Arthur T Knackerbracket has found the following story:
Back in September, IBM was left red-faced when its global load balancer and reverse DNS services fell over for 21 hours.
At the time, IBM blamed the outage on a third-party domain name registrar that was transferring some domains to another registrar. The sending registrar, IBM said, accidentally put the domains in a "hold state" that prevented them being transferred. As the load balancer and reverse DNS service relied on the domains in question, the services became inaccessible to customers.
IBM's now released an incident summary [PDF] in which it says "multiple domain names were mistakenly allowed to expire and were in hold status."
The explanation also reveals that the network-layer.net domain was caught up in the mess, in addition to the global-datacenter.com and global-datacenter.net domains that IBM reported as messed up in September.
It's unclear if IBM or its outsourced registrar was responsible for the failure to renew registration for the domains.

You're totally right. The only way to succeed at anything is to be an early adopter before the establishment close ranks and shout, "FUCK YOU GOT MY BTC!"

Capitalism is voluntary exchange; it doesn't matter whether you're worth billions or 2 cents.
Nobody forces anybody to do anything.

Quit being bitter. It's just proof that you're useless both to yourself and to the rest of us.

It should be against the law for poor people to commit crimes.

It's not people being poor that results in crime. Rather, it's crime that results in people being poor.
Wealth creation is a matter of organization and planning, and you can either work with existing societal institutions (including corporations), or you can work against them. If you're bitter, it's only because you're too entitled or too lazy to respect other people, and thus to work with them through voluntary exchange.
So, to echo the other, bitter AC: "You're better, how, motherfucker?" Give up your bitterness, and make something of yourself.
