Must have been a slow news day.

So MSNBC is a news organization and Fox News is not? I’m confused.

I’m sorry, I got so bored I couldn’t keep listening–not because the subject was boring, but because Maddow speaks likes she’s talking to 3-year-olds.

So, does it just turn into another I-hate-America-and-western-culture rant?

I couldn’t tell if she was glad that America was taking a hit or that her girl toy was going to be on. She almost couldn’t refrain a laugh knowing America really doesn’t make anything anymore the rest of the world is going to bypass the middle man and go directly to the source.

So I point out Rachel Mancow’s and the blonde’s wrong points and ignorance, so Breitbart deletes my comments.

Lesbian administrator maybe?

What happened was ICANN moved their standard for DNS names(A value) from ASCII to UNICODE character codes. It is not a bad day for anyone. That by itself though doesn’t make more domains available. It just increases the possibilities for the DNS name associated with the IP of the server. That part actually allows more domains to exist. The move from ASCII to UNICODE just allows more character combination for the domain name. MSNBC continues to cover topics they don’t understand. Rachel like every liberal needs to study before she speaks. DNS is what makes a name like breitbart.tv mean anything at all. When you type that in your your browser, it actually first accesses a DNS server and finds out what “breitbart.tv” means. It translates to the IPv4 address of “72.21.91.20″. “So http://breitbart.tv” is essentially the same as “http://72.21.91.20″. You can make things more complicated but for the average user that is enough for this lesson. That is the address of the server that the domain “breitbart.tv” points to. Now the name can have many more characters, but the IP address pool from which it can point to did not grow. The other step is much larger and more difficult to do, moving from IPv4 addresses associated with the domain names, to IPv6. IPv6 allows for many more addresses. When you put the two moves together, the DNS method of simplification of finding the correct server for a website, allows more domains to exist, thus allow for a massive expansion of the internet.
