If you colo a server with an actual data center, you don't get a free pass to run a compromised system. Home ISPs should be no different. Abuse department alerts you to an issue, you have 24 hours to correct the problem and respond, or your service is suspended. Simple.

It's not often that I like people talking about whites being discriminated against, but in this case I do feel especially bad for Asian's and Whites given the higher requirement for them. As a student who went through school doing the least amount I could while still being able to graduate, I would have been very upset needing higher/lower test scores just because I had the (mis)fortune of being born into a certain family/race.

I don't see why I need a kinect plugged in to watch TV... unplug the thing and problem solved. Any service that requires the use of kinect to watch their service? Don't sign up and they will find their own way out of existence.
The other side of the coin... why non marketing guys shouldn't write marketing materials:
function MarketingFunction(originalText) { var revisedText = new String(originalText + ", which will help build synergy and increase marketshare."); return revisedText; }
Most of the sites I know of that index links to sites such as Rapidshare, use HTML magic to forward you to the link without a referrer anyway
I am relatively proficient when it comes to many things web/html related, yet I have never heard of being able to create a link that doesn't pass referrer information. After googling this topic for a little bit, all I see is that most modern browsers now pass the referrer info, even with target="_blank" or when the link is handled via javascript.
That said, I am well aware that "The more I learn, the less I know."... So... Can you enlighten us on this HTML magic to which you refer?
I'm not sure if I should say that Santorum is anti-truth, or go with the less harsh, anti-reality.
Maybe next he can explain to us about how all of the studies regarding contraception are clearly wrong. Or was contraception an "Obama conspiracy?" I forget...
Last I looked (a few months back), it was my understanding that chrome didn't offer the hooks needed to implement anything like noscript. But the site for NotScripts seem to show that this has changed, so I will definitely take a look. Thanks for sharing.
It was the supreme court of the state of CA, not SCOTUS, and since they didn't rule that a specific law was unconstitutional, I believe a new law would supersede their decision... unless of course they ruled that the new law violated the state constitution.
Remember, the court makes decisions within the bounds of current law. Unless a law violates the constitution, the courts are overridden by the law. Not the other way around.
Wow. It was my impression that the supreme court judged cases based on existing law, and the legislature wrote new law. Perhaps the legislature wrote this law because it disagreed with the recent court decision. Part of why the legislature exists is to create and/or update laws in response to changing times and public opinion.
To Governor Brown: If the supreme court believes this law is unconstitutional, they can strike it down. Don't overstep your powers and do this for them. Unless *YOU,* on behalf of your constituents, have a specific objection: let the law pass.

I actually remember seeing that back when I was in high school. It was actually the inspiration for my comment, but I couldn't think of who made the video to post a link to them. Good find.
I usually check out webhostingtalk.com to find reviews of web hosts, offers, and more. I would definitely suggest you check them out. I personally chose mddhosting.com for my website.
Some other things to keep in mind: you get what you pay for... So unlimited of something means they are skimping elseware. Also remember to always keep your own backups. Even if your host does keep them, which they probably don't, it is a pain to get files restored for you. It also is nice to be able to leave without begging for your files.
As for custom infrastructure and scaling... Chances are that most hosts put you on a typical shared cpanel box and anything special is going to require you to get a VPS or dedi server and set it up and manage everything yourself. It just isn't realistic to add features or special software for a single user. And that doesn't even get into having to support this new stuff, or deal with the security implications.
Just had a thought for something I haven't tried yet. But what if your websites contact form asks the user for their email address. They enter it and press send, then your site sends them an email to which they can reply. I'm sure making a bot to harvest emails from this kind of system, but if not everyone is using it, then maybe they wont bother...
Regarding Dreamhost, I have never used them, but I know a LOT of people have had problems... Either do a search on WHT (webhostingtalk.com), check out http://www.dreamhost-sucks.com/ or simply google "Dream Host" and see what comes back... I'll let you draw your own conclusions.

I did address this at the end of my comment.

What if they start building the Kinect technology directly into cable boxes, or televisions?
Don't buy it. There is plenty of competition on the market.

@AC, if you are out there and still reading this.

I'm sad to see they didn't go with the PS Vita Mix model. A game machine that could also make me a smoothie would be a big hit.

NoScript is about all that is holding me to FireFox. I would much prefer to use Chrome or Safari, but neither support NoScript.
Alright, that's definitely a good point but regardless of that, I would hope he would consider it to be redundant and let the court(s) handle it.

Screw that! Let's hook them up with sonar and lasers.
