Here are 3 simple changes that can prevent this:

* use 2 factor authentication (if your registrar doesn't find one that does or better yet, have ICANN rule that all registrars must have it)

* ICANN rule that says if a domain has been recently moved it can be frozen by previous owner until the matter is cleared up

* whois privacy will not only hide who the owner of the site is but also who the registrar is (if you don't know who the registar is among the hundreds out there, you can't target the right one with social engineering!)

In Kosovo there was active, widespread genocide going on. Absolutely nothing of such kind was happening in Crimea.

Additionally the Kosovo constitution offered room for secession and it's secession was consequently recognized by the vast majority of the international community.

The votes on the UN council as to the legality of Russia's actions [1] say enough, but Huffinton Post wrote a fairly comprehensive article [2] about the topic.

P.S. If you plan to link to the RT counter-piece [3] just let me know and I'll list all the factual inaccuracies for you.

I think it's actually something that will raise your anxiety level even if you are "pretty honest".

Also there are some borderline issues with taxes (and/or self employment or small corp) that can give you problems.[1] (One for example is deducting for a home office, another might be charitable deductions, another might be writing off some auto usage).

Think in terms of what happens when you see the flashing lights of a police officer in back of you. Even if you haven't been speeding you don't automatically think "no problem I didn't do anything wrong" you get anxious thinking there might have been some mistake that you have made.

Many of us view being anti-gay just as absolutely unacceptable as being pro-slavery or denying suffrage to women. It's not simply a "political view" in 2014. It's not an opinion. It's flat out wrong and supporters of that backwards mentality reap what they sow.

It is bit odd that network management is one of those things that gets iterated on fairly often. What makes this something that has difficulties converging? It seems like almost every distro has it's own solution, or several of them.

My main disagreement with the Mozilla boycott is that I believe it is wholly unfair to disregard so many years of hard work by countless contributors that have all been pivotal in the advancement of web technologies, just because of the actions of one person (even if it is their de facto figurehead), whose intentions, by the way, are still not clear.

Even more, considering Mozilla's a free software non-profit foundation. But if you're going to do it, why half-ass it? After all, Eich is the man. Go on and boycott JavaScript. A dedicated activist like Stallman would not persist merely because of convenience.
> I would suggest you still have opportunity cost to consider.

The opportunity cost comes in to the 20-year ROI column, which I admit without a change in my career trajectory would have me well below the top schools in that list.

> Assuming a four year program, you could have, on average, earned $120,000 during that time. If you then invested that at 5% until you reached retirement age, you could have earned right around $1,000,000 over your career above your regular income going forward. As such, your ROI should really be calculated on what you are able to earn in your career above that.

As you said, the actual cost depends on a lot of variables. However, that is an unrealistic starting point, at least for the period 1998 - 2002 when I was an undergrad. As a trade apprentice, which is probably the best job I could get with only high school, I would be looking at about $20,000/year, or $80,000. Plus, your starting point neglects living costs and taxes, which are going to consume a significant portion of that amount and which my scholarships covered. It further neglects working during school; I made $3,000/year - $5,000/year doing landscaping, maintenance, tutoring, and other odd jobs. That amount is about what a part-time (20 hours/week), minimum wage job would pay at that time. That cuts the opportunity cost down to $20,000 - $40,000 for the entire period, which is not much of a head start on a career that is going to pay me more than that in my first year after graduation.

> If his personal opinion* simply differs from what's popular in the community, then it's just that - different.

More importantly IMHO, you could just as logically argue that any CEO who contributed to Republican campaigns is just as guilty as Eich for working to oppose gay marriage. Individual Republicans' opinions aside, the Republican Party is still running on an opposition platform as of April 2013 after all, and that party has done far more to hurt gay marriage rights than Prop. 8 by itself.

Eich is being crucified because he's a viable target, not because of any innate guilt that he alone is imbued with. I find that quite hypocritical.

What is and isn't acceptable in figuring into professional interactions is a moving target over time. For example, actively supporting white supremacist groups would probably have drastic professional consequences today; in the 1920's there would be few if any consequences. See: Overton Window.

We're currently in a transitional period as discrimination-against-people-based-on-sexual-orientation undergoes the same social transition that discrimination-against-people-based-on-skin-color underwent a few decades ago. When it's over, people won't think of it as a political thing anymore.

I usually wake around 6:00 and check my mail. For me the best is a short summary of stories on email, say the first 4-5 lines of each item, and clickable. If a web page was customizable, that would be fine too, but as the OP says, if you are already in email it is easiest to stay in email.
Good points all, bertil. I appreciate the thoughtful response!
I sent you an email to your inbox mentioned in your user profile. Someone tried to sell me that website as well and I did some research about him (got his skype, his email, and even his address ).
I don't think it needs a solution, it's not hard to remember which direction you last moved.
Many of us view being homosexual just as absolutely unacceptable as being pro-choice or denying husbands the right to beat their wives. It's not simply a "moral view" in 2014. It's not an opinion. It's flat out wrong and supporters of that unnatural way of life reap what they sow.
Totally guessing, but it might be the thief was getting antsy and wanted to conclude a deal quickly. Maybe they did in fact have another buyer on the hook. Rather than spend all the extra time going through escrow and the potential risk of the buyer doing exactly what she intended to do (rely on raising the dispute of the domain after escrow had both halves of the transaction), the thief tried to pressure a quick sale through less regulated means.

From what I understand though, it isn't all that easy to actually stop a wire transfer once it is being processed. I wouldn't be at all surprised to hear that both sides might have actually gotten the money and the backing bank will be left trying to go after one or both of them for it.
I think "size and wealth of domestic market" and "access to capital" are the two most important ones as well. China and maybe India are going to test this hypothesis sometime within my life expectancy, I believe. Exciting times.

What I learned about stop and frisk from watching my black son
No, GoDaddy was never in doubt: "No one at either company questioned my statement (supported by written proof) that the website belonged to me. No one doubted that it had been transferred without my authority".

So GoDaddy's refusal to help was ridiculous. At the very least, they could have frozen control of the site for a day or two while investigating.
I'll take the bait. The NRA is reacting to any mention of gun control from the left the same way the left reacts to any mention of abortion restrictions from the right - don't believe anything they say, because they are trying for victory by inches. And considering some of the rhetoric flying around, they probably should (both sides).
Then why does that not follow to followers of Christianity or Judaism for instance, given that both religions do not tolerate homosexuality? Should we get rid of those people in the workplace as well?
So? Unless these employees were doing so on behalf of their employer, I don't see why it matters in the slightest.

The only reason why Brendan Eich's contribution should be an issue is because he's now the CEO of Mozilla and people are afraid that his personal beliefs on the matter will affect Mozilla. But that worry is only justified when talking about the CEO (or I suppose the Director of Human Resources, or whatever the equivalent at Mozilla is).

And even that I think might be an overreaction. From everything Brendan Eich has said publicly, it appears that he wants to keep his personal beliefs private, and that he's committed to everything Mozilla stands for in his public role as CEO. So I'm not worried that he's going to turn Mozilla into a bad work environment for gay employees. My only real worry is that he will not be proactive about improving conditions or about supporting relevant community initiatives, but the same could be said of a CEO that has no opinion whatsoever on gay marriage.

In any case, OKCupid has taken public actions (e.g. their message to Firefox users) that indicate that, as a company, they come down in favor of gay marriage. The individual beliefs and actions of their rank & file employees should not matter in the slightest.
It could be merely misguided.
Offshore firms took 50 of H-1B visas in 2013

His list of reasons has been building up for years.

Russia in 2012 passed a law allowing censorship of 'pirate websites' and has been heavily abused. Vk has been making licensing deals with Sony and other labels. Pavel is a Libertarian and is against making the website 'corporate' (like facebook, motivated by money not freedom).

Both the Ukraine, arguments with shareholders and copyright pressure are recent. Putting them together he probably saw a restricted future with VK and now he has Telegram to fallback on, he now sees it an opportunity to quit.

However, Telegram has stated it will never charge or have ads, so my theory is he will be making more websites in the future, hopefully he will make websites which embrace his Libertarian ideals.
