In the internet word, Network Solutions runs some of the root servers, as well as internet domain registration services. They also have some dodgy business practices. One of these is registering domain names if you express interest in one on their WWW site, and then do not register it yourself. This is an interesting business practice that I find dodgy. If they were not a law unto themselves I am sure that this type of activity would be banned…

Finally, SilentBob is a utility that records your soundcard audio allowing whatever is playing to be recorded no matter what. This is useful if you want to keep a copy of a streaming audio programme and they will not allow you to save it.
