CentralNic Enables uk.com Wildcard DNS

    No, because we read the article.

    OK, slashmods - are you so terminally dense that I have to put a pseudotag on a comment in order for you to understand that it is a JOKE?

    The last line was insufficient for you?

    slashdot.org - News for Nerds. Stuff that matters.

    And a private subdomain is a very very big matter!

    ``They should be enforced''

    Out of interest, why have you used the apostrophie character to create a double quote instead of using the double quote character? It really annoys me when people do this because if you have to use the text, you have to change them all to avoid looking like an idiot that can't find the " key. They also look really ugly.

    What's wrong the real double quote character (")?
