  1. Re:What's wrong with domain forwarding? on ICANN Asks VeriSign To Stop DNS Wildcarding · · Score: 3, Insightful

    I prefer my spamfilters intact.
    I prefer that my redundant mailservers actually get used.

    Do some reading before trying to justify what's been done.

    You "shouldn't", just like you shouldn't use double-negatives, unless you have to.

  15. Well.. on Building Up a Small Computer Business? · · Score: 4, Funny

    Usually, you should start out with a business plan.
    For good examples, check out pretty much any slashdot thread. Example:
    1) Ask slashdot how to start a business and what slashdot users want
    2) Buy a nice leased line and set up a webserver on it (preferably heavily driven by databases and dynamic content)
    3) Advertise said site on slashdot
    4) Prof...
    5) Buy a new webserver
    6) Declare yourself bankrupt

  16. Eureaka! on Protecting Your Small Domain from Spam Hijacking? · · Score: 3, Funny

    It's simple really!
    All you need to do is get a *really* long domainname.
    For instance, would you expect any spam to originate from llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysilio gogogoch.com?

    I think not!
    Yet I'm sure there's at least a postmaster account running there (and surely a real account or two, even if just for fun's sake).
