They always like to fuck up a good thing.

How will this affect you, Larry? It certainly won't affect me or any users I know.

I was worried for a moment this was a regulation story,
Then I got excited because I thought it was an infrastructure story.

Now I could care less because its a naming convention story...

Exactly. That's why I was wondering why Larry was getting so shook up by it. I don't see how it will affect most users at all or how it was "fucking up a good thing".

Just be glad that there is a such thing as DNS and you don't have to remember the IP address to your favorite website.

No My ass didn't get bigger Shirtsbyeric. Toilet Paper used to be 5 inches X 4.5 inches. Then it went to 4.5 X 4.0 inches now it's 4.27 X 4.0 and sometimes smaller yet. It's disgusting to say the very least.

Only Larry Mohr could cite the the history of the dimensions of toilet paper.

Maybe because My Dad worked in the Paper recycling industry for 40 Years. I was raised on Paper.

Larry Mohr

Paper trained?

Typical response from a Bushite. Why am I NOT surprised.

Larry

I'm surprised to learn Larry even USES toilet paper. I thought he used his left hand and saved his right hand for eating at "goat grabs."

Interesting link. I knew the U.S. was behind, but it's striking to see the graph quantify it so clearly. There are things Government just does better.

I don't think this is a bad thing at all. The infrastructure of the Internet can support hundreds of top-level domains other than .com, .net and the others. If some registrar wants to sell .fun, .shop, .asshat, or .pope, and people want that to be their address, why not?

One thing this probably does is make .com even more valuable. The confusion introduced by a bunch of new TLDs will make folks value having a good name in .com.

It will also give the people who parker domains something to do for a few months until all of the domains for companies are bought up and either sold to the company for profit or the company sues for rights to the name.

I wonder if I can make any money off of rogers.cadenhead :9

parker = park.

stupid sausage fingers

Geez, Larry, switch to "Bounty" and get over it.

I just registered it, but it's yours for $50, Larry.

This is a tremendously important mistake. The internet has become probably the strongest unifying force in the world bringing people from different nations into daily conversations, allowing business to operate worldwide, etc. Allowing these other alphabets into the internet also allows the continuation of the divides between cultures. One of our best, most important hopes for the future is now going to be lost to the power structures within the realms of the individual alphabets.
It is also a mistake to give up an advantage in the competition, primarily with China, to be the dominant culture of the world.
Decisions like this one, usually pass unnoticed, are sometimes the ones that determine which visions of the future are realized.
It would have been smart for the members of ICANN to remember, there are a hell of a lot more Chinese, who can all be equipped with computers, than there are of us. Unless you are prepared to begin learning Chinese I think you should express your objections to ICANN and tell them change it back mother fucker!

.dum for the GOPpers?

Sorry folks but "The Holy Ghost.GOD" is taken. If you dislike the old lightening bolt, watch out!

Larry, the paper is not smaller. You ass has gotten much larger. As I already have one dump, we'll leave it like that.

I never understood why they don't use .XXX for porn. It would make it so easy for parents and others to filter what they want to see. Maybe then, Beaver College wouldn't have had to change their name.

You obviously pay no attention to what You buy in the stores Keith204. It is a proven fact that Toilet Paper has shrunk in size just like mayo went from 32 ounces to 30 ounces. No wonder Americans are losing their asses and their fixtures as well. They aren't paying attention to what they buy. Hell if it weren't for those people that go around measuring the amount of gasoline being pumped into Your cars and trucks You wouldn't know if You was being cheated or not.

Larry Mohr

Hell just take clorox for example. They reduced the size from 128 ounces to 96 ounces. If they in fact reduced the water content of the product wouldn't the percentage of Cholide be MORE instead of remaining the same?? These fucking corporations have You a coming and a going. Rip off con artists.

Larry Mohr

You buy in the stores Keith204

IN perhaps only my case wrong!!!

Unfortunately I am still stuck in the hospital. However there is hope for a quick and timely escape.(Hope-Hope-Hope)

Geez, Larry, switch to "Bounty" and get over it.

Double ply, Larry, buy double-ply.

Afterwards you can spend your evenings carefully pulling each double ply sheet
apart and get twice as many sheets per roll.

(Err, in case anyone wondered if I was speaking from personal experience --
No, I do not pull apart double plys. I'm not that desperate to save a buck.)

WTF whats the hold up?? Do You need a transplant or something?? Let Me know if I can donate if that is the case.

Larry Mohr

Good idea Chris I may just take You up on that idear.

Larry Mohr

I never understood why they don't use .XXX for porn.

~TFD Nihilist

Spud can never decide it would be a good idear to ghetto-ise sexual material on the net by banishing it to a specific part of the internet or not.

On the one hand, it would make it easier fer parents to keep their kids from using their PC's fer porn purposes and maybe even out of adult chat sites and away from online predators.

OTOH, it might also be the first step in a giant censorship purge program by Talibaptist types.

You can haff me porn when you remove it from the cold dead fingers of one of my hands.

Boobies is good!

On Topic?

Dot wotever?

Ambivilance is Spud's first reaction.

It's another option being made available and on that level it's okay.

Choice is good too.

Be Well.

The porn industry took that issue to court and they won.

Something about freedom of speech and needing to be regular internet. They would be discriminated.

The truth is they want to trap people and kids on errors to their sites.

Keith--can I ask why you are in the hospital?

MURPHY-Yes

OK-Spinal cord damage from a severely ruptured disc and just after surgery to fix that(failed) a neurological condition just reared it's ugly head. This would have been enough but the body said more. So it added pneumonia and for great measure, when they took blood in the ER you could hold it up and see through it! 4 units of blood later and 4 day of intensive then 10 days isolation due to the ease of infection. Just one more add, From over 270 lbs. to 202lbs when I was shipped to a nursing home.

And befor you ask-Two things-One yes damn it it is true and number Two-Yes it sucks!!!

There is at least one bad thing about this story.

Now malicious sites will be harder to spot.

If you get any malware on your machine, you could have sites with aribic, or chinese domain names popping up, it's only going to make fighting this stuff harder.

Typical response from a Bushite. Why am I NOT surprised.

Larry

I'm not a Bushite I never voted for him, I did vote for Obama though. It was just a joke. I actually blame Cheryl Crow. You set your self up for that one and I thank you for that but you should stop with the myopic Bushite thing it's getting old.

I just wish they would make a browser that would recognize my two most common typos:

ww. = www.

, = .

that means: ww.drudge,com = www.drudge.com

Should be pretty simple, imo.
