Latest UDRP Stupidity: Unix.org, Canadian.biz
The Uniform Dispute Resolution Procedure, an expedited process for allowing corporations to steal domain names, continues to be abused as arbitrators stretch the definitions of "cyber-squatting" to any length in order to find for the corporate complainants. Lunenburg writes "Unix.Org, a site that was apparently used for noncommercial discussion of Unix(tm) operating systems, has been ruled a "cybersquatter" by a WIPO panel and given to the X/Open group. In spite of not actually matching any cybersquatting criteria, a WIPO panelist felt that by providing links to commercial sites, Unix.ORG was acting in "bad faith" and thus should be given over to the Open group." And WEFUNK writes "Exploiting an obvious technical error to help build their case, Molson Inc. has been awarded the seemingly generic canadian.biz domain from the original owner who "registered this name because I am Canadian and want to develop a Canadian business directory" and is now appealing to the courts." John Gilmore has a bit of commentary.

What's up, Doc?
Why do I keep receiving emails from an individual calling himself CmdrTaco?
Mr. Malda seems to be speaking in some sort of code. Do you know what it means?
Good Lord. And, yes, he did. What is Taco-snotting?
Ewwwwww. So, can I stop receiving these emails?
I cant stop receiving these emails from CmdrTaco!?
Have you ever been Taco-snotted?
That is so disgusting! How did you finally escape?
Thats horrible. Does Taco-snotting have anything to do with CmdrTacos special taco?
Does Jon Katz get involved in any of this? I thought he was a pdophile, not a homosexual.
Are you getting hard writing this?
No, thanks. Im already CmdrTacos boi toi.

Rest in Peace, The WIPO Troll...
English is spoken by more people on the planet than any other language. (Before the flames: Not necessarily as a first language.) It is the language which politics, coincidence, and synchronicity has placed at the base of the Internet. I don't see why an English word is a priori wrong, and I certainly don't understand what you imagine to use in place of it.
On the other hand, the Vatican just had all its ATM machines reworded into Latin, so...
