Having found my old high school on FB, the subject of physical punishment came up. I found out that my biology teacher, Mr. Summers, who I was belted by for doing something that could have been sorted out with a few sharp words. Of course, the belt was the answer to all problems caused by…

The Google Zoo roll out impacted SBI sites at exactly the time their new BB2 was undergoing development. The BB2 module was way…
It’s true that there may be more customers than domains, esp. if you consider those customers who sign up, but never even register a domain despite paying.
