They've got enough cash in the bank to run the business for decades if they never made another cent... They may not be the 800lb gorilla, but I don't know how you could possible predict a collapse.
The domains sending the email exist, but the ones advertised in the email do not. Because SpamCop (et. al) punish not only the sending IP block, but also the advertised host/IP block, spammers are advertising sites that won't exist for a few hours, tricking SpamCop (et al) into reporting on domains that don't exist and therefore cannot be penalized.
Do you stop advancing technology just because the spammers may benefit from it?
Rapid updates to the.com and.net zones is VERY helpful for a large number of people - punishing them because it also helps spammers is like tearing down skyscrapers to avoid terrorists in airplanes.
It's simply not an option... in my mom's classroom, the only PC is a 400MHz celeron with 128MB of RAM running Windows 98. It's connected to an internal network, but can't access the internet.
1) World Wind won't run with that CPU/RAM setup, just not powerful enough.
2) No internet connection makes World Wind pretty useless.
Public education sucks in California.
EdGCM permits teachers and students to explore the fundamentals of climate science utilizing tools identical to those used in major climate research programs. Many simple climate experiments are possible (e.g. How does the sun warm the planet?), but, it is also possible to conduct in-depth investigations of current events, in near real-time, as they are being studied by climate scientists
That's great. One of my favorite software packages in the world is Nasa's World Wind, but when I tried to show it to my parents (both high school science teachers), the reaction was the same: we don't have time or computers to use this.
The state of public education (at least in California) is so poor that this is going to be great for college-level students, but much of the target audience will be left out due to budgets and a testing-centric curriculum.
Indeed. However, when you have a proprietary OS that doesn't let you install a lot of broken software, it's harder to break it. When you have a cheap box that's easy to ship and essentially free to re-image, it becomes almost irrelevant.
Microsoft recently restarted their MSN TV service... I've seen ads running in Prime Time on major TV stations here in Los Angeles.
They may feel that the cheap price of internet access and rapidly dropping hardware costs may mean it's time to go for that market again. On the other hand, they may also be trying to get rid of some old inventory between Windows releases.

Hand coding is great if you do 20 pages per year. The people who do 50 pages per month take what they can get.

"Man on man"? Man oh man, Freud would love this!
So when do you combine this with Fleck's nude recognition algorithms to provide a service that can identify a person by partial nude picture?
The possibilities are endless!
Failed requests (non existent domains) always go to the root servers.
You've misunderstood the problem ...
