To say the least, I was suprised...

Everytime I see things like that, I wonder; how do companies get domains like that

Pretty easy actually. They just go to a domain registrar and register it. For .com, .net and .org domains, there is not oversight, no checking to see that you are indeed representative of the company whose name you just stole. After the fact, they may challenge your claim, but its still first come first serve. I could register drzer0.com and put up a site that says ANYTHING. Its called domain squatting.

And that's nasty for people who have legitimate reasons for wanting certain domains. www.hlp.com,  for example, is taken.

Someone did that to me with 404error, actually. Some outfit in Sydney, Oz. had taken 404error.org and 404error.net and just sat on them. They never did anything with them. I waited and waited and the first time they failed to renew I snapped them up. *heh*

Really? Nasty Aussies, that's a rarity - I'm in right mind to go and smash some servers up   But that's good that you got the domain eventually. Funny stuff.

"...The quintessential quality of our age is that of dreams coming true. Just think of it. For centuries we have dreamt of flying; recently we made that come true: we have always hankered for speed; now we have speeds greater than we can stand: we wanted to speak to far parts of the Earth; we can: we wanted to explore the sea bottom; we have: and so  on, and so on: and, too, we wanted the power to smash our enemies utterly; we have it. If we had truly wanted peace, we should have had that as well. But true peace has never been one of the genuine dreams - we have got little further than preaching against war in order to appease our consciences. The truly wishful dreams, the many-minded dreams are now irresistible - they become facts." - 'The Outward Urge' by John Wyndham

"The very essence of tolerance rests on the fact that we have to be intolerant of intolerance. Stretching right back to Kant, through the Frankfurt School and up to today, liberalism means that we can do anything we like as long as we don't hurt others. This means that if we are tolerant of others' intolerance - especially when that intolerance is a call for genocide - then all we are doing is allowing that intolerance to flourish, and allowing the violence that will spring from that intolerance to continue unabated." - Bren Carlill

See? I feel ripped off...  

 www.hlp.com

 www.hlp.net

Luckily, .org isn't taken. But we wouldn't get one yet anyway, cos it's nice to have the 3dap.com bit in our address - they're really good hosts.
