Question from reader: I am interested in a domain under the Swedish ”.se” TLD, but it does not seem to be neither registered or available! On a whois i see this status flag:
*domainname.status: SYSTEM
Does it mean that the domain is reserved for future use or otherwise unavailable?
Answer: Yes, that domain is unfortunly unavailable and it is highly unlikely that it will be released for registration in the nearest future. The registrar have made it impossible to register several domains including those who is the same as existing country codes, some branded numericals or other wise all too generic names. Some are also reserved for other reasons.

Just another day
Well it’s a beautiful day in the neighborhood
A beautiful day in the neighbor-hood
Can’t go wrong, I feel strong and the flavor’s good
I’m wit whateva comes my way, hip-hop hooray
Latifah’s on vacation, I’m just plain on day to day
I strap out, step out in every direction
Glock, tech’s, jimmy hat’s, in case I need protection
So I land cruise, play I wanna be’s
A kid in the increase gettin jack right in front of me
So I pull the tech close, my finger’s on the trigger
Don’t wanna get wet, so they step
Cause mine’s is slighty bigger
But better yet, I’ma threat, so ya better walk
Or get sketched out in chalk, cause I don’t wanna talk
I stay true blue, I’m hopin it’s you too
I got the fever for the flava of a??????
So it’s back to the block time to play
It’s just another day around the way, hey
