  1. Re:No Real Savings in the new Streaming Bundles on Cord-Cutters Are Ditching Their Cable Packages At the Fastest Rate Ever (axios.com) · · Score: 1

    I just cut my Charter tv service last week. Before the cut I was paying $55 for internet and $95 for tv. Cutting out the TV raised my internet rate by $6.

    BTW, since when http://kodi.tv/ was seized? I don't use it but i don't remember seeing anything about they losing their website.
    "This domain name has been seized by ICE - Homeland Security Investigations, pursuant to a seizure warrant issued by a United States District Court under the authority of 18 U.S.C 981 and 2323. "

    it's an April fools joke.

  3. Re:Well now. on Top EU Court: Libraries Can Digitize Books Without Publishers' Permission · · Score: 1

    The Ramsey County Libraries all seem to have cafes and coffee shops. The one in Roseville has a Dunn Bros coffee shop inside it, and Maplewood has a cafe of some sort. Hennepin County Libraries seem to have similar.

    Fully agreed, I just upgraded to CS6 and I'm not planning on moving.

    When it finally warms up to 52 here in Minneapolis I'll have shorts on.

  6. Re:You want all your eggs in one basket? on Ask Slashdot: Where Are the Complete Hosting Providers? · · Score: 1

    I don't. Few hosts have the brains and manpower to handle that many services at once. Pick the best for each one, and be glad that they're the best. Besides, if their data center is DDOS'd, you want all your services going down at once? Likely not.

    I came here to post this as well. I'd rather have redundant servers in different geographical locations.

  7. Re:Antipiracy hijacking of traffic on The Pirate Bay Claims It Is Now Hosting From North Korea · · Score: 1

    The Level3.net domain name is registered at MarkMonitor, a domain registrar that also protects trademarks. It does not mean that traffic is going through Mark Monitor.

    Yandex shows up in my logs as "Yandex bot".

  9. Re:What do they do? on A Least Half a Million Raspberry Pis Sold · · Score: 1

    Move him over to a shared hosting plan for $12-15 a year. Many providers have plans in that price range.

    if you fold your thumb inside your hand while punching, you're going to break your thumb. Don't do that :)

    I just picked up a THREE pack of the Orange cupcakes for 90 cents at the local Hostess outlet :)

  12. Re:vBulletin on Ask Slashdot: What Is the Best Way To Add Forums To a Website? · · Score: 2

    another recommendation for SMF here. I run it on two forums and highly prefer it over both VBulletin and Phorum.

  13. Re:When it's Free to be Anonymous, on EU Privacy Watchdog To ICANN: Law Enforcement WHOIS Demands "Unlawful" · · Score: 1

    As does NameSilo.com. They've got some of the lower prices I've seen. You can use coupon code BUCKOFF to save a dollar on your first order with them.

    Internet.bs has low prices also and always free whois privacy. They don't generally do coupons though.

    What about dictionary.com and thesaurus.com?

    Those are about the only 2 examples I can think of. In general I agree with your post.

  17. Re:dcwg.org on Taking Down DNSChanger: A First Person Account · · Score: 2

    All of the 4 letter .com domains have been registered. They expire and drop sometimes, and people grab them from places like SnapNames and NameJet. There's also an aftermarket where you can find the less desirable combinations for about $25-$100.

    There are plenty of 4 letter .net and .org domains that aren't registered yet, and they can be had for the price of registration at your favorite registrar.

  19. Re:More interesting question: who hasn't on Wikipedia To Dump GoDaddy Over SOPA · · Score: 2

    internet.bs is a great registrar, and they provide free domain privacy. You can either use their name and address on whois, or your name with their address. They have great pricing, also. I moved a few domains to them a couple years ago and have been steadily moving more over.

  20. Re:Other Offenses on How a Gesture Could Get Your Google+ Profile Picture Yanked · · Score: 2

    It's not against the law to flip off a cop:

    U.S. District Judge David S. Cercone ruled David Hackbart exercised his constitution right to free speech in 2006 when he angrily displayed his middle finger to another driver during a parking dispute in Squirrel Hill and when he displayed the same gesture to Officer Brian Elledge, who told Hackbart to stop.

    “The United States Supreme Court has long recognized that non-verbal gestures and symbols may be entitled to First Amendment protection,” Cercone wrote in his 19-page opinion and order filed Monday. “Moreover, several courts, including federal and state courts in Pennsylvania, have found that the expressive use of the middle finger is protected speech under the First Amendment.”

  21. Re:whois still says voxel.net (godaddy) for me on Imgur.com: Why We Dumped GoDaddy · · Score: 1

    Voxel appears to be a hosting company. I'm still seeing whois results showing Godaddy as the registrar, though. It may be in the transfer proces.

  22. Re:Fuck GoDaddy - switch anyway. on Go Daddy Reverses Course On SOPA · · Score: 1

    There's horror stories out there about 1&1, like trouble transferring out and billing for domains that you've cancelled.

    I would recommend dynadot, internet.bs, and namecheap instead.

  23. Re:So it must be time on GoDaddy Backs SOPA · · Score: 2

    internet.bs is a good registrar.

    Name.com, namecheap, and domain.com all have transfer specials right now because of Godaddy's support.

  24. Re:It's about the prices on GoDaddy Backs SOPA · · Score: 4, Informative

    +1 for internet.bs, I've been using them for about 18 months now with absolutely no problems. Clean interface, great pricing, no upsells.

  25. Re:William Gibson on Ask Slashdot: What Do You Like To Read? · · Score: 1

    I'm a big fan of Gibson and cyberpunk and wanted to throw out another suggestion. The Avery Cates series by Jeff Somers is a gritty cyberpunk series that reminds me of early Gibson books. Definitely a must-read if you're a fan of early Gibson.
