How about Ana Voog? She's had a cam running 24/7 in her home since August of '97. I seem to recall she once took the whole setup on a road trip back before it was convenient.
Both companies were kind enough to offer to transfer the domain for a fee.
Actually, at some point enom was offering to allow registerfly customers to become enom.com customers at no cost: scroll down about 2/3 of the way and see the section "OPTION 1".
Every time it's proven that global warming is happening, we have people who insist that it isn't. We're not even at the point where we're trying to determine whether or not humans are responsible
Were it not for global warming, many parts of the world would still be under an ice field.
The latest science standards are the fifth for the state in eight years
Politics in education. 5 different "standards" in 8 years. Maybe the next standard should jettison government from education. No, I don't know how it would work - but it already doesn't work anyway.
This week's massive but unsuccessful denial-of-service (DoS) attack on the Internet's root DNS, which targeted military and other networks, did not rise to the level of requiring response, but made the possibility of a massive Internet collapse more real than theoretica
You know what? If DOD, or any government agency, is depending on internet for any mission critical activities, then it's being run by a bunch of morons who need to be replaced anyway.
Really? Why would you suggest knuckling under to it at all? Don't BUY an iPod, or anything else the bastards tax. Let your voice (dollars, euros, whatever) be heard. At the end of the day, business buys legislatures and your money effects business. Vote where it matters - forget the ballot box.
you're likely to find an audience that will listen to an attorney.
That's exactly why companies don't step up and handle problems, large or small. Because no matter what they do, somebody is going to hire an attorney and demand more, more, more. Were I with Dell, you can bet I'd stay as far away from this as possible because the second they indicate anything resembling culpability every landshark attorney in the country will be slobbering all over their class action lawsuit paperwork.
The summary claims that it "could be used by post-apocalyptic people to feed a hungry planet". If it were a system of distributed vaults spread around the planet, I could see this happening.
Let me be the first to accuse you of not reading TFA. This is but one of a number of seed banks around the planet, according to TFA.
Another part of this that bothers me is the claim that it cost Boston $500K to $750K to respond that day. How the hell did they spend that much money in a single day? Or was it operational costs they'd have incurred anyway, plus gas money to drive the emergency vehicles? If it costs $750,000 to pick up 38 packages in Boston, I need to go into the courier business there.
Nothing will come out of Senate to increase privacy
No kidding. How the hell does congress reconcile on the one hand play at protecting "privacy" while at the same time doing this: ISP Tracking Legislation Hits the House? I know, I know - congress wants us to be protected from everyone but congress. These people are almost collectively bipolar.
Sure, if you're using off the shelf SATA drives in a USB enclosure attached to a server, but enterprise class? A decent attached storage array will start at $1700.00 per terabyte, (based on a 4.5 TB Polyell 3U SATA unit), then add in the cost of racks, rackspace, bandwidth, power, cooling, new networking equipment, admins to manage it, tape units for offsite backups, etc...the costs are much higher than $300.00 per TB.
So, the cost of your internet access will skyrocket like your cellphone bill. The government has been salivating for a way to tax internet usage, this might be just the excuse they need.
But this bill does not seem to give anyone the power to order ISPs to start tracking users in ways they aren't already.
Even if it is this innocuous, the fact that ISPs might be required to track and retain these records is abhorrent. We're careening headlong into a police state in America.
Sadly, from the article, it looks as though this will not set a precedent that will discourage the RIAA from doing this sort of thing
Nope. From Yesterdays Portsmouth Herald, an Augusta, Maine man has been sued by the RIAA for distributing 5 allegedly pirated songs. The article says 18,000 lawsuits have been filed since 9/03, 6 of them in Maine.
This isn't about the government writing laws that prevent you from killing yourself in stupid ways. This is about the government writing laws that prevent you from killing yourself in stupid ways that create lots of paperwork for the government! Do you have any idea how
You're probably right. Or, the justification will be that by stepping out in front of some poor schmuck, you're causing HIM/HER undue stress and harm. In the end it's just another shining example of the Nanny-State at it's worst. I hope the good people of New York will slap this down before it gets any legs.
But it turns out that it only applies to people on the Sex Offenders Register, which isn't quite as bad. There's some precedent for "you break the law once, you sacrifice some of your rights".
Given the ease of changing your screen name, they know registering one particular online group is futile. How long until they make the leap to registering everyone who "goes online"? Maybe you'll need an "internet license" like a drivers license to log on. Make ISPs the traffic cops of the net, maybe?
You don't understand how much this annoys me. I wouldn't let the BSA in my front door, let alone comply
Thank you. Why anybody would let these people in the door is beyond me. Do they compensate companies for the cost of accommodating this audit? Of course not.
I'm not convinced. Bottom line - the federal government has its fingers in too many pies. Education would be a great example - the states are perfectly capable of seeing to the education of their children without some washington bureaucrat looking over their shoulders. There are many more pies the feds shouldn't have their fingers in. It's all about power. The more they can consolidate in DC, the happier they are and the worse off you are.
We fought against the drinking age issue, but congress had tied it to the funding of the roads. IIRC, In the end after 2 years of losing ALL road funding, the state gave in.
This is one of the things Americans need to stand up against - the feds holding states hostage.
Truly scandalous. They take $$$ from the citizens of each state and then hold them hostage to get it back. What they can't accomplish through legislation, they force through coercion.

Is this related to the sound of one hand clapping?

Actually, I once spent an afternoon in downtown Boston, lost, in a large service truck. I might have paid $500K for a map that day
Oh, I don't know. I've sprouted decade old tomato seed. As long as they rotate the stock out periodically, they should be fine.
Let me be the first to accuse you of not reading TFA. This is but one of a number of seed banks around the planet, according to TFA.
Plenty, as long as some of them are sesame seeds for the buns.
