Register your own .mil Domain

Posted by CmdrTaco on Sunday January 26, 2003 @03:39AM from the someone-should-register-paper.mil dept.

JWSmythe writes " As reported in This Story at theregister.co.uk ,and on dailyrotten.com, it seems the US Department of Defense has dropped the ball. Not only can you register a .mil domain, but you can find "secret" domains that aren't publically known (the gov't uses security through obscurity?). I'm looking forward to hacker.mil, warez.mil, and porn.mil."

  And what kind of proof did you have to show to prove you were a military organization?
  I think if you show up at the registrar's door with guns, then he'll accept that you deserve a .mil domain.

The Department of Homeland Security will now be starting a file on anyone who uses Google.
DARPA will be settting up a special project to coordinate the information. In keeping with its hiring policies the Bush administartion will give the post to a senior military official from a prior administration.

Now with all the linking on slashdot to .mil sites, I can see the military thinking it's a huge DDOS terrorist attack!

Now repeat after me...I will not slashdot military websites...:)

Anyone want to bet how much jail time they'll get?

Anyone want to bet whether the military can find the offender? Oh, they can probably find which country it was done from. Does anybody want to call the responsible person a terrorist and start a war against the country?

> Anyone want to bet how much jail time they'll get?

Probably none at all. This seems like one of those special "extra-constitutional" areas where someone just disappears and winds up in Git-Mo (Guantanamo Bay). Perhaps "volunteering" their time being chased through the jungle with sensors attached so that 'American Army II' will be even more realistic. :-)

You think that NataliePortman.mil is funny, wait till you see 270 pounds of 5'8" nerd huffing and puffing his way through the jungles of Cuba with the Marines in hot pursuit. :-) That would be great.

In order to receive that free subscription, you'd need to provide a mailing address or PO Box. Once the military tracks you down, I'm not sure they'd let you read 2600 in prison...
