"So far we have received 16 applications, and they are spread across six different languages," Tina Dam, senior director of IDNs at ICANN, told InternetNews.com. ".."A lot of countries have been excited to be first ones up, but there are so many countries in preparations where this will be a really big thing for them and all will be great milestones."
Yes, my understanding of English is quite good enough that I was able to see your point. I was just tempted to add to it, by examplifying...
Irregardless is a word irregardless of what you may think now. Since irregardelss of the absence of use of the word irregardless in the past, if enough people use the term irregardless enough times and in enough contexts, irregardless of the proper use, I'm sure it will find its place in the dictionaries in the future irregardless of the fact that it is a very presumtious word.

When it comes to the filesystems: ext3, slow on Windows, but works (I think, I don't use windows, so I must confess I haven't tried it), ntfs, a bit slow in Linux, but works (I have tried it), you don't use the kernel driver, but the FUSE ntfs-3g driver. File system driver in kernel or user space, you don't want to care.
Modernised to a small analog note book with one or two pages for each project. It beats the hundreds of hours I've tried and searched for, and started to program solutions that involve computers. Of course, if you want to manage more than simple things, I'd go for a medium note book.
I'm not saying it makes sense. And I'm not saying they don't lose most of the time, and that their playing isn't irrational, and believe me, there has been tales of woe.
But I know people who has won big several times, each time more than they'll ever spend. Winning like that one time should happen just once every 1000 years. And I know, winning twice should then happen every 2000 years, so that's almost the same degree of impossible. But I would still call it some quite concentrated luck.
In that light, I see the best strategy of winning when gambling is to bet as little as possible where the possibility of the biggest win is. Since the only way of winning is to have luck, and if you have it you'll win with little effor, and if you don't have luck, you'll lose a lot, even though you sometimes win a little.
There is one and only one way of winning in gamling. Luck.
Don't laugh. I know lucky people, and I'm not one of them.
The people I know have gambled a lot their whole life, with quite a profit. Not horse racing or anything where guessing is possible. If you know your math, you'll know that's very very improbalble without luck. Plain luck.
On topic:
I wouldn't hire you if I knew you considered taking the job but refrained to do it because you thought it might hurt your chances of getting other jobs. That is a very questionable moral and hypocritical. Please choose what you want to do with your life based on your own moral judgement.
