I agree that an off-by-one error is not a huge deal in most cases, but cryptography is one of those places where you cannot get it wrong . The programmers, or a employee well-versed in cryptography, should have ran a Chi-Squared test imm

I hope that ICANN accepts a small amount of these. Isn't this the point of subdomains? Why can't ABC just use foo.abc.com (or foo.abc.go.com) instead of foo.abc? The new TLDs are confusing and I'm sure many people will just type in .com as

I'd say no; the mean poverty fraction is 30.91%, with median 28.25% and standard deviation 19.05%. [0] Afghanistan has a poverty rate of 36% (as of 2008). [1] So it's definitely above the average. [0] http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=p
