I know several TLDs such as.uk shorten.com.uk to.co.uk. Is there some reason for this? I would think.com.uk or a.com.us would be easier to remember then.co.us or.uk. Might even appeal to the "if it's not a dot com, it sucks" crowd a little better.
On the other hand, as fellow tech supporters might agree with me here, it's hard enough getting people to remember to add just.com alone as it is. Seems it's really a no win scenario after all.
I for one would have loved to register for ICANN, but their darn system wouldn't let me. I tried well over 10 tries to register at various points in the day and it was always overloaded.
Maybe if someone over at ICANN read Slashdot they would have been ready for the Slashdot effect that they got and actually more people register..
I bought one of those for a network I administrate.. the darn things only support a class C subnet mask, instantly rendering it useless because of the class B scheme that we were using.. Attempts at contacting linksys have turned up nothing. Anyone know of one of these cheap (around $100) NAT boxes that let you change the netmask instead of it being fixed at 255.255.255.0?
Oregon's state animal is the beaver, there's even one on the back of the flag. Heck, Oregon State University is home to "The Beavers" sports teams. I wonder if they'll eventually filter out the state and university's websites..

it's all a giant conspiracy!
Hey, that sounds cool! Do you have it available anywhere? That sounds like something fun to have around.
