While reading their FAQ explaining how and why they run their business, I was very quickly convinced that this was who I wanted to host my domain(s). I've never regretted that decision.
I guess a thank you is in order to the "slashdot collective". I never would have found their site without a suggestion from here.

I (attempt) to keep my websites standards compliant. If it works in your browser, great. If not, not my problem. I'm not jumping through hoops to help support companies actively ignoring agreed upon standards.
However, I'm also not financially dependent on my websites...
I agree. But you missed the entire point of my post.
What they did sort of like saying "the truck was caught driving at 70 mph on I10, even though the speed limit on West Esplanade is only 30 mph." True, but not strictly relevant.
"the truck was caught driving at 369600 fph on I10, even though the speed limit on West Esplanade is only 30 mph." See my point yet?
The safety limit is listed in picocuries, so keeping the current level in picocuries is logical. Call me lazy, but I don't want to do even simple math to figure out that yes, the current level is much higher than the safety limit.
Therein lies a bit of irony. Washington often claims that the USA is a freer free market than the European Union. Yet, the Union is the political body which hit -- hard -- Microsoft's anticompetitive behavior.
You just disproved your own statement. A free market would allow a monopoly to continue it's anti-competitve behavior even to the detriment of the market. You're arguing for better regulation not a freer market.
[note: unless my definition of free market is off, which is quite possible]

What you see on Law & Order with the same cops doing the kiddie-smut patrol year in and year out may work for Munch and Stabler but it doesn't work in the real world.
I'm up to season 3 of SVU, and one thing they've made very clear is the stress and how quickly they get rotated out. So far they are keeping that pretty realistic. The main characters on the show are exceptions presumably because they are popular with viewers, not because they are so great at keeping their sanity.
Given the security issues with plugins in general and Google Chrome in particular, Google Chrome Frame running as a plugin has doubled the attack area for malware and malicious scripts.
"Doubled the attack area"? I think Microsoft just admitted there's no known security risk they can find with the Chrome Frame, just that it's... "A browser in a browser" and "browsers are insecure" therefore "Chrome as an addon _HAS_ to be unsafe" logically.
I hate bad logic. The irony of course would be if it made IE more secure than it is by default.
George Lucas has been credited with some fine films (Star Wars and Indiana Jones come to mind.
Completely pointless nitpick.. George Lucas didn't direct Indiana Jones, Spielberg did. Hell, even half the star wars movies were directed by others. You might already know this, but thought I'd clarify since your post seems to be talking exclusively about directing.
Japan has a history of treating people in 'dirty' jobs as contaminated people. So if you're a garbage collector, fisher-person etc and it's known, it significantly lowers your chances of getting into a college or a better job simply due to this discrimination. The people with 'dirty' jobs generally live in the same area (forced?). Therefore some of these people try to hide the fact that they live in the slums if you will. Google street view somehow was outing people who wanted to keep their residence a secret, and are now getting discriminated because of it.
I'm not Japanese but it must really suck to be subject to that kind of discrimination for such minor things that really should not matter. (from my high horse 1,000 miles away in a different culture)
Nicely done demonstrating how a neurotypical argues.
From your link:
Once a person with NT has made up his or her mind, a process typically involving very little ratiocination, cogitation, or deliberation, he or she likely refuses to acknowledge even the slightest possibility of being mistaken, no matter how much solid, logical evidence is presented. In contrast, they are for some reason quickly and easily convinced when exposed to emotional manipulation, the standard method of argumentation between NTs.
Absolutely. But not in the general intelligence type that everyone is assuming.
We aren't getting stupid, but we are absolutely dumbing down our language. And it is (in theory) easily provable.
I'm making numbers up to prove my point, but bear with me, the concept should still hold up with researched numbers... In the 1700s people used 30,000 words of the english language in their daily speech. In the 1800s people used 20,000 words of the english language in their daily speech. In the 1900s people used 10,000 words of the english language in their daily speech. In the present people use 3,000 words of the english language in their daily speech. [notice]I repeat all numbers are made up, but I know I've read about this decline in the past.
The written word has also changed significantly over time. From Shakespeare's Olde English "flowery" language. To today's text messaging of "R U buzy? C U 2nite" (/puke)
Yet another example is even in the last 50 years. I recently watched Good Night and Good Luck and had to really pay attention to understand some of Edward R Murrow's news reports. Yet have no difficulty listening to Brian Williams, for example, deliver a news report today.
My guess as to the only difference? The number of words we use on a regular basis. [go easy on me on grammatical or spelling errors - that's not the point of this];)
The average human response time for auditory or visual input is 160--220ms.
So what you're saying is from the initial stimuli to seeing my response happen is 293ms - 353ms? Compared to if our technology was 'perfect' it would be 160 - 220ms?
Seems pretty obvious why people want faster response technology..
Why does every expansion make previous content so worthless? Do you honestly think that people won't buy expansions if the current content is still fun? In my opinion your expansions add enough to justify the purchases, there is no reason to force them down our throats.
For example with wrath of the lich king there was plenty of new content added to justify purchasing it, without making the entire area of burning crusade worthless except for grinding from levels 58 to 68. There was a ton of great raids and dungeons that are now obsolete that could easily be updated to have a level 80 heroic mode. I realize that most players were probably bored with all of BC content by the time that wrath came out, but give us the option of skipping them, rather than deciding for everyone.
WoW would easily have one of the largest content available for an MMO, except a good 75% of it has out lived it's usefulness. For example wrath added 13 dungeons. So now a level 80 char has 13 dungeons to run. However, if all dungeons were available with a level 80 heroic mode, there would be 48 to choose from!

And was there really any soul behind the great works, or were Beethoven and his ilk just clever mathematical manipulators of notes?
Can't it be both?
No arguments from me. I meant trouble as in face punishments, I never specified what they might be or the severity.
I also never said "major trouble". But thanks for the reply regardless.

when the players really would be happy with just more story, more levels, more characters
As long as the price is scaled accordingly. I doubt anyone wants to pay full game price when it should be in the expansion section.
Why did I enjoy UO in its late-beta early-release stage, then, as a complete non-griefer?
Interesting post. It seems to me that you enjoyed UO in spite of the griever's though, not because of them.
I third this.

Preemptive strike: don't want to do even a simple conversion*
Since comparing two numbers probably qualifies as "simple math".
The safety limit is listed in picocuries, so keeping the current level in picocuries is logical. Call me lazy, but I don't want to do even simple math to figure out that yes, the current level is much higher than the safety limit.
