I'm not really looking to develop this into a business, just thought it would be useful and some people would get some use out of it. :)
Edit: it used to run only on a cluster of servers, the client-side program is new I think.
$ cat /usr/share/dict/words | egrep -o "(^world$)|(^hello$)"I also remember this happening with emailing addresses on the entire AT&T ISP. That effected about 40 shared servers (around 16000 hosting accounts, each with unlimited email). So yeah. Bad news.

For example, the auction for eventjunky.com is ending in 10 minutes, and the price is $10. not bad. I also saw asdense.com on there the other day for $5 buy it now... I thought that would be a domain squatter's dream, but decided to pass it up :P

See the "15" image next to the countdown? Mouseover that, and it tells you that the 10 second countdown for this item will not trigger until the bid has gotten up to $64.70. Doesn't take a genius to figure out that the house will win this one (if not all of them).

"Dedicated virtual desktop" hmmmm....
I didn't like it too much at first (funky syntax, different naming conventions, generally crappy string manipulation), but once I started using it, especially in conjunction with cocoa and ib, I really started liking it.
It has some cool perks, like using '+' (I forget the technical term) to add functionality to an existing class (i.e. adding a method to the NSString class by creating an NSString+Additions.m file, and all classes in your project can call that method on any NSString object). Much easier than having to create an NSString subclass just to add one method, and then having to remember to name all your NSString's something like MyString* str;
I also like that I can just throw a chunk of c or c++ code in there, and call it as a method. Kinda like having native JNI (department of redundancy department). Alright that was a really bad analogy...
Xcode is a decent SDK as well.
performs quick domain name lookups, and doesn't error out after a few minutes like instantdomainsearch
