    It's also why .us is the only ccTLD that doesn't have .com, .edu, .org subdomains.

    What about .ch .li .ly .sc? There are countless ccTLDs that allow registration at the second level.
    Sorry to burst your bubble.

    We should give the gTLDs to Switzerland. They don't care for US politics and piracy is legal anyways.

    I have no conspiracy, therefore nothing to prove.
    However I'm interested to hear how the Nuclear industry is supposedly suppressing science?

    They are a criminal organisation who trash valuable scientific experiments in pursuit of their half baked hippie ideologies.

    and leading opponents of nuclear have already started warning people that not seeing an impact doesn't mean there wasn't one.

    That's like saying "we can't prove it, but assume we're right."

  16. Re:Stop sending useless emails then. on Europe's Largest IT Company To Ban Internal Email · · Score: 1

    I hate real time communication because I have to wait for the other person to communicate. With email they can take as long as they like and I'll get it once it has been sent. Plus I can skip over anything that isn't relevant. I know it's polite to pretend that you care about someone's weekend etc. But I don't care and email enables me to skip any "gossip" and get to the point.

    Phone calls are the worst I lose count of how any times I've had people go on and on over the phone, just get to the point already. I actually just hang up on people who aren't straight to the point. Some of us have things to do.

    Because facebook allows people to throw virtual sheep.

    Email is my preferred communication tool period. Especially with so many phones supporting it now.
    I can only see email use expanding to more non-technical people.

    I don't care that facebook allows the throwing of virtual sheep. Email is for serious communication.

    What I'm trying to understand now is why they need a copy of a license to start checking about undoing the transfer, when they don't require the copy of the license to initiate it.

    Cost, people want cheap domain registrations and aren't prepared to pay for the extra security of document verification.

    Mobile (cell phone) numbers in Australia are all ten digits and start with. 04 so that number in Australia would be 04354353455 which is of course 1 digit too many. I think it's a typo since anyone trying to fake a phone number would at least use the correct amount of digits.

    It's most certainly theft, and on top of that Godaddy is most certainly liable for civil damages.

    How? If Godaddy received a genuine transfer request then they did the right thing by not blocking it. Registrars are supposed to comply with requests from the domain administrator. If that person has poor security it isn't godaddy's fault.

    In this case it's lucky the domain was moved to an Australian registrar and not China, or Russia. Legal action against the gaining registrar isn't out of the question.
