kubla2000 writes "Salon has a fascinating article up examining the detritus of the dotcom craze of registering anything and everything as a domain name. This is, by turns, a tragic and hilarious piece... there's an irrisistable pathos to the fact that "FreeRoofTile.com" has expired as well as an urge to take a clue-bat to whoever "thought" to register it in the first place."

    If you think you don't want to see an ad, don't go to a site that makes pays its bills through advertising. What makes you think that you're better than the people who watch the ads? You're not, get the clue. Real world coming up on the right.

    It's all Esther Dyson's fault. She insisted, when she headed ICANN, that there had to be more TLDs, and that whether there should be more TLDs wasn't open to discussion. She was wrong.

    This is really why women need to stay the hell out of men's businesses. They should stick to cooking and cleaning. If they want to start a brownie company then so be it, but stay the FUCK out of the male world bitches.
