How many people's domain names are short enough to fit on a license plate, including the '.com' or '.org'?

I normally try to keep my personal life out of this 'blog, but this is kinda cool I think... I'd actually like to have this license plate someday (though I think my state of Michigan doesn't allow seven letters):

So, everybody else is posting their experiences with Manila. I thought something a little different was in order, so here are my Manila Experiences. Read these if you're thinking about getting a Manila site, but think you don't need something that is designed for people who aren't too experienced with the web. I was surprised by the results, you will be too.

I've been waiting the past couple of days for just this sort of article on the latest Denial of Service attacks. "FBI officials don't appear to know much of anything, except that they desperately need heaps more money, and that Western Civilisation desperately needs their increasing intervention in all matters digital.

Want to accomplish something (skipping the debate as to the goodness or badness of the something)? Ban a behavior, like user tracking. Don't go after the hammer, go after the idiot beating heads in with it. Tools aren't the problem; uses are.

Privacy bill would control 'cookies': Sen. Robert Torricelli, D-N.J., says he wants to control networks' use of "cookies," or digital ID tags, dropped on Net users' hard drives. OK, great, we've got people who want to do something about the privacy issues on the Internet. Is Sen. Robert Torricelli, or any of his staff, aware that Cookies aren't the problem, tracking people is. Banning cookies isn't any good, Doubleclick can still track you by IP address, they just won't be able to trick your machine into doing the hard work for them.
