Furthermore, they accuse Namecheap of playing foul because they released a statement before ever contacting godaddy directly to resolve these issues.
Funny, when I put up my anti-GoDaddy site, they tried to have my server shut down (along with all my other sites) and, when that failed (my provider told them to pound sand), tried to have my domain pulled due to incomplete or incorrect contact information. When my registrar notified me (via the admin email on that domain) I informed them that they are more than welcome to write me at the address on file and/or call me at the number on file.
Namecheap is using GoDaddy's tactics, here, and GoDaddy can't take what they dish out. Ha.
Further, yes, it is common practice to rate limit public WHOIS queries. However, a WHOIS query done as part of a domain transfer is not your typical public query and there should be a separate channel through which those queries are done, which should not be rate limited. I'm not 100% on this but I believe ICANN has ruled on this, as well.
I'm assuming, since you're asking me, you don't know what Google is, either? Bro, if you're gonna buy a UID, limit your selection to 4 digits. Yes, you've been here longer than me; but, and I have to ask because I'm truly not sure, are you going for Flamebait, Troll, or Funny?
Amazon *has*, however, deleted books from peoples' Kindles (yes, I know they credited everyone for the deleted book, that's not the point). Meanwhile, Barnes & Noble has never done this *and* is standing up to MS regarding their Android patent trolling.
That, and Amazon stiffed me on some commission I earned a few months back. I'm still a bit butt-hurt about that.
Uhmm... Maybe I just know the right people, but most of the people I know have a Google Voice account. All of my coworkers, most of my friends, a fair number of my acquaintances, most of my family, my wife, and myself. That's a lot of people and only about a third of them are technically-inclined so it's not a tech-head thing.
Yes, I'm very self-entitled(fixed that for you). I'm entitled to know EXACTLY what I'm buying, through trying it out to the fullest extent possible, before I buy it. Moreso since I can't return it if I don't like it or, for some reason, can't use it.
If piracy is my only means for doing so, so be it, that is a choice made by the company whose media I'm pirating. Were they to allow returns on opened media, I'd be willing to buy it and, if I don't like it, return it; since I can not do this, I pirate it and, if I do like it, I buy it.
Right. Because the spotter can see what's going on. That was my whole point, thank you for making it.
When you're on a cell phone with someone who can't see the conditions you're driving in, they have no clue when to STFU and they certainly can't advise you of the road ahead.
Cellphones are a lot different than that. Cellphones are in use on open roads, not closed tracks.
On a closed course, the traffic is known, not variable; excepting Rally races, the crew communicating with the driver can also see exactly what's going on around the driver.
The chance of a sudden, unexpected and unknown to the communicating party, change in conditions, which may require them to shut the fuck up so the driver can concentrate on the road, is extremely slim on a closed course. On the open road, conditions change constantly and the person on the other end of that phone has no fucking clue when they should shut up.
Add to that, communication during a race is kept to a minimum, the bare essentials. Communication by your average cell user blabs incessantly about random useless shit. A few seconds during a race, versus an involved conversation lasting the duration of the commute, hmm, which is more dangerous?
Then, add in dialing or reaching to answer the phone. Racers use radios with either wheel-mounted PTT buttons or a decent VOX system, so they never take their hands off the wheel except to shift.
And if someone pulled over in a space in a parking lot 20ft from the road you're driving down with your 1000ft cell jammer has a legitimate need to be on the phone?
If someone's in your front seat, they can see that traffic conditions have changed and know to STFU for a moment, without you having to tell them. Unless they're my ex, then they don't know what STFU means, nor how or when to do so.
If crack was legal and crackheads could buy the stuff for a dollat an ounce they wouldn't have to break into my house to support their habits.
Hang on, how is a crack-head's addiction a consequence of the war on drugs?
I don't think that's what mcgrew was saying. I read that as "if it was legal, it would be cheaper. If it was cheaper, crackheads could beg just like the alcoholics do to support their habit, rather than breaking into my house to pay for the shit.".
Apparently, the audible ping wasn't so helpful, either. LED's are cheap, bright, and probably use a lot less power than the buzzer element that makes the ping, I'm left wondering why the damn thing doesn't just flash.
Where are you? What? No GPS lock? Oh, that's ok, it still transmits its last known coordinates and you shouldn't be too far from there; I'll just use that signal. Oh... wait, there's no signal. Hmm, that LARGE BODY OF WATER must be blocking it.
No bother, anyway, those coordinates would only be accurate enough to tell me you're at the crash site; something I already know.

Intentional, international, or both?
I was going for funny, but redundant works, I guess.
No shit?

No, you are correct. Think voicemail transcription.

Self-entitled, indeed. Go eat a dick, fuckwad.

I didn't say its the same
Cell phones are no different than that.
I've spent more than a few minutes on the track, myself. You've ridden with them, I am them.
Cellphones are a lot different than that. Cellphones are in use on open roads, not closed tracks.

No, you're right, absolutely the same.
Because, then, rather than holding the phone visibly and talking, assholes will set the phone on their lap and take their eyes off the road to text.
And if someone pulled over in a space in a parking lot 20ft from the road you're driving down with your 1000ft cell jammer has a legitimate need to be on the phone?
Talking on a cell phone (hands free, naturally) is no different than speaking to (but not looking at) the passenger next to you.
Except that the passenger next to you can see changes in traffic and know when to shut up so you can concentrate.
Well? In their defense, they were using their hands to hold their phone and coffee, thus allowing them to drive hands-free.
If someone's in your front seat, they can see that traffic conditions have changed and know to STFU for a moment, without you having to tell them. Unless they're my ex, then they don't know what STFU means, nor how or when to do so.
I wouldn't be surprised, though I'm sure many others here would.
It is responsible for all the related problems.

Show belly button and go to bed.
WTF is a bluetooth cable?
Is that /bin/laden or /usr/bin/laden?
Apparently, the audible ping wasn't so helpful, either. LED's are cheap, bright, and probably use a lot less power than the buzzer element that makes the ping, I'm left wondering why the damn thing doesn't just flash.
Flash... Memory... Get it?
Which isn't the point the post I was replying to was trying to make, thus why I didn't mention it.
Got a GPS?
Good.
Now, go jump in a lake with it.
Where are you? What? No GPS lock? Oh, that's ok, it still transmits its last known coordinates and you shouldn't be too far from there; I'll just use that signal. Oh... wait, there's no signal. Hmm, that LARGE BODY OF WATER must be blocking it.
