No. The database was already in the process of being transitioned to IANA prior to the lawsuit. The lawsuit just accelerated the transition. It is now at http://www.iana.org/time-zones

Various technical experts from the DNSSEC/ICANN communities published a paper about six months ago on the problems the remedies can cause for DNSSEC. See http://s3.amazonaws.com/dmk/PROTECT-IP-Technical-Whitepaper-... In essence, any meas

It seems like this is a provisioning trick, rather than an actual DNS record. None of this "ALIAS" records ends up in a zone, or in a DNS packet; rather it is some option on a web interface that presumably never comes near the actual DNS be

Not quite countless. There are 307 TLDs today, up from about 250 a decade ago. Most of this growth as been in non-Latin IDN domains (There are 21 gTLDs today, including .XXX) There will however be a sea change in the future, ICANN is intend

The fact that this works reflects that fact Safari hasn't implemented the IDN standard fully, and neither has the .LA domain registry. Section 4.2.2 of RFC 5891 forbids the Emoji codepoints from being encoded in a valid IDN string.

Whether a raft of new generic top-level domains succeeds or fails depends on whether there is a mind shift in the average user from ".com" to ".anything". IMHO, the new entrants like .biz haven't succeeded because there hasn't been that shi

No. There are 307 top-level domains right now and ICANN has added several dozen top-level domains in the last year and your regexp is probably already broken. You can be sure anyone using regular expressions has not been matching them corre

They are country-code top-level domains. Currently IDNs are limited to country representations only.

As an Australian in California, and having lived and worked in two European countries too, I'd say that Australians work less hours but actually are more focused when they do work. I see a lot Americans at work, but not doing work. Long lun

I was an early adopter of Things and I too have been disappointed with the multi-year march toward over-the-air synching. One of the things that suggests they haven't taken the issues seriously involves their current support for opportunist

Each ccTLD is delegated to a competent operator within the country it is designated. In almost all cases (except some historic ones) this is to an entity with approval of the national government of the country. They in turn set their own re

Disagree. By that logic, when you pull up Hacker News' front page it should download "grayarrow.gif" 30 times - once each for each story it appears next to.

Why North America? For the most part North America has mature deployment of Internet services. What is really driving IP address exhaustion right now is Asia where millions are coming online for the first time. They are the ones that will h

1. Place a resolver on your laptop. Many believe we are moving to a world where the DNS logic is on each host, because we've moved beyond the time where you need to offload the heavy lifting of DNS processing to some remote server. Perform

My immediate thought when I read the original report of this was exactly this. I am Australian and I travel frequently - I have a 64-page passport which is mostly full with 100s of stamp, and is so worn the laminate is peeling off the ID pa

If the link works, but your browser's address bar shows the wire form with "xn--" in it, it is due to the browser's security policy. For example, Firefox will only display IDNs correctly for TLDs they approve of: http://www.mozilla.org/pro
