Example.com Has Changed

Posted by timothy on from the foo-baz-is-now-frum-burz dept.

An anonymous reader writes "The familiar example.com domain, reserved for private testing, has been updated. Visiting the domain in a web browser no longer displays any content; instead, visitors are redirected to an explanatory page on IANA's website at iana.org/domains/example/. Other example domains such as example.net are also affected. Is this a bad change? Will the redirect cause problems for anybody?"

    Really? This qualifies as news for nerds, news that matters?

    I'm hard pressed to think of anything that's been posted on /. that mattered less.
