milk.com

This isn't at all the same—this is just one guy who registered a domain forever ago and actually uses it for a bunch of random things [0] and doesn't really want to sell it but would if he got a good enough offer. Beer.com is literally just a contact form advertising a whole bunch of squatted domains which all just redirect to that contact form and are all owned by an investment firm called afterTHOUGHT, Inc. There's no early internet charm, just pure capitalism waiting for a buyer. [0] https://milk.com/

The Artist Formerly And Then Again Known As Prince had his own single-character font just for rendering His Symbol, and his PR company send around copies of a floppy disk with Windows and Mac versions of the font, along with these instructions for writing about him: https://www.milk.com/wall-o-shame/bruce_font.html http://anildash.com/2014/06/my-favorite-floppy-of-all-time.html https://parkerhiggins.net/2013/01/writing-the-prince-symbol-in-unicode…

This is also for the mods, who might wish to change the title: The title is taken from the link near the bottom at http://milk.com/ So, it is in a sense the original, correct title. If you really want to know whether the domain is actually for sale or not, ask the owner.

http://milk.com/faq is one of my favourite pages on the web, and has been for 15 or so years. Moo!

Somewhat off topic, but every year or so I check the domain milk.com to see if the owner ever sold it. Just checked again. He's been sitting on it for 17 years now with the following message: http://milk.com/value/

All the articles at https://milk.com/wall-o-shame/ are a goldmine. I prefer the one of a student called ''Missile'' Seitz buying a missile for nothing, and then didn't have to pay income taxes for several years

This story is under the title "Government Surplus" and is indeed quite a tale (and on point for MIT students). https://milk.com/wall-o-shame/government_surplus.html

This one's fun too: https://milk.com/wall-o-shame/two_dollars.html

Not related to this story, but this one https://milk.com/true-stories/stupid_computer_users.txt was hilarious :)

https://milk.com/value/ Also the server header is "lactoserv"

https://milk.com/value/ I think he’s aiming a bit high with 10 milly. I’d take 1 or 5.

I believe this was one of, if not the first site to implement a barcode/UPC generator. Current iteration here: https://milk.com/barcode/

Don't miss his responses to random misguided people: https://milk.com/experiments/

I browsed the website and found this gem https://milk.com/wall-o-shame/body_odor.html

Try this https://wiby.me/ Clicking 'Surprise me' gave me an interesting article from 1994 http://milk.com/wall-o-shame/bucket.html

The arrogance of domain squatters, Exhibit A: https://milk.com/value

Dan's emails and milk-related content are also pretty interesting: https://milk.com/experiments/

Actually he wants minimum 8 figures. https://milk.com/value/

Check Dan's responses to emails he received over the years. Hilarious! http://milk.com/experiments/

The owner behind the website has also cataloged some of his correspondence with people who failed to realize milk.com was not dairy-related[0], some of which are very entertaining. [0] https://milk.com/experiments/

I enjoyed the story of a giant grease fire that could have been. Though, I was curious as to why milk.com was owned by a computer company, and not, say a milk company or organization. I read the explanation[0] and enjoyed it as well. [0] https://milk.com/value/

Check out the guy who still owns milk.com: http://milk.com/value/ Jesus.com was once owned by a guy who offered "Showers with Jesus" (he had long hair). ... or was it baths with Jesus. It was one of those.

I like how they got 'milk' on Twitter and Facebook. How long until they pick up milk.com? - http://milk.com/value/

The FAQ is super informative! https://milk.com/faq/

it reminds me of http://milk.com/faq/

There is no lipstick. It is all pig. Windows exists because people run it on laptops and desktops. Not tablets and phones. Every time MS tried to make it otherwise, they failed. Windows RT, Windows 8, Windows 10S, Windows 10X - each was less attractive than its predecessors, and each damaged the desktop attractiveness of Windows. Now we have an OS that tries to pretend it is a mobile OS, not a laptop and desktop OS. Control Panel that takes away more control from the user with each update, Search that won't find the most simple things, Explorer hanging randomly, OneDrive's broken sync and the rest of the UI are painful to use even on a beefy desktop. Even worse, it doesn't work well on mobile/touch devices. The new Control Painal changes from update to update, the Explorer UI gets less and less responsive and obvious, the and the file selection dialog is about as broken as someone could make it on purpose. I really have no clue who they're building Windows for anymore. I'm reminded of the joke https://milk.com/random-humor/suit_joke.html about the tailor. Windows is the suit.
