UK Registrar NOMINET Uses the Force and Gives star-wars.co.uk to Disney

Disney has won control of the star-wars.co.uk domain (and several others) from a costume retailer that was using it to sell "legitimate and licensed" Star Wars-themed costumes. Disney bought Lucasfilm and all of its intellectual property for $4.1 billion in 2012. The retailer's parent company, Abscissa, had used two of the domains for the last 10 years.

However, at the tail of the BBC story: "Abscissa itself has also benefited from the dispute-resolution process, by wresting control of jokers.co.uk from a fancy-dress rival in 2007".

    There is a photo in the family album taken when I was a little kid.

    Now what made this photo kinda special to me is that it was taken next to a fountain, I was leaning way backwards, and peeing an arch right over my head.

    I would hardly consider it porn, but Geez, I wish I could still do that!

    but to obtain the prescription you are going to have to ask your doctor for one of those unpleasant medical examinations.

    The trazadone I take for insomnia gives me morning wood, I havent seen that in decades.
