Re:China bans individuals from registering domain names on Wednesday December 16, 2009 @12:25PM (#999220)
Up to until a few years ago .fi domains could only be registered by a company or other organization matching the name of the domain.

I sort of liked that system. There were almost no vanity/"spam" domains in the TLD.

I tried sitting on a ball at home some time ago, but after a couple of hours on it, my back is on fire. It did not go away after about a week of trying, so I gave up.

I think it's more to the point to say "during WW1". Finland wasn't directly involved.
Re:Facebook doesn't want you to deactivate your account. on Monday July 06, 2009 @04:10AM (#689321)
I once tried to remove my Facebook account. I found a form (via Google) for this purpose and filled it out. However I got an error reply via email which looked like the email sent by the SMTP form was not being accepted by some Facebook server. I complained of this via support, and within one day they removed my account.
