Sure it is. They own the root, they can return an RR marked as authoritative for any domain in the system.
Would that work in the face of caching? If my resolver already has .se cached, for example, it wouldn't consult the root at all when looking up thepiratebay.se, right?
What people fail to realize is that US DOJ paved the way for other countries who do not want free internet to do what the DOJ does..ie India can demand that any *.in domain has to follow Indian law and take down any posts that disparage its leaders, etc.. Its really a very bad long term move on DOJ's part and especially undercuts the US State department efforts
> ie India can demand that any .in domain has to follow Indian law and take down any posts that disparage its leaders, etc.. Why is it unreasonable for a .in domain to follow Indian law? Isn't that the whole point of country-specific domains?
The USA should be careful about throwing it's weight around like this too much. Do it too much and the rest of the world will either (a) start using a different .com root server or (b) force the USA to give up power over .com

A few Republicans also want to ban abortion, which is again a ridiculousness intrusive government control. Let alone tapping every form of communication, tightening immigration restrictions, increasing law enforcement funding etc. Even the ide…
> marriage is only an issue because some Republicans feel they have every right to control your personal relationships This is completely OT but marriage is by design, its very nature and tradition not a personal relationship. That's why you have a gathering (the wedding itself), someone usually perceived as important presiding, a party (the reception), why you take your vows in public, why its registered in often pu…

Quoting a post on daringfireball (about a story on readwriteweb) that has confused some foreigners hardly proves that "more often they search or follow links".
Dismissal of an argument by laughing at foreigners doesn't do wonders for your point either. My observations of usage come from working in IT at a wide variety of companies, from corporates to small businesses, including doing customer support at an ISP. I also have been coding HTML since December '93, so am no novice when it comes to the habits of people online. Personally I would say that people use the location ba…

Where does "confused some foreigners" equal "laughing at foreigners"?
As in; 'X is not really an issue, because in example Y it was mainly happening to foreigners', is very rarely a good argument for the vast majority of values of X and Y.
