msnbc.msn.com — The Soviet Union may be in the dustbin of history, but there's one place the socialist utopia lives on: cyberspace. Registrations of '.su' domain name have jumped 45 percent this year alone.

- lorductape, on 04/19/2008, -13/+93I feel I must drop the obligatory,
in soviet russia, domain registers YOU!
I apologize.- danielsamuels, on 04/19/2008, -4/+21Dammit, I was too slow.
(That's what she said?)- twkeeper, on 04/19/2008, -4/+0i can't believe how easy is to get a "digg" for spiting out racist joke. Really disappointing...
Not that most Russians are somehow better in this matter, each side always arguing about who is better, while both sides are covered in deep #&^$ till the neck, and they still to blame for everything bad the other evil, bad, 666 Satan side, while never fixing your own problems, cos its hard thing to do. But never forget to teach your children the same trick.
i am really tired to see this happening. Others just making money out of your hate and disrespect to other country's,BIG MONEY!!! And you just making place, for next in line solder to die for this false cause.
And i don't mean US or Russia, this apply to majority.- leonhyral, on 04/20/2008, -1/+2Political correctness can take a jump in the river for all I care. Quit being a baby.
- DanOnTheMoon, on 04/20/2008, -0/+3Racist? Bah, it's a joke on communism as a corrupted, backwards system where nothing works, not a crack on the Russian ethnicity, so, fail. Besides, damnit, my grandpa was from Minsk, I'll make Russian Reversal jokes all ***** day long. In Soviet Russia, no sense of humor has YOU!!
- Flawless, on 04/20/2008, -0/+1"Russian" is a nationality, or an ethnicity... not a race.
Racism does not apply here. Get a grip.
And try to find a sense of humor, too. Geez.
- twkeeper, on 04/19/2008, -4/+0i can't believe how easy is to get a "digg" for spiting out racist joke. Really disappointing...

- x00x, on 04/19/2008, -3/+5You mean, "Apology accepted,Captain Needa".
- fultron89, on 04/19/2008, -3/+3In Mother Russia, apology accepts YOU!
- alenox, on 04/19/2008, -2/+22ok from now on, there can only be 1 russian reversal joke per story - so whoever makes the first good one wins
- macweirdo42, on 04/19/2008, -1/+7Actually, that's probably true.
- CrushThemTorg, on 04/19/2008, -1/+4I would've quit Digg if a Smirnov Reversal hadn't been the first comment.
Then I'd have to find a new site and, frankly, I don't think I could stand all the Lisp jokes on Reddit.
- danielsamuels, on 04/19/2008, -4/+21Dammit, I was too slow.
- SmellyFingers, on 04/19/2008, -32/+2IN SOVIET RUSSIA, PALM FACES U!

- jwolcott, on 04/19/2008, -17/+2Speaking of domain names, who's heard about .mobi?
Just as obscure as .su, only longer: http://dotMobi.mobi- solistus, on 04/19/2008, -1/+9Just as obscure, only not nearly as cool or historically relevant.
- CrushThemTorg, on 04/19/2008, -0/+1Let's go register some .museum and .aero domains.
- Garnan, on 04/19/2008, -12/+2I can't wait to see the paranoia.
- mal1964, on 04/19/2008, -14/+4They leave the west behind.
- solistus, on 04/19/2008, -5/+18Virtually every USSR-related name is taken.... By a cybersquatter. None that I can find are actually in use for meaningful content. USSR, meet capitalism.
- montiff, on 04/19/2008, -2/+3What are you talking about, mother-russia.com is still alive and kicking. I post in the forums daily.
- novenator, on 04/19/2008, -4/+5workers of the world unite! save .su
- rbdkx, on 04/19/2008, -2/+12http://www.digg.su
- verkon, on 04/19/2008, -0/+2In soviet russia, digg submits you!

- robthom, on 04/19/2008, -18/+5"the dustbin of history"? You americans are so full of yourselves its disgusting. A bunch of moron jocks and prom queens.
- jetboyterp, on 04/19/2008, -8/+9Well, where IS the Soviet Union? Communism fails. Thank you Ronald Reagan!
- Ryan77, on 04/19/2008, -1/+6Mikhail Gorbachev*
- biggiddyblam, on 04/20/2008, -1/+2Nice. Dugg for correcting a gross inaccuracy.
- Ryan77, on 04/19/2008, -1/+6Mikhail Gorbachev*
- MasterGrief, on 04/19/2008, -1/+13How is "the dustbin of history" cocky? I've seen it applied essentially everywhere. I don't think it means anything other than "no longer as relevant as it once was". You need to lighten up a bit, buddy.
- robthom, on 04/19/2008, -6/+4"I've seen it applied essentially everywhere. " *****. Whens the last time you saw an american headline call america a garbage can? That would be unamerican wouldn't it. Its just more ***** propaganda to make you capitalist slimes think they're better than everyone else.
- MasterGrief, on 04/19/2008, -0/+5My god, you're a hateful person.
I'm not gonna call you names, I'm not gonna try to insult you, I'm just going to leave you alone after this comment. I hope you calm down in the future.
And also, I misspoke: You're not my buddy, guy. - iDiggIt42, on 04/19/2008, -0/+3I think someone's mom never hugged them as a child.
- biggiddyblam, on 04/20/2008, -1/+1Ignore the comments. People just feel threatened because you're pointing out inadequacies in their economic and political ssystems- as well as in their attitudes.
- DanOnTheMoon, on 04/20/2008, -0/+1Capitalism IS the only socio-economic system that rewards the hard work of individuals and properly addresses man's nature as an individualistic being. That said, to call what we have here in America today Capitalism would be like me eating a chicken breast, crapping it onto a bun, and calling it a chicken sandwich.
- MasterGrief, on 04/19/2008, -0/+5My god, you're a hateful person.
- robthom, on 04/19/2008, -6/+4"I've seen it applied essentially everywhere. " *****. Whens the last time you saw an american headline call america a garbage can? That would be unamerican wouldn't it. Its just more ***** propaganda to make you capitalist slimes think they're better than everyone else.
- Scheissen, on 04/19/2008, -4/+9aww an angry socialist doesn't want to accept reality that his utopia has failed.
go to China, socialist- robthom, on 04/19/2008, -3/+4I'd love to, just to get away from you rabid sheep.
- nickcommie, on 04/19/2008, -1/+3"go to China, socialist"
...or Venezuela or any number of Scandinavian countries... dumbass. Go read a book, that is, other than a U.S. history book. - DanOnTheMoon, on 04/20/2008, -0/+1Or just wait for President Obama.
- mllawso, on 04/19/2008, -4/+6You're an idiot.
- robthom, on 04/19/2008, -4/+5Go ***** your sister.
- DanOnTheMoon, on 04/20/2008, -1/+1I already did ***** his sister, she's as loose as a basketball hoop.
- mllawso, on 04/20/2008, -0/+1Maybe when I'm done with yours.
- robthom, on 04/19/2008, -4/+5Go ***** your sister.
- ThatEvilGuy, on 04/19/2008, -3/+4Leave the Americans alone, they've got the moron of a president they elected, twice, to worry about.
- mllawso, on 04/20/2008, -0/+2Actually, he once only elected the last time. Which is actually really sad.
- jetboyterp, on 04/19/2008, -8/+9Well, where IS the Soviet Union? Communism fails. Thank you Ronald Reagan!
- wangdang, on 04/19/2008, -2/+31www.aboynamed.su ?
- popltree2, on 04/19/2008, -0/+3You win +1000 internets.
- stalefries, on 04/19/2008, -0/+3pleasedont.su
- Atomic1fire, on 04/20/2008, -0/+3And for a martial Arts store
Jujit.su
- Atomic1fire, on 04/20/2008, -0/+3And for a martial Arts store
- Owwmykneecap, on 04/19/2008, -5/+1...and how come Batman doesn't dance anymore?
- lilmoder, on 04/19/2008, -0/+6I want .uucp domain for my site! That was domain of first email server in Latvia (from 1990 I think...) :D
- smek2, on 04/19/2008, -1/+12Hahaha, you fools! They tricked you into believing that the Soviet Union is no more! But in reality, the cold war never really ended. It is just a deceit of cosmic proportions.
- ErikHK, on 04/19/2008, -0/+10Socialist utopia?? I somewhat consider myself to be a socialist, and this feels like a punch in the face... No real communist nor socialist considers the Soviet Union to have been a utopia.
- deiphobus, on 04/19/2008, -2/+4FOR THE UNION!
- firepowered, on 04/20/2008, -1/+5"The Soviet Union may be in the dustbin of history,"
OMG EXCELLENT COMMENT. If anyone knows anything about Bolshevik Russia, Trostsky said "Off you go to where you belong, the dustbin of history!" - strictnein, on 04/20/2008, -0/+2How is this a loophole?
"A loophole allowed existing ".su" addresses like "lenin.su" to assign subdomains such as "vladimir.lenin.su." As a result, the online population at ".su" kept growing throughout the 1990s _ although not nearly as fast as ".ru.""
Subdomains are a loophole in DNS? - OropheR, on 04/20/2008, -0/+2.su sounds very nice. As good as .com. It could be the new hype in the coming years.
- PeachCobbler, on 04/20/2008, -0/+1Yum, tirami.su
- pepoton, on 04/20/2008, -0/+0Communism was the most criminal ideology in History (100 million of people killed)
Domain .su should be forbidden.
