"A new search engine for programmers promises to alleviate that problem by
making it easier to find and share code. That in turn could increase
programmers' productivity and give a fresh boost to the open-source
movement."  Krugle is due to release next month.

This illustrates the point that you have to
DOUBLE CHECK the domain name(s) you
register to be sure they won't be read
differently than you had planned...
When you register your domain name ... be careful

If you don't you could end up like ...

"Who Represents?", a database of agencies for the rich and famous...

Experts Exchange, a knowledge base where
programmers can exchange advice and views...

HOUSE COMMITTEE TO NIX PLANS FOR 'NETWORK NEUTRALITY' CLAUSE
In a major blow to Internet firms such as Amazon.com and Google, the
House Commerce Committee expects to scrap plans for "network
neutrality" safeguards in forthcoming telecommunications legislation,
sources say. Instead, the committee will apparently move a
streamlined video franchising bill sought by AT&T and Verizon
Communications, which are deploying video services that will compete
with cable companies. The network neutrality provisions face the
chopping block for several reasons. There are not enough days left in
the congressional session to reach agreement, sources said. And some
committee members think net neutrality should be addressed by the
FCC, although the agency's authority in that area is unclear. Instead
of a comprehensive bill, the committee now is expected to adopt
Verizon's idea for a streamlined telecom measure primarily addressing
video franchising. The bill would place new video competitors under
FCC authority when they enter markets. New entrants would pay
franchise fees and fulfill other obligations but would not negotiate
with localities. Once a new entrant has reached a threshold of 15
percent market penetration, the dominant cable provider would be
subject to the same deregulation. The measure could be debated in
March by the House Telecommunications and the Internet Subcommittee.
The streamlined bill also would include language requiring providers
of Internet telephone service to offer "enhanced 911" emergency
service, sources said.
