Yet more domain name fun.
Yet more domain name fun. I decided instead of typing random names into a domain search engine, it would be nice to automate the task. I took the Unix system wordlist - which contains around 45000 words, and stripped out everything greater than six characters. Then I looked them all up. Seems like somebody has done this before. There were only about twenty 'dictionary' words under six characters that were unclaimed as domains. All but one were exactly six characters. And they aren't all exactly what I would call dictionary words. Boarsh, pithed, that kind of thing. If you're looking for my list you'll have to wait. I've given you enough ideas already. I'm currently reviewing the list to see if there's anything (or a close variant) that might be worth real money and claim them. Short dictionary words carry a premium price, though I doubt I could get very much for Boarsh and pithed.

Space: the final frontier. These are the voyages of the starship Enterprise.
Its five-year mission: to explore strange new worlds; to seek out new life
and new civilizations; to boldly go where no man has gone before.
