Well they can do a Netscape (v5) and start skipping version numbers to catch up with Chrome. Anymore version numbers don't mean anything. Some products use the year (Windows 2000), a version number that is not true (Windows 7), or a name that doesn't mean anything (Windows Vista).
IF the internet (mind it IS international in nature, and heavily affected by cost driving factors, same as any other services) should ever "grow up" and force people to give up sex.com, whitehouse.com, etc. then Absolutely, you're right. But with so many domains under each toplevel domain, how do you decide who gets "sex.xxx" ? Is it the guy who owns sex.com, sex.org, or the majority of "sex.country_identifier" domains ?
I just dont see a plausible scenario for this type of transition, certainly not with the current structure, ownership and division of the internet, internet names, trademarks, copyrights etc.
Well, they should not just stop at the.xxx TLD. They should do subdomains, so sex.com gets sex.com.xxx, etc. Then as a transition, allow sex.com to redirect to sex.com.xxx. Let the porn sites keep their domains, but they can not host any porn on them.

And even Slashdot becomes readable.
You mean it removes all of the low brow comments?
Yep, that's how you do it. Turns Windows 8 into Windows 7 for the most part.
That will make a great rig for playing games! Now taking it to LAN parties will be an issue...
There is not dark side of the moon, really. As a matter of fact, it is all dark.

Who?
I bet most people use the Bing Search in IE to type in Google.com, instead of typing it in the address bar.
More like, cue the Linux users who will state that they do not need to pirate AV software.
But apparently not Ubuntu.
I whole heartedly agree with your assumption.
