Discretia on Prison Break
… as viagra-like pills. Hi there, it’s a long time since my last post and this one is not going to be related to IT. As I say in the title, discretia was mentioned in yesterday’s episode of the famous TV series Prison Break. They made it up as some kind of pills, you can see it in the next screenshot.
As you know, I own the discretia.org domain name and I like it. I remember how I got to it, and it sure doesn’t sound like a pill’s name to me. I was looking for a name for a supposed computer security company and I even used it in an exercise at the university :-).
By the way, the discretia.com domain was already bought in 2004 by one of those companies who try to resell it afterwards, so that’s with whom I’d have to fight if I want it in the future. And now it comes the IT-part of the post (I was lying about this post not being IT-related… sorry).
If you want to know who owns a domain name, there is a whois service and some other useful links for that matter at internic.net. And as a matter of fact I can check that my domain is not owned by me, but my hosting company. And it is also marked as Client Transfer Prohibited, which means that they locked it so I cannot transfer it to another register. Nice uh?

Curious indeed!!! It doesn’t sound to me as a name for viagra pills either. Does these pills already exist? It may be interesting to read their differences with viagra.
Anyway it’s difficult to pick a name, you never know what can be behind it.

They just made it up, but it’s funny that they chose that name :-).
