YAAAAAY! Porn gets its own domain!!!!

[jswordy]

The online porn industry is about to enter a domain buying frenzy, as the .xxx domain has been approved. Final details still have to be decided, but the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) announced that the domain will become available probably before the end of this year. Prices for the new domains are likely to be US$75, with no restrictions applied for usage other than measures taken to protect against child pornography.

2. not really.

I bet if you mistype a URL (like earthkink.net or something) you'll find some porn.

Or how about porn.com?
I bet that would work too...

3. I think it would make filtering a slam-dunk

But it's not always as easy as one would think. But I'm not a tech man, just a cynic.
