Or, be Microsoft and break Azure AD authentication two years in a row because your certificate expired on February 29 because you created it on a leap year.

$18M is chump change. Mark Cuban sold broadcast.com to Yahoo for $5.7B. It's now a parked domain.

So Yahoo will spend $5B parking a domain, but won't spend $1M buying their competitor?

Lots of them.
Nowadays I just got a script reminding me of them (we don't have the appropriate tools yet for that)

I think being told your connection is not private when connecting to 'the internet' is highly symbolic and should be kept exactly the way it is :)

There is absolutely noone using that website, and the only content appears to be a single page promo that probably hasn't changed in forever. There's basically no consequence on this expiry.
