Since we are an ISP, I can understand the concern, however, also being a privacy freak, I think it adds a certain weight to the decision of wether to file the search in the first place. It adds a certain levity. I'm not sure what percentage of these search warrants are unnecessary, but I think that having due process in place is important. Opinions?"

The campaign is (of course) targeted to domains registered somewhere other than Verisign. The mailings are nothing more than domain "slamming", and look like [2]renewal bills rather than a solicitation to renew with Verisign. What's particularily slimy is that the mailings are for renewals on domains either recently renewed with someone else, or for domains expiring between 120 and 180 days! Bulkregister is also seeking an immediate injunction against the mailings saying that they are an impediment to current contracts with their customers." There's also a [3]Reuters article, or see [4]our original story. Bulkregister has run [5]their own sleazy marketing campaign in the past, and [6]paid the price for it.

Broadcasters continue to be afraid of the PVR, admitedly with good reason for their current business model. As I point out in my essay on [3]the future of TV, PVRs and Advertising, TV ads are a terrible bargain for the user, paying us about $1.20 per hour of our attention, and something has to change. It's worth noting that they say they like the Tivo over the Replay because the Tivo does not have 30 second skip, but in fact [4]it does."

Downloads may also be transparently scanned for viruses (through an external scanner). Additionally there is an interface for writing scripts to add features or modify frox's behavior, and examples are included to limit download file size and to transparently direct connections to specific hosts to mirror servers. The proxy is written with security in mind, and in the default setup runs as a non-root user in a chroot jail. gaim 0.58 (Default) http://freshmeat.net/releases/84232/ Gaim is a GTK-based messenger application.

Jpegpixi is unique in that it tries to preserve the quality of the JFIF image as much as possible. Most graphics programs decode JFIF images when they are loaded, and re-encode them when they are saved, which results in an overall loss of quality. Jpegpixi, on the other hand, does not decode and re-encode the image, but manipulates the encoded image data, protecting the quality of the image as much as possible.
