Sadly, even NameCheap supports the morality clause which is so vague it might be considered worse than SOPA.
Disclaimer: I am one of the founders of SweetLabs (the company behind Pokki).

There are no revenue sharing requirements for the use of third-party ad services and third-party payment providers at this time (though the providers must be approved - list forthcoming). We're still very much focused on developer and user adoption right now.

That said we will be offering our own monetization options next year and there will be very favorable rev-share requirements tied to those for developers.

You are essentially giving up very little beyond time to participate in this contest!
Hey OP, do they have Christmas on your planet too? ;-) Small galaxy!
Nobody individually spends too much time on dealing with them. It the global accumulation of man hours having to deal with them that is a travesty.
Except they didn't cave. They made a press release that they thought would appease the general public as a stop-loss measure. GoDaddy still supports SOPA privately, and likely even monetarily.

Do you have a link for this "pulled the plug" assertion? It's my understanding that Radiohead always intended to release the CD in stores all along because "some fans would not have the technological means to obtain the new material." according to Wikipedia.

Yes, they do still believe in traditional distribution to a point (after giving it away for three months), but I think it's unfair to characterise it as a failure.
Er, I was referring to your Starcraft-inspired name, not to my name. :-)

collections inside a model

I would really love to know the best practice for this, because I was trying to work with something that basically amounted to a model with two or three collections as well as a few simple properties.

But, when I went searching a month or two ago I couldn't really find much in the way of how to handle this sort of nested collection. Is there a good example out there?
I was surprised to the Fraternal Order of Police, and other such police organizations on the list. What are they afraid of, that someone will clone a cop? Or are the supporting this bill because, hey, more laws means more cops for law enforcement, right?
Sounds interesting, but...

Generally, an app would need select, update, and delete on most or all tables. Therefore, simple MySQL permissions would not be sufficient to prevent an attacker from corrupting huge amounts of data belonging to other people's accounts.

"Well web services has to run insert/update/delete queries too based on user input --- where the attacker modifies the source code that generates the input." -- If you sanitize your inputs on the server side, no attacker will ever be able to run arbitrary SQL. This is crucial.

"One can validate input using MySQL trigger/SP too" -- I certainly wouldn't look forward to writing a trigger that, for example, prevents user A from editing records belonging to user B. This is so much easier to do in the application layer.

"Basically MySQL is also a service that you can control, but it doesn't run on port 80." -- You should use the right tool for the job. Sure, you could, for some applications, make an open MySQL server secure. But this is picking the wrong tool for the job. An application layer is far, far better suited to this task than a MySQL server all by itself. This is because your application layer can be written in the language and framework of your choice, giving you much richer ways to express business logic than MySQL can offer.
And what, be yet another Windows OEM? Lots of people have had that bright idea in the last 15 years. No thanks, there are enough of those already.

Very good point. I hadn't followed up on the Radiohead experiment.
Why Rackspace oppose SOPA
I don't think it's a tautology. I mention several well-known online personalities that don't have big media exposure and they obviously don't have the same level of success.

The formula for C.K. involved major television networks. My point is that I don't think you could do this without them.
Find . -name ".DS_Store" | xargs rm

I think...
I have not encountered .DS_Store files enough for them to annoy me, but the same design flaw works itself into my life almost every day, in the form of zip files.

When zipping files on OSX, the common way is to right click on your directory of choice in Finder and select “Archive as…”. This creates a Zip file, with the unwanted addition of a _macosx folder. According to this [1] article, the folder is used for thumbnails, cache data, and other meta data. I have seen these folders work their way into github repos, and I am reminded of their uselessness almost every time I open a zip archive. In the past it may have been justified (to reduce cpu load generating thumbnails and cache files while unzipping), but just like .DS_Store, the time has come to abolish these folders from zip archives.

A shortcut in Windows for this is to use the right mouse button when dragging. That shows you the context menu when you drop the file, allowing you to choose between copy and move. An interesting thing is when you drag files on the same drive, it defaults to move. When the source and destination locations are on different drives, it defaults to copy.
Not that I disagree with your point about Cato Institute's bias, but this mashup http://www.datamasher.org/mash-ups/spent-student-and-sat-sco... of SAT scores vs expenditure per pupil would suggest that more money != better education.
Maybe I don't get it. I'd like to see your data for point 1. Radiohead decided not to repeat their experiment.

As far as an 'inordinate amount of attention', he got buzz because of the model and not the product (which people are happy with). Do you think the next person of similar stature will get similar attention? The second? The twentieth?

That attention helped drive sales. What will it be without it?

Sidenote: I make a comfortable living via online content. I know it can be done. The unanswered question is a breakout success like C.K.'s possible without big media help?
NY Times and Wired.
Right, I don't think anybody is saying it's an overburdening difficulty.

But it's still something, when I shouldn't have to do anything.
It's very simple: google makes money when people use the Internet. When more people use the Internet, google makes more money. Hence, google wants to make the Internet as good as possible so more people will use it.

OSX dominance over windows? Sorry, but what were you trying to say?
Hm, this sounds tough then. So what would be a more viable mode of action? What do people currently do to work on improving these labor conditions?

I'll admit my first thought was "I'm just never going to buy these toys for so-and-so ever!", but unsurprisingly it's more complex than that.
My understanding is it is not monetized and already has a business purpose. As I understand it, monetizing it could potentially interfere with the existing business purpose. I've seen a smidgeon of discussion about this previously but cannot find it.

For some things of value, charging money (more) directly is a good way to kill the goose laying the golden egg. This is a concept I have struggled with for many years, but from the opposite side of the fence: How to make money when I know it to be true that charging directly would be a major fail, a case of "you can't get there from here". I don't have answers in that regard for my projects (and thus I don't have money). Presumably, pg (who does have money) and whomever else makes decisions about such things are not idiots about such details, so I am thinking it likely won't be monetized (at least not in the way you suggest -- as another person suggested, in some sense it already is since it plays a role in their business strategy).

The omnibox is a huge improvement over the traditional model. Rather than dismiss your opinion, I'd like to ask what you think is superior about the separate boxes.
I think the demographics bit is another point taken backwards.

At some point, all societies will have to face a stable/decreasing population pattern. The later, the more severely they will have to face this situation. Japan has done it without falling to pieces.

From my point of view the demographics of Japan ARE great.

In 1, 2 or 3 generations time we will see (whoever lives to see it) what happens to ever-rapidly-growing demographic areas. I suspect it isn't going to be pretty if they wait until they hit a hard limit to stop.

I'm surprised no one's chimed in to complain about AppleDouble files. I recently updated a machine that writes a lot of files to network shares to 10.7. Since 10.7 no longer supports older versions of AFP, this meant mounting those shares using smb://. All of a sudden, instead of just .DS_Store, I had a dot file for every new regular file to ignore.

It's definitely time for these to go.
These Anonymous people seem to think they've hacked a defense contractor.

What they've actually done is more like hacking the Economist magazine, which even has something they call the "Economist Intelligence Unit", which I think sells research, albeit probably with a more economic/political/industrial focus than military-focused information.

Maybe the only popular one, but certainly not the only one. In fact, only webOS is (was, I guess) locked to a single company. Windows Phone isn't open source, but there are at least four hardware manufacturers. Nokia's MeeGo is open source (and quite good on my Nokia N9). And, soon, webOS will be too. So, while Android is a more open mobile OS, it certainly isn't the only one.

It's not Chrome. It's based on WebKit, like Chrome, yes. But it's not Chrome. (Easy way to check: note that the icon says "Browser", not "Chrome", and it isn't the Chrome icon.)
The difference is MS stopped having people work on IE once Netscape was out of the picture. It's not like Firefox would just stop being developed. It's an open source project, after all.
Thumbs.db is the correct comparison in this case because we're talking about behavior i.e an unwanted file that is silently added and propogates.

desktop.ini is closer from a functionality point of view, but in practice I see much less of it compared to Thumbs.db.
Definitely an inspirational post for those of us just starting out.
At your link: "Mongoven warned industry leaders about the increasing collaboration between environmental groups and patients groups on the issue of exposure to chemicals. "

That seems pretty unobjectionable. It's probably even true, and probably ought to have been obvious to the industry without Stratfor's advice. The issue is how the industry responded: by throwing up smokescreens? By lobbying government to avoid regulation? Or by working to reduce emissions and satisfy the public's concerns? An outfit like Stratfor can't control what actions its clients take based on the information and opinions it provides.

So Sourcewatch's case comes down to 1) a leftist's complaint about its coverage of Latin America, and 2) something that is not objectionable.

Which is pretty weak.

Robocall SOPA supporters to get your voice heard against it
I completely disagree. Watching a big proponent of SOPA have to scurry away from its position with its tail between its legs very likely gets the attention of people in Washington.

As a Democrat, I feel there is way too much Outrage over all kinds of relatively minor things. If you read a site like Daily Kos and see all the action going on there, it would seem that any successful legislator would have to necessarily build a tolerance to negative emails/letters/calls.

There are not, however, many issues that cause a large corporate donor to beg for mercy and forgiveness for taking a certain position. I think this action towards GoDaddy matters quite a bit in separating SOPA as something that really, truly angers people.
A net gain of about 400 domains doesn't seem like wild growth to me.
Windows has always had more configuration than OSX.

OSX - supposed to be simple to use and the defaults are supposed to "just work" and make sense to most people (drag an "icon" to the "trash" to "uninstall" it made no sense to me)

Linux (old-school) - made for users who care about the details and will take days or weeks to set up their system. Arch is still like this. Stuff adheres to philosophical standards and POSIX.

Linux (new-school) - trying to be like OSX with the "sane defaults; just works in most cases" but also tweak-able as much or as little as you like. Fedora 16 is my current weapon of choice for work/dev.

Windows - the "bloated swiss army knife". It's trying to have the "sane defaults" of OSX with the configurability of Linux, but the architecture is all stupid and you get error codes in hexidecimal that say "an unknown error has occurred!". Going back to Windows after OSX or Linux is pretty awful, honestly. Really the only thing it has going for it would be "it's popular", so it's likely that someone else also had error 0x8BADF00D and knew how to fix it. Hating aside, Windows being not open-source really hurts when you're trying to fix/debug something -- you can tail the error logs until the cows come home, but unless you're a Microsoft developer, it'll probably be pretty opaque (OSX is sometimes bad about this too -- ever have fun with KEXT bingo?)

The solution, obviously, is to just have a damn cache of these somewhere ELSE on the system (but not the registry, because the registry was one of the worst software ideas OF ALL TIME. What other critical system database lets anything write to anywhere at any time? Smart, guys, smart...)
The reason there are two seperate bars is the privacy implication of having autocomplete from a search engine for every url you type in. If I want to go to example.com, that'll get sent to Google for autocomplete if I type it on the Chrome address bar or the Firefox search bar. Depending on what example.com is, I may not want Google knowing I went there. On the other hand, if I type it on the Firefox address bar, it doesn't get sent for search autocomplete (just history, bookmarks etc.), so Google doesn't know which site I'm going to.

That's the official purpose of having two bars anyway, but I can't find the article where I remember this being stated.

It's not opening up a Pandora's box to say that Windows is more user-friendly than a Mac in some aspects, and anyway you're using the phrase "rare occasion".

Having said that, your example is bad because:
- your "simple os option" is hidden in an advanced administrative tool called "Local Group Policy Tool" (or previously Registry)
- OS X has the same disable .DS_Store option hidden in a similar administrative interface (Terminal + defaults write ...)

http://www.yabla.com might be what you are looking for -- it's great for learning via subtitled foreign clips. The content isn't dubbed however, rather it's from those countries that speak the language natively.
It certainly would if it was not detected before the code was deployed. Depending on how strongly typed the language is, it may cause an error at runtime, which isn't ideal, or it would go undetected until it caused a myriad of seemingly unrelated symptoms, which is much worse.

Unhandled null references are the most common type error that other languages don't catch as readily (I fairly frequently try to write code that doesn't handle the not found case in a map lookup), but there are so many times when I've tried to write code that the compiler has rejected, but that wouldn't have been picked up in other static languages.
MMM said adding more programmer to already late project doesn't make it finished faster. It didn't say having more programmer who already understand the project will make the project finish late. If that is true then one programmer must always be the optimal number to complete any project, which is clearly wrong.

Also, "less skilled programmers" are not always "incompetent programmers" so more of the former who already understands the system may be able to complete the project faster than fewer "more skilled programmers"

I'd have thought raising interest rates would increase the currency's price.

Higher interest rate - more money converted to the currency to take advantage of the interest rate, and so the currency becomes more expensive.
I don't know that much about the OPEN Act. I think it's not even finished yet. But it could be a good way to distract the politicians that support SOPA/PIPA, at least so they don't think that what SOPA and PIPA are proposing is the only way to stop piracy. It could be useful if it creates confusion when voting for SOPA and PIPA, get them to vote against those bills, and then we can deal with the OPEN Act.

Darrell Issa seems to have a lot more common sense than the SOPA/PIPA sponsors, but after seeing how ITC can ban popular (HTC) products from the market over some trivial patents, I'm not confident that they will deal with the copyright issues in a sane way, either.
Weird, the windows git client defaults to "checkout windows line endings, commit unix line endings" or something to that effect. I do a lot of data analysis and end up transferring text files manually and having to worry about carriage returns all the time, but I've never had that problem with git. There's an easy command line utility called flip [1] that makes dealing with line endings pretty simple. But yes, it is a ridiculous thing to have to worry about.

OK, both Visa and MasterCard are on the list. What other choices do I have for generic electronic payments in the EU? Not that I was harboring any love for these companies at all.

Secondly, how does a company get on this list? I'd believe they have to put their money behind the lobbyists rooting for SOPA. Then, how does a company get removed from the list? Does the lobbyist give their money back? Off course they don't. So staying on the list it is.
