Secret option number 5: I never used GoDaddy in the the first place as their marketing and UX are incredibly shoddy.
It's not an error to divide by zero per the IEEE floating point specification, and you'll find the same behavior in most modern languages:

That URL provides no support for your claim at all, and OpenBSD isn't even mentioned. Sadly, a moderate amount of Googling has turned up nothing about why OpenBSD doesn't allow the Apache License: all dead ends. The only thing that turns up is "well, we don't like it philosophically". Perhaps you could point to something more concrete.

"Mixing copyright law with patent law", whatever that means, has nothing to do with risk in commercial products. Apache is very well regarded as a BSD-style license in the commercial environment.
Closing Strait of Hormuz not so easy for Iran: analysts
Indeed. As a customer, if I want to know how to get in contact with someone at a later date, the quickest and most convenient way to obtain that information is still to ask for a business card.

Noting down an email address and making sure you've spelled it properly takes time, something that is not always available during a brief meeting in a public space.

What does baffle me is that phone manufacturers have never been able to turn vcard exchanges into something instantaneous and convenient. There's usually always some form of handshake that involves navigating convoluted menus, or else leaving your phone perpetually discoverable and hence open to spamming or worse (for that reason, many devices don't allow this full stop).

> If you don't like GoDaddy, or disagree with some of their policies, don't use them.

... that's exactly what we're doing. What, do you think we're firebombing GoDaddy's headquarters and killing its executives?
While your view might be acceptable for some things, it's not acceptable when it comes to godaddy.

Their CEO is a bad person, they do a lot of bad things, they're exempt from SOPA, they support it, they helped redact it, they never withdrew SOPA support for real.

They threaten the 1st amendment of the US constitution - except it wil affect far more people than just the people of the US, the people for whom the US constitution was written for.

Please take these arguments somewhere else where they hold.
i am generally regarded as an intelligent person, but i personally believe that intelligence is a highly overrated quality. speaking generally, being surrounded by intelligent people is "better", but if i ask myself, i'd rather have my girlfriend faithful, sweet and caring, my friends funny and reliable and my co-workers expert and easy-going because being stuck in an office with an intelligent moron 8 hours a day is not something i wish for myself.

so, while it is obviously better to have a friend fun AND intelligent or a girlfriend sweet AND intelligent, in the end pure smartness is never the first quality i look for in people.
In the words of Elie Wiesel, "Take sides. Neutrality helps the oppressor. Never the victim. Never the tormented." It obviously doesn't feel quite right to equate this whole fiasco to what Wiesel was talking about, but I just cannot think of a quote more fitting than that.

Too often people think inaction implies neutrality . It does not. It's an enabling behavior. Passivity is a free permission slip for the status quo to persist onward.

In the end you do have to pick and choose your battles. For me personally, this time I simply had to do it -- I transferred. It was a very clear choice for me, frankly I don't see why it isn't also a clear choice for you either (it's not that difficult to make the change, if you have the docs handy, etc.), but hey, whatever suits you.

The New York Times non-apology, and the end of lazy marketing language
You're also posting endless articles (Not you personally ;) ), trying to poke everyone else into doing the same.
True, it does, but it's entirely different still. "searching, inspecting" are just different with used goods. For one, "searching" involves finding out whether there is anybody who can provide any goods, not whether there is a supplier who can give you as much product as you need. You cannot find a supplier in China to build you more used Aeron chairs. Apple and Amazon have wildly different options in that area.

Secondly, "inspecting" may boil down to a similar process of QA, but I think it should be obvious that assuring quality in a production process of new goods is a very straightforward thing while for used goods, you probably need a new process with every supplier you find.

And I agree that there is an astonishing growth in optimizing any kind of operations process. However, that still doesn't increase supply. This cuts back to his main argument: "grow revenue without costs growing proportionally". If you have a finite supply of used Aeron chairs, acquisition of the remaining chairs becomes increasingly hard - up until the point where there aren't any, anymore.

So yes, I added the argument of finite (if only temporary) supply, but it was only to extend his argument of proportional growth of cost. And yes, there is room for optimization and that may be sufficient to keep a business afloat - certainly if they are flexible with their inventory - but there are still natural limits to such a business, and that makes all the difference in the world.

Music, Cinema and all these forms of Art are signs that we are civilized.

What surprises me is that it took the SOPA fiasco to get people to move their domains from GoDaddy. A while back, I bought one domain from them and it took less than a month for me to transfer it out. The service was just that bad.

Not only is GoDaddy a morally reprehensible company, but more disturbingly they're not even a good registrar. They constantly try to upsell you, they plaster your domains with ads. They don't even allow certain certain kind of DNS records… (their UI doesn't allow for a wildcard CNAME for example). I don't need elephants or congress bills to stay far away from GoDaddy, their crappy product is more than enough.

What they're getting is well deserved.

If I go out and do bad things, I go to jail, people will hate me / dislike me and wish that I stay in jail for a long time because I'm a criminal.

Why should people & companies who threaten important civil rights and liberties be treated differently? It's not OK to do crimes which affect 1-100 persons, but it's OK to affect the basic civil liberties & free speech of hundreds of millions, perhaps even billions?

Any entity, a company or a number of individuals, which does something like this should suffer consequences. If it's a company, then it should really go away.

A company is responsible for its image. People don't owe them anything, so that the said company deserves the money of their clients. They must have a good image and keep their customers happy. Either they do that, or they should go out of business.

All in all, keeping customers happy means you must also uphold some moral values and protect civil liberties.
A lot of other companies were involved in writing SOPA, and even more support it still, that are not treated the same way GoDaddy is. There are a lot of other CEOs who did very bad things - but I don't see people boycotting them, either.

Just boycotting one SOPA supporter won't buy you anything, either.

Do tell me though, why GoDaddy is exceptional, and why the same treatment doesn't apply to the rest of the SOPA supporters.. because I honestly don't see the difference: they're all bad.
Given that you can get anything AWS does cheaper elsewhere I don't think argue that.

AWS's advantages are many, but price isn't really a critical one.
What about Java?
It has some quite mature 3d game libraries now, checkout jmonkeyengine for example and 2d is a doddle.

It can run on all 3 major desktop platforms as well as android (though you may have to use different libs for some parts) and can be embedded into a webpage easily via an applet.

The only platform you would need to re-implement for would be iOS but your going to hit that problem whatever you do (not sure what it's JS support is like though).

Of course the most crossplatform would just be to build the entire game using web forms in RoR or something.

I'm not sure though that cross platform games are even that great an idea as in reality you tend to end up with lowest common demoninator.

As a PC gamer I'm getting a bit annoyed by new games that used to be based around PC coming out primarily for console and then being ported to PC with dumbed down controls and graphics that don't do a high end PC justice.
Google collects personal data to make their advertising product better for advertisers. Translating that into something along the lines of "we track you to make the product better for you" is misleading to a degree that it deserves to be called bullshit.

Obviously, there are indirect benefits to users from advertising. It's what funds the service after all. But there is a balance, and tracking has made the product worse for me to the point where I have stopped using it.

The closest you will get to this I think is Unity although that doesn't currently have Linux support.

All programming is done using Mono and it also contains a load of proprietary tools for asset generation as well as stuff for AI etc.
> People say that, but I don't see it.

It all depends on where you look at. I can't remember the last corporate software piece I saw being delivered as a desktop application.

Stand-alone software for iOS has one advantage over web applications in that users sometimes face lack of connectivity. The Facebook app, IIRC, is delivered as a standalone app, but, in reality, is nothing but a web application. It's not alone and there are definite advantages to their approach. Most software appears to be entertainment - games, social thingies etc. They are the kind of games one would expect to be delivered as a Flash application within a brorser on a desktop.

I am not familiar enough with the Mac App Store, but, while there are some more "serious" offerings, in line with the desktop apps I mentioned, most of them appear to be, again, games and other entertainment related stuff. That and front-ends to net-centric applications such as Evernote.
"Diss" is a new spelling of the original "dis".
It isn't a clear choice, because the service they provide is something I didn't have a problem with, and moving would mean extra work and effort I'm not willing to pay. Why am I not willing to pay the price?

Because, as I wrote, I'd have to do the same thing with every other company who's services I use, when I don't agree with their decisions, or find their CEO someone who should be locked away and never spoken of ever again.

If I'm starting to boycot companies based on what they support, then I will do it with all of them, not just a single one. However, that is not possible.

I'm not neutral, either. I'm not going to use GoDaddy for any more domains in the future (partly due to their support for SOPA, partly for other reasons). I just won't move my domains from there, because it's not worth the effort.

got forced to use BoA when they bought LaSalle Bank (domestic arm of ABN Amro) and wow does BoA suck. you cannot even compare their online interface to Chase, Chase's is vastly superior.

BoA sucks so bad that LaSalle Bank was awesome in comparison. if there were one US bank i could make collapse it would be BoA: it has awful customer service, crappy online interface and is run like a giant turd.

nothing quite like waiting 45 minutes to make a fucking wire transfer at a branch. employees turn over at their chicago branches more often than any other bank i've ever been to.
I believe you are arguing against something I didn't posit.
Google certainly has a lecit business and has gained success because of good products, and it's easy to "liberate" a lot of data.

My point was that while changing search engine is easy:

* migrating all your data is way harder

* opting out of some google online services (e.g. maps) does not free me from third parties relying on them (e.g. android, iphone)

* I can't change the habits of the rest of the world, so I'm stuck with them if I want to join ai-class.org, read something on blogger or peruse a project mailing list on groups.

* the fact that the services are good _is_ a lockin, as it makes it harder to get off of them

Just this. Changing search engine is easy, opting out of google's products is, at least for me, much much harder.

I love google the company and their products, it just seems nearly impossible to get out of their reach without resorting to RMS-style "I email myself web pages I want to read" estremisms.
Am I supposed to install an opt-out plugin for every single tracking service in the world? There are hundereds of those, and asking each of them to voluntarily stop tracking me makes no sense.
I'm the choir you're talking about, on all of his major points, and I'd never heard the term "cognitive liberty" before this video. I'd like to think I'm well-informed on these topics, too.

These things are beneficial, if only for the same-page-ification that the choir requires from time to time.

This makes sense if you're selling some niche code to businesses, but things like the Sveasoft Linksys firmware drama indicate that selling direct to users, especially technical users who understand and maybe already use the GPL, is a whole different world.

Yes, but Linksys is selling routers, not software. And basing their firmware on GPL'ed code presumably reduces cost and time to market. The same applies to Sveasoft.

Some people think they can have their cake and eat it too.

The price of using GPL is setting your users free.

I've got reasons to suspect that guy is working for godaddy as he keeps defending them.

I really wish I could've downvoted him.
when i closed a Nat City (PNC) account a few years back the "banker" must have had an IQ of like 80. afaict she was an exotic dancer and this was her day job.

every single form she presented to us that was needed to close out the account had errors in it to the point it was funny: she mismatched names and SSNs, printed stuff on incorrect lines, etc. took an hour to escape

Referral links all the way through the post every time Linode is mentioned, not really cool.

It makes what might be an interesting post read as an advertisement, which lets face it, it basically is.
If your business model is dependent on being just awkward enough to use that you generate extra page impressions but not awkward enough that you drive away traffic, to borrow an aviation term you're flying awfully close to coffin corner. Particularly when you're dependent on network effects; if enough people start discovering something that's less awkward for them (such as OKC), the network effect will start working against you and you're suddenly so 2004 with a database of inactive users and a reputation for being awkward to use. Plus, if you're dependenet on awkward usability inherently generating more pageviews, surely by definition those pageviews are also more rapid so the time each ad is being displayed to each user is lower, so the savvy ad buyer would also be paying less.

Now, I could make the case that PoF has ridden the wave for long enough to build Markus enough money that if it all fails tomorrow he's still made for life and only really lost pride, but....
Or Shiva3D?
Regardless, protests like this never achieve anything apart from wasting peoples times.

It's ironic you should say this. The type of people who think exactly this, is imo the reason nothing ever gets done as well. What I'm seeing is people doing something (voting with their wallet). As the saying goes All that is necessary for evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing.

If you don't like GoDaddy, or disagree with some of their policies, don't use them. It's the whipping people up into an internet hate mob unconcerned with any facts that I find distasteful.

You may have a point. Many people don't take the time to check facts, they instead rely on the moral compass of their peers to take a direction. That's how the world usually works and it won't change tomorrow. However, in this case precisely, I fail to see which facts you'd like to bring to light, that would play in GoDaddy's favor, or how someone would take the time to move their domains without some prior understanding of why they're doing it. Also, what exactly qualifies this as a 'hate mob' rather than an angry mob?
There has been a secular trend to more downvotes in the last few years here.
