Have to wonder how much that domain name is worth...?
- cameronbrown 7y ago
  Probably expensive, but I doubt it's actually worth anything. I reckon it's much harder to build a brand when you start with a generic word.

    Burger.com would be the brand
  - tyrust 7y ago
    You're probably right, but Burger Records is a moderately successful independent record label.

    I can see it work for a delivery service type thing. For a few years, a large platform here just used "pizza.de".

        I sorta knew that. But it still feels weird for dollar amounts. As 25.000 looks a lot like 25.00 ($25 dollars, 0 cents).

        From that document:> and some countries separate thousands groups with a thin space Thin space (U+2009) is also how you are supposed to do it when using the SI unit system, according to the SI spec. For the decimal separator, the SI standard is to use which of '.' or ',' is customary.

        Doesn't make it smart.

      Knowing GoDaddy, $25 is closer to what they'd offer the domain owner for it. $25k would be the re-sale price.

  Ah, the time when you could actually "master" all the web technologies to keep a website up and running...

    There's no reason why you can't slap some CSS (flexbox, cssgrid!) with some ES6 JavaScript linked on an index.html on a Netlify server... Loads super fast.

He is a member of the Cherokee Nation with interests ranging from model railroading to fireflies. And he puts it all out there on his personal webpage, updated regularly since 1996. There was a time when it was normal to stumble upon pages like this one.

To this day I still visit www.scaruffi.com to read his opinions about music - the layout hasn’t changed since the 90s or even the 80s for some pages.
