 1 | Usage:
 2 | <stream of words> | xargs whoozr.rb 
 3 | 
 4 | Output: (e.g.)
 5 | streptococc.us is available
 6 | 
 7 | Flaws: (notice I saved this for last)
 8 | It's hardcoded for the extensions to try. 
 9 | It needs a Gemfile to make loading the whois gem brainless. 
10 | It should have a command line option to specify the list of TLDs to check. 
11 | It should spawn N threads to speed up the search.
12 | It needs tests?
13 |

/whoozr.rb:

 1 | require 'rubygems'
 2 | require 'whois'
 3 | 
 4 | c = Whois::Client.new
 5 | 
 6 | ARGV.each do |dom|
 7 |   check = String.new(dom)
 8 |   if !(i = check.index(/me$/)).nil? then 
 9 |     check = check.insert(i, '.') 
10 |   end
11 |   if !(i = check.index(/ag$/)).nil? then 
12 |     check = check.insert(i, '.') 
13 |   end
14 |   if !(i = check.index(/org$/)).nil? then 
15 |     check = check.insert(i, '.') 
16 |   end
17 |   if !(i = check.index(/us$/)).nil? then 
18 |     check = check.insert(i, '.') 
19 |   end
20 |   if check.index('.') && c.query(check).available? then
21 |     puts check + " is available"
22 |   end
