    The name game

    Who owns trademark names on the Net?
    BRIAN CIMINS thought the Internet represented a wonderful opportunity to make money. The 19-year-old student found a whole slew of companies that hadn't yet registered their domain names, and he registered them. That's when he discovered a new problem confronting the Internet: Who owns the names?

    Dying '60s radical Leary organizing his own dropout on-line
    Timothy Leary's dead -- Power up. Sign on. Query Leary while he gets ready to log off -- or, if he goes the cryonics route, gets ready to reboot.

    Timothy Leary, the '60s drug guru-cum-'90s-cybernaut is, in fact, dying of inoperable prostate cancer. And he's devoted enormous time and energy to planning exactly which way he's going to go in a ``directed de-animation.''

    The event was hosted at http://leary.com. Leary didn't discuss the method but there was champagne, caviar and friends ``at my little party.''

    Leary says wanted to remove the taboos associated with death. His choice to direct it, he said, was a matter of dying with dignity -- even elegance.

    Said Ginsberg: ``Historically, I think he'll go down as a great and noble spirit who successfully defined the conditions for the psychedelic experience . . . and was persecuted in jail in his role as a martyr to progress.''

    Ginsberg paused a beat. Perhaps Leary hasn't been a martyr, he said, but instead has ``de-fanged martyrdom.''
