No. I'm going tomorrow afternoon to see what the hype is about, grab

You can do this using GNU chmod.
chmod -R u+X path
This will tell chmod to set +x on all the directories, or any file

The semicolon marks the end of the chmod command. You have to escape it
so bash doesn't interpret it as the end of the find

Yes you do need a name to register the domain.. doesn't have to be a company
(P/L), just a business.
NetRegistry probably go through melbourneIT.. so they probably add their bit
on.. just get the best price.
Process takes 2 hours or 2 days.. depending how much you want to pay.. 2
days is around
MelbIT is INWW (Internet Names Worldwide), and has exclusive rights to the
sale of .com.au domain registrations worldwide. Shop around. If you buy it
off anyone else, they're only a reseller for MelbIT.
