dammit... slashdot stories linking to april fools jokes just don't work... by the time stepwise.com will be reachable again it'll be the 2nd and all this will be very old...
With blank CD-R media so cheap why would you ever give a 3 year old an original disk? Just keep the original under wraps and burn a new copy when the kid breaks the last copy you gave them.
While I admit I haven't read anything on this piece of legislation other then the link MSNBC story I am a bit curious as to what this means for Open Source Development Projects?
A key component to most OS Projects (like Mozilla), as I see it, is that any developer can contribute to the project via tackling an outstanding bug. This bug could be as benign as a HTML table background color not showing, put also can be major vulnerabilities found in the system.
So can, theoretically, something like bugzilla.mozilla.org be illegal as a result of aiding and abetting, or is the treaty limited to strictly 3rd party sources of information?
Why are some of the proposals simply just references to protocols? I'm speaking of things like *.wap, & *.web. Why can't a company live with ftp.companyname.shoes, www.companyname.shoes & wap.companyname.shoes?
It also seems to me that 95% of the tlds on this list are purely for vanity & not for organization purposes. Like RegistryPro, Ltd proposing the *.pro TLD & Dubai Technology proposing *.dubai. Shouldn't we be discussing the merits of *.apparel vs. *.shirts and not sillyness like *.i, *.pro & *.cool
I didn't see anything in the article stating if Nickolas was actually billed for the domain registration? If he was, that credit card charge may be the start of an real nice evidence trail.
As a subscriber I saw the email that Comcast sent out yesterday and my initial reaction was - wtf?
There is no indication in the wording of the new agreement that 'residential' us of VPNs are allowed. In fact, it would seem to me that all VPNs are outright banned based on the wording of the clause (ie. we're after the "FOR ANY BUSINESS ENTERPRISE" part).
So, a rep has said if I connect to my schools VPN to do some distance courses online (http://telecom.njit.edu/) its ok. If it is, why isn't the agreement worded as such.
iFilm and AMC Theaters are going to be showing some films on AMC theater screens to allow them to qualify for the awards.
A quick look at both the AMC's site and iFilm show neither have posted anything yet. Since iFilm does have the original news item I'd expect to see something from them soon.
Well I'm using both IE5 & NN4.7 on a WinNT box and The font size used on Zeldman's site is always roughly the same size or larger than slashdots. Pictured here is the comparison between Zeldman.com in IE5, NN4.7 &/. in NN4.7 (note, I have the default font size set to 'Medium' in IE5.

Problem solved!
They are actively working on it - I've seen a bunch of activity over the last few days in bugzilla. Look up bug #107023 as a startingpoint.

I got one in the mail from Wired and I havn't had a subscription in two years. So no, I don't consider this a free gift with my subscription.
