Sometimes stupid people hirt themselves even harder than others.
Domains considered profane, e.g. ‘blow.co.ck’, ‘mybig.co.ck’, etc, will not be considered on any level, and the application will be dissolved with the applicant being notified, and future requests for the same domain name will be ignored. ‘.ck’ domains are monitored on the web, on a regular basis for profanity on the Internet if it is found to be doing so, or if the site is deemed inappropriate, the domain will be terminated without notification or refund. via wikipedia
In their apt attempt to follow one of the stupidest decisions in the history of Internet*, administration of Cook Islands found a way how to make a profanity out of a harmless abbreviation.
* – greedy practice of forcing people to register 3rd-level domains in some national TLDs rather than normal 2nd-levels (e.g. company.co.uk vs. company.uk)
Progressive tax rates fail
Progressive tax rates doesn’t make filthy rich people less richer. And it doesn’t really hurt middle class as hard as the poors. Actually, progressive tax rates make poor people even more poorer directly and indirectly.
When you make $100 000 a month and had to pay 60% tax, you hide $80 000 using off-shore accounts, deduct $10 000 with the help of your fellow accountant, pay $6000 and get $94 000 to spend on whatever you like.
When you make $3000 a month and had to pay 50% tax, you pay $1500 + $400 for different socialistic crap you think you may be find useful in the distant future and get $1100 to spend on food, closes, gadgets and entertainment.
When you make $800 and had to pay 40% tax, you pay $320 + $400 for different socialistic crap and get $80 for food. And when you come to the socialists with the words “Help me please, all I can afford is the cheapest and crappiest food I can find”, they are answering with “look, dude, you have a job and a pretty descent salary. You have nothing to complain about. You know, children in Africa, they are starving…”
Top Hosting Companies in Afghanistan

Zimbabwean Hosting
According to webhosting.info, dnska.com is a fifth largest hosting provider in Zimbabwe with a market share of 7.5%. Their website screenshot:
The next largest Zimbabwean hosting provider is Cyberplex Africa with a market share of 4%:
So, if you want to take 15% share of Zimbabwean hosting market, you will need a website with at least nine lines of text (any text will be ok, I think) to succeed.
The Definition of Overselling
I want my fourty five (roughly) Terabytes of data transfer and four and a half Terabytes of data storage for just a 12 bucks a month.
Winterspring Frostsaber
And no, I’m just a casual player. I have a life, a job and a girlfriend sometimes. And a very little bit of vanity.
And yes, it took me a month to get this ubercatmount.

Poor Man’s Cable Management
If you want to hide all the power cords that grow plentifully from the rear of your computer, table-top beer brewery and other vital gadgets… just bind the power surge protector to the table leg with a piece of duct tape.
Otocinclus
I’ve brought this little guy home yesterday, as a final accord to habitate my tank. Pretty young (two to three months, just a one and a half cm long) Otocinclus was nervously swimming all across the front glass of the tank all evening so I started to think he won’t survive the move but today he looks like he has accustomed to the new home.
Unfortunately, it was the last specie in the pet shop. Otos are keen on swarming. In their natural habitat they are swimming in the small groups of five to ten thousands fishes. True! Look at that video! So I need two more Otocincluses to save the little one from dying of loneliness (they can, I read it on the interwebs).
NB: Photo isn’t mine, just the one spread wide on the internet. I will photograph my Otocincluses when manage to get two more. They are looking much more happier in swarm.
