  1. Obsolete on VeriSign Jacks Up .com, .net Prices To the Max · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Why do we have TLDs anymore, anyway? Why can't I just register http://yourname/ ? Since their original intent is both broken (not all .coms are commercial etc) and obsolete (people just google for things anyway), why don't we just say that a domain is a string of alphanumeric characters terminated by a /

  2. Re:Not very on A Torrid Tale of Plagiarizing Paleontologists · · Score: 3, Insightful

    The point gets +2 interesting
    The plagiarizing joke gets +3 funny
    at this rate, my worthless summary will get +5 insightful

  3. Re:Overall a great decision, but . . . on ICANN Moves To Disable Domain Tasting · · Score: 2, Informative

    Either we are talking about different "Pirogis," or you still don't have the right transliteration: Pierogi Of course, the article does mention that you've got options: "(also perogi, perogy, pirohi, piroghi, pirogi, pirogen, piroshke or pyrohy)"

  4. Re:Don't you mean "Cracker" on NASA Hacker Wins Right to Extradition Hearing · · Score: 1

  5. Don't you mean "Cracker" on NASA Hacker Wins Right to Extradition Hearing · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I read "Nasa Hacker" as a talented programmer employed by NASA. Isn't this place nerdy enough not to fall into calling crackers hackers?

  6. Free Software HAL == legal? on Clearance For New Linux Wireless Driver · · Score: 5, Interesting

    From what I understand (and from what the Madwifi wiki tells me), the current HAL is closed source because the Atheros chipset has the technical capabilities to broadcast out of the legal range of spectrum allowed by the FCC and similar bodies. Wouldn't distributing OpenHal be illegal? The SFLC seems to answer a different question in TFA - what about the legal ramifications of distributing a free software HAL in the first place?

  7. "Free" wifi hotsputs, huh on Time Warner Customers Get Free Wi-Fi Hotspots · · Score: 1

    So wait,

    I pay Time Warner for bandwidth. Then I use Fonera's software so that I can give my bandwidth away to others. They pay Fonera a couple bucks for a day of access, and Fonera splits this price with Time Warner.

    Anything I'm missing here?

    Seems like you'd be better off investing in some quality Florida swampland
