Internationalized Domain Names Coming Soon
rduke15 writes "You think you know how to parse a domain name for validity? Well, in case you haven't noticed, things are getting tougher as registrars keep adopting IDN (Internationalized Domain Names), which uses a weird encoding named Punycode to enable accented characters in domain names. The Register reports about Switzerland, Germany and Austria's joint move to enable IDN. See the overview in English from Switch. But I guess it would be difficult to talk about this on /., since it does not even support basic Latin-1 ... :-)"

Ground Control to Yoda Doll
Take your ass grease pills and put your helmet on
Ground Control to Yoda Doll
Commencing countdown, engines on
Check ignition and may God's love shove up you
Ten, Nine, Eight, Seven, Six, Five, Four, Three, Two, One, Shove Up
This is Ground Control to Yoda Doll
You've really made the grade
And the papers want to know whose butts you tear
Now it's time to leave the suppository if you dare
"This is Yoda Doll to Ground Control
I'm stepping through the door
And I'm stinking in a most peculiar way
And the ass look very different today
For here am I sitting in an ass can
Far inside the butt
My face is turning blue
And there's nothing I can do
Though I'm past one hundred thousand bowels
I'm feeling very still
And I think my buttship knows which way to go
Tell my wife I ream her very much, she knows"

Your circuit's dead, there's something wrong
Can you hear me, Yoda Doll?
Can you hear me, Yoda Doll?
Can you hear me, Yoda Doll?
Can you....
"Here am I floating in my ass can
Far inside his Moon
My face is turning blue
And there's nothing I can do."
That's not flamebait, dammit. That's funny shit.
Wish I had mod points.
I give it a day before we're deluged with emails asking to send credit card numbers to a paypal.com site or domain registration renewal notices linking to networksolutions.com.

Did you not read the Do No Click Here???? Hey, Don't click here or Here
Never. ;) Actually, it's not so much the Holocaust that the g'parent was mentioning - more respect for Germany's war abilities, like winning a war with France as soon as it even existed as a unified nation. ;)
Americans are just tweaked at france cuz it didn't fall in line like Britain did.
Not the case - if that were true, you wouldn't find a littany of France jokes before 2001. But you do, because France has been a military joke for the last 200 years, approx. It's also the massive ingratitude following WWII displayed by France that tweaked Americans, combined with France's complete military ineptitude.
It's not France's not supporting the war that angers Americans so, at least me. It's the fact that they were more interested in playing politics simply to get revenge with America for some perceived slight, which prompted the move they made. That and France was trying to become a friend of Sadaam, trying to get sanctions lifted so they could trade with Sadaam, etc. I truly think that with France's support early on, the whole scenario could and would have been resolved without a war.
On the other hand, most american folks are OK with Japan these days... odd
I would say it's the way that Japan, in the wake of getting nuked, turned into a very peaceful, hard-working society. Hard not to respect that a bit.
