He's not asking for anything. He's pointing out how a different data model allows for solving a different set of problems. The MVCC page on Wikipedia might give you a better background so that you're able to contrast the two models and determine for yourself where they are useful: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiversion_concurrency_contro...

For a simple registrar that supports DNSSEC I've been quite happy with https://www.gkg.net/. Their prices are reasonable and their site is quick and functional, though it's navigation is a bit clumsy. I can't comment on their hosting (including DNS) as I've not used it.

Your assessment of what constitutes "many people" and mine clearly differs.
You are quite right that my clients are unaffected. I like most of the world run a mix of Windows and OS X which like the software that runs on top of them, are not DNSSEC aware (with few exceptions).
Clearly I do care about the subject and I'm not sure why you keep stating that I do not. There is a difference between ignoring a technology until it's useful and ignoring it full-stop.
EDIT: Edited for brevity.

Regarding TLDs, you're again intimating that I have said something that I have not said.
I do not dispute that some people are able to use DNSSEC and this does not belie my original comment.

as of yesterday people can resolve domains over DNSSEC
People can resolve the root over DNSSEC. This is a milestone, but it's one to be followed by many, many more before it affects clients.

Your reading of my post as "omg it's not deployed" is an unwarranted exaggeration. I merely stated that for me, someone who maintains a from the wire-up DNS implementation, this baby-step doesn't change anything practical — which is something you've agreed with.
EDIT:
It goes without saying but I'll state it anyway, this cascade of down-votes is not the reaction I'd expect for making what I consider to be a pretty innocuous comment about something that potentially affects the priorities of my startup.

I'm going to continue ignoring DNSSEC until I see it affect clients in a meaningful way. Until then I think there is other things my users would prefer I spent my time on.

I can only assume that your vitriol stems from my lmgtfy post and so for that I apologise. My comment about the points was and is both sincere and practical advice and I hope you can revisit that post and my others in a less antagonistic light.

My bad, I get excessively terse when I'm tired. I wasn't suggesting it out of utility but out of appreciation — nothing says thank you quite like a superfluous vanity domain.
EDIT: Just noticed my other post has garnered at least one down-vote so although I'm pretty sure this idea doesn't have legs, on the off-chance you dear reader are one of ~13 other folks who'd like to see this happen, drop me an email to express your interest.

Although the identifying info from those screenshots is scrubbed, the comments say the R-URI is basically user@ip:port. This is interesting: there's no SIP proxy in between.
Unfortunately I see "Bandwidth Limit Exceeded" when I go to that page but your comment makes me wonder whether they are doing SIP URI discovery via DNS-SD[1] given their penchant for DNS-SD.

Gotta wander off on a tangent here — scribd is a beautiful site! I'm probably the last one around here to find out since this is the first time I've looked at their site since they dropped Flash (which I ignored) but wow, what a difference — if you found scribd not to your taste and haven't been back since, it's time to revisit it.

It figures you downvoted me. You will probably downvote this one too.
So that's what concerned you. The points don't matter. Seriously, they don't mean anything and certainly shouldn't change the way you interact with people. Particularly as you don't know who is doling out the points.
Re:Ask HN: Only one text field allowed on the webapp

Questioning user interface dogma in your field can have interesting results. I'm building a DNS service at the moment and having experimented with a few user interfaces, have found the one I like the most has a single page for viewing and editing the zone, fixed record names and types, no class or TTL (at all), and a field for each unit in a records data, rather than the traditional one data field per record data. It's more limited than other interfaces but it's also more powerful; have to wait and see whether the market agrees.

I'm sure it's just an off-the-cuff remark.
The guy weighs in on the opposite side of something that is common knowledge, then says you should check what I'm saying because I could be fibbing, oh and I'm famous for having a bias against the side I've just disfavoured — and you reach that conclusion?
If I were a cynic I'd say both you and he were trolling, but I rather think he was just taking the mickey and it's turned into a rather droll black comedy.

I ask as I like OpenID enough that at least for my services alpha, I'm only implementing OpenID.
