11/7    For whatever reason, I got interested in registering http://weresorry.com
        only to discover that http://buydomains.com already owns it and won't sell
        it for less than $688 and possibly more than $10k.  What the hell?
        How long has this been sort of business been legit, and does a
        company like this actually make any real money?  weresorry.info is
        still available for a mere $16 at http://godaddy.com
        \_ every time I search for a domain name that ends up available,
           the next day it is taken and then owned by http://buydomains.com
           so don't search their website for available domains until
           you are sure you want to buy it.
        \_ Time for a class action lawsuit of some sort. This practice
           should be illegal.
                \_ Or you could just write a script to search for all sorts
                   of crazy <DEAD>495252349assmonkey1231244.com<DEAD> domains
                   \_ Then might as well just get a static IP without a domain
                      name.
                      \_ I think the idea was, assuming http://buydomains.com has
                         some sort of automated BUY script, you could
                         trick it into buying all sorts of stupid domains.
                         \_ Ahh, I see.  Good revenge.
        \_ I just searched for <DEAD>humaninnards.com<DEAD> on buydomains, and it's
           available.  We'll see in a few days if it's still available.
        \_ http://weresorry.com was registered 8/29/04.  When were you searching
           for that domain name?
           \_ Today, and I didn't use http://buydomains.com until after I'd discovered
              they'd bought it.
        \_ I just searched for buydomainsnow2004|5.com and it's available.
           Let's see if it's available tomorrow. You guys, feel free to
           add to this list. As of Monday, they don't yet exist:
           <DEAD>buydomainsnow2004.com<DEAD>
           <DEAD>georgebushdomain.com<DEAD>
           <DEAD>freerepublicworld.com<DEAD>
           <DEAD>republicanheaven.com<DEAD>
           <DEAD>republicandoll.com<DEAD>
           <DEAD>republicanbelle.com<DEAD>
           \_ I wonder whether they only register domains after a number of
              searches are done on them?  -John
           \_ The problem with your experiment is that some nut on the
              motd might just decide to pay for all those domains now just
              to fuck with you.
           \_ No match for "BUSH2024.COM".
              All the ones up to 2024 are taken though.
        \_ <DEAD>jennabushfanclub.com<DEAD> still available, let's see tomorrow

8/25    What's the best way to get a domain name that is about to expire?
        \_ It's called backordering.  It used to be fixed priced but now
           they're trying to auction them.  Still a good deal though.

8/3     VMWare + Windows XP + Validation question. I need to test stuff with
        Service Pack 3 installed. I have a valid key that I own (yeah yeah I
        actually *bought* a copy, please don't flame me for supporting evil
        M$). Is it possible to register the key once, and then duplicate it
        for testing purposes?  Will Windows or Microsoft detect copies and
        disable the rest the copies?

7/9     is godaddy still the place for domain names? anything cheaper?
        \_ I use <DEAD>nearlyfreespeech.net<DEAD> since they're really awesome. It's worth
           paying for a decent registrar. Also, I use Sitelutions for the DNS for
           the domain, since it lets you have an enormous amount of control over
           your domain's DNS.
           \_ listen buddy, tab is EIGHT spaces not FOUR ok?

5/5     Any idea why the AMD only added 8 more registers with the AMD64 arch.?
        Why 16 registers and not, say, 32?
        \_ To double the accessible register count, you need one more bit
           in the instruction stream _per_ register field.  x86 instruction
           set is already packed like rat's nest as is.

4/6     im considering making my Gmail account my default email for
        all my online banking stuff and domain registration and bill pay.
        Is there any anecdotal evidence of people getting their google
        account hacked?  After I do this change, Google will basically
        own me completely.

4/9     dig txt http://domain.com only returns one TXT record even though domain
        has more than one.  How do I see them all? tnx MOTD!
        \\_wow, I could not have picked a worse example.. "dig txt http://domain.com"
        actually DOES show more than one.  how come it doesn't work with
        mydomain.
        \_ Show us your zone file. You probably did something wrong.
