2) There is only one allowed intersection between any two Interstates. The intersection of I-69 and I-94 is unique. That is NOT the case with Autobahns, which can loop back on each other and cross in multiple places. This very nearly got me lost on the way to Stuttgart from the Nurburgring, and the only reason I caught it was that the sun was in the wrong place after the interchange...
I-90 and I-94 intersect/converge in four different states: Montana, Wisconsin, Illinois, and Indiana.
This isn't suspicion, it's fact. The missing ballot boxes from Cook county were actually found some time later. The ballots they contained made Nixon the winner of Cook County, and therefore Illinois, and therefore the nation.
It's not fact. Kennedy still would have had an Electoral College majority even if he had not carried Illinois.
The clause IDSA cites in its complaint applies only to sites for which register.com (through its "FreeStepSite" service) provides web hosting services, not to domains for which it only acts as registrar.
I believe formula 1 bosses were looking at something like this so that the car sponsorship logos would be added on digitally, broadcaster by broadcaster.
My recollection was that this was being considered (and may be done now) for trackside billboards, not the logos on the cars themselves. Digitally adding data to the cars would be harder to do - billboards stay in one place.
If you who think that etoy would win in court against eToys would do well to examine some of the prior cases of this kind. Take the ucla.com case, for example. In this case, someone registered ucla.com and put up a bunch of links to porn sites. The University of California Los Angeles (ucla.edu) sued them and won, based on the fact that the ucla.com site was taking advantage of the name confusion.
The difference, of course, is that UCLA was in operation long before ucla.com was registered, while etoy.com was registered before eToys even existed (not just before they registered etoys.com). Unless someone in Switzerland has a time machine, the domain name can not possibly have been chosen to cause or exploit confusion with eToys.
It would be even simpler than you suggest. First of all, no speed data would be "broadcast" to the satellite - the car would simply compare its current speed to the data in its navigational database. This database would probably be on a DVD-ROM or some other removable storage medium to permit periodic updates. If this is the case, the way to get around the system would be to obtain a replacement disk with a database whose speed limit attributes are inflated.
Logistically, maintaining a series of sats to monitor every vehicle in the US is insane.
That's not what's being considered. The satellites involved are the ones used for the GPS system. They would just permit the car to determine its own location, consult the navigational database to determine the speed limit, and reduce speed on its own with no outside monitoring or intervention.
Isn't this a security issue also? last time I messed with this kinda stuff I needed to have a working e-mail address to modify and verify changes. hmmmmmmmmmm
NSI's payment system is separate from the one used to make changes. NSI doesn't care whether the person making the payment has anything to do with the domain, just whether the credit card is valid.
When names lapse in the.NU domain, they can't be reregistered until 30 days later. They are also placed on a list of expired names so that anyone who might be interested in registering them can find out when they will be available.
If there were similar procedures in place for.com/.net/.org, there would be time to correct mistakes like the one in this case before someone else got the name. ICANN and/or the registries should take action to implement such a policy.
This change is a consequence of NSI's agreements with the Dept. of Commerce and ICANN. NSI announced it more than two weeks ago.
Whois on rs.internic.net is now "registry whois" (previously on whois.crsnic.net), which includes an entry for what server to use for "registrar whois", where one can find contact information. The change is part of the transition away from using "interNIC" (a US Government trademark) to refer to NSI's registrar business.
Network Solutions verifies changes as legitimate by sending an automated email to the registered owner of the domain.
The unknown hacktivist managed to subvert that not-so-secure security measure and update the domain name server information to a company called VDirect.
ICANN's Registrar Accreditation Agreement effectively requires prepayment (see Section III.I.4). The only.com/.net/.org registrar not (yet) bound by that agreement is Network Solutions.
Umm, I am dissappointed. Aparrently no one as found the vulnerability I found around a year ago. Its a real vulnerability, not just weak web based email stuff. Lets just say it has to do with mail-from authentication of domain name changes. I am sure someone will figure it out now.
Where have you been? Domain hijacking exploits using 'mail-from' have been in the news quite a bit lately. Recent well-publicized cases have involved godhatesfags.com and kkk.com.
The Uniform Dispute Resolution Policy developed by the registrars and provisionally adopted by ICANN would preclude name grab attempts like the Clue case. Trademark holders would no longer be able to go to NSI and have domains unilaterally shut off based on alleged conflicts, as Hasbro did. Instead, they would have to go before an arbitration panel where both sides would have the opportunity to present their cases. That's why the Hollywood types are organizing against the UDRP - it gives them fewer extralegal 'rights' than the current NSI policy.
While ICANN is far from perfect (it has allowed its focus on NSI to distract it from building truly representative governance structures), it is still a marked improvement over the present status quo. If ICANN were to fail, its replacement would be far worse - an international treaty organization along the lines of the ITU or WIPO. These organizations' track records suggest that individuals and small businesses would be even more badly disenfranchised under a successor regime than they purportedly are now.

Prepare to be disappointed, then. Their Web page states that it requires MSIE 5.0 or later and Flash 7.
What is H&R Block?

Based on their postrace press conferences, I think Hakkinen is the robot, not Schumacher.
There are two different .web applicants: Image Online Design and Afilias, a consortium of 19 ICANN registrars.
BTW, I notice that Joe Baptista's .god domain hasn't made it into the proposed lists. Anybody know what gives there?
Presumably, he didn't feel like spending the $50K to apply.
That was the Swedish version, not Belgian.

1) Determine the data format, unless it's an open standard like my employer's format.
2. Change the 'speed limit' attribute for each of thousands of road segments.

These maps already exist. My employer is one of the companies that produce them. They are currently used by in-car navigation systems.

Here's one example of this, where someone posted a message to a mailing list claiming that Y2K errors in his Perl scripts are due to a "bug" in Perl.

Nonsense. From this Wired article:
