Is Domain Speculation Bust?
The latest Netcraft survey is more interesting than usual, because it reports a drop in the total number of registered domain names, as well as a decreasing number of sites reachable overall by the survey. It's been a traumatic year in the tech world, but the drop in domain names goes back to domain name buy-ups of 1999 (and looks like it will accelerate the same way domain speculation did in 2000). All is not gloom, though, and the number of registered domain names is not the same as the number of active sites. The Netcraft site points out that "as domains bought for speculative reasons are abandoned, we can expect a higher proportion of sites to be active." Read the rest of the survey report for more interesting information on the state of the domain world.
And can I have it, I've got dibs on hotmail and playboy?
You mean like business.com and internet.com?

Oh and for best potential, I elect Ralph "JewHater" Nader. Congratulations trolls for getting 66% of the KDE article comments modded to -1.
Shows how much you know. They were just one band of many to cover that song.
Some of my nominations..
-Most hated Slashdot Janitor: Michael Sims, by far, over Jon Katz. Talk about a real asshole.
-Slashdot Janitor Most Likely to Get Fired: a tossup between Michael and Katz, I would like to see both get tossed.
-Best CrapFlood Material: ASCII goatse.cx art, it is just hilarious to see the lameness filter get continually violated like CmdrTaco's mother. Though it seems to have been updated lately.
I wish my host would keep my site up. its been unavailable since new year's. If they blame Y2K, I'm dropping them.
...All I can say is that my life is pretty strange...
CmdrTaco is so disgustingly fat. It makes me sick.
that guy that did the goatse.cx ASCII art 6 first posts in a row
hey, that was me! My best goatse.cx was probably that anniversary of quicktime story a month ago. First post and ascii goatse.cx crapflood in a very popular story! nothing beats that.
...
A guy I know started up a pr0n pda business, he now has offers from most of the big porn companies to sell services repackaged with thier brands. He hosts his stuff at an adult hosting company, he has a sys-admin who keeps the php/bsd servers up. He hired some programmer to write the programs, and templates. Now he goes off and resells the shit out of it.
Basically he just buys and sells, he really doesnt create anything.
I would add to this, but I've already lost my only ever positive mod point, and I don't want my karma to be negative.
I made money off building a system that lets a customer track all his domains and even redirect them at will.
150K+ domains and counting. He's a dumbfuck though and I wish that industry would just collapse so I wouldn't have to deal with his stupid questions (ie- "What is DNS?", "Will you install FrontPage extensions for our 1337 developer?").
Fuck domain squatters, most of them are idiots anyways.
Many wanted their own website to be a rock star. Others did it to be a pr0n star.
Then they realized there was no glory, just a bunch of wankers.
That all the posts to 'Ask Chris "Skammah" Mckinvey (or whatever his name is)' that are 0 or -1 have been hidden away. Interesting.
This looks sorta bad with you posting the poll, but I honestly have to go with the turd report as the best troll of 2001. BTW, I'm dying to know.. do you use a rubrick to rate your turds, or is it purely subjective?
You confirm this by replying, moderating, reading or anything to do with this message
best troll: the turd report, with w.i.p.o troll coming in a distant second.
You guys aren't trolls. You're crapflooders. Trolls write intelligent comments with just enough misinformation to get lots of replies. The best trolls regularly get over 20 replies to their comments and modded up to +5.
You guys couldn't get a +5 score or 20+ replies to save your life. YOU ARE NOT TROLLS, no matter how much you want to be. All you are are stupid juvenile teenagers that stopped growing mentally sometime between second and third grade.
To: Microsoft Lawyers, Inc.
From: Azathoth, Nyarlathotep and Hastur, Elder Attorneys
Sirs:
Our agents among the mortal herd have brought to Our attention your recent product entitled Windows '95. Therefore We now give you statutory notice of intent of proceedings to be taken against Microsoft by the Many-Angled Ones.
With this suit We will show that Windows '95, and to a lesser extent all of the Microsoft range of products, infringe upon the recognised "look-and-feel" of the Elder Gods, for the following reasons:
Windows '95 is a crawling abomination from the darkest pits of Hell; No man can be in its presence for too long without being driven into gibbering insanity; A cult who worship it exist in secret amongst the mortal herd; Those who associate with it for too long develop common physical characteristics, to wit: pale, clammy skin, bulging eyes, generally unkempt physical appearance, tendency towards nocturnal living, change in diet to that which normal men do not eat (in your case tacos, burgers and Jolt Coke; in Ours, human flesh, Fungi of Yuggoth and the blood of Alien Gods); Mysterious tomes that purport to explain this phenomenon are reputed to exist; they are bound in an unnatural substance and only available at a terrible cost to the user.The Microsoft range of products seek to utterly dominate the world, and force all who dwell there to live in eternal damnation.
As you can see, Our case is very strong, especially when you consider that most judges prefer not to have chittering things with tentacles for faces scoop out their brains and eat them.
We hope that you will consider these points carefully and settle out of court, since it is not Our intention to have your senior partners spend the rest of their mercifully short lives under heavy sedation in a maximum security psychiatric hospital. After all, it was the Lords of the Outer Planes who gave humanity lawyers in the first place.
Respectfully yours,
[Oddly disturbing squiggle in some sort of ichor]

Shut up, Kevin.

Is it really easier to get someone to lend you a million than is it to get them to lend you a thousand? Somewhere, in bussiness land, it must be nothing to spend $7.5 million dollars on something as hair brained as a search engine's name.
DMCA, Hollings, Palladium. What might have sounded like paranoia is now common sense.
This may be a bit off-topic, but if domain names are supposed to go back into the public domain after the original registrants?
Network Solutions lists an owner of a few domain names I've been eyeing as expiring over three months ago, but they are still not available to be registered? Anyone have any ideas on how long a registrar can hoard a lapsed/expired domain name? Is there any process that I can pursue with ICANN to get some satisfaction on the matter?
