Roku shipped their HD1000 "Photobridge" video playing STB several years before Netflix introduced their streaming product. I know it was able to display 1080P MPEG transport streams at the very least.

Most people don't know that the USCG has never needed a reason to board and search any boat within US waters, or any US flagged boat anywhere in the world.

In 1994, it was the first to register. As registration was a manual process requiring human intervention, errors were made.

I remember receiving other registrants' confirmation emails on more than one occasion and had to email back the person at "hostmaster@internic.net" to have them take my NIC handle off of the domain and return control of the rightful owner.

In 1994, .com domains were free. They didn't charge for .com domains until several years after this.

When they changed to a fee-based model, Network Solutions inherited the mgmt contract from InterNIC and charged $50/yr at first and then lowered the price to $35 (which then was lowered again when multiple registrars were allowed access to the NIC db).

playnow.com is a gambling website operating in Canada but registered in the US through Verisign/Netsol. The only difference in this case is the BC gov't owns and operates playnow.com. I wonder if the US will seize this domain name too because gambling is illegal in the US?

Many companies have used private and/or secret channels on efnet for decades without complaint.

At no cost you could connect to the channel with IRCII (or pick any other logging bot/client), activate logging and write a shell script to pull the logs into a website at midnight every day.
