December 2006


I just received a letter from one Domain Registry of Canada, informing me that my domain was soon to expire (its renewed now. no stealing for you, bitches). This letter looked very much like a bill, and offered to extend my domain registration for a while. The problem? I use dreamhost. A quick skim through the document is enough to see that it is not in fact a bill, but I must wonder how many people fall for this scam. It seems like others have been recieving these as well.

Maybe I’m an idiot to have thought this was a bill for even a short moment, but with the outrageous rates that this company charges, I’m sure they’re making a killing from the few responses they do get.

Bastards.

Like really really horrible.

No, worse than that. You wont even believe. Just listen to this nonsense.

Him: Write down one cent. How would you write one cent?
Floor Manager: 0.01
Him: How do you write half a cent
Floor Manager: uhh that would be… point… 0, 0, 5 of a cent… i dont know if thats right.. I’m not a mathematician.

…I’m speechless.
