EU Claims Internet Could Fall Apart Next Month
freaktheclown writes "The battle for the control of the Internet could hit a climax next month, with the EU saying that it could 'fall apart.' From the article: 'The European commission is warning that if a deal cannot be reached at a meeting in Tunisia next month the Internet will split apart. At issue is the role of the US government in overseeing the Internet's address structure, called the domain name system (DNS), which enables communication between the world's computers. It is managed by the California-based, not-for-profit Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) under contract to the US Department of Commerce.'"
Man, I made the same joke the other day on the first article about this, and I got modded down flamebait. :P

Give him/her a break, they are probably from Florida ;-).
Life is like a box of chocolates, you never know when your gonna get food poisoning.
Wow, a predictable fiasco eh? I bet that can't be said of EVERY OTHER WAR!!!!!
Of course, i'm not sure why I would even need to prove my point considering your username. It seems to me that all the people against the war are either not from the US, or are the same people that want to disarm us anyway (which is part of the democratic platform). In my opinion, anyone who has done their research would not be against the war.
This is all getting very off topic though, if you care to take it further, e-mail me or something...
Really? List one, genuine, positive outcome of this clusterfuck which is not wholly cancelled by the negative ones, either for Iraq or for struggle against terrorist extermists. And no, you can skip both the the "democracy" bullshit (as they are set for a Burka-loving Islamic Republic/civil war combo) as well as the "Saddam killed/tortured people" crap as the US is doing admirably in both of these catagories.

That is precisely why "pre-emptive" wars are pursued only by villains or complete imbeciles.

Looking for easy ways out, aren't we?

Experiencing an out-of-control band of idiots at the helm of a powerful military does that to people. And there is nothing to be proud of claiming that all the ignorant morons are your citizens (falsely actually, but thats par for the course for the likes of you).

Research?! The pre-condition of this whole fuckup was fabricating intelligence and propagandizing neo-con fantasies. Anyone who has done any research was against the war, covnersly only those who despise reasearch and knowledge and who are instead wholly based in make-believe never-never lands of apocalyptic "evil versus good" crusades were for the war. And now he has the audacity to speak of "research", trying to project his utter denial of reality onto others.

Ah, yes the classic "I will have the last word, rebutt me where noone can see it" trick. You must think me new to this online forum gig. It isn't happening. You brought this into this public discussion, I will follow where it leads.
And for all practical purpose in this context, EU should be considered as a whole entity.
