How long will it take for someone to grease the right hands and get a hold of.intranet or.localhost?
This whole scenario seems to only benefit the pockets of ICANN execs. So why wouldn't they start allowing domains that could seriously break stuff if the price was right?
Even if you don't open your internet connection to other users, I recommend including the words "public-wifi" somewhere in your IP address' PTR record if you have access to it.
About 4 or 5 months ago my favorite AIM name was stolen out from under my nose and it was used to create an actual AOL account. I immediately brought this to the attention of AOL, but their stance on my situation was "You must have given your password to someone, and now that it belongs to a paying customer we're not going to do a damn thing".
Now that the problem has been made public, is there anything I can do to get it back?
If it weren't for the fact that you can't register nicks on IRC, I'd like to create a winblowz client that would be almost identical to AOL's AIM. That way even AOL'ers can participate in on the fun!
Wait a min....
Maybe that's not such a good idea....
I'd have a lot of old school IRC'ers VERY pissed at me.;)
CORE (The Internet Council of Registrars) developed a system for the 7 new TLDs where multiple registries can issue domain names. They currently have 90 registries on (5?) different continents waiting for the 7 new TLDs to take effect.
All these components can work together without NSI. CORE proved it.

I've gotten snal mail to my whois contact too. The funny thing is, the last one I got actually has the Network Sollutions logo really small at the bottom of it.
Network Solutions Inc. does not have to be a monopoly. Although, you're right about one thing, someone has to have root authority. However you are mistaken about it being NSI.
IANA has the authority over the root NS system and IANA is the organizational point between the people who own root servers. NSI is simply the registrar for the generic TLDs. The duties of NSI can be shared between several different companies without any major conflicts.
I for one can take on the project all by myself and do a much better job then they are, but it's not my purpose in life to monopolize anything, so I'll leave that to our friend Billy boy.
I wonder if MS has ever tried to buy out Network Solutions?
I would like to take this time to accurately quote this and give credit to the author.
It's long been said that an infinite number of monkeys, pounding away at an infinite number of typewriters, would eventually recreate the works of William Shakespeare. Thanks to the Internet, we now know that this is not true. ~Brandzburg v. Hayes~
That would be fun. When you start allowing people to register their on TLDs, you'll start seeing a lot of one word domains. For example, if I wanted to register the TLD "slashdot", then I can tell you to point your browser to http://slashdot/.
A $.01 tax on an email message would never affect a worthwhile spammer.
I know someone who SPAMs professionally. He literally makes hundreds of thousands of dollars PER DAY! Last I heard he makes approx. $20 per email he sends. What would one cent do to twenty dollars? It defiantly wouldn't put him out of business.
If there weren't so many credulous AOL'ers out there, we wouldn't have this problem.
Well... There's my 2 cents. Can I have my change please?!

Isn't that what happened in South Park the Movie?

From what i've heard, he was forced to waive that right in order to return to GEN POP. Can you imagine 4 years of solitary confinement?

I wonder if they have any good anti-theft devices planned for this car. I'd hate to shell out the dough for this car then never see it again.

The PII System is running Linux as the router for the net connection. The main workstation (PIII 500) is running WinNT from what i've read.

Looks like you got the URL wrong. I found it at:

heh, that would really confuse the AOLers.

If only it were possible. The InterNIC will only allow you to register a domain w/ 26 characters including the ".com".
Besides, they won't register any domain with the work fuck anywhere in it. It's not fair! -- whining like a little bitch now.

It is not wrong. Morally or otherwise, and I'm glad it's hurting. The music industry has raped the public for many years.
I'm glad they're finally getting what they deserve.
