It only requires changes in your DNS. If those who are currently providing your DNS service won't allow you to make the change (ie they don't support TXT records), then go get something free.
The person that wrote "RTFA" is trying to help you in a more profound way. They are trying to teach to learn to read before asking, something that will make you look like less of an idiot (which you presently look like).
Give the man a fish, and you feed him for a day. Teach the man to fish, and you feed him for a lifetime.
AT&T has been sending me checks for years to switch over. One of those where you cash the check, and your long distance provider changes. Some of them have been $20 and some of them have been as high as $100. I always cash them, wait for the change, then call MCI and get frequent flyer miles for switching back to them. It's an easy scam, and takes no more than 5 minutes every month. But I guess it's dead now.
The only problem with allowing this behavior is that you open yourself to more cracking attempts, including more fierce ones. The crackers know that they could just say they were writing a newspaper article if they were caught.
Suppose you want your domain with registrar that provides a lot of services, but they are a little bit expensive. Since the transfer system adds time to the domain registration everytime you transfer, you can the services of that registrar for many years only paying their mark-up for one year.
Just register your domain at some cheap-ass registrar for a few years. Then transfer it to the registrar you want for 1 year. You just saved a bunch a money! When the domain is close to expiring, transfer back to cheap-ass and then back to your registrar.
Not knowing where you are from, it's hard to say if you are dumb and just don't understand the scale of gigantic byzantine bureaucracies or if you are somehow insulated from them.
I come from a family where everyone works in government. I think you are lacking a clue of what goes on "behind the scenes". There is A LOT of cooperation between law enforcement, no matter what terms the any two countries appear to be on. I was giving the leaders case as just an example. Look, people know each other the world over. Especially when they work in the same area. It's these people that many times defy whatever the current propaganda says is going on and decide to work together. The point is that *you* will never know who is working together. Security is something far too important to leave to assumptions. Your idea is novel, I'll give you that, but it is flawed.
I read your site, and your project is fundamentally flawed. There is no way to know the real relationships between people in different governments. Many countries that are openly hostile to each other frequently cooperate on a lower level. In fact, many leaders that appear to be hostile to each other are in many cases privately friends. Basing your network on these assumptions is a big mistake. The solution has to be technical, and not based on any political or economic understandings.
havingto activate it form your phone is a bit of FUD the CC companies like to spread.
No it's not. I've taken new credit cards on the road before, thinking I could activate them from somewhere else. However, when I called, rather than get the automated system, one of the reps comes on and asks who I am and tells me to go home and activate it (they do NOT compromise). There is an easy way around it though. I just login into the website, change my number, call and activate it (now getting the automated system), log back into the website, change my number back.

The proper role of PDFs is as a portable format for representing material to be printed.
Citation, please? Or did you just pull that out of your ass? Show me one quote from the spec or someone on the spec committee that says so.

ghostscript is not gsview
I didn't say it was. gsview is Ghostscript. Here's a link if you don't believe me. From the linked README: "GSview is a graphical interface for Ghostscript". So I'm "the one lacking clues"?
Acrobat PDFs are smaller, loader faster, and generally have less problems than those generated by Ghostscript.

Until some unknown point in the future, when spam-detecting systems are going to ramp up scores for emails from domains without SPF records.

Apparently you were found innocent, because you're here posting on Slashdot.
Do you have another torrent link?
so does this mean KDE and Openoffice will finally run at decent speed?
No, you're going to need quantum computing for that.
Oh yeah, well I'm hostmaster@kcckp.net. Bow down before I change your dns entry!
You can do this legally in the US without buying music CD-Rs.
WHY the fuck are you commenting on it then?
You just make yourself look stupid when you talk about things you know nothing about. Oh shit, I forgot I was on Slashdot... nevermind.
Uh huh, editors never lie. But that's not the point, being a reporter for a newspaper is only one of many justifications someone could claim.

Yahoo doesn't provide IMAP.
Here is a nice way to scam the transfer system.

Here's a better suggestion. Go over to a friend's house and take his or her's. Keyboards fit nicely underneath a coat.
That's hardly insightful, I install new packages (remote and local) all the time using up2date.

Just an FYI, we probably have different banks.

Unless they recorded the meeting. Many places do this, you know.
It generates better PDF than anything else I've dealt with
Except Adobe Acrobat.
And while it is a bit cumbersome as a PDF viewer, it's not really designed as one -- gsview has that role.
This really shows you're clueless. What do you think the "gs" in "gsview" stands for?
YOU ARE A DUMB FUCK
