Fairly Symmetrical

Every time I read another story about Verisign, I think that surely this time the company has hit rock bottom. Turns out the tiny, uber-cynical portion of me is actually still correct: they haven't. Now they're demanding that a professor at the UCLA Law School send them a copy of a utility bill to prove that the Law School's mailing address is valid, even though Volokh sent them a copy of the listing in the American Association of Law Schools Directory of Law Teachers.

Oh, in a similar vein I forgot to post last week that, in another wonderful display of their technological savvy, it appears Network Solutions/Verisign forgot to reregister their own (UK) domain name in August, and someone sniped it out from under them. As of this writing, there's a mildly humorous Flash audio bit attached, so stay a moment and listen.
