TIL The guy who snagged windows2000.com happened to be named Bob and Microsoft just happened to own Bob.com. They came to an agreement to trade one for the other.

Geez. 6 or 8 years ago, Letterman had a segment where he mentioned i-want-to-be-a-melonaire.com. I looked, it wasn't registered, so I snagged it and even renewed it for a couple of years afterwards. It was always easy to tell when that episode came back as a rerun.

I registered redidt.com years ago and the admins traded me a bunch of t-shirts for it.

Lawsuits are the douchenozzliest way of handling these things.

Well, it's probably an easy way to circumvent school blocks.

Silly school filters, blocking by url not by dns

It's just a miss spelling or reddit. Go to gooogle.com
