Isn't it funny that the web has country codes at all? Clearly they're not being used most of the time for their country code purpose. It seems like a bit of a mistake to have them. It's right there in the web's name: this web thing is world wide.
Is there a policy for what happens to ccTLD if a country changes its name or disappears?

Check out the story of the .su (Soviet Union) domain: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.su http://www.theguardian.com/technology/2013/may/31/ussr-cyber...
Is there a way to buy them? I have an eu domain but I want a su domain as well :D

From my original comment on this article: > [the internet was a place where] Anyone could publish and be heard and read about certain taboo subjects and not be publicly shamed for entertaining a certain thought. It's hilarious to me that you're doing just that. You're trying to shame me for finding some ideas interesting simply because it came from a crazy person? Does finding a piece of writing interesting imply tha…

As a French, I hope some day we will have a brave enough government who:
* tells the British to refuse to have foreign troops occupying a full territory displacing their own people;
* says that the current situation is wrong, and that these territories are supposed to be French, with the same legitimacy as the Réunion. There is no need to go to war or alike for that, but I feel this is something which should be said.
.IO is truly just a phenomenon that "just happened." It collectively rolled out and picked up momentum with each new domain registration. I remember a few years back when I started seeing a few here and there pop up. Right away as an old school Linux veteran I thought it was cute and "got" the idea. No one planned this, and even if they did it wasn't the master plan that created the popularity of .IO. .IO has only co…
> a billion dollar industry at least The latest stats I could find [1] put the total number of .io domains at around one million. Even if you assume $100 registration fee (you can get one for much less), it's still 900m shy of a billion. [1] http://blog.park.io/articles/enormous-growth-of-io-domains/
Some additional context from wikipedia: the island was originally 100% uninhabited in the 19th century when the French brought slaves there. Over the course of the next century, it was mostly privately owned, and the majority of residents were employees of plantations who were under temporary contracts and would return to Mauritania or the Seychelles after the contract was over. Ever since the slave days, there was a…
> whether they were really permanent residents I think it's pretty strange not to think of somebody as a permanent resident of the place they've lived since birth.

Where do you draw the line in that argument? Would you be worried if the same argument and logic were applied to people who arrived in the US after Columbus, or people who arrived in Gaul after the Romans? If a line can be blurred back to the beginnings of recorded history, then the line doesn't really exist. >Should we all feel guilty when we visit national parks? No, you should respect that the national park has a…
