uk.co Domains Knocked Offline By Registrar Dispute

An anonymous reader writes "The .uk.co domain was wiped off the face of the Internet this morning with no notice, leaving more than 8,000 livid individuals and businesses - including Amazon and Priceline - with no Web presence or email. I saw this on nvnews.net, which originally came from the register, but since the domain is wiped out, you can no longer reach the article." Actually, you can read the story fine on theregister.co.uk. ;)

    I just heard some sad news on talk radio - Horror/Sci Fi writer Stephen King was found dead in his Maine home this morning. There weren't any more details. I'm sure everyone in the Slashdot community will miss him - even if you didn't enjoy his work, there's no denying his contributions to popular culture. Truly an American icon.

    A pissing match is something homosexuals do in the shower after gym class. They pinch the end of their dicks and release their bladders, creating a build-up of urine pressure held in with their fingers. They then run around the showers chasing each other, releasing the pressure whenever they feel they have a good shot and try to piss in each other's faces. The winner is the last one left and all the loser's have to suck his dick. Cmdr Taco is the reigning world champion for 7 years running.

  9. Ahh... just like my old freemail address... POOF! by The_Dougster · · Score: 0, Offtopic
    I had this spiffy engineer.com email address hosted by first iname.com and then subsequently mail.com. Well, some while ago I noticed that I hadn't gotten any email for a while. So I sent a test email message to myself which subsequently vanished. No "undeliverable" error, nothing... black hole.

    It turns out that mail.com had sold engineer.com to somebody, and that was that. I don't know how many freemailer's lost their email address because of that, but it must have been more than a few. Heck, engineer.com is still probably getting spam from all those online sweepstakes sites that I signed up with way back then, hehehe...

    What was annoying was the absolute lack of warning. Yes, the mail.com agreement stated subject to termination without advance warning but I honestly didn't expect them to actually play that trump card. Well, live and learn.

  11. Sig Readme by The_Dougster · · Score: -1, Offtopic
    I'm gonna can this sig because it won't display on /. properly. It harken's back to ANSI BBS days, which the Linux console, xterm, and gnome-terminal all handle nicely. I want this to get out because I just see too many boring gray $ prompts.

    You are supposed to get a nice colorized version of this:

    <9>(thunder)[/home/doug]
    $

    The slashdot sig processor munges the line, but by ecode'ing it it, here it is: (should be 2 lines)

    PS1='\[ESC[1;30m\]<\[ESC[35m\]\#\[ESC[30m\]>(\[ESC [36m\]\h\[ESC[30m\])[\[ESC[34m\]`pwd`\[ESC[30m\]]\ [ESC[32m\]
    $\[ESC[0m\] '
    Of course you need a real ESC character or you can stick in the octal code \033 also. You can generate an ESC in vim by pressing [CTRL]-v and then [ESC] (hereafer referred to [CTRL]-v [ESC]). If you open your .bashrc or .bash_profile respectively, paste this in, and issue the command...
    :g/ESC/s//[CTRL]-v [ESC]/g
    ... it will hopefully stick ESC chars in instead of the ESC string. Then just:
    $ source .bashrc
    and you should get the expected results.

    Religion breeds terrorism.

    WTF kind of sig is that? If it were "Islam breeds terrorism" you would be labeled as a bigot. Using the even broader word "Religion" just makes you an even bigger bigot. Time for a new sig, my friend.

    Show me one religion that hasn't used terrorism as a tactic in all its history. Just one.

    And, assuming you were going to do this, before you jump in and say Christianity, allow me to point out that you're supposed to love and "fear" God, and you're supposed to "fear" Satan and the hellfire and damnation that comes with him.

    I'd go even further and say:

    if(religion == terrorism) {
    delete religion; // terrorism will follow
    } else {
    // user probably doesn't live in the real world
    // do nothing here
    };
