ICANN Approves .XXX

lothos writes "Pornography will have its own top-level domain, dot-XXX, the board of the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers decided today." Ars Technica has a short but thoroughly-linked article tracing some of the long history (in Internet time) behind the push for .xxx. See also ICANN's announcement of the approval, and — for all the juicy details — the rationale behind the decision (PDF).

I always had trouble finding porn on the internet before, what with there being so little of it out there. This will make it so much easier to find now! Thanks Internet!

I'm not going for .xxx. I figure porn is a business so I'm using .com until they do it right and I can use .cum.

Wait till someone registers $firstname$lastname.xxx .... of their least favorite politician. When they come along and say "hey you're domain squatting my name" you can make sure there is heaps of publicity about them wanting to register their .xxx domain.
this will have absolutely no unintended consequences and certainly wont be abused [/sarcasm]

I'm guessing you would be more interested in the term as it applies to "tossing."
Good heavens, a Slashdot article where that's actually on topic... what is the world coming to?
