"Think of the internet domain system as one giant honkin' tree. The root servers at the top...pass off queries down the tree"
So this is a tree with the roots at top and the branches at the bottom?? Where I live the roots normally go in the ground, that is, at the bottom of the tree. Still, it's a strange old world out there, maybe things are different round your way?
Go!zilla, Nomo zilla, Zilla clothing, For my Zilla, Bellary Zilla Panchayat, Zilla Design, Shimoga Zilla Panchayat, Godzilla (some way down the list, unfortunately for Toho...), Budgie-Zilla, Zilla Sports, Cafe Electric - home of the Zilla, Zilla, Trafficzilla.com, Web-Zilla, Davezilla (even further down the list), and so on for "about 120,000" results.
I've got a question. Say I write a piece of software called, for example, 'wibble'. I write this software for a win32 platform using Microsoft Visual C++ making extensive use of a variety of libraries written by Microsoft. When I release the final compiled version do I have to call it Microsoft/Wibble??
Not long ago the BSA were chastised by the Advertising Standards Agency, here in the UK, for using language considered too threatening in these letters and implying that they (the BSA) were an official body. The ASA said that the letters "did not warrant this tone of fear". Interesting eh? Go here for the full adjudication.
As I'm english I'd just like to say, for the record, that our government publishes all acts of parliament, and the like, on the web already, and has for some time. All of 'em are freely available through Her Majesty's Stationary Office (www.hmso.gov.uk i think). Why the US senate can't do the same I can't imagine, it seems to me to be an eminently sensible thing to do but there you go...
