Well, if anything Marchex is a very strong supporter of E8 now lmao

[NostraDomainus]

Congrats to Buyer and Sellers!
Nice sales.

I guess even speculated @ a value of $8,888,888 upon inception, that wasn't enough to acquire 888.com

Would they be lucky for what they did get or unlucky for not having (arguable) the better 888.com? W/o 888.com - can they really have unifying supersymmetry?
(J/k if course )

nice, very interesting stuff.
If he managed to produce an unification theory that's pretty cool.

But I'm not sure how that relates to buying numeric domains

thats the relation

Curious to see what comes from turning on the new super collider, I'm sure the E8 group is convinced we'll get our first glimpse of super symmetry in action. We haven't even physically proven a 4th spatial dimension yet, despite the mathematics taking us out to 248 dimensions.

I felt 4-D once.....but that's a long story......

[anatoly]

as soon as they'll be able spot a graviton then we'll know for sure about other dimensions....

A sick portfolio!

hmm... this statement stands out for me ....valuation of the company ...
$8,888,888...

a simplistic way of valuating a company ....hope we dont see shares for this company being sold based on that valuation on domain forums
