That's not what I meant, I meant that if there is a company called flex, they should be able to expect to on something like www.flex-shop.com in the future. I don't want an argument and I do agree with what you are saying in most places.

sure, and I have a company called "Baker restaurant supplies Ltd", I want the domain baker.com. So you, Jeff Baker, aren't allowed to register that as your personal site, because some company might in the future want that name.
As people are clearly allowed to attack me but I'm not allowed to defend myself, I no longer post to this site.

I propose as a solution, more high level domain groups!

Or even customized ones:

Can't get your hands on the domain 'http://adobe.com' for your circus troupe's homepage because some backwater company's got it already? Why not get 'http://acrobat.adobe'?!

Every name available for a 30-second free-for-all!

...

It would probably cripple the Internet ^_~

that would make the internet just a bit harder to use because instead of expecting that most website are theirname.com you would have to start being creative in the address bar...

They are bringing in the .xxx domain though for adult content sites, or atleast they were going to.

It's cheap and easy to set up a company in most countries, and a fake office in another country is almost as easy (most countries require just a PO box number for you to register as a company).

The one question you should not ask when teaching a new language structure is "Do you understand?". Do you understand?
