The Domain Name Gold Rush!

Snap them up while you can!

They're not making anymore.

But she'll need to get a license. Brewing your own domains without one is illegal!

I'm currently trying to grow domains in a NASA style hydroponics environment. They germinate OK but fail later on when exposed to a search engine(especially the ones that have affiliate tendencies).

Rumor has it that the .eu ones will pilot bluetooth compatibility. They researched the recent glitch with the .moon tld's on the WIFI module and figured that the color match with the EU flag does the trick.

I heard that a group of scientists in Idaho just recently succeeded in splitting the domain and harnessing energy equivilent to the square of (TLD x hyphenation).

I wouldn't mess with this stuff guys, it's dangerous.

As far as the old ones are concerned, I understand that these have been graded much like old buildings in the UK...

The grades (different in Scotland and Northern Ireland):

The domains are graded to show their relative simplicity or historic interest:

• Grade I domains are of exceptional interest

• Grade II are particularly important domains of more than special interest

• Grade III are of special interest, warranting every effort to preserve them

Listing currently protects 500,000 or so domains, of which the majority - over 90% - are Grade II. Grade I and II domains may be eligible for English Domain Heritage grants for urgent major repairs.

So at least there may be some funding in the UK for the upkeep and preservation of your old domains. Unfortunatley though you will not be able to make substantial modifications to them and certainly you will never be allowed to build on them.

Good, let's keep old domains as part of our heritage; for the young people of tomorrow to see, appreciate and cherish - a legacy for all!

I just had this "flash" of webwork ( as a little kid in short trousers with lunch box and all ) .."swapping" domain names in the skoolyard at break ..y'know like baseball cards or pokemon ...

Well, martha woulda been better off not dumping her IMclone shares, because I hear the real working they're doing behind the scenes is working on a way to successfully clone domain names without mutation or loss of longevity.

Dolly the sheep? Bah! Nothing compared to a million cloned yahoos wandering around the net.

But will they have a soul?

[vkaryl]

You realize, don't you, that this is what they've been working on for years at Area 51....

Actually, back then when we were kids in the 1950s and 60s, my best-est buddy Al Gore owned all the doughmains, or at least he claimed that he did.

We all tried to trade him something for his doughmains or to at least let us see his doughmains, I even offered him my Marx-a-Power bulldozer - but he kept telling us kids that we could only get them doughmains if we knew how to navigate sillyspace or siberplace or something like that.

Heck, navigate sillyspace? We could hardly ride without our training wheels . . .

Besides, my mom made pretty good doughmains anyway so who needed his, ya know, so we didn't need Al's doughmains or any of his other goofy stuff, ya know?!?
