    I disagree, I believe that most people don't realize how much music distracts them.

  4. I quit on RIAA Seeks Royalties From Radio · · Score: 1

    I quit listening to music about two years ago, I listen to a song once in a blue moon but that's about it, hardly anything to fork over more dough than I can count on one hand for.

    I have to admit, my life has been better since doing so & I get more accomplished.

  10. Rehehehelly on F-Secure Responds To Criticism of .bank · · Score: 1

    Today, anybody can get a .com domain with a fake name and fake address, with a fake credit card. That's just fine with everybody? Don't we really need a TLD where you could actually trust that you know who owns the domain?

    Why yes, yes we do, apparently, we also need a replacement for .com suitable to shop on as well.
    What are we supposed to do, go online to do our banking & that's it ?
    If the internet is soo insecure that banks can not do business, why should anyone do business online ?


    Security software and browser toolbars would essentially have a "white list" to work with.

    Along with malware writers.
    A defence that can be used against you is no defence at all.


    Only if they can prove that they are a real bank. And they would not be able to register misleading domain names. And in the worst case, a rogue domain would be shut down quickly. The possibility of losing their investment in registering such a domain wouldn't be worth the risk for criminals.

    Untill Christmas comes along.


    We already have a TLD for airlines (try www.nw.aero) and museums (try the.british.museum). Isn't it a bit odd we don't have one for banks? Although they are the ones that get attacked all the time?

    That's a very good point.


    Would it work?
    Yes: in the end there probably would be no rogue sites under such a new TLD. They would be elsewhere.

    How can the answer be "yes", when there would "probably" be no rogue sites ?
