It's hard to believe, but I used to refer clients to them back in the day. But those commercials put a stop to that.
It was their decapitation of seclists that did it for me. The only things that differentiates DNRs and hosts from each other are reliability and customer service, and Godaddy proved to be awful at both. They are simply off the table for a lot of admins, it seems.
I'd really like to see some kind of registrar co-op, where the person registering the name is able to take complete liability for and ownership of their domain. Does such a thing exist?
Somewhere between 50% and 100% of his given population equates zionism with naziism. While this may or may not be true based on his location, I doubt it was the point he was trying to get across.
I had to spell this out for you? What reasons might I have for digging up Socrates' thigh bone and beating you with it?
Of course developing countries are great if you're not in poverty
If your definition of "great" includes living in a walled community. I've seen the circumstances several expat friends live in, and while their salaries go much, much farther they also are basically forced into a mode of living that I don't think many of us would enjoy. I truly think that one of the average American's strengths is a naive fixation on middle-class sensibilities.

Maintaining ivory towers isn't going to make public reactions to bluster any more robust.
It's all well and good to demand transparency and accessibility for data etc, but where is the money going to come from? Who's going to pay for online hosting? Who's going to pay for the researcher's time?
Also, what format will the data take? Will we standardize on one form for every department, or will we be serving up raw data straight from the instruments? We've seen people complain about lack of access to raw data, but will they complain about needing to write their own parsing software or will they demand access to the source of whatever tools the researchers used? Who's going to pay for that? What if the tool is expensive and proprietary?
Like I said, the idea of openness is a good one, but it's being presented as an unplanned, unfunded mandate. A lot more thinking needs to go into this, and I don't see anyone capable of such stepping up to the plate.
what expectation would I reasonably have that the use would be exclusive?
You mean I should assume that you will go outside our agreement at the first opportunity? If I say "I agree to let you study my blood for X condition", do you really see that as carte blanche?
Let's take this to it's logical extreme. If I get ahold of your DNA through legal means (say, from GP's mom) and set up a restaurant serving cuts of meat from your cloned body, were you "stupid and careless" to not expect such behavior?
I'd like to see an "unreasonable burden" approach to fighting certain EULAs. Anything beyond, let's say, two pages of 12 point text should fall into this category. Thirty pages of dense legalese inside an installer window will never be read by any consumer, and should be seen as negotiating in bad faith.
The worst part of these abusive EULAs is that they erode respect for the rule of law. You are consistently lying in a legal document every time you click the "I have read and agree" checkbox, and the presentation of the document does everything to promote this.
Wrong. If Group B cannot duplicate Group A's analysis of the data, that proves that Group A did something wrong and probably came to the wrong conclusion.
Or it could prove what I've been saying all along, that Group B is chock full of mouth-breathing knuckle-walkers who I wouldn't trust to clean glassware let alone run projects.
My Netflix subscription is like ten bucks a month. That's about right. Their streaming system works really well, and I just torrent everything they won't let me pay for.
"But your honor, my client downloaded and ran the program provided by the prosecution and it never found any infringing content. Clearly any content found on my client's hard drive is legal or it would have been automatically deleted."
I don't happen to agree with all that the Tea Party stands for, but I get a huge kick out of seeing the knee-jerk reaction to them by Democrats.
Gotta agree w you there, it's like someone tailor made an organization that'll push all of our buttons at once: rich, white, ignorant, cryptoracist. If I were a paranoid man I would suspect that they're purposefully misspelling their signs at rallies.
At any rate I can see that you're totally missing the point I was trying to make, and the point wasn't really worth the time we've both spent on this anyhow, so I'm going go ahead and call it.
"We're here, and now we're a sovereign nation-state, and you can go fuck yourselves earthlings."
Actually that would be pretty cool in one sense, so I dunno. As long as we can hold a lottery for the right to hunt and kill the CEO of the first company to put a "brought to you by" ad on the moon I guess I'd be all for it.
If I have to read the word "fanboi" or "freetard" one more time on that site I'm going to come unglued. A few of their authors struggle mightily to spread their stupid pet memes. Lack of diligent editing IMO.

Because they're developers, not workplace design specialists.

Thanks, Alex, but auditions will be held later.

[...]does not mean others are not anti-comparative, and by others, I mean Apple.
vis a vis oranges, I'm guessing?
As a discussion on the Middle East lengthens, the probability of someone juxtaposing Zionists with Nazis approaches 1.
Have you thought your sig through to its logical conclusion?
GIMP does not support CMYK. A play in one act.
Man 1: But GIMP does support CMYK.
Man 2: Not well enough for my needs.
Man 1: You don't really need that level of support.
Man 2 [to himself]: wtf?
Curtain.
It's not a bomb, it's a giant fast forward button!
What price beats free?

Sorry to threadjack, but I wanted people to see the actual article the brief blog post links to.
Hang your head in shame, Timothy.
"But your honor, my client downloaded and ran the program provided by the prosecution and it never found any infringing content. Clearly any content found on my client's hard drive is legal or it would have been automatically deleted."
"We don't care, you're fucked if we say so."
If you can't commit to supporting software for at least 3 years, you have no right marketing to businesses.
I hear this all the time from people who never actually had to use their Microsoft support.
Some dumb teacher probably just left their admin password laying around on a post-it note[...]
The password was "pencil".
Don't ever, ever ask me to click on a link related to Michelle Malkin.

My iPhone just had me agree to a new EULA for the app store.
92 iphone pages long. And they have the balls to ask me if I've read the agreement.
I think EULAs should be entirely enforceable, but I think companies should be legally bound to quiz you afterwards. No pass, no install.
This was essentially the first thing out of my mouth when I saw Berners-Lee's initial web page.
mea maxima culpa (and, of course, mea story I'll repeat ad nauseum to the grandkids)
I don't know, the GP was basically calling Obama a nigger. That's pretty trollish.
Maybe you're looking for a "+1 yeah he's a fucktard but he did have one good point" mod?
Yes. Why not?
