That's another thing. You'd think that the owner of the domain "wikipaedia.org" (Martin Schlabeck, Nuernberg, Denmark) would be all over that, doing something useful or lucrative with that name. But AFAIK there's never been a webserver on that domain - it's basically being squatted.

Surely he could at least host some free porn on it, or something? Why are people so unambitious these days, anyway? huh.gif
