I tried to register a Year 2038 related domain in the late 90's. Anything good was taken.
I assume the more interesting aspect of Y2038 will be the societal... Will we all be stocking our bunkers with 5 gallon pails of dried pinto beans and arming our personal attack drones?
I'd like to think we'll be a bit wiser, but somehow doubt it. Software is full of date related bugs and fails all the time. The world didn't end before, during, or after Y2K. I don't think it's ending in 2038.
- umsm 13y agoI dont think you looked hard enough. :) The late 90s to about 2004 most good domains were being registered. Now we have to settle for foreign TLDs.
- nwh 13y agoI wouldn't worry too much. Soon we'll have .horse and .melbourne, all our TLD problems will be behind us.
- cleaver 13y agoI'll be snapping up 2038.horse for sure. Once all our computer controlled hybrid vehicles stop functioning, I predict a booming market for horses.
- wcfields 13y agoI like to think there's someone in NBC's Standards and Practices department who has a Google news alert set for when the ".fart" domain is announced.
- astrodust 13y agoIn the late 1990s you could still get domains with the names of major corporations because they were asleep at the wheel. In the early 1990s you could get four letter domains and you could get them for free. There was no registration fee until around 1995.
