  1. CPU/Project name confusion on Trillian Project Release Linux for IA-64 · · Score: 2

    It seems that the people who have replied to this post (and maybe the poster him-/herself as well) are confusing the names of the CPU, called Itanium , and the project porting Linux to it, called Trillian .

  2. Source of translation on Jon Johansen Indicted by the MPA(A) · · Score: 1

    The translation is from Name Policy for .no NORID is the domain registration authority for the .no domain, if you didn't guess that already...

  3. .no domain policiy. on Jon Johansen Indicted by the MPA(A) · · Score: 1

    2. General Rules

    2.1 An organization may only register one domain name for itself.

    2.2 An organization must document it's exsistance to NORID when applying for a domain name. This is normally done by presenting the organization number from the Brønnøysund register (National register of all organizations/corporations).

    2.3 NORID decides whether a registration is to be performed, and whether the registration will be directly under .no or in the geographic nametree or i a category domain. Appeals go to NOK - NORID's complaint department.

    3. Who may apply

    3.1 The applicant must represent or be a member of an organization registered as such in Norway, see section 2.2. Normally it's required that the applicant presents an organization number registered in the Brønnøysund register for the organization. Registration of domains for sub-levels of the organization are not allowed.

    3.2 The registered address of the organization must be in Norway, or on Svalbard.

    3.3 Individuals may not register domain names directly under .no. Individuals must register a domain under the category domain priv.no, which is administered by EUnet Norway.

    I hope this explains why the domain is registered to Micro Media ADB and not Jon Johansen's father.

    It's worth metioning that there are loads of dummy organizations solely registered in order to get funny domain names. Examples from the top of my head, and what they translate to are:

    • inni.no: inside something
    • eller.no: or something
    • ikke.no: nothing
