.us Domains Coming in 2002
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.
Just Trolling For Teryl Rothery
NEW BEDFORD, Massachusetts (Reuters) -- Three students from New Bedford, Massachusetts, were being held Sunday, charged with planning a deadly assault on their high school that they promised would be "bigger than Columbine," police said.
In a plan that echoed the 1999 Columbine High School massacre in Littleton, Colorado, the three planned to detonate a bomb and then gun down teachers and students as they fled the school before shooting themselves, police said.
A letter outlining the plot was found by a school janitor, police said.
Three juveniles, including one identified by police as a 17-year-old, were to be arraigned Monday, a New Bedford police sergeant who did not give his name told Reuters.
Police started investigating the plot last month after a student told a teacher of rumors that an assault was planned, New Bedford Police Chief Arthur Kelly was quoted as saying by The Boston Globe.
"The verbal threats brought up Columbine, that it will be bigger than Columbine," Kelly told the Globe.
Police searched the students' homes and found bomb-making directions, shotgun shells, knives and a flare gun. They also found photographs of at least one of them with weapons, the newspaper reported.
The 17-year-old boy is being held on $10,000 cash bail, and the two other boys were being held on $5,000 bail each, the Globe reported. They face charges of conspiracy to commit murder, conspiracy to commit assault and battery with a dangerous weapon and possession of ammunition.
On April 20, 1999, two students armed with assault weapons killed 12 students, one teacher and themselves at Columbine High School in one of the worst instances of school violence in U.S. history.

If you don't like it, why not create your own internetwork and your own DNS? I'm sure that the urotrash^H^H^H^H^Hpean Solidarity Movement -- you know, the shadowy foppish uro-cabal behind such bright ideas as the uro, the urofighter, and Canada -- already has one planned, and it's probably based on .NETbeui. *snicker*
(Of course, every time that someone brings this up, the International Nonsense Moderation Squad mods him into oblivion. I'm prepared.)

And even if it were located in Switzerland, urope is pretty much just the 51st State of America! We're just too ashamed to let you attend Congress.

(I don't know, do you think that the gratuitous urotrash-bashing overdid it? If I had just posted the first paragraph by itself, I would've gotten at least two more replies pointing me to CERN webpages.)
