Can someone give a technical reason why we can't have an empty TLD which all sites looked up via DNS would default go to? So if you don't enter a TLD the DNS would assume you mean the empty TLD so it would give you the IP of the machine bel

It's better to help the poor become rich than it is to give the poor a bobble and have them stay poor. It's essentially teach a man to fish, except with business. He can reinvest, grow the country, then they can all afford the doodle. It's

Like without running water. And, yes it might be the most cost effective, but if you can't convince a white person to use it, then we shouldn't be telling Indians to use it either. It's an option, but the market should and will decide. (p.s

Good story, but a strange guy. Also, he could probably do more good for his country by selling his product. He would actually disrupt the industry, instead of creating yet another charity project. The way to fight poverty isn't to give poor
