Comment Re:Who owns .win TLD & its registry (Score 3, Insightful) 35

Don't you find they control enough things already?

Microsoft TLDs are: .azure .bing .hotmail .office .skype .windows .xbox

Complaint about it not being hosted on a .windows domain.

Control of the .win TLD
Registry Management

The .win top-level domain (TLD) is managed by Famous Four Media, which operates as the registry for this domain.
Delegation and Oversight

The .win TLD was delegated to the Root Zone on March 26, 2015, as part of ICANN's New gTLD Program. ICANN (the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers) oversees the approval process for new TLDs and maintains the authoritative list of TLDs.
Purpose and Governance

The .win domain aims to create a dedicated space for online gaming resources, promoting consumer trust and choice within that sector. A Governance Council has been established to involve key stakeholders in the management and direction of the TLD.

This structure ensures that the .win TLD is not only managed effectively but also aligns with the interests of its user community.

Comment Re:Clumsy - there are faster claimed stars: S5-HVS (Score 1) 36

"10 million times larger than the sun," : Even though Space.com was quoted, it's a poor choice of words, since neither mass nor diameter is specified.

Here, in the Slashdot article, the black hole isn't identified by name. Poor writing - reads like hype.

Capitalization: "sun" should be "Sun".

Indeed, look at the size of the legs an elephant needs to support its mass so twice the diameter is much more than twice the mass, given the same density of course. It could even be 10 million times the diameter of the sun and only half the mass with different densities although I'd expect a black hole to have a higher density than the Sun.

I often compare with Quebec to get an idea of the order of magnitude:

Hydro-Québec’s generating fleet comprises 61 hydroelectric generating stations and 24 thermal plants with a total installed capacity of 37.2 GW. Its hydropower facilities also include 28 large reservoirs with a combined storage capacity of over 176 TWh, as well as 681 dams and 91 control structures.
