamassasin one day but I find no pressing need. It'd be nice to get no, or almost no spam, but I can live with the few that get by that I save and add to my filters when I get bored.
I run a small ISP. 50% of my bandwidth bill is to receive spam. I don't even care about the hours a week I spend ignoring or deleting it, but I do object to the theft of my resources most strenuously.
If you guys had any idea how much corruption there is behind the scenes of ICANN and, worse, it's Department of Commerce "oversight" you'd be more than disgusted.
Keep in mind the original mandate of ICANN was for the preliminary board to ensure a member elected board was put in place in the first 6 months.
Or that the "white paper" that mandated this was a revision of the "green paper" that said there would be a handful of new tlds waaaay back when not 4 years after the fact.
Big business ownz the root zone you use and Darth Cerf gave it to them. Take it back; primary the root for yourself.
Brian Reid inveneted Scribe (as his PhD thesis) which begat SGML which begat HTML. Einar Stefferud suggested MIME to Nathanial Borenstein who implemented it. Macs had that Hypercard thing way back when. Didn't TBL just put the bits together? (And Andresson made is usable?)

It's a great (cough) offsite backup, but very frustrating when you can't get all the pieces.
I know BIFF. BIFF is my friend. SexyKellyOsbourne you are no BIFF.

"google" as a verb is something people like to say. It's on TV. It's a fashions statement and says you're cool.
"Do you Yahoo! ?" is something people filter out.
(and it was, in response to an earlier post, Stanford, not Berkely. I think it was akebono.stanford.edu/~yahoo in its earliest incarnation.)

That's very true. But there's a lot of them. And they're worth money.
But no matter, Yahoos replacement can hardly generate vastly different search results from google and expect to be useful no can it?
Day #1 - Google announces IPO
Day #2 - Yahoo announces they dump google
You don't suppose this isn't a coincidence or that it has nothing to do with technology do you?
In a former life I swam with the sharks on Wall St. This reeks of "they're up to someting".
But no matter, if Yahoos replacement for google is any good it'll yield more or less the same search results as google.
Google may lose some ad revenue over this, which makes them worth a few gazillion less, maybe.
But people who rank highly in google shouldn't fear, if yahoos replacement is any good they should rank highly in that too.
All things considered, this strikes me as significant as a gnat hitting a 747.
I've been programming in C since 1976. Either you understand the code or you don't. If you don't comments will not save you.
Havn't you heard? There's a ".INFO" domain for non commercial, well, information. Just limit your searches to that TLD.
I know the TLD must work because I'm getting p3n1s p1ll spam pointing to domains in that zone.
Don't you love it when a plan comes together?

What makes you think for a second they'll let SCO push them around?
There's a lot of very very smart people there and a LOT of really good lawyers. And don't think for a second they will be caught unaware.
That's sofa kingdom.
