They also offer VPS services with monthly fees. There may not be as many VPS subscribers moving to a new provider due to the pain and time required move to a new service, however I hope there are enough of us moving to new VPS providers so that they do feel the loss in recurring monthly revenue.
I need to make a living and am currently doing that by writing iPhone apps. GPL is fine in an idealistic world, however people are not idealistic and do not give you money for being a nice guy. When I release software as open source (https://github.com/bindle/BindleKit), I do it to be helpful to others. The GPL greatly restricts the ability of some one to use my software. Just because one developer uses my library in a proprietary application does not exclude another developer for using my library as well. What is the point of software being called open source when it is not usable by developers?
To expand upon mrxak, the Catechism of the Catholic Church did not exist until 1992. As for not reading the Bible, if a practicing Catholic who attends daily Mass and Sunday Mass without fail will have heard most of Bible through the Liturgy of the Word (Bible readings during Mass) once every three years. So an adult should have heard most of the Bible 10 times since he was 18.
Is our culture still pushing pre-marital/extra-marital sex and obfuscating the benefits of one spouse for life? Yes? Then I'd say our culture is having a greater influence than the Catholic Church.
If condoms are the solution, why is it that venereal deseases increase with the introduction/social acceptance of contraceptives like condoms?
It's been 15 years, and still most people (including most Christians) have not picked up on the fact that the Catholic church concluded this long ago.
In a papal statement on the subject of evolution, dated Oct. 22nd 1996, pope John Paul II stated that "truth cannot contradict truth", and therefore the Genesis story of the Bible needed to be interpreted metaphorically, not literally.
How is it that Christian people (Catholics in particular; the pope is supposed to be your earthly representative for God) just seem to "forget" this ever happened?
Why do you say Catholics in particular? When was the last time you heard of a Catholic group/organization pushing the creation story as science? Most of the "Catholics" I hear about in the news, push moral agendas contrary to Church teachings (i.e. trying to change or ignore moral teachings on contraception, abortion, homosexuality, and marriage) or push for women's ordination.
The few times I hear a Catholic group or organization speak about science is when they are discussing the merits of NFP, the arguments against embryonic stem cell research, or the medical affects of contraception. Usually they are defending the Church's teachings on these matters which is absolutely in line with statements made by the Pope who Catholics consider to be the Vicar of Christ (not representative for God).

Let's not forget that Xcode 4 uses Git by default and is tightly integrated into the interface. Examples being
* Xcode creates a git repository by default when creating a new project
* When saving a file, Xcode will place a "M" marker next to a file to indicate it needs to be committed
* Re-naming a file in Xcode will perform the rm and add operations automatically in Git
* Xcode allows you to view the current version and past versions side by side in the editor
2. SSL for virtual hosts is not supported by Internet Explorer (yet another problem with IE)
I am not sure why it is not working for you, however it works for me. I tested my copy of Windows XP with IE 8 with my instance of Lighttpd which has four domains with a UCC/SAN cert for the four domains from StartSSL all hosted on a single IP address.
4) Hosting https sites still require a unique IP for each site. If I, a a hosting provider, have 1000 sites on a server, I'd rather use one IP, than 1000 IPs.
I am currently hosting 4 different domains on the same IP address using UCC / SAN Certificates. From providers such as GoDaddy, they tend to be pricey, however StartSSL provides unlimited certs for the cost of identity and organization validation ($50/year). It is now more of a hassle to add a domain to the server since now I have to revoke and re-issue the existing cert, but it does allow me to use SSL on one IP address for multiple second level domains.
I am confused. Your point seems to be that variable length addresses do not incur a performance hit. You say that Tony provided pseudo-code which demonstrated "variable length" was not a problem. However you ask us to look it up ourselves while linking to an article which describes Tony's work history (which does not reference variable length addresses).
The grandparent was commenting on address length and the last lines of your comment purportedly to support your view provides an example based on frame size. Do you realize that address length and frame size are not the same and they really cannot be compared when talking about routing performance? Maybe if you said the size of the address parameter in the header and the size of the frame_size parameter in the header it would be more comparable, but then it would be obvious that it does not provide a meaningful example since both the address parameter and frame_size parameter are fixed length variables.
So are you talking about variable length addresses or variable frame sizes?
If the first, can you provide an example? If the second, how is it related to the GP's post?
If you can think of a way to assert correlation such that causation is not a natural inference for most people, and without sounding awkward or explicitly denying the causation you expect people to infer, I would sincerely love to hear it.
Researchers have found a correlation between levels of depression and amount of time surfing the Internet. Their studies show that both depression and Internet usage increase and decrease proportionate to each other.

In IT we seem to have this sort of myopic view that if it isn't an IT company of some kind, it doesn't exist.
I understand that not all companies that maintain large data sets are technology companies. My only point was that when a group of companies known to manage large sets of data say that SQL does not always fit the bill, then I am inclined to listen rather than calling them nuts.
I've seen strong reactions from various camps with regard to concern over saying no to SQL.. Third, there are groups that get together to dispute that the earth is round; insisting that it is flat.
Corporations represented in this group included the likes of Google, Last.fm, Amazon, and Facebook. Hardly the same caliber of people who claim the earth is still flat. I'm inclined to listen to engineers from these companies if they say that an SQL database does not scale well for vast amounts of data.
I for full heartily support this idea. I've started by registering freespeechday.com.

There's also an ad-hoc distribution method where you can share 5 copies of your app with others, but they too have to be registered and there's a key exchange process. so you can't just hand out the app or install just any app.
Actually you can share up to 100 ad-hoc copies of the app with others. They do not have to be registered as iPhone developers. There is not a key exchange between the developer and the end user. The end user, however, does have to provide the unique device ID of their Apple device. The App developer then adds the device as an allowed device in the developer's provisioning profile.
To install the app, the end user installs the developer's provisioning profile on the device as well as the application.
There is an exchange, but it is not as complicated as the end user having to generate a key and submit it to the end-user
With that being said, I really wish I could just distribute compiled versions of my apps to friends without having to maintain a list of their current device IDs.
That's like saying "Washington, USA", what's the OP thinking? It's a bit easier with the UK in that people were a bit more imaginative with place names, so there aren't so many duplicates. It is rather presumptuous of Americans to assume we all know what their fifty odd state abbreviations are (suprisingly, people outside the US don't have it drummed in to them at school), although I'm sure many people around the world might think that both Toronto, KS and Toronto, ON are in the same country if they saw it written down.
Although I would question whether most Americans know the abbreviations of all 50 of our states states (as an example I've found most Americans think AK is Arkansas, AR is Arizona, and AL is Alaska), it does not seem too presumptuous if you consider the average size of a state in the US is roughly 80% the size of the UK and the average size of a Provence/territory in Canada is 300% the size of the UK.
So using your scale of the geographic importance of areas, it is rather presumptuous of the English to assume we all know what their forty-eight odd county names names are. After all, I seriously doubt you know the names of all of our counties/boroughs/parishes within the states of the US and provinces of Canada.
So, to use your argument, if I wanted to argue that I should have the RIGHT to use the Linux kernel however I see fit (including, potentially, in a closed-source application), you'd be in favor of that. Because that should be my right as a consumer of the code, to determine how I want to use it... right.... right?
That is correct. You are able to personally use GPL software in a closed-source application. You are, however, unable to distribute said close source software with the GPL software.
Sorry, but that's not how it works. If the GPL rights-holder gets to use copyright law to dictates "terms of use" for GPL'ed content, then the DRM'ed rights-holder gets to use copyright law to dictate THEIR terms of use as well. If you don't like those terms, feel free to use something else, just as lots of people who don't like GPL license terms use BSD or even (gasp!) closed-source code.
Actually, I am pretty sure that is exactly how it works. Under the fair use doctrine I am allowed to personally use a valid copy of a copyrighted work as I see fit, but I am unable to (in most cases) to distribute the work.
BTW, I am a rights-holder and I have used both open and closed source licensing. As a rights-holder, why would I care if they choose to use my applications in a manner other than prescribed so long as they do not distribute the software without my permission?
Theoretically in some states both the girl and her boyfriend could be charged as adults since they are 17. and since they are 17 they could both be charged with statutory rape since neither is 18. and thus could both have to register as sex offenders for consensually having sex...
And don't feel bad... it's not any better for Canadians, or at least, not for me.
Or for Americans. I am an American and travel with an American passport. Upon the return of my last trip, amoung other questions I was asked "Why are you returning to the United States? What do you do for a living? Where are you going to sleep tonight?"
Hmmm, Why would an American who lives in American and travels with an American passport be returning to America? I'll give you a few moments to ponder that one sparky. The really odd part was that my answer of "I live here" was not satisfactory to him.
So you want people who know nothing about the internal workings of the Internet to decide whether or not to regulate parts of the internet? How exactly does this help the US people? My experience from working at an ISP/Telecommunications company is that the actual engineer types usually are against regulations, filtering, DRM, etc; and it is the bean MBA types that push this type of thing down our throats. By forbidding the engineering types from working for the FCC until their knowledge is horribly out of date, you would be effectively making the FCC rely on outside "expert" witnesses put forth by the MBA types of the companies with agendas.
How about changing the DMCA so that any copyright holder who uses DRM agrees to only a 17 year copyright term on the DRM encumbered work. If they want the longer (I.E. unreasonable) length term then they have to forego DRM.
