Comment .prn is a silly idea (Score 2, Interesting) 880

FORCE businesses into .biz and .com schools into .edu and only groups and orginazations get .org while internet services providers are forced with .net ... slashdot will have to become a .com because it is a BUSINESS.

So what about porn sites that do business? Are they .prn .biz or .com? How about a community ISP -- .org or .net? Where would my personal webpage go? I can't have a .com address anymore I guess. And what's the difference between .biz and .com anyway? You already seem confused whether it should be slashdot.com or slashdot.biz!

All this categorizing and nitpicking sounds ridiculous, but the point is that this is what we would have to deal with if we started forcing TLDs based on website content. It just IS NOT PRACTICAL.

And don't even get me started on how we would go about deciding what constitutes "material harmful to minors".
