  • The whole thing is IMNSHO quite silly. Forbiding words in domain names is just plain rediculous. This is typical of the americans, good thing you managed to get rid of it!
  • At a previous employer, a network filter had been installed o protect the employees from the dangers of pictures of unclothed human bodies. This software would automatically block accesses to the entire domain that held the offensive content; it filtered on URL substrings and all page content.

    After hours one day, I was browsing Fender's guitar web site, came upon the Yngwie Malmsteen model Stratocaster and immediately access to "fender.com" was blocked. "http://www.fender.com/somestuff/custom/malmsteen. com" had "teen" in the URL.

    Shortly thereafter I found another job.

  • In the not so distant past, Chevy tried to sell the Nova in Mexico, and couldn't understand why noone bought them.

    After they changed the name to a word that didn't mean "doesn't go" in spanish, it sold quite well . . .
  • Hmm, and I decided that I didn't want any more of those MBA courses even without knowing this :)

    OK, I'll make up for it by tossing out one that I personally verified, having been in the car to take her to appointments: my grandmother was treated for her terminal cancer by a a specialist--named posthumous.

    But on the nova UL--It seems to me that versions of that that I've seen in print specified the name the Nova was changed to, and I thought I'd found it as a chevy model in reference models. Did the name eventually get changed for some other reason?
  • It -is- international. It's just that the US Govt believes that the world is controlled by US law. Also, they had the very top-level nameservers.

    The rest of the world set up their own nameservers and cheerfully ignored anything anyone in the US said or did. At least, those who set up nameservers outside the US did. A lot of smaller countries have their nameservers hosted by a different nation.

  • "A landmark free speech decision held that Federal Communications Commission regulations banning the words from broadcasts did not violate the U.S. Constitution."

    Isn't the internet supposed to be international and cross national boundaries?

    I don't suppose anybody will read this far down the page though with all of those childish foul-mouthed posts further up :(
  • That's horrible. I assumed it was someone doing a pisstake of the Evening Standard site, but it seems genuine...
  • The culture has changed. Medieval Catholics' ultimate "cuss words" were blasphemous, and "fuck" was a slightly-vulgar-yet-acceptable verb.

    Indeed. In fact, a search of medieval parish records in the UK will reveal what would today be considered obscene surnames, but then were, as you say, slightly vulgar yet acceptable. Examples include Fuckalot and Widecunte. No, I'm not kidding. Still, it's probably a little disconcerting if that's the only thing others in your village can think of to describe you...

  • What would be not tolerated when it comes to domain names? If one had www.fucktheskullofmicrosoft.com, should it be allowed? I'm sure the burden of the legal dogs that are sure to follow such a popular site would be on the new owner, but should the registrars be responsible for screening, censoring, and being liable? Anyhow, a person always can add offensive subdomains quickly that include every profanity and hate message. Why bother screening domain names?

    So register.com, CORE, and others are finally in the TLD registration game. Why the hell is it still seventy bucks for two years?! I want competition, dammit! I want market innovation! I want to own cockmaster.org for under twenty bucks! ;)

    Seriously. Now that there are multiple registrars, surely someone will lock onto the novelty of product pricing. For seventy bucks, I'll stick with the one name I have. But for twenty bucks (okay, maybe up to 40) I'd go get a few more. That means I have to DNS them, host them somewhere, and generally put more money into the economy instead of the cash cache under my mattress.

    Remember, kids, competition is Good.

  • This'll make filtering software work a little easier, eh? Why is allowing dirty domain names such a big deal. I've always thought that the porn sites could then practice a more little truth-in-advertising when setting up sites.

    This reminded me of the time when our IT manager decided that the company's web use was needed web filtering and logging software (all because someone in a remote office was offended when she mistyped a website name and got some oral sex site -- we, of course, had to verify this). To express our disgust at this, myself and the other system and network administrators nearly collected enough money to register the domain "www.nakedpeopledoingthenasty.com", create some simple-minded joke website, and then setting up several systems inside the firewall to hit the site about 50,000 times a day. (The fact that this was supposed to go into effect around April 1 had more than a little to do with it as well.) Then we'd wait to see what happened when the web tracking reports came out. As a side benefit, it would have been fun to watch the NT admin try to figure out why disks were filling up with log files.

  • Well, both the equally relevant fick.de and ficken.de exist... apparently German domain name authorities are more relaxed... :-)
  • What makes one word dirty and another one not? I'd love for someone to logically and reasonably explain that one for me...
  • It's really quite simple. People tell us that they are bad, so they are. Don't argue or think about it. Thinking on your own is bad, you should be another member of the herd. Who really gives a crap? They are words, that's it words. Watch south park and you'll understand. "Graffic deplorable violence is ok, as long as you don't use dirty words." And think about it, that's really the way it is in society. You can see two people having sex on tv, but you can't say they're "fucking." You can have someone brutually murder someone else, but the victim best not yell "shit!"

    Besides, anymore you don't have to watch out for fuck and shit, but niggar or gook. I'm not saying I support racial slurs or racism, quite the opposite. But why do we now have an "N-word"? People in the US are way to concerned with what people do rather than what they say. But I guess as long as we keep teaching children that it's ok to murder, you just can't cuss while you do it, america will be the happiest country on the planet.

    They're just words people, they don't hurt anyone, unless you're sadam huisaine(i know that's no where near right), then you better watch out.

  • Only Domainbank [domainbank.net] now blocks such registrations though they allowed them up until late yesterday. But many good 'dirty' domains remain. Just Use a different CORE Registrar [corenic.net]. Other active CORE registrars open to the public still accept such registrations and in fact I just registered some more a few hours ago including 'fuckcensorship.com'. I'd recommend Nominalia since their system works pretty well and $68 is the best price around. Just be sure to use your OWN dns servers or since they charge about a $33 surcharge per dns! http://www.nominalia.com/ [nominalia.com] Netwizards appears to do such registrations, but you'll need to create an acct there first and then wait until it's verified before you can register domains there - or faster, call them first. http://www.netwizards.net [netwizards.net] Any questions or problems, don't hesitate to contact me and/or post to the following groups: comp.protocols.tcp-ip.domains alt.domain-names.registries There's still some good ones left :-) Good Luck!!

  • Netnames [netnames.com] is good for determining availability across the various ccTLDs.

    In regards to gTLDs (COM, NET, ORG), Geektools [geektools.com] and Domainia.org [domainia.org] do the job - they'll first query NSIRegistry and then automatically query the appropriate Whois database. Note that there's aprox a 4 day lag time between the NSIRegistry's real-time and public databases so new registrations won't showup even though they'll registered. To see CORE registrations in near real-time, query the CORE Whois server direct at whois.corenic.net port 43 and enter domain name and press Enter.

    An example of an automated lookup for TITS.COM via Domainia.org:

And if they do, what are they going to use it for? May I suggest that they use it as a public forum for anti-government expression?

Mrpunch is right; the government did NOT register f*ck.com; it is merely holding onto to that name pending a court case in New Hampshire regarding the First Amendment rights of the people who DID register it.

NetSol holds that they are a private entity, and thus have a perfect right to censor.)

    Like TV if it offends some people, they have to take it from the rest of the people. But with TV they don't want children exposed to those
    words. What about when the kid's dad comes home and says 'Johnny get the fuck out my chair and turn that shit off before I beat you into
    therapy. and get me another fuckin' beer you cock.' If children can handle the violence at home, they sure as shit can handle the violence on
    TV. There is no point in creating the illusion that the world is a happy place. Children will grow up soon enough and find out they've been lied

No, I don't see a lot of socially relevant content coming out of these domains, but on the other hand, what damage are we doing by letting then be taken, as opposed to setting more precedents for censorship by banning these domains.

    However, I find it strangely disappointing that people can't come up with anything more interesting or intelligent. Someone posted about www.oedipus.com instead of www.motherfucker.com ... I think the first shows a certain amount of thought that the second lacks.

    Of course, it's less and less relevant to keep censoring the Seven Dirty Words (even though radio still does it) because they're not considered the ultimate obscenity anymore. I don't swear all that much (four years of being a college DJ taught me to watch my mouth), but I don't feel as nasty about using the "F" word as I do about using the "N" word, for instance -- even if I'm quoting someone else (and I'd never use the "N" word of my own volition, except possibly in a story).

    The culture has changed. Medieval Catholics' ultimate "cuss words" were blasphemous, and "fuck" was a slightly-vulgar-yet-acceptable verb. (Chaucer has a character "go to take a piss" in one of his Tales ...) Protestants found scatological terms more "obscene" than blasphemous ones, in most cases. Now, it's changing again. I can say "goddamn" or "fuck" in relatively polite conversation, but racial and ethnic slurs are another matter entirely.
  • Beware of CyberSitter!

    It's evil anyhow, but this site will show you why programmers should be extra-careful to avoid letting this get installed on their machines. Among other things, CyberSitter didn't like the function name "RefreshItems" because of the cuss word embedded in it. :P

    Then again, as a technical writer for a utility company, the project I'm working on would have the same problem. All these "nipples" and "butt ends" and "stopcocks" on the equipment database ... *sigh*

    And as a scadian, anything with "A.S. XXXIV" is likely to get blocked by stupid censorware as well. When I have kids, I'd rather let them run across the odd dirty pictures than have to figure out why they can't get to something like that.

    Yes the priorities are screwed up. Examples follow:

    1. Ellen getting TV-14ed for kissing her girlfriend, while Dharma and Greg can practically have sex in front of the audience and only get TV-PGed for it.

    2. One use of the word "fuck" = automatic PG-13 rating in a move. Admittedly, this is better than it was; used to get it rated R. Ditto for one shot of someone smoking dope. One glimpse of a nude female breast will probably kick it up to R. Yet PG and even G movies can show various and sundry violent acts. A particularly nasty example of this was the NC-17 movie Kids, which is one of those movies that should have been rated R so that parents would watch it WITH their teens and talk about it!!!

    3. MTV's silliness about Tom Petty saying "roll another joint" when they've had plenty of songs with more-subtle pot references.

  • A good question. I assume that since .com, .org, .gov, and .net were originally registered by US citizenry, while other countries added the .uk, .ca, .au, etc. (not intentionally leaving anyone out), it is kind of landmark for us (US citizens) to reclaim some of our free speech rights.

    I do not guess that there is any restriction on anyone using the .com, etc. names; however, the US Federal government may still think it has the right to administer them. If the CA courts ban the use of the names; maybe a non-US /. can try to fight it in an international arena.
  • FUCK stand for "for unlawful carnal knowledge", or "fornicate unlawful carnal knowledge" i.e. having sex with someone when it is unlawful. It is, however, pretty damned old term. Back then any non-church-condoned sex (out of wedlock) was unlawful.

  • As you know, many large companies routinely buy up likely domains that are variants of their own company name.

    For example, consider the mythical corporation named `XXX, Incorporated'. Their domain of XXX.com is probably not the only one they happen to own. They often also own XXXsucks.com as well. Now suddenly they need to rush out and buy up fuckXXX.com as well.

    Now, apply this to zillions of companies, and it sure looks to me as though this is a way to generate a lot of cash quickly. In other words, a get-rich-quick scheme. :-)
