And I can speak from experience having owned a few Petzl headlamps and some cheapo no-name Chinese headlamps, or even cheapo Chinese headlamps with Eddie Bauer branding. There's a world of difference. I have a Petzl that's 15 years old and works like a champ.

So I can understand them being pissed about counterfeit goods sullying their good name. Now, I'm a little baffled as to why anyone would buy a $5,000+ handbag, but hey, whatever floats your boat. I can also see where designer labels would be desperate to protect their businesses too.

But that's the thing: there's nothing wrong with a company pushing hard to use the law to protect its business. But since lawmakers are supposed to promote the common welfare, they shouldn't just roll over like obedient dogs. The people need to yell about it until the lawmakers wise up.
Well done!

I bow to you sir.
Using Repetition for Logo Design in Illustrator CS5
Repetition is a fundamental concept in the design world. Whether repetition is part of “harmony” or “visual echo” or just plain common sense — intentionally integrating repetition into logo design works. Do you need more reasons?
Was meaning to switch due to their questionable ethics but was too lazy until now. Waiting on three transfer to namecheap now.
> I just don’t like bullies.

It isn't bullying. It's tit-for-tat. Companies that support SOPA will hurt, economically, all of us. It makes sense to hurt them back.
The one time I had a credit card number stolen, Wells Fargo noticed the problem before I did. When I asked their fraud guy what the charges were that I didn't make he said they were a couple of domain name registrations.

Presumably attempting to register domains is something card thieves do to verify a stolen number actually works before they resell it or use it for "real" purchases... but why they use domain fees for this, I have no idea. Also, this was years ago, so one would assume that by now the card thieves have moved on to new methods that don't red flag so fast?

Interestingly enough, none of my own real domain registration fees has ever tripped up a card block and I've owned dozens of domains over the years.

Needs at least one more option: switched after past GoDaddy débâcles.

I didn't switch immediately after the elephant controversy, but did a couple months after that when half my domains were up for renewal.

Knowing now that Namecheap and other registrars will actually extend my expiration date no matter when it is, I'll definitely be moving my remaining domains ASAP (some of which I bought for 5-year periods not long ago, hence my prior reticence to switch).
I agree that line of reasoning is not fallacy free. but if you think in terms of probabilities, it may be safe heuristic to make a stance on..

Update: I mean probability of a venture backing a sopa supporter(company/startup) being anti-sopa is very low.. So it's a good heuristic to assume they are sopa supporters instead of innocent(technologically clueless) bystanders.
Since unemployment benefits provide a disincentive for finding work, reducing unemployment would reduce this disincentive.

Sounds like blaming the unemployed for being unemployed. There are many factors regarding people who are unemployed long term. Most often it has nothing to do with the minimum wage, people being lazy or feeling entitled.

>I'm glad you agree that if wage flexibility could be engineered, then this would make Keynesian stimulus unnecessary.

Sounds like it's inviting companies to continue to profit while not hiring or rehiring their workforce a lower wage. That or you get disparity between old workers & new workers. Cost of living I doubt would adjust very quickly. Those who would pay the biggest price are those coming back into the workforce who will be making less, but probably paying the same living expenses.

>Banks tend to sell foreclosed properties at, well, foreclosure sale prices.

You assume they are selling. The housing market is flooded with foreclosed properties going nowhere. If the idea here is to reducing wages for those who are able to find a job.

I believe I'm stuck within the 60 day policy due to recent renewals before all of this came to light (will have to double check). Will be switching as soon as possible.
After reading that I'm afraid they're going to have downtime because of a 'shoddy backplane connection' sometime soon. Or that it's going to fall out of its 'delicate balance' or have a 'driver conflict' soon :(

I wonder if they subconsciously undervalue their photos, or if this is just a naive 'we can do better' moment.

I'm all for building your own, but there's a good reason enterprise server hardware costs more, and there's a good reason to go for enterprise hardware when you say 'The one most valuable asset at Oyster.com is our photo collection'.

For instance a Dell or HP storage server with 24 disks would be around 18K list - and be really engineered for that as opposed to hacked together.

Game Industry All-Stars Making an Epic Sci-Fi Comic…Game…Thing
I think it's silly to say everyone knows who fit a certain category. For example, look at Cheezburger moving away. I would have suspected he is fairly web savvy, you know, owning 1000 domains and running a giant blog network. But this apparently was the thing that called him into action. Plenty of room to spread the message and actually have people act.
I did this once, just to see what would happen. (I hadn't read Lion's notes yet).

The admin came running (well, fast-walking) and asked me if I knew what I was doing.

"Now I do," I replied.

"No, you don't," he said. The next morning there was a photocopy of Lion's Notes on V6 Unix on my desk.

I learned a lot from that guy, and that illicit copy of LN.
Yes.

I had been wanting to participate in the Dec-29 mass de-activation protest but it just so happened that a handful of my domains were expiring on this 25th. Something I was very conscious about was the hoops and hassles Godaddy makes you go through for doing a transfer... I was not looking forward to wasting time figuring that mess out, but very thankfully the article from earlier today (http://blog.jeffepstein.me/post/14629857835/a-step-by-step-g... ) made that a hassle-free process.

I will be transferring some 50 or so domains over to Namecheap -- either because I own them, or have sway over friends/family who currently are stuck with them.
Where should I move my domains?
I'd like to move my domains from GoDaddy. Where should I move them?

Testing guarantees successful mobile application development 
he process of developing application software for mobile phones is also termed as mobile application development.

Each of these platforms has an integrated development environment which enables the developer to successfully perform the tasks of writing, testing and deploying the application developed for mobile phones.
Yes. I then emailed them regarding my transfer and they responded with platitudes. No real surprise there.
Yup. I've been a little bothered by GoDaddy in the past, but they provided good service, so I didn't really stress it too much. Domain transfers are a pain in the ass, so when you have a bunch of domains, there's momentum working against a transfer. But, when they get on board with legislation that's going to destroy my industry, I'm done.

My initial excuse was "well, I just renewed them all, and I don't want to burn that much cash". But then I saw that Namecheap appends your transfer renewal year to your existing expiry, so my domains that renewed last month now renew in November 2013. So, I'm just shifting money I'd be paying anyhow upfront, rather than wasting registry time (as GoDaddy often tries to get you to do).

I decided to switch today, before I grew complacent. Almost 60 domains, but the last step of the transfer is now pending, and it feels great.
I recently started to point all name servers to Amazon Route 53. Clean and super easy to use now that it's available in the AWS Management Console. GoDaddy has been reduced to a registrar only, all DNS is managed from AWS now.
And good riddance of GoDaddy's crappy Domain Manager UI.
"the first 250k is going to pay back what the special cost to produce and the website to build. "

I agree that it's a strange setup for the website but all the money didn't go just to building it. I bet (hope) that most of that money was what the special cost to produce and not much was spent on the site.
No it's not. Domain name registrars are a dime a dozen, people don't invest hours learning to use their panel, they also don't write "I know how to use GoDaddy" on a resume. As you can see, the switch from one to the next is trivial. People often procrastinate to do it because it's a bit of a pain, but it's simple enough that the motivation to do it is just one frustration away.

It just shows that if you're about to express your unpopular political opinions as a business, at the risk of pissing off a good chunk of your customer base, you should make sure your product is so damn good and unique, that people will be compelled to use it despite their contempt for you. But in this case, people just went nah, fuck godaddy!
Duolingo Crowdsourcing Translation
heh. I agree, its hard to imagine the horror of a world where billions (or even trillions) of dollars is diverted from 'defence' to fund scientific research.

where on earth would it all end?
Pure speculation:

AmEx probably sees that SOPA will be bad for the economy. A bad economy means less profits.

Visa and MasterCard... maybe, just maybe, they understand that Bitcoin or some other cryptocurrency might succeed in the future, and SOPA might help them acuse Bitcoin websites of "counterfeiting" money.

Americans and their glorification of war. :(

Losing the massacre in Vietnam seems not to have had any negative impact on the freedom of Americans though (it only had on the lives of millions in south east Asia).
I love creative policy ideas like this. It's an fascinating attempt to engineer a carrot and stick motivate the rich to help make all Americans better off. I'm not necessarily saying that I like to see highly engineered policies put into practice (and there's an argument to be made that people shouldn't be forced to have their livelihoods engineered), but it's fun to think about them.

The question I have is: Under this tax policy, what could/would the 1% actually do to ensure that the income of the 99% would grow at the same rate? Would the economically rational thing be to ignore the law? (perhaps hoping others would take action) Would they insist that more tax dollars go to education? (or is that too forward thinking?) Would lots of workers find themselves with immediate raises? Would the market hone in on previously unknown ways to make workers valuable? Would the 1% only attempt to help the top 10% or 25%, or would it be more fruitful to help the bottom X%?
This seems like a half-solution - I can understand building a big box locally for day-to-day access to the images (if they indeed need that) but I didn't see any mention of an off-site backup. Even assuming no problems like file corruption, what happens if there's a fire or flood? At the least, there should be two copies of this big box, in different places.

Apparently you've never been on the receiving end of PayPal's unending wrath. It isn't pretty when it occurs. If you haven't experienced it, you won't believe that there is even a possibility that they would do it to a legitimate business. You think that it only happens to people that are committing fraud, have excessive chargebacks, or are at the very least violating their TOS in some way. But the reality is that PayPal freezes accounts every single day that belong to entirely legitimate merchants operating well within the TOS.

The only thing he has going for him is his fame. This makes freezing of funds slightly less likely, though still not entirely implausible, solely because he could actually cause a large amount of negative publicity.
What technologies does he use? How would those be affected?

This. If they understand that the tools they utilize everyday would not exist had SOPA been enacted in 1991... and it continues to move with support, we know the rafts are safer than this boat...
Amazon S3 price also takes into account having redundancy at three data centers. So you should multiply the cost by 3, just for that. Of course if you don't need the redundancy, you can build it for cheaper.

Also for some applications it really does make sense to move away from S3, and have a solution in house. For example The Broad Institute has about 6 petabytes of storage [1]. They in particular benefit from local storage, since all of their data is generated on-site. However, even at this scale, they don't build the boxes themselves [2].

I believe that JPEG is the best format for making a good photo, whereas PNG is better overall for any other kind of image.

The OS actually supports a huge variety of images natively, including PNG, JPEG, TIFF, GIF, several Windows formats and X-Windows bitmaps.

PNG is definitely the smallest and fastest to render, especially when compiled by Xcode (Apple does some hacking to the file format so that the device doesn't have to do as many calculations at runtime).
Yep. Not even as a protest... I'd just rather not host domains with a company that thinks it's okay to "disappear" them.

I cannot believe how many people are using the worst domain registrar in existence, even if you don't consider SOPA support. Out of all of the domain registrars, why GoDaddy?
". I can come up with an elaborate theory on an owl-based patriarchy and write a book on it, and even recruit some other nutters to back me up but it doesn't mean it's provably true or actionable and constructive."

Sure, life would be simpler and more controllable if we knew what we were going to discover before we discovered it, but we dont.
Come up with an elaborate theory on owl based patriarchy that gives some other smart chap an epiphany about the behavior of whale tribal groups, and who knows what improvements your investigations might provide for.

Of course, if you just make it all up, you are not practicing science, you are practicing fraud.
This is precisely the reason I stuck with GoDaddy for so long. My first domain was registered on 07-Sep-01 and, at the time, GoDaddy was the cheapest registrar I knew about/could find. I think this was even before they really started pushing their "edgy"/sexist advertisements.

Since then I haven't really had a compelling reason to leave, though earlier this year I decided to--as my domains expire--move to name.com. Of course as of today I initiated the transfer processes on the remaining 12 domains.

It's a win-win for me.
Competent waste disposal is great. Totally incompetent waste disposal is bad, but those jerks tend to get caught quickly. The semi-competent ones are able to appear adequate for long enough that they can create giant messes. They can also undercut the people doing it right, creating a race to the bottom.

And no, I'm not necessarily pissed off at the people generating the waste. Heck, water's dangerous unless properly handled. As long as people using toxic substances pay the full lifecycle cost there's no negative externality so that's jake by me.
Packaging design is a discipline
i wish my domains were still w/ GoDaddy just so i can transfer them out to protest. Arvixe hosting provides better services and didn't have to objectify women to advertise.
But you derived your guess from his political party. This is fundamentally incompatible with thinking that this is not a partisan issue. So your guess isn't consistent with your own beliefs. (Unless you've changed them since the other comment.)
Everybody else, minus those who have never heard of it. Or something like that.

Seriously, though, the best I could find were the creators of http://americancensorship.org/ I'm sure that there's a lot more opposition than just the people who created that, but that site doesn't appear to have a supporters page that one can sign on to. Or if they do, I missed it.
I'm not sure I understand this. I'm hesitant to move my domain because it's registered until 2019... am I worried for nothing?
For me, and I expect a lot of other people as well, the issue wasn't solely the fact that an elephant was shot.

It was Bob Parsons going to Africa in this "Great White Hunter" role, acting as though he were there to help the poor backwards natives who needed the elephant killed to protect their crops.

The reality is that he got a juvenile macho thrill out of the whole thing, from his patronizing handout of gaily colored GoDaddy hats for villagers to his gory video attempting to glamorize himself.

Yes, I love elephants and believe there are other ways to deal with some trampled crops besides shooting them. But the real point was what a lowlife Bob Parsons is, no matter what particular activity he's engaged in.
eBay/PayPal has explicitly come out against SOPA.
Inertia. GoDaddy was great back when the other main option was Network Solutions. If you registered for multiple years, or simply forgot to transfer before the renewal period, it was easy to stay.
Not a member, but the CEO. His actions should absolutely reflect on GoDaddy as a whole.
By "interesting size" I mean "large enough that it's no longer convenient to page through it." Generally, for less than that, sorting's not necessary because you can just scan through the list visually, and for longer than that, the sort generally becomes useless anyway. It didn't seem to matter if the list was 100 long or 100,0000 long.

We saw less than 10% of users ever employing the sort controls; that's not zero, but it's low enough that you can't depend on them to cover use cases.

The problem with your examples are that you're not really showing "sorts" from a user standpoint. What a user is really doing is effectively filtering for the "show me the N least difficult", not "sort by difficulty, ascending." Also, sorting on a relatively scaled value make more sense, but a lot of the time the values in a column don't have that kind of relationship. What's the "least zip code" good for?
I expect them to act strictly in self-interest. Hurting them may be the only way to make it clear where that interest lies, but you're certainly right that other options are worth exploring if they can be found.
There are several threads and responses today in all the GoDaddy threads all over HN with suggestions. Many of them pointing to namecheap, name.com, gandi.net, and a few others.
What does veteran hating have to do with whether or not SOPA is good legislation? Truth is truth, regardless of how despicable the truth-bearer is.
Yes S3 can get expensive, but imho this swings the pendulum too far in the other direction. Something like a riak cluster of four 2U/24-drive servers would get you the cost structure of good colo but the features/resilience/operational-flexibility of something more like s3.
Usually when you transfer a domain you buy an extra year on top of whatever time you have left... but you'll have to check with the company you are transferring to.

Because it's cheap, popular, and most people don't interact with their domain registrar aside from registration and renewal.

Why do people buy clothes made in sweat shops or from chains that are terrible to it's employees? A lot of it just comes down to cost.

And even if you know how terrible something is (morally or ethically), some people aren't willing to change.
