Will ICANN be allowing the use of Australian character sets too?<br>
<br>
How do you write Coca-Cola in Australian, anyway?<br>

his blog - re: there is REAL DANGER in allowing stuff like
Cyrillic characters that resemble English characters.
Nobody wants to block other language from the web - they just
want ICANN to find a solution to this huge gaping security
disaster waiting to happen. If you stopped for a second to
look beyond your hatred of the USA, you'd realize a few things:
1. Dean is Australian (duh!!).
2. English is common to many more countries other than USA.
3. It's a REALLY BAD IDEA to have characters that look the
same visually represent different values in domain names.
That's a real security threat to EVERY COMPANY OUT THERE.
It's not about English vs. Other languages - it's about
Hackers vs. Everyone else.

People speaking other languages should be burnt. Why are
those languages useful anyway? No US people speak those
anyway. Why are they useful???? I don't get it!!! Damn
ICANN.
Let's make a petition and stop ICANN. I can't
believe they didn't know. They must be part of this
conspiracy against us.
This is really really bad. I also heard that someone
invented knives. They say it's to cut bread but some
terrorists abroad are using them and train against the US.
Let's nuke them too. Knives are bad. Bad bad bad. Oh my
god, it got worse. Check out the knive throwing video on
YouTube <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4S8cNrIR5ac">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4S8cNrIR5ac</a>
This "mother" is from Georgia... I am sure!!!
Someone may be injured by this!!!! I can't believe ICANT
didn't do anything about this!!!!! Let's ban knives
(outside the US). Those Neanderthals don't need them
anyway. They live in caves.
Give me back my Paypal!
