I like this bit:
"There are also moves afoot to globalise the way the web works, allowing the creation of website addresses in languages like Chinese, Arabic and Russian, rather than just the Roman alphabet.

Plans by Icann, the organisation which oversees internet addresses, had been opposed by some who argued that it could create a splintering of information and allow some repressive governments to exercise greater levels of control over its citizens. However, the proposals passed and the organisation plans to start liberalising web addresses in 2009."

I find such hypocrisy so irritating.

I agree Golem.

But out of that article I can't believe you completely missed this quote ...

There used to be a phenomenon on the internet called 'tromboning'

Now for the uninitiated, 'tromboning' is thus.

Ah geez!! I was way too innocent to know the alternative.

Note - WAS.

Don't lose sleep over it, I didn't barf in reality.
