If you own the trademark on the name used in the domain name, you might be able to get it back by going directly to ICANN with a trademark complaint.
However, if you can't access your hosting company's files and your contract doesn't describe how they guarantee access to your data then (for static sites, i.e. no dynamic content or web applications) you can use the `wget` command available on GNU/Linux to crawl and download the entire site as it exists currently.
This would not help you in recovering files that aren't linked directly from the public website nor recover defaced files.
Never let your hosting company be the point of contact/owner for your domain registration.
My experience, exactly. I can't tell you how many times I've been asked to look into a problem with a web server only to find that their logs are packed with failed login attempts pointed at/phpmyadmin. It's bad enough that it blindly installs itself as a subdirectory in every Apache vhost you run; but their lack of default password attempt limits and bans (especially given its popularity and the level of access it provides) is downright irresponsible. There are literally botnets that do nothing more than cruise around the internet looking for phpmyadmin installations.
The difference is that the Samsung products all competed directly with the product that Apple created. With these watches/clocks, the Clock.app isn't competing with their market for expensive wristwatches and industrial clocks. While they may be able to reach some agreement to license the design itself, it won't result in the same sort of trade-dress/injunction legal issues.
The rationale is that the bar being at the top of the screen provides an infinite targeting area. You just have to push your mouse up until the pointer will no longer move then go left or right until you've gotten to the right menu. I find myself spending a lot of time and concentration trying to target menus in Windows because they're so slight compared to the rest of the interface. I imagine that's one of the things the ribbon is trying to solve in light of high-resolution displays, a rather garish way to increase the targeting area.
At least someone is going to have to start taking responsibility for what's going on over there. QNX is going to be interesting to see on their devices next year. I think the big thing driving smartphone sales right now is price, and RIM hasn't been able to release an appealing device with a price point low enough to drive people away from the alternatives.
You fail to recognize that there's nothing stopping Joe Developer from putting a web view inside some other application and doing the exact same thing. Trying to attribute this potential attack vector exclusively to PhoneGap or cross platform mobile apps using HTML is intellectually dishonest. It's a non-starter for anyone familiar with the product.
Android: This is a potential problem with pretty much any Android application, regardless of how it's built. iOS: Any app caught trying to update itself without going through the approval process will be pulled, again regardless of how it's built.
There is nothing substantially different about the security model of a PhoneGap application than that which can be imposed upon a traditional app. I say this as a developer who has spent some time with PhoneGap producing applications for both platforms.
HTML5 supports offline caching of files as well as the SQLlite datastore, so you can provide a fully offline experience for users and even sync back with the server when a connection is available.
PhoneGap still imposes the security model that other applications support. For instance, you can inform users that it collects GPS data and Address book or forgo support for that plug-in entirely. They support this both with manually building it via the Android tool chain as well as through PhoneGap Build service. Reason being is that the API for PhoneGap is just communicating with native code underneath to access things like GPS and address book, requiring the permissions model all other Android apps use.
It's a good thing Google doesn't have any entangling business relations with media companies, like they did with carriers.
Oh wait.
Go ahead, sign the petition on the Google homepage. Just remember: It will be used to show populist support of the more "Google-friendly" verbiage of the exact same legislation.
In the wake of SOPA et al, I recommend Sweden Dedicated http://swedendedicated.com/ . It's great because you can brag about the servers being in a Bond Villain style HQ. I've had great uptime and their administrators are competent enough to be helpful when necessary, but don't expect them to do a lot of hand-holding or CPANEL type nonsense.

It is now official - Netcraft has confirmed: "*BSD is dying" trolls are dying.
Yet another crippling bombshell hit the beleaguered Slashdot community when recently IDC confirmed that "*BSD is dying" trolls account for less than a fraction of 1 percent of all posters. Coming on the heels of the latest Netcraft survey which plainly states that "*BSD is dying" trolls have lost more market share, this news serves to reinforce what we've known all along.
You don't need to be a Kreskin to predict their future. The hand writing is on the wall: "*BSD is dying" trolls face a bleak future. In fact there won't be any future at all for them because "*BSD is dying" trolls are dying. Things are looking very bad.
All major surveys show that "*BSD is dying" trolls have steadily declined in market share. They are very sick and their long term survival prospects are very dim. If they are to survive at all it will be among the "hot grits" dabblers. "*BSD is dying" trolling continues to decay. Nothing short of a miracle could save it at this point in time. For all practical purposes, it is dead.
Pre-paid gift Visas are really poorly done in Canada. There are a bunch of fees and many merchants won't accept them. For some, you even have to go through a normal credit approval process to even have them give you a pre-paid credit card.

Presumably any site that receives enough traffic to necessitate a CDN is going to be able to afford to do just that, or even as-is-needed.
In fact, I do use a CDN (albeit a paid 3rd party in this case) to run a social networking site: http://rok.yt/
And I run another myself where I have servers in Europe connected via a VPN to the application servers, whose resources they cache.
In either case, it's trivial and low-cost.
Also, it's not like you can't host your own CDN. I do.
I guess it's too bad no one has invented a way to encrypt HTTP connections.
Yeah, CDNs are a Facebook-proprietary-technology that no other website in the world could possibly ever hope to use.
It's the Equalization of Opportunity Act!!!

I doubt you'll be able to properly merge the spreadsheet via git.
Google and Microsoft both already operate out of Waterloo and Facebook is heading there from Toronto.

Yes. It worked out so well for net neutrality when Google got involved.

CMDA coverage in Canada isn't that great. I'd recommend doing it with a GSM phone, which Verizon will allow you to borrow for international trips.
