This kind of reminds of this article:
SMS Relay -- An Idea for Fault-Tolerant Communications
on O'Reilly. The guy suggested that text messaging should have a fallback peer to peer mode, in case of disasters like 911 that wipe out all the transmitters.
Not disagreeing with that. ICANN sounds like a bunch of clueless bureaucrats. I just disagree with Auerbach using that as an excuse to comment on society as a whole.
Fucking A! I am a PHB, and agree with what you wrote. I do try and shield my guys from politics and make life easier for them, but I hate having to wipe the arses of some of them.
And people in charge of the school catering department should be allowed to just fill their trollies up in supermarkets and run off without paying, right?
I don't think schools should be allowed to break laws just because they're public and don't have much money.
If the US is anything like the UK, people's time would probably be much better spent working out what stupid PC schemes the local council has squandered money on.

When you finally hump and dump the chick you meet online, the last thing you want is her emailing and phoning you all day long. Or your girlfriend/wife finding out. But you should still stay in touch, just in case you fancy a repeat performance some time. Just say your PC crashed and you lost all your passwords etc etc if she asks why you haven't been in touch.
Tip #2: Carefully Choose Your Online Name
Don't call yourself "Big Ten Incher" unless you are. Otherwise, prepare yourself for the looks of disappointment when you get your kit off.
Tip #3: Have Your Wits About You When Meeting in Real Life
Fuck yes. Get there late, so that you can spot her before she spots you. That way, if she has a face like a smacked arse, it's not too late to abort the mission. This may be hard for some of you to accept, but I have reason to believe that some of the women you meet online may lie about how attractive they really are. Otherwise why would they be trying to score via the net?
Tip #4: Trust Your Instincts
If something about your online encounters feels uncomfortable, you can almost bet that an in-person encounter will feel the same. The best thing to do is to let them down gently with a polite "Fuck off, I'd rather stick my cock in a blender." Before doing this, make sure that you have followed Tips 1 & 2 to the letter. This system of abusing people that can't find out who you are has been working on Usenet for years.
Tip #5: Be Weary of Totally Free Personals Services
And be wary of them as well. If you follow my tips, you have so much action your dick will be worn down to a stump. Also, when a service is entirely free, be cautious of the quality of the individuals with whom you correspond - you want a women that can afford to pay for dinner when you go out, not some tight bitch that can't even pay for an ad. In addition, free services are easy targets for devious or insincere types because of that fact: they're free. So go for somewhere a bit more selective, otherwise you could end up with some gullible tart and end up stirring the porridge of a couple of hundred other blokes.

Communism has killed more people than fascism.
I stopped reading after he started his populist, simplistic "big companies are bad" shit.
Sorry - I'm too old for muppets. I'll stick to Enterprise and Voyager re-runs.

But where are the machine gun mounts, CS Gas Launcher etc etc?
Um... because Hemos is a dick and doesn't know much about commercial mail systems? Notes/Domino is way cool, does what Exchange does, works etc etc.
..Lotus Notes/Domino, that has all these features, runs on Unix and Linux, and most importantly ACTUALLY WORKS.
..is how they took the name of a fabulous whisky and applied it to their shite system.
Also, some cashpoints in the UK run some version of NT now and I saw one at Charing Cross station with a fatal error dialog box on the screen.
It's a gravy train that Katz has jumped upon, just like Columbine and the Open Source movement! Do I win a prize?
It's an MSN site, but the author is Paul Krugman, who you can find out more about here:

I could write loads here about how and why, but instead get the reasons from someone who can explain it better:

He's not dead - he's gone incognito to Mars.
Give it up with this Stephen King crap you numbnut.
If Bill Gates wants to send himself to Mars, I'd chip in.

Can't think of anything finer...
It would make a change from doing it with big, fat, hairy blokes pretending to be women.
Is this like when you walk into a bar, and try and chat a women up, and she tells you to get lost, and you tell all your friends she was a lesbian?
We believe you, honest.
Good advice, but I'd like to add my 2p...

Yeah! Why no mention of this as a main Slashdot story?
I mean it must have been a pisser if you were getting free TV but still, that was quite a cool plan.
Can we set-up an interview with the techie that planned it?
... geeks actually know what sport is?
First Gavin Bong, and now this! "Michael JasonSmith" what sort of a name is that?
