If you want to register a domain with the word hacker (and a bunch of other words which they won&apos;t release), they give you a giant warning basically equating hackers with criminals, and make you submit a request to them before them that they have to okay before you&apos;re allowed to register.&lt;p&gt;Oh, and you can&apos;t use a credit card (hackers steal those, you know!), you have to have funds already in your account.&lt;p&gt;I&apos;m sorry, name cheap, I want to love you, and stuff like donating to the EFF makes me want to love you even more, but please stop this absurdity of hackers == criminals.&lt;p&gt;(I found this out when registering raspihacker.com -- which is clearly a front for me evil criminal enterprise!)&lt;p&gt;Here, I just tired to register &quot;potatohacker.com&quot; and got this: &lt;a href=&quot;http://i.imgur.com/uz4yrBt.png&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;http://i.imgur.com/uz4yrBt.png&lt;/a&gt;</text></comment>
