GoDaddy did NOT reverse their stance on SOPA. They only removed the publication on their supporting stance of SOPA. So they still support it, they just don't say it out loud.
A lot of people/companies movies their domains away, not just wikipedia or imgur, or the humble bundle people. A lot of people have done it. I wrapped up moving my domains today (started after the previous domain dispute wit godaddy that was reported on/.).
It would be more interesting to see what companies, specially those that rely on user contribution, decided not to move away from the shitty registrar called GoDaddy.
For who care, I moved my domains to Gandi. So far the service is great, the gratis DNS management is also ok (you can pretty much copy paste zone files). Gandi is a non-US company (French), they support EFF (and a bunch of other projects/.ers like), oppose SOPA: http://www.gandibar.net/post/2011/12/23/Gandi-s-Opposition-to-the-SOPA-Legislation
This sounds like adding more red tape to solve a technical problem. Trust is still defined by a single path up to a root that I apparently should trust blindly.
No, you don't lose "Intellectual Property". You just gave non exclusive right for Twitter, and everybody else, to distribute your "intellectual Property". But it's still yours.
Then again, given twitter's size limit, it's not protected under the general interpretation of copyright. It's only 160 characters.
How often have you heard things like "My nephew is good with computers, he could do X"?
In the short history that computers exist we've made them too simple so that the average person thinks it's not complicated to keep those things running correctly (or develop new and better versions of it). The average person thinks a car (or even airplane for that matter) is more complicated than a computer. And this believe also translates towards the price they are willing to pay for it. Although that's not a bad thing, expect when you expect a Trabant to perform like a Ferrari.
OpenSSL only goes up to TLS1.0, which contains some vulnerabilities. (Note sure if these issue affect OpenVPN). PolarSSL (which is created by a Dutch company, which might be the reason that was chosen) supports up to TLS1.1. Why they didn't go for the more feature complete and mature GnuTLS would be an interesting question.
So 16 year olds are adults when they kill somebody or marry 30 year olds? But they are children when they fuck on camera, try to vote, or drink alcohol?
16 years is a child. If you don't believe it, then upload a naked picture of a 16 year old. I'm sure they'll charge you for distributing child pornography.
Also, bad analogy. CaffeeScript compiles to JavaScript source code. This new language from Eclipse compiles to Java bytecode (just like Groovy, Scala, +various other languages).
Non-profits and applications deemed in the public interest (as determined by Google at its discretion) are not subject to these usage limits. For example, a disaster relief map is not subject to the usage limits even if it has been developed and/or is hosted by a commercial entity. In addition we recommend that eligible Non-profits apply for a Maps API Premier license through the Google Earth Outreach program. This provides a number of benefits, including the right to opt-out of advertising, higher quotas for Maps API web services, and technical support.
Do you wonder why the software world is loaded with bugs?
Not really. I know why it is often loaded with bugs. It often has to do with the price tag associated with quality and the time it takes to achieve it. So instead of going for quality software, the customers will take cheap and early delivery.
Btw, there is nothing wrong with reinventing the wheel. Man has been doing that since they invented the wheel, otherwise we would still have stone wheels.
It is now 1984. It appears IBM wants it all. Apple is perceived to be the only hope to offer IBM a run for its money. Dealers initially welcoming IBM with open arms now fear an IBM dominated and controlled future. They are increasingly turning back to Apple as the only force that can ensure their future freedom. IBM wants it all and is aiming its guns on its last obstacle to industry control: Apple. Will Big Blue dominate the entire computer industry? The entire information age? Was George Orwell right?

HADOPI targets "internet subscribers", i.e. the people at home and not websites. So Gandi, and it's clients are not affected by HADOPI.

Bears have paws, not arms.
The previous GoDaddy news item on /. was the straw for me. The SOPA support was just a motivator to put some more effort in moving all my domains.

No matter how hard I pound on the two drives, they still don't fit in my laptop.

If it's mandated, it's a tax. It a lot of countries you don't have an option not to pay.
Besides that. "Ethics"? what a crock. That's something for Disney movies.

PS, http://usmarriagelaws.com/search/united_states/index.shtml doesn't agree with your statement that 16 years old can marry 30 year olds; at least, not without consent of their parents/guardian. That spells "child" to me.
And my question was
And even besides that. I also mentioned Groovy and Scala, both target JVM had contain closures.
16 years is a child. If you don't believe it, then upload a naked picture of a 16 year old. I'm sure they'll charge you for distributing child pornography.
I'm pretty sure JavaScript has closures.
Ok, then it's not a JVM language considering the JVM can't execute Java source code.
Dark times for single player? I think there are plenty of (indie) game developers happy to fill the void.
Since when did that language become significant?
Also, bad analogy. CaffeeScript compiles to JavaScript source code. This new language from Eclipse compiles to Java bytecode (just like Groovy, Scala, +various other languages).
They already cover this case:

So, this is about the rounded rectangle that Apple patented?
The lawyer should have challenged Judge Lucy Koh to use either of the tables from a distance of 10ft.
I ran those numbers by my Hollywood based accountant, and his calculations resulted in a net loss of about $3000 a day.
