ICANN to Incorporate TLDs Already In-use?

Posted by Cliff on Tuesday March 23, 2004 @03:40PM from the where-do-we-go-we-just-don't-know dept.

An anonymous reader asks: "I recently found an article at cnn.com about ICANN considering new top level domains. Some of the proposed TLDs have already been introduced by YOUCANN such as .xxx and have been available to the public at select registrars such as new.net for quite some time. If ICANN incorporates already existing TLDs how will this impact those who have already registered for domain on these TLDs? What implications does this have and how will the ramifications impact how businesses view and utilize the web?"

URGENT! I'm going to New York City soon and I need to know if there are any computer stores there. I want to buy a laptop during my visit. Is this possible? Has it ever been done?

  Sorry, I don't think so.
  Nobody's ever bought a laptop in New York City.
  You'll have to compile the machine from the source code, which you can download from the city officials.

  There was an Apple store once, about 17 years ago. I remember going there as a little tyke. They're out of business now, though.

  Maybe the other replies are from less addicted Slashdotters, but that's hilarious.
