The correct fix for this is:

browser.fixup.alternate.enabled -> false

keyword.enabled -> false stop the seach engine lookup.

In Firefox' titlebar enter 'about:config' (no quotes) then in the
filter type 'keyword.enabled' and double-click that entry to toggle it

This depends on the behavior of your local resolver, and probably
on how Firefox is configured as well. http://tm/ works fine for me.

So a little more testing using firefox as an application gives us some
interesting results.  Using the .TM TLD I entered http://tm/ into my

Well - like I said below - it is not recommended to simply use http://tld/ -
however there are a few IANA TLDs that in fact are setup with A records
associated with TLDs.  Just did a test out of curiosity and found the

Thats incorrect.  It does work but is not recommended because it does not
always work depending on the application.  If the application relies solely
on gethostbyname then it will probably work - but some applications do a bit
more checking of the domain name and not all applications will allow it.

Hi ozgurs,

can you give me your address so I can settup a zone for you?

e.g.

ozgurs  A   127.0.0.1

Then you have the proof that it is working.

Please have a look at

http://www.cesidianroot.net/

to find how to settup your DNS for the test.

If you have a dynamic ip address things are a little bit
more complicated but can be solved too.

Unifiedroot is a scam.  I suggest you do some due diligence on them before

Unified Root - Domain Configuration Issue

2009-01-15 Thread ozgurs
We want to buy a unified root domain,
but they say we can not use the domain only one word.
like
ozgurs

so that it opens
http://ozgurs


but we have to use a connected word to this TLD, like
example.ozgurs

here, my quetion comes! :)

i bet with my friend that we can not use the domain itself.
NOW
I NEED A PROOF :>

We want to know the reason why we can not use TLD alone itself,
without a word in connected to it.



( I mean: instead of the URL



ozgurs



we have to use



example.ozgurs

)





We want the reasons, with exact documents (for example a university’s
DNS managerment document from their site link or a scientific article
regarding this issue (about the must of usage and reasons why we must
use a word connected to the domain.)





Note: We will buy these products after we are satisified with the
explanations and documents’ reliability about the explained issue
above. (the usages, rules of domains, configurations, DNS)

I mean I have to prove this that it is impossible to use the domain as
one word (like ozgurs) with very reliable indications and strongly
that no one can deny it any way of idea)
