Same with one of mine. I'm wondering whether the site is merely checking to see if the domain is using godaddy's name servers (mine don't) rather than lookup and parse the Whois info (the only way to really tell).
Another way (for the client after setting the server up):

Create the file ~/.ssh/config, then fill it like this:

Host mymachineip

Port 443
I use the command line too, but MySQL Workbench using SSH tunnelling might be a good solution:

Leadership Lessons From the Shackleton Expedition
I have one domain still registered under Go Daddy. It was originally registered through Google Apps, which at that time only offered Go Daddy as their "partner" Domain Registrar.

Currently Google offer eNom, inc. as the alternative to Go Daddy, which I'm not too fond of.

I'd like to move this one domain to another registrar without causing troubles to my Google App service.
Building simple FPS walking scene with OpenGL in 15 minutes of code poetry
I tested this with a few domains which are registered at GoDaddy and it says they are not registered at Godaddy.

It looks like this is pulling the GoDaddy DNS (since none of my domains use the GoDaddy DNS) rather than if the domain is actually registered at GoDaddy or not.
> Otherwise if the ant was just spawned sitting on my hill, the target border tile is determined using some complex calculation considering the ratio of own/enemy ants near that border position, the possible distance to enemy hills, how many ants are already on a mission to a near border tile and how long they do need to reach their desitnation... Oh, I'm kidding, it was random. Completely random. Like in
target = area.border.get(turnRandom.nextInt(area.border.size()));

Nice pun targeted at over-thinking of things. If you try to take many things into account without any concrete knowledge of how they influence outcome you'll get random result. So you may just start with random and see if it's good enough.
"""I come to HN to get away from the numerous attempts at humor. When everyone is doing it, it grows tiresome."""

1) Not everyone at HN is a robot trying to avoid humor (or "attempts at it"). I don't propose we narrow everything to the standards of suits and/or Asperger's sufferers.

2) Humor is totally compatible with hacker culture --hell, 60% of "the hacker dictionary" documents pans, inside jokes and "trenches" humor.

3) Some of the best technical documents have "attempts at humor" inside. There is even a whole programming language named after a comedy troupe from what I hear.

4) I find the notion that humor is something unworthy, or beneath a HN thread insulting.

5) I also take particular offense with the "OBSCENE" accusation. Is a hacker culture site supposed to be a hangout for prudes? We are consenting adults here, and we know what a bj means. And --I would like to believe-- we don't find mere words "offensive" --words are only offensive if they are used AGAINST someone (and in that case, any word can be offensive).

6) The comment also teaches you the pronunciation of two valid foreign words, and notes an amusing coincidence with two recent internet legislation acronyms.

(Also note that you can't separate humor from "attempts at humor").

Ramanujan's second letter to Hardy [1]:

"Dear Sir, I am very much gratified on perusing your letter of the 8th February 1913. I was expecting a reply from you similar to the one which a Mathematics Professor at London wrote asking me to study carefully Bromwich's Infinite Series and not fall into the pitfalls of divergent series. … I told him that the sum of an infinite number of terms of the series: 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + ... = −1/12 under my theory. If I tell you this you will at once point out to me the lunatic asylum as my goal. I dilate on this simply to convince you that you will not be able to follow my methods of proof if I indicate the lines on which I proceed in a single letter. ..."

Yes. The article frustratingly kept identifying "maximizing shareholder value" as the problem and the naive "delight customers" as the solution. Maximizing shareholder value would be much more closely aligned with society's interests if shareholders had the information needed to distinguish real value being built from a company being strip mined.

I think that fallacy should be called the anthropic fallacy (I don't think the fallacy has a name yet).

What you describe works fine in theory; the problem is that in practice it's ridiculously easy to overestimate how likely the average user is to train themselves to expect this behavior. In general, we (power users, developers, etc.) tend to adapt to consistent UI behaviours very quickly and to overestimate how difficult it is for an average user, but when it comes to things that are _invisible_ until you do something, the gap is much greater yet.

I don't like it :

* SOPA isn't mentioned on the page.

* The reason of " hate " isn't clear. Hating someting just because it's hip is nonsense.

* "Top searched domains list" is useless, you have to list the domains that gave promise but doesn't act.

* Again, in a clear text : It's not about GoDaddy, it's about SOPA.
You might have observed that it wasn't all that funny or witty and I might have agreed with you.

But commenting on what you wrote: obscene doesn't mean what you want it to mean. Perhaps you should take your prudery, your censorship, your sense of entitlement and your geeky elitism elsewhere.

Top
Top = (i) at the top of a page or sheet of paper (NOT on) (= the uppermost part of anything): ‘Please write your name clearly at the top of First page.’ (ii) highest or extreme point of something (usually mountain or hill): ‘The view from the top was wonderful.’ (iii) the upper flat surface of something: ‘I eventually found the keys on top of the television.’ (iv) the highest position (as in rank or achievement): ‘She topped in her class.’
Win
Win = (i) to achieve or get something, especially by efforts: ‘She won praise for her hard work.’ (ii) to get a victory in a contest, match, race, competition etc.: ‘Our team won the match by three wickets.’ ‘Who won the Nobel prize in literature last year?’

Beat a person, team or group (in a game, match, race, competition, election etc.): ‘They’re a good team but I’m sure we can beat them.’

Exactly. Healthy profits are the (inevitable?) result of a well run business, which requires attention being paid to a variety of factors, not just the bottom line.

Failing to understand this, and focusing exclusively - or even disproportionally - on the bottom line, is likely to improve it in the short run, diminish it in the medium run, and destroy it in the long run.

I closed mine so I could finish college and learn to program better. I was 6 months from graduating and we had a choice of either raising money and dropping off college or closing the startup so we could graduate. As we didn't have a MVP completed, the feedback from our beta team wasn't entirely positive and my cofounder needed more help in the technical side than I could assist (I coded very very slow), we decided to close.

Next year I am joining a large startup as an employee and have been teaching myself how to program for the past couple months, following Joel Spolsky's tip, reading Code, K&R and SICP. So far it has been amazing, learning alot. I am almost through the first half of K&R.
Before we start getting to smug about our sense of free will, let me just point out that there are widespread human brain parasites.

I agree. Expanding your horizons is great, and if you get to do it with a loved one, that's even better, but it's not a necessary part of every relationship. I've dated guys who knew nothing about programming, and I wouldn't be ashamed to take them to company parties to mingle with my fellow programmers, and I don't look down on spouses I meet who don't program either, they're often interesting in a different way.

EDIT: Oops, typo.

Once SOPA and PIPA are killed, maybe we should push for eliminating DMCA. It's time to stop being reactive by waiting until MPAA/RIAA come up with a new law, and start being pro-active and push back against them with the elimination of DMCA, elimination of the ridiculous and shameless century old copyright terms, and so on.

And also start pushing for stronger fair use and laws that will protect Internet freedom and will make illegal proposing laws like SOPA in the future.

"I still don't get how a few thousand lost domains hurt when godaddy has over 32 million."

Probably never hurt them financially. What they may not like is the idea that leaving GoDaddy is a thing, and not using GoDaddy is a thing.
Let major tobacco companies expect that if drugs were legalized, they could expand their business. They may start lobbing in favor of legalization right away.
One has to remember that Portugal did not completely legalize drugs. Possession of small amounts and usage were legalized.

Dealing is still a big crime there, due to the citizens of Portugal not wanting to be akin the worlds drug den. The different viewpoint of legalizing usage was that it is a medical problem, and not a evil crime. Even that said, Portugal also made their problems less severe by bringing them out in the open instead of draconian punishments forcing users to hide.

The biggest hurdle for Portugal's idea to work in the USA is that we do not have any sort of socialized or national healthcare in which to attach a "fund substance abuse as medical problem" freely as Portugal does already. I can imagine that issue alone taking 10+ years in Congress, if any action is done at all.

It's nice to promote open data, etc. but lets be honest- it's all about the money. And Google charging for Google Maps usage is going to result in a lot of people doing this.

I'd advise that everyone at least explores the possibilities out there, though. I'm making a mobile app right now that uses roadmaps, and have ended up generating my own map tiles using TileMill and open data. It's surprisingly easy to do, and makes things like offline caching (not possible with the Google Maps license) possible.

Implement Custom Printing Logic & Enhanced Word Documents Printing
Printing is a function that has been around in Aspose.Words for .NET for quite a while. We are proud to announce to that starting in Version 10.5, printing is also fully supported in Aspose.Words for Java. You can easily print all or only specified pages of a document with just a few lines of code. The Aspose.Words for Java API provides the handy Document.Print method whose overloads allow you to print a document using various different options with just one line of code. You can choose to print using default settings, print to a specific printer by name and even printing options such as page range to print.

I look at a facebook page of stuff. EG my wall. I want to remove a post. How do I do this? I dunno, there's a menu for that post underneath it, so I look there. It's not there. I hover around there. It's still not there. I maximise the browser window, just in case some element got hidden in a resize. Maximising is slightly tricky on OSX, I don't just clicky the green button. With the window maximised I still can't find it. I have a look around the post for extra items. I can't see anything. I start moving my pointer, and I see a flash of pale blue on a white background. Maybe that's it? Nope, that's some other function, but now I know there might be a hidden button. (Note that I don't know there is a hidden button, just that there might be one somewhere.) Eventually, I find this hidden button, and clicky, and the post is removed.

Can you imagine how frustrating that is?

Now imagine I'm someone who is used to using the keyboard; or I have a motor-function illness which means I find using mice hard or etc etc.

For sure I understand all the points about why some people love this functionality. But please give me an option to turn it off and have all controls exposed on the page.

While I understand the idea behind this article, it was hard to get beyond the initial metaphor, which I find highly misplaced.

In sports, for the most part, the only fact that matters is a win. with the exception of rare subjective ranking systems (such as coaches polls in college football), the quality of a win doesn't matter. Of course if a coach is playing in these systems, and not doing enough to meet the expectations of the fan base, there will definitely be repercussions.

In the business world, a profit of $0.01 is very different from a profit of $1.00. Of course there are numerous valuation models, but the amount of profit/revenue/etc almost always matters, as opposed to sports which use a binary valuation system (win or loss).

I appreciate the overall message, and believe that the market is willing to embrace this sort of logic. Jeff Bezos is a great example of a leader focusing on long term performance and being rewarded for it.
