Kiwi Geeks Seek Domain
Codeine writes "A group of professional Internet engineers and technicians from New Zealand are following the published procedure to obtain the delegation of GEEK.NZ from the NZ Domain Name Commissioner (DNC). If successful, GEEK.NZ would be New Zealand's twelfth second-level domain."
This won't happen, I'm still waiting on the paperwork on GoatMe.nz
Come now, we all know what number 13 must be: SHEEP.NZ ! It's gotta happen.
Sorry, but this story is just too geeky for this time of the morning
Like the rest of the world needs to hear about everytime senator palpatine^H^H^H^H^H^H^H hollings takes a shit?
Send lawyers, guns, and money!
Indeed. I did not know that. That's pretty sick. The stuff you learn by clicking on slashdot links. I thought people who bit heads off chickens were hobo's.

Well why would an Australian site register a New Zealand domain name??
A more accurate second-level domain for these fellas would be peoplewithtoomuchtimeontheirhands.nz, no?

I certainly agree with you though, your submissions were definitely more interesting.

You mean like international waters? Where cowboys wage shootouts and sea captains marry cows? Those poor saps back on land will never know the simple pleasures of a monkey knife fight. <sigh>

Just where is this New Zealand thats getting the geek domain? Is that up on the east cost with all thouse other New states? My geology wasn't very good in school.
And I've found that calling myself a geek doesn't hurt my interaction with the opposite sex at all.
It hasn't helped much either, right? Don't forget that your Real Doll doesn't count.

Here are my thoughts on this SLD (Second Level Domain) proposal: It's unnecessary.
.com domain or any other TLD. This idea is very specialized, hence serves no purpose.
.com/.net/.org domains already.
Hear me out. New Zealand has 3,908,037 people, give or take a few. I seriously doubt there are even 5,000 geeks who would get those domains. No one would pass up an opportunity to aquire
Besides, all my friends from NZ have
I do have a proposal on what type of domains New Zealand government should implement, since the topic came up.
*.holycowmyinternetisslow.nz - for people who are still on 28.8k dialup modems inside of New Zealand
*.udpmatch.nz - for packet kiddies who are looking for a mate
*.neal.nz - will be reserved for Cowboy Neal in case he ever moves there
*.sheep.nz - hot sheep erotic fanfiction
*.cliche.nz - will serve as the domain for humor sites incorporating "beowulf cluster" and "In Soviet Russia" jokes all the time!
*.rom.nz - domain for Romainians who are considering moving to New Zealand to trade ROMS and Emulators for Atari 9600
I'm keeping my fingers crossed for some NZ official to see these suggestions and put them on a fasttrack.
Others are going off over their hypothetical .nz's, here is mine.
