I've heard that this change is being justified as needed because the current available space (based on IPv4) is expected to run out by 2010 or 2011, while IPv6 allows for a larger space. I also heard that justification is BS :)
We need a .spam and .newsThe .com will still be the most sought after though, but eventually when they create enough new TLDs and more people can get a good domain, there might be less need for a .com

I agree. I'm all for new top level domains like XXX to be opened up, but we shouldn't allow just anybody to make a new one.

A simple algorithm can sort those out. There is little variation to your examples.

I know, that's why I said it. See that was the joke.
