True just went back and checked my email from August 2010 and there is the notice.

Hello:
As you may have seen, we are making some changes to Dynamic DNS accounts.
Instead of making the changes without notice, we wanted to give all of our
existing customers a heads up and explain why we are making these changes.
What changes are you talking about?
Previously we allowed each Dynamic DNS account to have 5 free hostnames and
you could select them from 88 different domains that we own. Now this will
be limited to 2 free hostnames from 18 DynDNS branded domains.
Also, we are increasing the number of hostnames that come with a DynDNS Pro
upgrade. Previously, each DynDNS Pro upgrade gave you the ability to add 25
additional hostnames. We are increasing that number to 30.
Why are you making these changes?
There are a number of reasons that we thought it was important to make
these changes now.
1. Having 88 free domains to choose from was overwhelming for many of
our new users. By reducing this to 18 it makes it easier for people to get
started.
2. By limiting the free options to the DynDNS branded domains, it helps
grow the awareness of our services. Although we are happy to offer our free
services, we simply ask that you help spread the word to other people who
might find our paid services helpful. We have to pay those bills somehow.
3. Looking at the stats of our users over the past 12 years, we see that
the vast majority of people only use 1 free hostname. Our support team has
seen a lot of confusion caused by the five free hostnames, so when you
combine that with the normal use case, it just made sense. We are allowing
the 2nd hostname for those who need to create a WebHop to access your
hostname. If you are going to need more than 1 or 2 hostnames there's a
good chance you are using us for something important. If that's the case,
we simply ask that you pay $15/yr for the DynDNS Pro upgrade, which
provides a number of other benefits.
4. If you are using our services for business critical needs, you should
consider our Custom DNS service.
What will happen to my current account and hostnames?
Nothing, as long as you keep your hostnames active and up-to-date. If you
allow your account or hostnames to expire, you will have to select from the
new domains instead and will be limited to the 2 free hostnames. To ensure
you aren’t affected by these changes, upgrade to DynDNS Pro for just
$15/yr. Again, there are a number of other benefits to upgrading.
You're just trying to force us to pay you, aren't you?
No, not really. As long as you keep your account active, you won't be
affected by these changes. We would never want to have a user feel like
they were forced to use our services. This does not seem to be a very good
business model to us. You do your part (log into your account or update
your hostname monthly) and we will do ours (continue to offer free Dynamic
DNS services to you).

I got curious so I looked this up.
1. He is Finnish not American so why should he get US research dollars
2. He is a convicted criminal for fraud
As I see it - the security risk increases exponentially with the number of parties involved in a secure communication. So it's a case of the old saying "Three can keep a secret if two are dead."
So the solution is a reputation system ????
How do we get a reputation level for a site ????
Catch 22 here I think.
FYI For those who didn't bother to read the links in the article the proposed systems increase the number of parties involved
For KDE it's in System Settings -> Workspace Appearance -> Cursor Theme
Or are you running Gnome + KDE and can't work out which System Settings is which?
They have done exactly that

I've got the same thing 64bit Firefox running for ages, I even have flash 64bit so what is this news story about again?

KDE 4.anything leaks memory like it's going out of style. Plasma starts out as using ~100 MB, but in days it's over 500 MB, and in weeks, it's measured in GB.
Please learn to read Linux application memory usage correctly.
My KDE desktop has been running constantly for 15 days and the total SYSTEM memory usage is only 585MB ram + 261MB, by your reckoning I should be out of memory and the kernel should be killing random processes.
'scuse me... on my Hardy Heron KDE desktop, right click on the clock in the panel, a dialog appears, click on the "adjust date & time" option, a window comes up asking for password and then on succesfull verification, you are in the KDE control module for date & time where you can specify an ntp server to automatically adjust time with... that's what he wants with the clock in KDE 4.x... it doesn't allow him that freedom... it's gone backwards in functionality...
Say what?
Slackware 13.1 w/KDE 4.4.3 here and I can do the exact same thing.
Maybe if these anti KDE / pro GNOME distro's stopped trying to kill KDE and actually gave the users the full experience you might have something different to say about it.
As for stability this KDE session has been running since May 12, today is the 27th, so 15 days of up time for KDE itself is pretty good.
Interesting that the summary mentions IceTV but fails to mention the exact same problem that DMS had with Telstra over their phonedisc product.
If someone would like to do some serious reading to find out why DMS lost but PDC won that might actually be useful.

I'm sure some actual research would uncover plenty of information of people planning or implementing the use of an aircraft as a weapon.
Is there even a Tungsten mine in Africa?

According to the US government most of it comes from China.
I can't be bothered checking the other minerals but I doubt they are any different.
I tested this over and over the night I observed it.
Just curious but did you test pressing the cruise control up again after it started accelerating seemingly out of control?
Nudging the cruise speed control lever down has no effect until I've done it about 10 times or more.
Toyota default override is 10 times, can be used on a variety of things in the car that have sensors to control how far a button push will take something.
