Kid-Safe Domain Created

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the virtual-sandboxes dept.

Jadecristal writes "The Washington Post announces that President Bush has signed legislation to create a .kids.us domain. The legislation mandates that those with a .kids.us site not be allowed to link to any site outside the .kids.us domain." At the very least, it makes filtering easy.

    It would be much more sensible to create a domain of non-kid-"safe" content.

    I propose we call it .com

    .. if you want to register goatse.kids.us ...

    Now GW can have a whole TLD aimed at his reading level!

    Bar and George must be very proud.

    Mods - please don't mod this up, Dubya can only count to 3.

    Yup, easy filtering. Now I have a way to filter out some of those stupid kid's sites that are keeping me from finding more porno.

    Isn't .ca the TLD for California? I thought Canada was .ca.uk, or .ca.fr, or something.

    Any sufficiently well-organized community is indistinguishable from Government.

    So any site under kids.us is safe for kids. Sites are only safe for kids if they're under kids.us. Why not just create a whitelist of kids-safe sites. In order to get on the list, you must not link to sites that aren't on the whitelist.

    Works out the same, but eliminates the cost of the domain to the website owner.

    Well, the computational complexity of your solution is O(n) in space, whereas Bush's solution is O(1) space.

    Looks like George W. Bush is a better software engineer than you are!
