EU Domain registry screwed us

Posted on by

Having tried to register a few .eu domainnames from the 10th of April, I was quite frankly surprised to see how many had allready gone. No, I’m not talking about sex.eu, but more normal ones, ones which should have been free. OK, so I quicly realised the reign of the cybersquatters had begun on that TLD, which shouldn’t have been a surprise, but The Register has an interesting piece about how the squatters have been doing it, using front companies and loopholes in the EuRID process to, for example, register all the three and four letter combinations in existence!

Here’s the article

And here’s an interesting reaction to it

Iran continues April’s Fools

Apparently they don’t understand it’s only for 1 day, not the whole month!

Now that missle is not only undetectable, it also has guidance systems that can’t be scrambled. They discovered that on the test of the second one.

The same article then goes on to the next claim:

On Tuesday, state-run television also said the elite Revolutionary Guards had tested what it called a “super modern flying boat” capable of detecting radar. TV showed a brief clip of the boat’s launch.

“Due to its advanced design, no radar at sea or in the air can detect it. It can lift out of the water,” the television said. It said the boat was “all Iranian-made and can launch missiles with precise targeting while moving.”

Of course, you can’t complete this with now stating that as Iran, you can handle any invasion.
