No, not an angry rant about proper gTLD usage.  Instead, this is more of a Public Service Announcement: silenceisdefeat, my favorite provider of life-long free shell accounts, has had their domain name taken hostage.  silenceisdefeat.org now redirects to an ebay auction for the domain name.  As a result, they can now be found at:<br/><br/><a href="http://silenceisdefeat.com">http://silenceisdefeat.com</a><br/><br/>I have updated my previous link to their site (in <a href="http://stringofbits.net/2008/12/paranoid-security-establishing-a-connection-the-hard-way/">this article</a>) to reflect the change as well.
