.eu Opens for Registration

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the euro-stops-here dept.

jla writes "Today, the .eu top-level domain opens for registration. Handled by EURid, the launch will be divided into two phases: A two-month 'Sunrise,' during which only the holders of certain 'prior rights' will be allowed to register their names, and the following 'Land Rush,' where registrations will be open to everyone. So finally the long-awaited pan-European TLD launches. The big question now is, will EURid's systems be able to handle the load?"

    What would the point be? turning www.bbc.co.uk into www.bbc.co.uk.eu (for example) would serve no point execpt to help people with geography.

    Based on the context of the list, I think it's Swedish. "Ram" means "frame" in Swedish, and "sex" is the number six.

    I love Swedish. Another fun word in Swedish is "fart", which means "speed" (as in "fartlek", which is an exercise for runners). So in Sweden, schoolchildren can legitimately go around saying "fart" and "sex" all day.
