lol, when you discover c__t.com links to a wikipedia page.
To save people a click, http://cunt.com redirects to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeremy_Corbyn .

I don't think you need to censor yourself here...
Coming from New Zealand, "cunt" is about as bad as "jerk" or "moron". I saw John McWhorter discuss that "cunt" is one of two unspeakable words to Americans. -- I think McWhorter's discusison is pretty interesting: https://archive.md/ImjgJ

At least they did something with it. One of my domain names has been on sale for 10.000$ by a squatter for a few years after a billing issue.
That would bother me too since they're only buying it to resell. Over a decade ago I emailed a domainer/squatter to ask about a domain that matches my sister's married surname. It was the ccTLD version, not even the .com. At the time, they told me they didn't accept offers of less than $2k, so I offered them $100 as an insult and forgot about it. 8 years later I get a random email asking me if I'm still interested in…

I get the distinct feeling that website might be very useful prior art in any forthcoming teledildonics patent cases. Also, the "box cover" art is amazing . From their FAQ: > Can I use FuckU-FuckMe for anal or oral sex? > >Certainly! But be sure to set the preferences to oral/anal for best results. Ensure first that these acts are legal in your state. We cannot be held responsible for the legal consequences of extrac…

I get that swearing is less severe than the US and that "cunt" isn't any worse than other swear words in NZ (it's the same in Scotland). But is it really on the same level as "jerk"? Like could a kid in school say someone was being a "cunt" without being reprimanded by their teacher?

Imagine if registration had stayed free, there'd be no domain squatters, and that cool idea you had that only works if the domain is available would be possible!
Blackrock and Bloomberg would be squatting on the entire web, and we'd be back to using BBS / newsgroups to get away from them.

While this would work, Internic would need to share the same HOSTS file. I don't remember a global shared HOSTS like that. When Windows 95 came out I created an online shared cdplayer.ini where everyone added their own track info and we intended to create a file that had info for every CD in the world (this was before CDDB was invented). Sadly the project self-destructed because W95 had a hard 64Kb limit on .ini file…
No, there was a global hosts file prior to DNS — see RFCs 811[1] and 953[2]. [1] — https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc811 [2] - https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc953

an ol' buddy of mine has always claimed to have owned apple.com back in those days but he said they just took it from him one day. He would have been pretty young then, like 10 (and, yeah, that sounds right for him). Maybe he lost it because they started charging! haha.
A former colleague (who I don't know personally, but I worked with people who did) owned sex.com for a while. Even if the stories I've heard about what it was like to own that domain were exaggerated, it was pretty insane the lengths that people would go to in order to get a domain. Basically another gold rush, but with marginally less violence against those who squatted a claim.
Funny enough, dotcoms weren't as prized in the early 90s as they are now. All the c00l kids on the Internet had dotnets, so my first domain registration was eschaton.net.
