    Also.. check this out:

    perl -e ' print "GET / HTTP/1.1\nHost: ".chr(160).".com\n\n"; '| nc www.idnnow.com 80

    It looks like they're planning to use framesets
    to keep the 'international' url in the url box while opening the actual site inside a frameset.

    You can see what they're talking about by
    running this command:

    [robert@alpaca robert]$ dig `perl -e 'print chr(160).".com";'` @A.GTLD-SERVERS.NET A

    I tried to paste the output but the comment
    system prevented me saying "too much junk" --
    anyway;

    It seems the article is right. Any .com or .net
    domain containing a non-ascii character is resolved to 198.41.1.35 which reverses to
    www.idnnow.com. My guess is they need to do this
    in order to do http redirects for their customers,
    since nobody will have a broken nameserver able
    to serve these 'international' domains for themselves. .org domains currently don't do this
    but since verisign still runs the actual DNS
    servers that run .org (it seems the 'new' .org
    registry just contracted the actual nameserver
    work right back to them!) maybe it won't be too
    long before we see this on .org as well.

  5. Re:Nothing new on New Batteries Promise 2.5 Times Longer Uptime · · Score: 1

    It's a led acid battery, that's why it's more powerfull. It is indeed in some sort of polymer so that it doesn't leak led acid all over you. Led acid batteries have always been the best sort of battery (we use them to start cars) it's just the fact they they're so dangerous (will burn big holes in clothes and stings if it touches your skin. ) that has limited their use in consumer electronics.
