Comment Re:Will D.C. be next? (Score 1) 934

Almost got it.

There are a number of licensed gun dealers engaged in retail sales "in the greater D.C. area". They are in Maryland and Virginia, not the District of Columbia.

There are almost no licensed gun dealers in the District of Columbia itself. A D.C. resident would be crossing state lines to buy a firearm in Maryland or Virginia. Most D.C. dealers exist to support government agencies and private security organizations. They do not deal with the general public. Last I heard (a while ago) there was at least one dealer that did not stock inventory or do normal retail sales but would do interstate transfers. There was supposed to be a retail dealer looking for a place of business and having difficulty.

The D.C. dealer situation may have gotten better while I wasbt looking but it is probably still bad. Glad I don't liuve there.

CDN's don't base the DNS server you use as the basis for decided where to serve content, *they base it on the destination IP address (i.e. your computer)* They couldn't use DNS servers simply because large ISP's like AT&T or Comcast all use the same DNS server IP addresses.

Furthermore, how would they ever get the identity of the domain server your system uses during the three-way handshake? If they can, please tell us how. I'd really like to know.

Comment The postal service should just use the photo (Score 2, Insightful) 426

The monument itself is based on a famous photo. The postal service should have bypassed the monument new artwork for the stamp based on the photo.

Did the sculpter pay royalties to Joe Rosenthal the photographer? Or to the AP, which employed him? If not, this is the height of hypocracy.
