Re:Dot US
When will the United States finally have to act like everybody else and use ".us" for sites hosted in the country? I'm sure Microsoft and Netscape would just autocomplete that part, like they do with "http://".
It's not mandatory to use the two-letter country suffixes for non-US sites. For example, jungle.co.uk (an online retailer of computer goods and so on) is just a re-direct to jungle.com, even though they do business exclusively in the UK.
Also, the
.US domain has recently been opened up to general use. It's available from a number of different registrars, for example here and here and here, to name a few.Regarding auto-completing parts of URLs, note that the "http" protocol is universal to web sites. (Well, if you count https, but anybody using that for an entire site will have an unencrypted redirect page if they have the first clue what they're doing.) It is interesting, though, to try different browsers with just random words typed into the location bar. Internet Explorer, for example, will interpret "foobar" as a search term and direct you to a MicroSoft owned search engine where it will search for foobar. Phoenix (and most likely NS7, Beonex, and their common progenitor Mozilla) will assume that you meant http://www.foobar.com/ and send you there.

Alldomains
I've had good experiences with http://www.alldomains.com. They're cheap, and have pretty much exactly what you're looking for. Check out their 'd-gear' package - only about $25 per year.
I used this for about 2 years, but now I run my own servers instead so it wasn't necessary. -
WIPO was rightTo anyone who stops drinking their beverage-of-choice because of a single article in the media (yes, I consider jamie's article "anti-establishment propaganda"), I say you should research things a little more before committing to action. Think for yourself.
To anyone who thinks they have a right to do anything that the underlying technology will allow (like register the "guinness.net" domain), bear in mind that Aurthur Guinness was brewing and selling beer 17 years before the Colonies' Declaration of Independence. Guiness was operating before the First Amendement was even conceived. That leaves a long history of use under common law. If you haven't figured it out yet, WIPO is building upon that precedent. Common law is case law. You may not like the fact that no freely elected legislature scripted a law that a court enforces. In that case, file a lawsuit and take it to the Supreme Court.
To anyone who thinks the "Diaego plc v. John Zuccarini" is the archtype of "The Bad Corporation v. The Soverign Individual", I say you should find better examples. The case description says that Zuccarini:
- used the misspelled domain names like "guinnes.com" to get people to see his ads.
- traps users in his websites.
- has
...approximately 3000 domain name registrations allegedly held by [Zuccarini] (either individually or by entities such as Cupcake City, Cupcake Shows, Cupcakes, Cupcake Party, Cupcake-Patrols, Cupcake Movies, and Cupcake-Show, all of which are controlled by Respondent) - has
...click-based revenue now approach[ing] $1 million per year. - neglected to respond to any correspondence from the Arbitration and Mediation Center.
To jamie, I say you could find a better case in "The Bad Franchise vs. The Individual's Right to Free Speech" if you studied the ongoing saga of corinthians.com. One man uses that domain to promote the Book of Corinthians (as in "The Bible"). But the "Corinthians Futball Team" is taking it through arbitration. Please get to the bottom of this matter and enlighten us.
Remember the WTO riots in Seattle? I read a first-hand account describing how looters and rioters caused damage while using the protestors as cover. Don't let Zuccarini hide behind legitimate free speech issues. (Unless you are an anarchist. In that case, feel free to create a little entropy by spilling bong water in the keyboard! [woo hoo!])
Has anyone registered " john-zuccarini-sucks.com" yet? Or maybe that would not be fair use...
- boli
P.S. Yea, I know. "boli-sucks.com" blah blah blah
P.P.S. One more thing: If you want liberty, vote libertarian next Tuesday. - used the misspelled domain names like "guinnes.com" to get people to see his ads.

Re:What's next?
.ms already belongs to the country of Montserrat. Adamsnames controls the tc, vg, ms, gs, and tf domains. In fact, every two letter TLD is reserved for new countries.
