Currently working on C++/CLI in Action for Manning Publications.Sorry, I was still in my own semi-real world when I wrote that.... D&D = Dungeons And Dragons, a role playing game, and d8 = 8 sided die. Normal dice are d6's. Also, d4, d6, d8, d10, d20, d% (2x d10s), and last but not least - d2, a coin. Don't worry about not getting that - I was just being amused at my inner geek. Due to unpredictable work commitments, I haven't played in almost a decade... Iain.

That's alright. I just read an article yesterday, they're already talking about Web 3.0. Quick! Marc Pensieve Some people believe what the bible says. Literally. At least [with Wikipedia] you have the chance to correct the wiki -- Jörgen Sigvardsson

You don't think the phrase is a bit too unoriginal to trade/service/sign mark? It's not like LinuxWorld or Microsoft. regards, Paul Watson Ireland FeedHenry needs you
eh, stop bugging me about it, give it a couple of days, see what happens.

hmm true in a sense but it isn't a composite like Web 2.0 is. There is no chance they can get Web or 2.0 as marks and the combination is dubious at best. regards, Paul Watson Ireland FeedHenry needs you

Oh okay, and I've never heard of Dungeons and Dragons either - am guessing it's a computer game or a TV show. Regards, Nish

Currently working on C++/CLI in Action for Manning Publications.Dungeons and Dragons according to Wikipedia[^] and the official page.[^] It most definitley is not a TV thing. It is a role playing board game system. Very cool if a bit... uhh... geeky. regards, Paul Watson Ireland FeedHenry needs you

With O'Reilly but surely that is not the only basis for marks. regards, Paul Watson Ireland FeedHenry needs you

Good. So can we all stop calling it Web 2.0 now? cheers, Chris Maunder

how about Web 2.1 - must be due for a minor revision release by now. And it'll be wonderful once we get to version 3.0 - or 3.1, 3.11 then we could have the 95 and 98 editions - strange feeling of deja vu - never mind I am sure it'll go away.
I'll be more enthusiastic about encouraging thinking outside the box when there's evidence of any thinking going on inside it. - pTerry

no. but if they sucessfully registered it, and are defending it (which is required), they have it until a court takes it away. http://www.cummingsdesign.com/trademarks_service_marks.htm[^] Cleek | Image Toolkits | Thumbnail maker

It is daft and irritating and I'll bet a pint that Tim had nothing to do with it. I made some t-shirts[^] to commemorate the moment (I am going to the conference that is being targeted by the letter. It is just down the road and I've met the IT@Cork lads before.) regards, Paul Watson Ireland FeedHenry needs you

What is an interesting thing is that someone announces on the blog[^] that the story hit slashdot and the quality of the comments goes straight into the gutter. I think that says a lot about the people that frequent slashdot.
