Security?

We've all heard of "security through obscurity" but have you ever heard of "security through letterhead"? One of my favorite sites (http://worsethanfailure.com/) has a nice mock conversation between a consultant and a domain registrar regarding a domain name transfer. If you've ever wondered how hard it would be for someone to swipe your domain from you the answer is probably not very hard.

Someday we will all succumb. Resistance is futile.

G just makes it slightly more difficult. You have to pwn DNS for the domain so you can setup a webserver to serve the "special" content G wants.
