Yes, it really is necessary. That domain name has a real market value, the only question is, who is making the money: ICANN who can hopefully use them to enhance the infrastructure of the Internet, or some domain squatter who can use them to buy himself a new Ferrari. To late for the biz TLD tho, it's so infested with spammers and scammers that you don't miss anything by blocking it completely.
I've never really understood slashdotters animosity towards domain *investors*. Jelousy perhaps? At any rate a quick review of the histrory of the registries and ICANN shows their ideas of innovation. Not good. Technology prices are going down and companies like Godaddy can offer full sites and customer service for $2/name/year, yet a registry somehow needs unlimited pricing ability to keep the database and respond to queries.
OK. So answer this. If as Einstein's theory's seem to state, there is no "fixed grid" to space, then how come the person on the spaceship has time slow down. After all, if the spaceship moves away from Earth at.5c isn't Earth moving away from the spaceship at.5c? How do you know which one is moving at that speed, if they both are moving at that speed (relative to each other).
Also, if two bodies move away from each other, each at speed of light, what is the speed they are moving apart? Is it 2x speed of light?
