I have to change permissions every single time (modular SCSI with devfs) to use my scanner (HP ScanJet IIcx) as normal user.

'geek' is an OpenNIC TLD. See http://www.opennic.unrated.net for details about adding OpenNIC support to your computer, or ask your provider to add support to their name servers.
