"No burger_king.com either."

I find it sort of amusing people thought we would be using underscores in place of spaces in domain names.

Also amusing:

"The guy in registration? One person is responsible for assigning domain names on the Internet?

Actually, "We have 2.5 people doing it," Williamson said, meaning that the half person is really a full person doing it part-time."


To place this in context...I was six, and my family couldn't afford a computer. It would be another 2 years before we had a Dell in the house.

I've kinda been addicted to it since.
