        About 2 weeks ago, someone brought to my attention that our script
        to periodically merge /etc/motd.public into /etc/motd wasn't
        running.  When I looked into it, the cron daemon was running, but
        there hadn't been any root activity in the log since April 7th.  I
        looked into it for a while, but got lost in other things I was

8/25    What's the best way to get a domain name that is about to expire?
        \_ It's called backordering.  It used to be fixed priced but now
           they're trying to auction them.  Still a good deal though.

4/02    We use Perforce at work for revision control. It seems to work okay.
        Lately, a lot of the newer developers are saying that Perforce
        sucks and we should switch to Mercurial or Git. I have done some
        searching on the Internet and some others have this opinion. Added
        advantage is that Mercurial and Git are free. However, there would
        be some work to switch for the sysadmins and the developers.

        Is this expected to work?
        \_ Soda doesn't have a real IPv6 address.  The IPv6 addresses you see
           in ifconfig are just link-local addresses; any IPv6-capable machine
           will autogenerate these, whether or not it's connected to an IPv6

ICANN, which is charged with ensuring the stability of the domain name system define , issued its demand in a letter to VeriSign Friday morning. ICANN is disappointed that VeriSign has not suspended the service despite the widespread reports of adverse effects from these changes, ICANN President and CEO Paul Twomey said in a statement Friday. Although ICANN takes this step reluctantly, we are left with no choice but to enforce the provisions of our contract with VeriSign. While VeriSign maintains that the Internet has not been affected by the service, which is essentially a redirect service for end users who misspell a Web site address or email address, the company said it would comply. Without so much as a hearing, ICANN today formally asked us to shut down the Site Finder service. We will accede to the request while we explore all of our options, said Russell Lewis, executive vice president of VeriSigns Naming and Directory Services Group. During the more than two weeks that Site Finder has been operational, there is no data to indicate that the core operation of the Domain Name System or stability of the Internet has been adversely affected. ICANN is using anecdotal and isolated issues to attempt to regulate non-registry services, but in the interests of further working with the technical community we will temporarily suspend Site Finder. The Site Finder saga began when the service went into effect on Sept. In the past, a Page Not Found or email bounce from the senders ISP would have been the result. With the Site Finder service, errors now go to VeriSigns Site Finder Web page, a click-per-view search engine that programmers claim gathers personal information. The Site Finder page has become one of the more heavily traveled sites on the Web because of the service. ICANN said the wildcard VeriSign deployed has adversely affected anti-spam software, email deliveries, and core DNS operations, as well as raised privacy concerns. Lewis, on the other hand said this raises the issue as to whether innovation on the Internet will continue, or be stifled. The next several weeks will be a test as to whether innovation will occur within the Internet infrastructure, he said. The fact is that while the Internet has been used for innovative purposes over the last decade, the core infrastructure has suffered from a lack of innovation. VeriSign will argue vigorously for innovation because it not only improves the Internet user experience but has implications for the vitality of the DNS system and economic competitiveness and job growth. He also noted that the Site Finder service has been used more than 40 million times since its debut, adding that it had been well received by millions of Internet users who appreciate getting navigation tools as opposed to the dead end of an error message.
