  1. .ie domain registry is was very restrictive before by joe545 · · Score: 2, Informative · on Adult .IE Domain Names Banned As Immoral

    You can onl register a personal domain with your initials and two digits after that eg JohnSMith can get js01.ie and he you have to demonstrate a "Real and Substantive Connection" to Ireland. After that companies with Irish links, state agencies, schools and politicians (and a few more categories) can register a domain. So this ban will only affect those who managed to register a company or trademark with an "offensive" name or try to make use of the "Discretionary Name" category. Look here for more details: http://www.domainregistry.ie/RegistrationPolicy.ph p

    Agreed. It should read something like this:

    I guess we should be happy that they don't link to Apple and Microsoft as well ;-)

  5. Check if you're misconfigured (I was) by interiot · · Score: 5, Informative · on W2K and MAC OS9 Flood Root Nameservers?
    Here's a page detailing how to check this in Win2K and OS9. I'm glad I check because I was misconfigured.

    Specifically, if your WinXP advanced DNS settings look like this, then just uncheck that box.

  6. There's no whois for .ie domains anyway by setantae · · Score: 1 · on Are Public WHOIS Records Necessary?

    See http://www.domainregistry.ie/sear ch/ whois.html for their reasons why.
    It does sometimes make dealing with a transfer a bit harder, but that's not necessarily a bad thing.

  7. Closing the stable door... by grarg · · Score: 1 · on U.S. Wants Large Cyberpolicing Powers

    I'd rather not have your laws enforced in my country all the same, pal.

    In terms of enforcing legality of what is already on the Internet, I believe that the US, being responsible for all the .coms, .nets and .orgs has by far the worst record. The amount of vetting that any company has to go through to get a .ie URL (for example) is pretty substantial, but it's consistent, fair and means that there will never be a www.hotchicks.ie or anything similar.

    This problem originated in the US and, short of reclaiming every single .com as their own, there isn't a damn thing they can do about it.
