<div style='font: ; text-align: left; '>How can I determine when a domain name expires? I'm interested in *ahem* hijacking a specific domain name. I know that if the owners renew in time, it will remain theirs. But on the off chance that they don't, I can take it right? If so, how would I go about doing it?
Thanks in advance,

True, but I had problems with that domain on NS before...

<div style='font: 10pt "EngraversGothic BT", "Copperplate Gothic Light", "Century Gothic"; text-align: left; '>NS locked my domain from getting transferred, and they wanted me to pay an entire year, just so that I can get it unlocked and pay ANOTHER fee on the other registrar. The problem that I had after that was an old e-mail address that didn't exist, so I didn't get the renewal notice. After the domain got disconnected, I have problems trying to get the e-mail addy changed.
Really, the problem was BECAUSE of NS, since I had to wait for the domain to expire, and low and behold, somebody takes it. (Sure, nobody will get a domain when it doesn't exist, but everybody wants it when it's about to expire.) Fortunately, he was nice enough to give me the domain when I explained the situation, but I was basically registered under his registrar, which wasn't really anything at all. Indeed, when I tried to contact him about it, his site didn't exist.</div>
