Domains May Disappear After Search

Ponca City, We Love You writes "Daily Domainer has a story alleging that there may be a leak that allows domain tasters to intercept, analyze and register your domain ideas in minutes. 'Every time you do a whois search with any service, you run a risk of losing your domain,' says one industry insider. ICANN's Security and Stability Advisory Committee (SSAC ) has not been able to find hard evidence of Domain Name Front Running but they have issued an advisory (pdf) for people to come forward with hard evidence it is happening. Here is how domain name research theft crimes can occur and some tips to avoiding being a victim."

If true, it's pretty pathetic that they need to do that in order to make money.

There are only two activities I know of that needs that kind of ready cash. From Uncyclopedia:

So why yo be lookin up crack when yo can take it, huh? What yo wan' look up Crack for? Look, yo just check out this free blast! You no be redding this piece of shit no morl afta this blast. Yo be coming back for mor' right? A dollar fo' blast, or a bump for $5! Am I right? No shit, man, you get the best high with my crack. Its like no like any other shit on this motherfucking planet! I gonna rip yo off man, ya gonna be on a $200 day habit, that bad you wan' my crack shit! Oh, never mind, go on, read on...

The other is oh shit somebody took out the article about huffing kittens! Oh wait, here it is. Man those orange ones are GREAT man...

Excessive huffing has been known to produce undesirable side effects, including addiction, damaged sinuses, corrupted brains, which may lead to someone thinking they're something they aren't, and, in some cases, death. It is a general rule of thumb that anyone who huffs more than 3 kittens a day is an addict. Veteran huffers often caution against huffing more than a couple kittens per day as overdosing can be very unpleasant and quite dangerous.

FUCK I'm up to three GROWN CATS per day. Where can I go for rehab! Oooh look something shiney... what were we talking about again?
