.... Microsoft is famous.
I finally found the connection.
Harry Potter named his son Albus Severus Potter, so that the spirit of ASP lingers on forever. Well atleast untill his son's death or, his grandson is called ASPDN or better yet, MVC.

Hi All,
I intend to sell a particular domain name that is specific to an industry vertical. I plan to sell it as I am not able to find time to develop it. Without getting into the exact details (pardon me for that, just that I wanted to maintain the anonymity till I am ready), I would like to say that:
1. Its a broad name of a particular industrial domain. E.g. somewhat on the lines of www.books.com
2. My intended buyer would be a computing based startup or an established company in that area. Extending the example in point above - www.books.com redirects to www.barnesandnoble.comr
3. Of course, the buyer would have an option to either use it actively or keep it parked the way Barnes & Noble has done to www.books.com with an appropriate redirection.
How should I approach potential buyers? What are my options of putting an advert?
1. Craiglist?
2. Something else?
3. What may get best footfall?
best regards and a happy Thanksgiving!

Well, I would put up a bespoke home page on the site that visually suggests its relevance to the industry, and a visible, but subtle, notice the name/site are for sale, and then evaluate if somehow notifying a select group of potential buyers the name is available for purchase would be a good choice.
But, there could be a risk in that: if someone knows you want to sell, that may erode your bargaining position. Also, what if the people you contact perceive you as a spammer and are annoyed, and report you, and the site-name gets a bad reputation, and you get a bad-rep.
Keep in mind that "brand names," "trade names," etc. often represent deep emotional investments for people who own/use them, and have spent many $ and energy promoting them, often over many years.
«If you search in Google for 'no-one ever got fired for buying IBM:' the top-hit is the Wikipedia article on 'Fear, uncertainty and doubt'» What does that tell you about sanity in these times?

Start by checking you WHOIS info: go to www.who.is[^] and it can tell you your current info. Check that it refers to you, so if anyone who really wants it looks, they can ask you directly. (Exactly how you edit it depends on your current hosting service - ask them).
Bear in mind that most domain names don't have a lot of value: so try to be realistic in you pricing. Craigslist / FleaBay is probably not the best vehicle for selling a domain - think about where you would go to buy one! Good places: at the domain itself! It's also worth noting there are companies specialising in the sale of domain names - Google can find them for you - I've not used them, but I'd check what commission they charge before I signed up.

Star Wars 7 Trailer[^]
no need to say much really..

Even though...
...The three "prequels" were a bit rubbish.
...The original had a plot you could spelunk in.
...Luke was as convincing as a chocolate teapot.
...when the music starts, you just go "Yes!" damnit!

If you can't read my code, try converting it here[^]

There is a cure for that.
Just because the code works, it doesn't mean that it is good code.

Nice teaser.
We have no idea of the plot; or the hero(s) or villain.
We have funny robot, a weird looking speeder, X-Wings and Tie Fighters, we have the Millennium Falcon and a cool looking lightsaber.
And you can have a Star Wars special DJ mix done by Tom Middleton.

The Force can't awaken. It already died 30 years ago and before the prequels because of unstoppable teddybears.
The language is JavaScript. that of Mordor, which I will not utter here
This is Javascript. If you put big wheels and a racing stripe on a golf cart, it's still a f***ing golf cart.

I can't find the reference now, but Star Was (the movies) is the live of Anakin told from the robot's point of view. As such the prequels make sense (I don't mention execution, however I enjoyed them as well), but anything that happens after Episode VI doesn't...
I don't know if they would even try to fit in this mood? Or it is not the point and just goes along "it will sell anyway" lines?

Um...it's owned by Disney now - which should answer your question.

I am a twitter with anticipation. I really am.
But...
You know it's going to have totally over-produced CGI that will distract you from the characters themselves.
Star Wars wasn't about the effects (though they were AWESOME at the time). It was about young Luke Skywalker. Let's hope the next three have an actual story. I don't even care if you can drive a truck through it. I will suspend disbelief and logic. But only to a point.
cheers

I hope not. Saw the trailer for Jurassic World and they totally went that route in some scenes. Makes it look worse when overdone.
