Hackerne.ws has a real panache for comedic timing.

  The canonical URL is actually news.ycombinator.com // Just thought you might like to know.

    I know what the canonical name is, but that's not a name, it's a url. This community is a 'thing' in and of itself and merits a name independent of a rather sterile subdomain.

      Sure. But the canonical name is Hacker News, HN for short. (Or Innocuous News when PG is feeling cheeky). And the canonical URL is news.ycombinator.com I pointed it out because some people don't realise that is the URL. But you piqued my curiosity. - http://hackerne.ws http://hackerne.ws is regered to Yiannis Volos, (who seems to own about 100,000 domains --- http://whois.domaintools.com/hackerne.ws http://whois.domaintools.com/hackerne.ws ) http://ycombinator.com http://ycombinator.com is registered to Paul Graham (who seems to own about 46 domains http://whois.domaintools.com/ycombinator.com http://whois.domaintools.com/ycombinator.com )

        whois.domaintools.com isn't following the WHOIS delegation for .ws, so it is the GoDaddy email address (dns@jomax.net) that appears to own 100,000 domains.

          aha. That makes a bit more sense. I was thinking 100K URL's was high even for a domainer.
