ICANN Wants $35,000 From Dot-org Wannabes
dipfan writes "ICANN is opening applications for companies or organisations that want to run the non-profit dot-org registry - but has reduced the chances of it being run by a charity by insisting on a $35,000 fee from all bidders. VeriSign gives up the dot-org administration at the end of this year (O happy day!). The Electronic Frontier Foundation has criticised the ICANN decision, saying if ICANN doesn't favor nonprofit groups in its evaluations, then it's unlikely that a nonprofit group will mount a challenge to the established addressing companies that will bid for dot-org."
Maybe they should have applications for who gets to go down to Paramount Studios and beat the holy living fuck out of that shitbag Rick Berman.
I swear to god he's the one responsible for these god-awful re-runs of Star Trek: Voyager.
The last two days it was the episodes where Voyager ends up in 20th century Los Angeles. Pretty fucking convenient. My hypothesis is that those fuckers at Paramount didn't feel like paying for time-traveling borg drones for those episodes, so they just sent the cast off the Paramount lot with some cameras.

Cheap bastards.
