Again, that's "fully-qualified domain name"..."rudd.cc" is not a fully-qualified name.
Show me the rfc which states that rudd.cc is not a fully qualified domain name.
For example, RFC 819 says that a name is partially qualified if it omits common ancestors between two names (ancestors starting with the root domain up to their common sub-domains). Otherwise it is fully qualified.
Thus, rudd.cc is fully qualified because it does not omit any ancestors. It contains the full name of the host, all the way to the root domain. (well, ok. "rudd.cc." is fully qualified; "rudd.cc" omits the root domain ... but aside from that one quirk, show me an RFC which states that it's not a FQDN)
