Given the submitter's email address, this is for lawyers and the like to use, right? IIRC, Wordperfect is used in the courts a lot more than Word, or so I've heard.
For example, I use @spam-yahoo.com for my mail account on yahoo.com. If there's a real domain called spam-yahoo.com, well, they deserve it (there wasn't 6 months ago anyways).
The most important thing here is, of course, the targetting at the desktop. Merced is targetted for servers. When you target the desktop market, you can't have prices in the stratosphere.
interesting. not only does NSI jumpstart it's new auction operation but it prevents "competitive" registrars from ever getting a potshot at SLDs freed up due to nonpayment. oh, and what exactly happens to the resale price in excess of the unpaid bill? gee, i wonder.
Good point. When a bank auctions off a house, after the bank is paid off, the auctioneer the fees, etc.. if there is anything left, it's supposed to go to the guy who had the house seized (or his other creditors perhaps). I'm sure NSI will (perhaps illegally?) pocket the change.
This is a bad faith thing, especially given NSI's poor record of missing received payments, of which stories on/. have been made before.
Here's an interesting point: When people talk about whether water would be liquid or solid on mars, they're referring to pure, 100% distilled water, not brine or any water with salts in it. When there are dissolved substances, the freezing point is depressed, so water could be -10 C during the day and still liquid.
Also, on Earth, there is a plethora of water below the surface, although you would not want to drink it. It's usually saturated in salts like calcium or sodium chloride, carbonates, and sulfates. However, even 10 km below the surface of the Earth, in hot conditions and high pressures, 0bacteria thrive in these conditions (as they do in the Hydrocarbon deposits as well).
Given that Mars has plenty of surface evidence of (geologically) recent free flowing water, the scientific community would be remiss to assume that subsurface water does not exist. It likely has a lot of brine belows it's surface, perhaps rich in Iron salts.
Also, there are moons of Jupiter, like Europa (which is basically 10 km of ocean from what we can see on the surface) and Ganymede (with a lot of hydrocarbons) where conditions that bacteria and simple one celled life require exist. Given that we have already learned that bacteria in hostile environments on Earth (Antarctica, for example, in very dry and cold conditions) can hibernate for millions of years, it's conceivable that rocks knocked loose from Earth from the occasional large meteor (i.e. asteroid or comet) could transport bacteria to Mars and elsewhere. I think that if life did not evole there, it was transported from Earth by this process (or perhaps even the other way). Some people have speculated that bacterial or similar life found on Mars or elsewhere within this solar system is completely different from that found on Earth -- I would postulate that it is probably no more 'alien' that what we might find in the ocean near black smokers, that big underice lake in Antarctica (can't remember the name), or a barren, cold, high altitude mountain.
"There may be more to the computer moniker "Mafiaboy" than first believed. Montreal police said today that they moved in on the 15-year-old hacker last weekend after learning from wiretaps that his father had taken out a contract to harm or frighten a business associate and that the attack was imminent. They had wiretapped the boy's house shortly after U.S. and Canadian investigators identified that someone who lived there had launched a disabling computer attack that had shut down CNN's Web site and possibly other big sites in February."
IANAL, but the scope of law is entirely different for receiving a single copy of a copyrighted worked copied wrongly than for giving it out to 20 others.
I'd bet that many of the 347 000 or so Napster users banned at the request of Metallica were unwittingly sharing Metallica stuff. Think of the broad range of users that Napster appeals to: from people who think AOL is the internet to advanced users who dual boot into LINUX regularily.
They know full well, provided that they sit there and watch Napster all the time. Lots of people probably leave it on all night.
When you're clicking through the setup, you have to have a keen eye to note that the directory selected for downloads has an icon next to it that designates sharing.
By design, the software promotes copyright violation, even without the knowledge of the user.
"Without their knowledge?", I heard you say. That's right--Napster by DEFAULT sets all the files in the directory that you download mp3's to shareable with the rest of the world. So if you once downloaded a Metallica single, now you're also giving it out to others, which is a matter of completely different magnitude.
I believe that the new images are catalogued by orbital pass and something like latitude and longitude, but you might have to go through a few to find them.
By the way, when you go to that page linked in the/. story (once it's not/.'ed...), there's three main choices for the images...the one on the right is the new stuff that was released.
Perhaps it's because it's the weekend and the kiddies are out, but already 1/2 the comments in this story or so are jokes about the IO state abbreviation and the state of Iowa, rednecks in Iowa, etc.
Is no one interested in Io the moon of Jupiter? Is no one interested in the scientific implications? Is there anyone out there with an intelligent comments to make?
The amount spent studying space is small in comparison to that wasted on activities like professional wrestling.
The point of studying it is because it's there to study, and because planetary behavior is important for our understanding of the universe. If I recall correctly, the land tides on Io are something like 300 ft every day, which is why it's so active.
If the MPAA stated that a DMCA violation was being made against them there, and swore to it, they are probably guilty of perjury, since the DeCSS program on this page was for removing C ontent StyleSheets from HTML pages, not for decrypting DVD's with C ontent ScrambleSystem.
I have a win95 system where I run WinRAR. When I found the Kerberos specs from microsoft (in a file kerbspec.exe, I was in the WinRAR directory browsing mode. When I double clicked them, it just opened the archive, bypassing the click through.

Well, most of the "Bulk Mail" filters work by assuming all mail without your email address in the To: or Cc: field is spam.
However, often legitimate mailing lists don't put your email address in To: or Cc:. I subscribe to several.

Perhaps now bloatware companies (MS?) will have to redesign their software so that the RAM requirements are not doubled with each release.

Otherwise the minimum standard for Windows NT 6^H^H^H^H2001^H, ummm, I mean Windows
