Verisign Typosquatter Explorer

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the something-to-think-about dept.

jelyon quotes Seth Finkelstein's website "I have written a program " Verisign Typosquatter Explorer" in order to examine [the Verisign] suggestions [for mistyped domains]. Future data may be analyzed as interest permits. Note tests with some domains seem to return results which are not constant, i.e. differences when the program is run repeatedly. This is not a program bug. Reloading the Verisign page also changes which squat-suggested domains are displayed. I don't believe it's an advertising rotation, but the behavior is similar to that practice."

    Remember folks, if you're going to write and complain, try and keep it civil.

    I'm sure the goatse.cx dude is a very civil person.

    Anybody else feel like you just want to start over, with only good people involved, and remake the internet? None of this patent crap, none of this copyright bullshit, just pure standards that are actual standards. Uncompromised and pure. No restrictions on data, short of the physical line speeds.

    Actually, yes, I do... but remember what happened in that movie with the guy from Titanic? I think it was called the 'Beach' or something... and like... they had like a friggin utopia and stuf... and like... and like the guy went crazy... and then people started dying in the fields of pot and stuff... and then there was this chick with braces, and there were some nice tits and stuff, and then the sharks started to bite people... man... it was cool until he went crazy and shit...

    ... what was I saying? Oh yeah, yeah, utopias never work out and shit... the MPAA told me so.

    Do away with the physical line speeds too and you've got Internet2...at least until it goes public one day.

    Yeah.. 983 Megabits per second. You could have your computer online for approximately 7 minutes before your harddrive is completely packed with all the spam that would come in.

    No. No meta topics or anything even smelling like it was close to something in the vicinity of the ballpark of a meta topic.

    I must say that the Seth Fakelstein troll was funnily on point this time.
