As far as poems go, it's not too bad.

I buy x.com and y.com
If I buy hosting it only applies to x.com or y.com
I can't use the same hosting with two directories for the 2 domains. The most I can do is have hosting for x.com and a redirect from y.com to somewhere on x.com

You could, it is just not the way hosting companies sell their product to the public.

This.  I have two sites running on the physical hardware that serves Languish.  If you ware willing to lease a Virtual Private Server and do all the systems administration yourself, you can as well.  Web servers support what is known as virtual hosts.  It allows multiple domain names to resolve to the same IP address.  When the web server gets a request it decides what content to serve based on the name associated with it. When you buy the super-cheap "shared hosting" the hosting provider is setting up their system this way with your domain name as an entry in the virtual hosts table.

North Carolina, North America, The North (Union), North Korea, and North Dakota.
The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.

Interesting article in the Sunday NYT about the shortage of pilots caused by the increase in required flight time from 250 hours to 1,500 hours.  This has meant that pilots have to work in some shit job like crop dusting before they can qualify for a still shitty job at a regional carrier.  Candidates are deciding the road to that 130K major carrier job is too long.

What about New Zealand's North Island and Northumbria?

Just finished my taxes.  :D  I started them in early February but it appeared I wasn't going to be getting much back so I lost interest.  Now tonight I realized I had missed some of my big deductions and misunderstood a credit and now I am getting a bunch back.  Should have persisted back in February.

It's 9:28 PM.  I can't find any of my tax shit.   :lol:

It was just clear enough to faintly see the International Space Station orbit overhead tonight.  Last night it was clear as day.  Pretty cool.
