    闪光包.com

    ICANN, the internet body that oversees the issuance and assignment of domain names has formally approved the use of non-Latin character domain names. This will permit characters in Arabic, Chinese, Cyrillic, Hindi and other approved languages to be used in the address bar of a web browser:

    http://www.nytimes.com/2009/10/31/te...t.html?_r=2&hp

    Shall we see a new era in flashkit history where yellow will have its purpose with 闪光包.com?
    I ask you all to concentrate really hard on the freedom of all being. Its hard not to be very angry it is impossible We have to focus this confusion frustration helplessness feeling into a creative outlet Anger can spawn such amazing creativity through Street art Free art to teach each other know each other a language our evolution Go ahead and break some dumb rules

    hmmm....are letters with accents (ñ, á,é,*, etc) considered non-latin? or are they still latin characters? would they be included in this decision?

    Also, while I think it's good to "internationalize" the internet, I think this domains will also fragment the internet. How are you going to type a domain name in hebrew or japanese? I guess most of us don't have a keyboard (or the knowledge) to type those languages...and this goes for all...how would a japanese internaut type a russian domain?

    Sorry, but I don't like it.

    Oh, and aren't we running out of IP's? how will millions of new domains be supported?

    I agree, that is the nationalization of the internet. It was a bad decision. Soon the internet will be the Babylon tower.

    I was going for an Osterreich accent... so actually I should have switched the er's for ä's instead.

    Seems like this will make it way more confusing. I don't know any other languages...

    Seems like this would be a good excuse.

    If it's just a dot com address that will be the impetus for you learning a foreign language, then you should probably not waste your time.

    I wasn't serious. I'm not going to go learn another language so I can type in some russian blog address. That's a waste of time.

    On a serious note though about a comment above. Aren't we within a few years of using all the known addresses in the protocols we use? This seems like it will make it happen way sooner and crash. Or is there something new coming this way I'm not aware of?

    For IPv4 (32 bit), yes. For IPv6 (128 bit), not even close.

    Just to consider how many IPv6 addresses there are in the world:
    There are 2^128 IPv6 addresses.
    One Terrabyte holds 2^40 bytes, or 2^43 bits.
    There are 6 billion people in the world, approximately 2^32 people.
    If every person on earth had a terrabyte harddisk, and each bit on each harddisk had a unique IP address, then only 2^75 IPv6 addresses would be used. Actually, we could all get a trillion harddisk each, and there would still be IP addresses left. So no, we are not about to run out of (IPv6) addresses

    I'm divided on this one. While it may make surfing easier for yet untold numbers of user it also may fragment the internet.

    Another note it will make lots of money for registrars.
    Think about it. you want to protect a domain so you buy a few Name.com, Name,net, name.org If you are running an in iternational operation then you have to buy the tld's for country codes yahoo.co.uk etc Now you have to think about the tld and the name translated.
    Such as 克萊斯勒.中國
    크라이슬러.코리아
    etc, etc
    A whole new cottage industry may arise simply to protect brand identities
