    Why the hell is registering a domain name from the Dominican Republic so expensive?

    $140 for 2 years ... that's 5 times a dot com address. What the hell?

    ^zing!!!!


    It's actually .do

    Kind of cool, because that's my last name, so I could have my entire name as the domain. Sweet!

    It's because they didn't want the bay area people coming in and cybersquatting on their domain names before their tech scene becomes Silicon Valley 2.0, duh
    Be careful about buying snowboard goggles for skiing. Snowboard goggles come in right eye and left eye (for goofy-footers) dominant models. This can make it hard to see correctly when skiing because you are facing straight down the hill, not sideways.
