Click here.

lol at the domain name of that actual site. Would provide a good opportunity for typo-squatting

Also note that it took well over 2 years for the first 100 domain names to be registered. Interesting (if that sort of thing interests you of course)

 

[Maccy]

Pretty random, some I haven't heard of!

Funny domain title though yeh!

The three that stand out for me are:

Lockheed, Northrop and Boeing.

 

[Richiev4]

I would off thought the IBM and Intel would have been higher

The three that stand out for me are:

Lockheed, Northrop and Boeing.

Not Apple, 3COM, Cisco, HP, IBM, Intel, AMD ?

 

[SpeedFreak]

Considering sex.com is the most valuable now, I'm surprised it took more than 2 years for somebody to catch on.

Geeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeek!

I wonder how many of those don't exist any more? (Obviously can't be bothered to check myself)

Geeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeek!

That's a strong word to be bandying around these parts

Fair point

stargate.com?

what year was the film out, mid 90s?

Perhaps it's related to the book by Pauline Gedge published in 1982? It could also just be a coincidence.

Yeah, but at the speeds they had in those days, it would have been faster to go down to the store and grab a magazine.

 

[Slogan]

Hmm, no (word I'm not allowed).

 

[lolwtfbbq]

I just have to LOL at the url of that website

 

[Visage]

BBN were the company that did all of the early software that ran Arpanet.

Lockheed, Northrop and Boeing.

My dad used to work for all 3 of them

 

[DRZ]

Hardly a list of surprising names there!

 

[ste_bla]

STARGATE.COM

Ohh looked and its not what i thought

 

[malfunkshun]

Stargate.com registered 8years before the film was released, I wonder what that site was about. < MEH beaten but that cannot be the original stargate.com since the colocation company was founded in 1989 (well it can but its not likely)
That list and the list of first .edu and .org are on wiki....
