Maybe these companies should have thought a little more laterally about their domain names:
Firstly there is Who Represents?, a database for agencies to the rich and famous:
www.whorepresents.com
Second is the Experts Exchange, a knowledge base where programmers can exchange advice and views:
www.expertsexchange.com
Looking for a pen? Look no further than Pen Island:
www.penisland.net
Need a therapist? Try:
www.therapistfinder.com
And there is an Italian Power-Generation company:
www.powergenitalia.com
Finally we have the Mole Station Native Nursery, based in New South Wales:
www.molestationnursery.com

I can see the work of developers like me in there. I always manage to sneak some iffy design names into my programs:
I wrote an intranet content management system. The main table for individual Home Page Source, I named HPSauce
Another system was a client management system. One column in the table was "Analyst Service Required".... My name... AnalServiceRequired.
Theres many more, I try to have at least one in each system i write.
These things make me happy, I'm glad to see other like-minded developers out there.

heh Miruwin wrong site sorry chickie. If you are going to make fun of a great site get it right
The
www.Expert Sex Change.com site you have used is incorrect. It has always been
www.experts-exchange.com. Great site for pretty much anything regarding IT support, not just programming. Saved my ass heaps of times.
The others were fkn funny though
I always liked
www.thortakesituptheass.com myself. Another funny site.

What you will find Miruwin is the site you have is a link site that is taking the good name of experts-exchange and using it to redirect people to sites that don't actually infact help them but allow them to buy software.
Quite a few sites have appeared likes this as quite often people type the incorect address. Good way to make cash via referrals.
The reason I say this is because in the early days the ExpertSexChange thing was brought up and they answered it by saying "why do you think we put the - in there".
So while yes you are correct and it a real domain name they didn't actually didn't need to think about the name of their domain at all but rather just stole a name that was often miss typed. Allot of domain host sites do this to help them sell more sites.
Sounds like the internet to me

Actually Nyssah the point is.
Maybe these companies should have thought a little more laterally about their domain names:
The company didn't think about the name at all, laterally or otherwise. They stole someone elses name.
I never debated it wasn't funny
