Comment Homeopathy has a role (Score 1) 414

How to utilize the documented power of placebo? What if we could get a ready-made placebo industry. The moral problem for a doctor to subscribe sugar pills and pretend to believe it will work would disappear if we could just all embrace homeopathy. As long as the weaker homeopathy medicine is forbidden (as it is not that diluted and could be poisonous), We would then have a set of people who believe that they are selling remedies that help (or at least are greedy enough to pretend convincingly). It would be costly, but not in comparision with the global medical industry. It's a win-win and will even add more jobs!

Comment TLD bloatse.cx (Score 1) 198

I believe people advocating this is driven by two things (fine human values both!):

Greed: The desire to make money without adding value, not by more people registering domain names, but mainly by corporations having to protect their brands in more places
Stupidity: The lack of understanding DNS principles, as in limited to "domain names are what we see at the top of the browser window"

But in any case, now that all the adult stuff is moved successfully to the .XXX TLD, I think we are ready to introduce the new TLD .CON for all the scamming, phishing, spamming and jamming sites. All the idiots of the Interwebz will be happy to go to "microsoft.con" for their updates, and the rest of the world will be safe!

(Disclaimer: I have managed a small ccTLD since 1999)
