You do, of course, realise that those "no-dot" TLDs will be visible only by the clients of the ISPs that use the alternate DNS root. The ICANN does not include these domains into the root zone and all DNS servers use by default ICANN's root servers ( [A-M].root-servers.net )
I guess there are still a large number of companies willing to throw money into this, so the theory of stupidity-based business models being a guaranteed success is once again confirmed.
Google has become ubiquitous; They make products people want to use. And they don't even feel compelled to say "customer satisfaction is our number one priority!" on every sign, railing, and even doormat in the building.
Wrong. We (as in "the people that use google search/mail/im/whatever") are not Google's customers. We are Google's material. Google gets its revenue from advertising, not from free stuff. The advertisers are Google's customer. So the complete phrase would be "Google makes products people want to use so badly that they are willing to spend their bandwith/eyeball time/clicks/money on Google's customers' ads".
So let's stop deluding ourselves that Google cares for the people. We're just sheep in the grand scheme of things. But look at those pretty Ajax pens!
Robots essential for the aging, long-lived population of Japan.
I have been told before that I read too much Asimov when I was a kid, but that sounds just like "Naked Sun" waiting to happen.
Maybe I'm just being paranoid, but I've seen too much anti-F/OSS articles lately to consider it a mere coincidence.
This "GPL may be valid, but it's unenforceable" today, the one with "the corporations are just using our ideals in order to make money" yesterday, and a series of "windows servers are cheaper, easier to patch and just as popular as *nix servers" articles last week. And all this just on/. , i've seen articles along the same tune on different (and not so linux-friendly) sites, too.
This means "they" are getting desperate. This means "they" admit they're losing and that we win. On the other hand, this also means we'll see more and more of this kind of garbage in the future.
Disclaimer: I might be redundant, but i haven't seen this discussed while skimming the thread.
I don't remember seeing AV software that didn't scan inside RAR archives, at least not in the last 5 years. All the mailserver setups I did that had virus scanning also scan inside RAR archives. That must mean viruses as RAR attachments are not a novelty, do they?
A more recent trend seems to be encrypted RAR or ZIP archives, with the password included in the e-mail (sometimes as a picture, thus making sure of human involvement). That's also old, I think I saw this for the first time almost a year ago.
I always get those delays when my dhcp or ntp client finds itself with no network, and I use Ctrl-C to cut the waiting time.
So what this post and the parent mean to say is "find out what the heck gets stuck and take it out". Or use the boot-up time to do something useful;-)

I'd rather see meaningful updates exactly when I need them, but maybe is just my idealism acting up again.

With the internet being the defacto standard for terrorist communication
In other news, air just became the defacto standard for terrorist respiration.

Please, please, people, make an effort and reread your post before submitting it.
My very first thought was: Gaim has an EULA? Oh my god, how long did i sleep last night?
