.us Domains Coming in 2002

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the insert-witty-ends-with-us-joke-here dept.

marnanel writes "Perhaps it had to happen eventually: the .us top-level domain has been transferred to a private company, NeuStar. One of the most interesting effects of this is that second-level domains, such as foo.us, will be available for the first time, instead of the existing hierarchical county.state.us system." But not until mid 2002.

      I prefer http://synflood.at/tack/ :)) (yes, _I_ reserved the domain synflood.at already).

      nonetheless, it would be wonderful to control the 'to.us' domain...
      • come.to.us
      • complain.to.us
      • give.your.money.to.us

      kinda like if you remember when NSI wouldn't let people register domains with swears in them... (like the "f" word), so someone registered .off.com.....

      I'm just wondering what lucky porn site is gonna get fuck.us

    Europe invented America, so I don't want to hear any more noise from the colonies. Shut up and keep bringing us our cotton, tobacco and oil.

    Why do users with IDs under 100,000 or over 700,000 usually have the most worthwhile comments?
