Personally I do not think this attitude is hard to deal with. You just have to, despite their tone, not take it personally and calmly thank them for reporting the problems and say that you are working on them (if that is true, which it should be). This is constructive criticism delivered in an ugly way.

Complaining customers are the much better than the silent ones or the apologizing fanboys, since then the complainers help you building a better product for everyone.

Personally, I am amazed that anyone stayed with GoDaddy after the Seclists.org debacle. I switched to Gandi at that point and I have been really happy with them so far.

I'll answer whatever I can (nathan@thinklegend.com), but I think we are in a similar position. I'd love to hear what you learn.
Letting Godaddy host your domains actually costs them money, doesn't it? They provide it as a free service hoping that you will renew your domains with them.
These are due to bugs in the compiler, not inherent property of optimizations. It's quire rare for anyone to hit a optimizer bug and when it happens one can always selectively disable the buggy optimization method. Disabling all optimizations kinda overdoes it.
Well... most of them. I have one .name address to move yet.
I'm glad I started using Namecheap instead of Godaddy. I was inexperienced about registrars at that time...it was Russian Roulette choosing the right registrar. Thank goodness Namecheap's interface wooed me over GoDaddy's. I beat the bullet.

I've got a chase card, they used to lock it every time I'd buy bike parts from the UK. But they've been real good at keeping notes when I call them, and I haven't had a problem since. I use my chase card with Gandi too, and I would guess they lock you up because Gandi is a foreign co, and you're card doesn't see a whole lot of action in Paris. One call to chase telling them you expect to make more purchases from Gandi should fix it.
I expressed the same sentiment elsewhere [1] and the results have been interesting. Some responses were ideological, but no one really addressees the core point: there's an awful lot of effort going in to targeting GoDaddy, which is a proxy for the issue. It seems that the latent distaste for GoDaddy is driving people to conflate the two issues: 1) GoDaddy is a pretty scabby company in general, 2) we shouldn't support companies that support SOPA. Then all of the sudden GoDaddy stands alone as the fall guy.

Here's a step-by-step guide on how to transfer domains from Godaddy to Namecheap:

You are indeed correct, and I usually agree with RMS on this[1]. It's a bit hard to answer posts talking about IP without using the term yourself, though.

Also, while it's clear that there are different motivations behind Copyright, Patents and Trademarks and it's often important to make a clear distinction between them, I object against them due to the same reason (owning abstract concepts is absurd to the point of insanity), so I do tend to lump them together in a context such as this.

Therein lies a great example of GoDaddy's shady sales tactics. Purchasing a domain from them is an exercise in dodging their high-pressure checkout sales tactics. It's page after page of "Would you like to add thiiiiiis lovely service to your domain purchase wink, wink <HUGE GRIN>?"

None of the additional services are required. You do not have to buy your SSL through GoDaddy if you are registered with them. You don't have to buy anything other than the domain through them, but they go out of their way to make it feel otherwise.
This can be enabled now by Quartz Debug (and then logging out) and using System Preferences, Displays to set a monitor to HiDPI. The effect is best if you have two monitors because the display you choose will be reduced to 1/4 of the usable space.

A checkbox per application seems a little odd. Right now HiDPI is per window; if you move most of a window onto the HiDPI display it automatically starts rendering everything at double size. This makes UI elements quite nice and it makes text very beautiful.
No one should be put in a dilemma like that, human life&death is not something that can be processed by insurance companies as logical/profitable.

We'll be transferring ~30 domains later today.
Wow, it looks like a surprisingly large number of sites refuse to be framed. Shouldn't be too much of a surprise when you consider the threat of click-jacking, but interesting to see none-the-less.
Anything you haven't tried, doesn't work. That's a truism in computing.

(Aside) I wonder if this is more accurately stated: Anything you haven't tried recently, doesn't work. Even if you have tried it recently, that's no guarantee.

Or, to paraphrase Hofstadter's Law, the probability of something working some time after you last tried it drops surprisingly quickly, even when you take into account this rule.
Really, you're not going to wait a few weeks and see if Google fixes things?
You seem to be advocating the meme of old wives tales. The idea that things back in the past were very knowledgeable, and that all of modern society with their modern methods aren't nearly as good as ancient traditional folk tales. That's silly, the scientific method, empiricalism, and modern material science has lots to teach traditionalists.
The overseas thing used to happen to me regularly too. I was traveling to San Francisco regularly for work, and after the first few trips I always made sure I had at least enough in USD on me to get to the hotel, and would always try my card first thing at the airport to get them to block it as soon as possible so I could call and get it unblocked right away.

It's gotten better - now they (Barclays) have an option in the online banking to explicitly inform them when going abroad to reduce the chance of a block. It still annoys me that I have to, but at least it's a lesser nuisance than a card block.

You'd think that after the 4th or 5th attempt, though, they would start to accept that a withdrawal of a small amount at the exact same ATM at SFO would be ok. But no.

Also, if they were to call me and check without blocking my card, I'd still be annoyed, but less so. That's what really annoys me - in no cases has there been a sudden flurry of rapid transactions, and so the risk of trying to get hold of me before blocking the card is rather small. Instead they block first and tries to call afterwards.

Another pet peeve is their security system. They call you, from a number you likely won't know is Barclays unless you take care to check the number and then save it on your phone. It's just begging for a social engineering attack by obtaining phone numbers and birth dates (the only authentication used), say from a fake online survey about banking with a price, coupled with reading up fake transactions, and proceed to put them through to an "operator" to help reverse the fake fraudulent charges, and then have the operator ask them to confirm the card details "for security", which the customers are conditioned to do when initiating the call themselves.

As much as it's more convenient, you'd think their fraud department would be more security conscious and ask you to find their number of the official website or something, but I guess that'd raise the number of complaints about their frequent blocks too much.
...you are a developer evangelist...

...while evangelizing for a company...

It should be noted that developer evangelist is a position that evangelizes on behalf of the developers, not the company. The role is generally one of ensuring that the non-developer parts of the business remain respectful of the unique needs of programmers, test engineers, and tech project managers.

So unless MSFT handed him a meaningless title, he likely does NOT evangelize for the company, and in fact is likely the strongest voice inside the company against SOPA( e.g. extolling the developers' position to the SOPA supporters in the piracy-prevention-related divisions, etc ).

I moved my few domains off Godaddy last month after the following occurred:

1) Godaddy left me a voicemail out of the blue saying they needed to talk about my account.

2) I called back and spent 5 minutes on hold, and another couple minutes digging up my PIN, only to learn that

3) They had noticed I was using Amazon EC2 and wouldn't I like to consider switching to Godaddy webhosting?

I'm embarrassed that I chose Godaddy in the first place. Never again.

PS. I switched to NearlyFreeSpeech.NET and am very happy with them.

Also quite important to mention, use of S3 will chew up your upstream bandwidth while making backups. Also, it will affect your recovery time objectives if you ever needed to run a restore (you will NOT be getting 200MByte/sec to or from S3, unless you have some sweet network connectivity).

>Compiler optimizations by themselves do not cause bugs - they reveal bugs. They are specfically designed to be sematically equivalent.

I agree that functional discrepancies are a cause for concern, but compilers have bugs too (and games programmers tend to push the limits).
from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Criticism_of_Microsoft#Licensin...

The Findings of Fact in the United States Microsoft antitrust case established that "One of the ways Microsoft combats piracy is by advising OEMs that they will be charged a higher price for Windows unless they drastically limit the number of PCs that they sell without an operating system pre-installed. In 1998, all major OEMs agreed to this restriction."[30] This has been called the "Windows tax" or "Microsoft tax".[31][32]

Is it just me or has the focus shifting from SOPA to GoDaddy (reddit too has the same trend). I'm as anti-GoDaddy as the next person but let's remember that calling your representative will help the cause more than punishing a domain registrar. Maybe if you run a popular website then informing your site visitors about the evil of the bill (like tumblr) can do much more to help the cause than moving your domain name to namecheap.

Because it sounds good to support anti-piracy -- especially when they are the ones who often host sites supporting piracy. At least, I'm assuming this is their rationale.
That'll get published when the grant proposal gets accepted.
They aren't afraid of loses from piracy

I wonder if they have drank their own Kool-Aid. Maybe they actually believe they could double their revenue if it wasn't for the pirates. Do they actually believe that every pirated film is a lost sale?

If this is how they think, then their behaviour w.r.t. SOPA et al. makes sense. They could double their profits!

First hit for "seclists godaddy" on Google for me...
What you are describing is not part of the standard Keynesian theory. The hypothetical death spiral does not follow from the math. If you disagree, could you show how it occurs?

Further, the decrease in real wages caused by stimulus (whether via a nominal cut or inflation) causes AD to increase (and GDP as well), since it puts people back to work. At least, that's what the math says.

I do realize that political pundits posing as economists (including those with Nobel prizes) often ignore the math when they don't like where it leads...
This is a borderline witch hunt.
The 1% is fine as long as they provide things that make people feel good, like providing entertainment, producing well designed gadgets or make beer. If they do things that aren't fun, like delivering fuel, sell food in a supermarket, run pension funds or making medicine, and make money doing so, they are evil and need to share their wealth . That's why Steve Jobs and Louis CK are good guys, and it's fun when Charlie Sheen brags about the money he is making and it would lead to death threats if Bob Diamond did the same.
Fight SOPA from the UK
Wow. The forum is full of so many really smart people. And the Bethesda developers are so stupid. Maybe all the people in the forum should start a company and acquire the rights to develop Elder Scrolls VI. /sarcasm

Most likely explanation: PC port was crashing, they disabled optimizations, it stopped crashing. Been there, done that. Drop dead release date approaching, no time to find the root cause. Maybe the PC game already crashes enough that the people who pick up this patch don't notice that it's crashing more now.

Dunno. The forum thread just makes my head spin with naivete. As a former game developer, I'm reminded why I could only ever read forums with one squinted eye open, head turned to the side.
Just fyi, you can generate a csv of your domains and authorization codes by doing:

Domain Management > Tools Tab > Exportable List > click Add New Export button > All your domains > and make sure to select "Authorization Code".

As for locking or unlocking, in Domain Management you should be able to just click the select all checkmark, and click the Lock button to set the lock level on all of them.

None of that should be an issue, even when transferring in, a bunch of registrars offer a bulk transfer option. The real pains start to set in if you have gTLDs which have special gotchas when transferring or changing contact information/ownership. I probably wouldn't even have been able to transfer my .it domains out of godaddy if not for the fact I have a dual citizenship which gave me some freedom with the regulations -- though it still took me hours of trial and error.

I already had four at gandi.net, and yesterday I moved my two big ones from godaddy. I still have about 10 hosted at godaddy, and even though the process to transfer is painless, I have to pay $14 x 12 to get them all moved, and I'm currently in "don't spend a lot of money because I'm in a startup" mode.
That's why the poll is missing an option. I've never registered a domain using GoDaddy, but, the way the question is phrased, I almost clicked "No", since I indeed "did not transfer my domains from GoDaddy today". Doing so would have skewed the results.
When did they start doing that? The last time I tried to find a window into the CentOS process, the Powers That Be were ignoring or belittling anyone who wondered what was going on or how to help.
Google really ought to distance itself from GoDaddy. It reflects poorly on them, and I'm quite sure that Google has enough leverage to do whatever it likes in this case.
These companies should NOT switch from GoDaddy. Let's just make sure that everybody starts using Namecheap or Gandi (or something else) and if they have the resources available do the move only then.
If you let an animal die like this, it would be called animal cruelty. I'm happy we have the option here in The Netherlands for a less painful and dignified death.
systemd doesn't appear to solve a problem, it seems to just add a layer of indirection and complication, as well as a single point of failure for ALL system startup services, rather than letting each service just handle it's own deal.

`init` already exists to kick things off properly - now init just runs systemd which then kicks things off, for no appreciable gain.

AFAIK (but I wasn't using linux at the time) the point of pulseaudio was that it was very easy for an application to lock your audio exclusively with ALSA or OSS (and still is unless ALSA is properly configured) and there were several competing "sound daemon" trying to solve this problem. Pulse audio was supposed to be the one true sound daemon, emulating everything else under the sun. Then it got sound mixing and networked audio bolted on because Poettering is the master of the kitchen sink.

Depends how far along you are and what sort of programming you want to do really.

Discrete maths and logic are probably the main areas of maths useful for computer science. Maybe look for a book on discrete maths for computer science. Set theory, graph theory etc too.

If you're interested in games and simulations then linear algebra, multivariate calculus, basic differential equations

If you're interested in data mining, some probability theory and statistics wouldn't hurt.
There are some great people at Bethesda, creating an engine that is capable of what Skyrim is capale is no small feat, so I'm sure they are perfectly aware of what they are doing.

Its hard to believe that they 'forgot' to turn on optimizations or optimize critical code paths, they simply didn't because they are probably fixing show-stopper bugs which is much more important (I'm saying this as a game developer.)

Part of it I believe is that we are spoiled by title updates, they allow developers to ship games earlier (before extensive QA testing or bug fixes) but at the same time is what the fans want and makes sense financially for their company.

So I doubt these modders can do a better job than the professionals at Bethesda, if anything they can do the trivial things that would take any novice programmer a day with a profiler.
nor will it make them change their tune

Clearly this depends on how may customers leave. Trust me, if a third of their customers walked then, yes, they would change their tune.
