Actually its a terrible idea. SSL only works because you know that the connection is encrypted between you and the person you're talking to. SSL to an untrusted host is just as bad as no ssl because the man-in-the-middle (which is kind of the definition of an ISP) could easily produce a certificate that says, "hey, I'm what ever page you wanted to look at". And the insert ads.

There's an iso standard for how water resistant watches have to be to get the 30/50/100/200/1000 metre resistant mark.
A 30 metre resistant watch will probably survive washing up, or wearing in the shower. a 50 should survive surface swimming. a 100 should survive diving to 10 metres, a 200, should survive diving to 30 metres and a 1000 to as deep as humans have ever been and survived.
The standards are ISO 2281 and ISO 6425 if anyone cares.
Sure, but you can be Damn sure the government of Iraq (you know the new one.. the one we put in place (we being aus, uk, us etc) ) aren't happy with having to go to an American registar to update their government DNS entries. And there's more examples too.
What if Taiwan wanted to register http://republic.tw/ ? Right now they can because they control their own DNS, but what if the US was ardently against TW independence, and controlled.tw?.
Part of being a good citizen of the world is allowing for countries to make their own decisions. Its like trusting your kids, they'll never grow up if you dont give them responsiblilty for their own affairs.
And believe it or not, this stuff matters A LOT. To people outside the US. When the US says "you must obay the Non-Prolifiration Treaty, but we're going to build bunker buster nukes", or "Democracy is best, and no taxation with out represention, but we're going to control the Top Level Domains", people get upset. Trust me, i see it every day here in europe and i imagine its much worse in countries which are not strong US allies.
The.iq TLD administrator is (afiak) controlled by a texan DNS registration company. So the newly formed government of iraq is not currently *allowed to register* names like www.government.iq etc.
Giving the UN control of the TLD's would mean the government of.iq could go to the UN and say "give us control of our own domain names now please" and not have to deal with a private for-profit company in texas..
"If it aint broke dont fix it": Doesnt mean it cant be improved... The DNS system's great, it recognises many contries and sub communities that are contrivertial (spelling my own) like Norfolk island, and yet manages to be uncontrovertial (SMO) due to [the late] Jon Postels, brilliant tactic of using the ISO standards to resolve all disputes.
But the internet is growing, and arguably the TLD's are now more important than the ISO country codes, and Everything becomes political eventually.
So its right and proper that the TLD's now be controlled by the United Nations, and not by the United States of America.
My turn. Firstly i'm an Australian living in Europe. Im not anti-US in any way: i disagree with the current administration, but i value the anglo-european view of the world and the US is a big part of that.
Now: The anglo european view of the world is one of Freedom and Democracy. And no where is that espoused more than in the US. So what kind of hyprocracy is it to say: you can cant control your own countries identity on the internet. And you cant have a say in how its run.
Let the US keep control of.com,.net.org, and.us for sure but let the root servers be controled by the UN.
Case in point. The.iq (iraq) domain STILL hasnt been handed back to the government of Iraq.
Anyway, the US was founded on idealism and "self evident truths" and its breaking collective our hearts to see it fall before the alter of real-politik, pragmatism, and partisan politics.
Eve online (crowd control software) is the main user of stackless python. Most of the patches are either contributed by them or requested for them. BF2 also uses python for most of its non engine work. (not sure about the AI though.) Rock on python.
I missed the kingscross one by 15 mins. As i left kings cross they were making announcments that if there was a "C.D.Thomson" on the platform could they make them selves known to staff. Might have been a bag left on the platform or train, or it might have been a coded message to staff. This was at 8:32 on the metropoliton line platform.
We're invited to work one day a week on somthing that interests us as well. Of course the compay gets to keep all the patents and copyrights which is kind of a bummer. We call it saturday.
For a lot of people the default stack for python IS J2EE. Where i work we regularly run jython code under weblogic and ocassionally tomcat. Have a look at this excellent tutorial to see what i mean: http://seanmcgrath.blogspot.com/JythonWebAppTutori al.html

125% is 25% extra..
How do the python crowd expect to get taken seriously when implementing a wiki takes an whopping 125% as long in python as in ruby!!!!!!????

(oh wait, they did ajax as well..
Wow, looks like it has been handed over. I tip my hat to you AKA. But my point is still valid.
If the US didnt *want* it handed over to the IQ gov, they could have stopped it, and probably would have.
And like the ACLU says: "even if you disagree with us, we will fight to the death for your right to say as such" (to paraphrase)

Rock on python.
I second your comment about colinux, ive tried SFU and cygwin as well but when it comes to the crunch you just cant beat colinux running debian.
"apt-get update" just works
"apt-get install mozilla" just works
And if you want to make a back up before you try somthing dangerous, just make a copy of the image of the root file system.

Not trolling or anything but there isnt really a reason the internet should be divided into US and them anymore.
