Well I just called in about the 1 domain I have there, and they flat out told me that none of their domain servers and/or name servers are IIS or will be moving to IIS. A closer look at the article reveals the openning statement:
Microsoft Corp. today announced that GoDaddy.com®
Perhaps MS misunderstood what their product was being purchased for? Or maybe I was being lied to...
but honest individuals will also give this report due consideration because they give EVERYTHING due consideration no matter how meritless (or merited).
I really get a kick out of how the slashdot community seems to have this delusion that Sony is any worse than other content distribution companies... or that they can't seem to make any distinction between the different branches Sony has.
I'll remind you that Sony did in fact file a brief in favor of Grokster in MGM v. Grokster.
No, he's talking about GoDaddy's parking of domains for themselves not other. Usually this occurs on domains that its customers let expire. Then, if they ever want to reregister the domain again, they have a much bigger fee.
I realize that MySQL can't do everything. I don't know enough about databases to talk about what its best at or what its worst at, what its faster at, etc.
I do know this: LAMP development is messy, and careless compared to languages like Java or PERL. But the integration is so seamless, and the applications broad enough that the end users just plain don't care.
What's so special about Postgre? Why switch at all?
Exactly what I was thinking. I know mysql, mysql is already available on my host, mysql is fast and easy, and mysql does all the things that I need a database to do...
You mean to tell me that they haven't seen incredible growth in their economy since 1989? I agree that the government is authortarian... I just about said as much, except this time it isn't under the guise of communism.
No, this does not make it okay for western media (or any other media) to make baseless accusations based on their pre-conceived notions - their self-defined job is to report the facts, not to make up stories based on zero information (that's what the op-ed section is for:).
Well yes, but that's what most everyone was whining about last election cycle. Conservatives were on about things like Memogate at CBS, lots of other, little, unsubstantiated things too, (square object under Bush's coat? c'mon), and the liberals were going on and on about how the Swiftboat vets were getting tons of press, even though both sides were presenting opposing "facts".
The reality is that reporting "the truth" and "the facts" is hard enough without people purposely trying to fuck it up.
If we learned ANYTHING from the last election cycle, its that the self-stated purpose of media is unachievable as long as humans are doing the reporting.
First, its very shortsighted to assume that those are the things that all Americans think when they think of those places. When I think Africa, I think dozens of armed conflicts, infighting, civil wars, turmoil, and disaster caused because the Europeon powers still haven't let go of their grip on the governments down there, and frankly, don't care about the people of Africa.
When I think Russia, I think a country which has done a phenominal job dealing with a bad economy and working with the rest of the world to mend ties while it has in the meantime built up much of its old government control without of socio-fascist front.
When I think China, I think a country that is aiming to directly take on the US economy and dollar, and allows most activities within the country as long as it isn't disruptive to the function of their government.
And even if your heavy handed characterizations were correct, how is that any different than the view that all americans are cowboy, gun-slingin' tourists who are convinced of their own superiority of "culture", not withstanding the fact that American culture IS other cultures.
I'm tired of this Anglo-American, spoiled media views are wrong bullshit. As soon as you realize that the American media doesn't represent the American public, then you can chastize me for "generalizing".
Socialism is in fact designed to be freedom, freedom from poverty and medical expenses as well as personal freedom.
The current capitalist system in the US favors freedom of the corporation over freedom of the individual. The problem with socialism is the exact opposite. It provides almost no freedom of the corporation, and in turn, almost demands a state-controlled economy, which what the USSR really was: socialism mandated through fascism.
Most US citizens don't like the concept of socialism, because they socialism as one Congressional session away from the USSR, (and in case you didn't know, living in the USSR wasn't exactly paradise).
Socialism, in its europeon and canadian forms, is kept in check, mostly, by market forces, which are strong enough to keep them in check only because of more open markets such as the US. Ironically, many of the "freedom's" socialism enjoys, such as health care, are subsidized by free markets, such as the US, which recoups the losses of R&D for instance. Without markets like the US, markets like Canada would not exist.
If the US were little more socialist, everyone else would ahve to be a little more capitalist.
Incidentally, I've never understood how something that is only achievable through advancements in science and technology, and not through the inherent properties of being human, like health care, can ever be described as a right or freedom. It is a privilege. A privilege which incidentally helps support things that are rights, (you can't protest if you're not healthy), but protecting and proclaiming something a right, when it is in fact a corrollarry to rights is a slipperly slope... one I do not wish to tred, and one which would be very, very expensive.
I don't understand why he's been modded down for this post. The website it came from is (at least partially) inaccessable, and it saved me a trip to google's cache, for which I am very thankful.
Sometimes I wonder if slashdot moderators don't go around and look at posts saying, "yeah... yeah, that one's a post other's would like to read... -1 Offtopic... heh heh... I just modded a good post bad... heh heh... I feel better about myself now..." *rolls eyes*
Mod this post all the way down to hell if you want. I got karma to burn.
OSS is hard to make successes with because, most often, the market is flooded with options, (lots of products), and most applications have, well, very specific applications.
I very often use the technique of making things "light up" in my head depending on whether or not I have counter them yet, which allows me to do things like flawlessly deal cards out of order.
I have a near photographic memory for certain types of things... for instance, when I was in high school, in my US history class, I read the entire history book the day before school started, and for the entire rest of the year, when I wanted to recall something, I recalled the page it was on, then reread it off th epage in my mind. I had somewhere around an 85% accuracy rate with no studying for about the first six months, and about 70% the rest of the year. The teachers lectures were enough to fill in the holes the entire rest of the year.

C'mon, that's how Microsoft has maintained such quality in Windows!
Except for the 360 exports in 1080i as its highest resolution. ;-)
No, it isn't just you... the guy sounded like he was the Dukakis campaign manager.

Fixed.
the republicans who control all branches of the govt and the supreme court.
;-)
Psst... the Supreme Court isn't a party differentiated collection of power.
You could have said, "The Supreme Court is becoming more conservative than it was."

Perhaps the price increases are so that VeriSign can hire a competent company to do it for them?

Why would I ever use Postgre?

No Kidding. What was the point of this? To further decrease the trust in western media of ANY news that comes out of China?
Who exactly did this heart/teach anything to?
You certainly have a winning interface.

I agree, on surface these games don't seem to have any major stories other than go there kill that and come back with his head and you get phat lootz.
But there are great stories in these games and most of them have a very rich backstory.
I was actually more making a joke about how no one in the game cares about the story line... only if they can get their Arc Trans for less than 5g...
...I play WoW for the incredible story li--wait a minute...

Well, when you make one page which test almost every single standard, I'd say that making that page work does improve CSS in general.
Unless you meant IE improvements: "Yeah, we've changed some way certain things use CSS. Go figure it out for yourself, we're not going to tell you!"
....
Thats kinda the point...
Now someone needs to get a picture of the 7th circuit and make one of those talk bubbles: "All your base are belong to us."
