@Kaiser-Machead: So what does it all mean basil? Will we be seeing new chips entering the iTouch and iPhone or will they just keep it the same and activate them when the time comes? #cellphones
@opanitch: It's possible that the broadcom chip in the iPods will not be activated with N, and that its inclusion was a matter of cost than capability. If they DO decide to activate it for whatever reason, no doubt it will involve a charge to do so. #cellphones
"One of the key parts of the IDN system renders all those fears about our precious dot coms being invaded by shady, foreign characters for naught, because only country-specific domain names, those with two letter designations such as .cn or .ae, are affected by this approval." #nonlatintopleveldomains
@Xagest: Windows supports a lot of keyboard setups even if the hardware is still a qwerty. I run US International which is pretty great. It keeps all the keys in the same spot but when you press the apostrophe it waits until you press the next letter. If it's a vowel or another accent-able letter it automatically puts the accent on for you. Same function with the grave/tilde key.
For example
á, é, í, ó, ú and even ý. Similarly, ä, ë, ï, ö, ü and ÿ. And then there's ñ, Ñ, ã, û, etc., etc...
Sorry I got a bit carried away there, but I do love my foreign characters/languages. #nonlatintopleveldomains
@Xagest: Character Map is your friend.
Also, Alt+#### (Alt+156=£, Alt+1701=Ñ)
And thirdly, I imagine bit.ly and tinyurl will help. #nonlatintopleveldomains
It's a good thing the ICANN isn't run like Apple, or they'd start inexplicably rejecting domain names for being certain languages. #nonlatintopleveldomains
I don't understand the term "ruggerized." Can someone help me out with that one? I'm not being nit-picky, I'm just simply not getting it. "Rugger" is an informal term for rugby, so I want to think that Jesus is going for rubberized, because of the keyboard locations of the letters. But then that doesn't quite sit well either. A rubber computer? A more rugged computer? Help. #interfacemessageprocessor
Please pass my thanks to these gentlemen. Without their brilliance, I wouldn't be able to swear at people thousands of miles away.
And to that guy from Azerbaijan, yes, I fucked your mother, yes I gave her a burning case of herpes, but that's just because she got all bitey when she was sucking my dick. That's right - I gave your mother revenge herpes.
@OMG! Ponies!: Let's not forget the sexual desensitization of the male species due to the vast sums of Internet porn available. #interfacemessageprocessor
I just wonder if he saw the potential of that moment. What happened that day truly changed the world forever.
I also wonder if he knew all the stupid disgusting things that would be birthed and publicly viewable because of that would he do it again? #interfacemessageprocessor

And those are technically still Latin characters, even if accents aren't really supported at the time. #nonlatintopleveldomains

Of course, the real trainwreck will come when people want unicode vTLDs. Then we can have paypal.cסּm.
