Godaddy has always worked toward a better regulated internet with protections. Clearly something like sopa is needed so godaddy was doing what its always done. Work toward a better internet.
Man get your facts straight. Godaddy did not craft anything, they made solicited suggestions. The exemption you are so hysterical about is one that would apply to all registrars so that their other customers arnt affected should one customer violate the law. Finally the only reason godaddy was asked to help advise is because of their impact in the industry.
Godaddy has withdrawn their support. Dont listen to idiots at reddit. Read the press releases your self. If you can't believe those them there is no hope for you.
The mob mentality that has become so commonplace needs to stop. One way of doing so is to remove anonymity from the internet. Who ever figures that out will became rich AND stop the decline of civilization and civility
Idiot . Tmobile uses hot chick beer commercials, if name cheap were big enough so would they. Sex sells. You are just trying to find an excuse. Pretty poor choice
because he thinks the scientologists are out to get him: "I couldn't be employed while I was trying to hide out from them. They have agents inside the IRS, so when you use your social security number, they just pull it and come and get you." I mean, come on, this guy is a complete nut job...give me a break.
yeah.. do some research before you condemn him
No they were banned due to Linden Lab's new policy on age-play. Linden Lab is a private company so they can ban whoever they want for whatever reason they want.

I'm not surprised they gave you a hard time - you are the customer support nightmare, I would have accidentally hung up on you
[quote]have to pay a $39.95 disconnect fee. That's when I got angry. Things got very heated. They insisted it was just three paragraphs down in the user agreement. After the call I dug into it and it was 3/4 of the way down buried in page after page of legalese[/quote]
Of course you didn't read the agreement, no one really does anymore, but that doesn't mean you don't have to abide by it. No matter where the fee was 'buried'
Your hardware troubles are pretty isolated, Id say it was clueless user syndrome if it wasn't just phone service.
climate change is indeed happening, although there are many more factors involved than just greenhouse effect. Most of it has to do with urbanization. We can either stop building cities and stop reproducing or we can deal with it.
Models and 'evidence' are inconsistant, and when this is pointed out it becomes part of the model.
example:
statement: Glaciers are melting everywhere/n
evidence: not all glaciers are melting, some are actually advancing/n
revised statement: most glaciers are melting due to global warming, the few that arn't actually prove the rule by being an exception./n
Bottom line - global warming/climate change is one issue that is a waste of time to get involved in (except for the fearmongers of course)
Guns are dagerous. Period. - no they are not
And stupid people should not handle guns - now your getting somewhere.. gun's arn't dangerous, stupid people with guns are.
Hell we used to make pipebombs, calcium carbide bombs, nitro (wasn't successful), smoke bombs, potato guns, acetylene bombs, all KINDS of fun bombs. My friends and I weren't and are not 'terrorists', just teenagers
nowadays if someone does stuff like that their life can be ruined.
a lot of people are saying that this was inappropriate conversation.
Even the ones defending him say 'while it might have not been smart to talk about this at work' etc...
NO.. there is NOTHING wrong with talking about this at work, in a theatre, on a bus, in a cafe..ANYWHERE
Holy shit, its not the government taking away our rights its apologists GIVING it all away
Obviously he shouldn't have been fired for it, but thats neither here nor there for purposes of what I'm talking about. Im talking about the whole 'well it was right BUT he shouldn't have said it' crowd
God damn I hope your not teaching your kids your short sightedness
this explanation doesn't use actual math but from a layman's perspective it seems correct.
fusion occurs when some 'force' is broken down (strong nuc, weak nuc, or something)
This occurs naturally under tremendous heat and/or pressure
Thus far nothing we have found will break down or neutralize this force except for extreme heat, further the 'math' indicates that only these extreme temperatures can do it. So so-called 'cold fusion' isn't possible, we need to be looking at a way to generate and contain the extreme temps, not try to find a way to use colder temps.
move over to the other lane. If another lane isn't possible and you really feel as though your life is in danger you can always pull over.
Chances are if you are being tailgated it is YOU who are going too slow. Look in your mirror, if you see more than 1 or 2 cars behind you either speed up or move.
You can tport away, you can 'stand up', you can mute the objects owner, and yes you CAN log off.
There is no way to rape someone in SL (or problably any virtual world in existance) - equating the kind of harrassment you are talking about to rape is demeaning to actual rape victims.
Heres an (fictional) example
Two women are talking at a coffee shop, one mentions she was 'raped' in SL, the other one turns white as a ghost and asks how/what happened/etc.. after the woman explaines that her character got 'trapped' in a cage, and filthy disgusting images were portrayed and she was 'forced' to look the other women stands up, stares incredulously at the SL'er and just shakes her head..why? because she was really raped once when she was in college and ended up having to get an abortion at 21.
so is that a better fucking perspective?
Okay so I don't know foreign politics (hell I barely know US politics), but what is the Queens position on this? Can she do anything about it?
We may have a stupid, inept president, but you guys are getting scary 1984 scenarios. I'm not sure whats worse (and I bet they're related too)
damn that was a truly insightful post (im sure the moderation will be forthcoming).
You can tell it was an intelligent response by the number of replies that say 'your wrong nya nya nya' or 'I'm ignoring your rant on statistics' (because it doesn't agree with me)
Good job shailand, I especially love the part where you debunk the fact that stats can predict safety, you are exactly right, however some people are too narrow minded to understand.
There is no need to specify 'holy grail'
If you've seen it, its funny and you get it.
If you havn't you dont' get it and even after being explained you won't find it funny.
or maybe you were just trying to show off that you do 'get it'?
People feel overwhelmed and decide not to choose anything.
As the great storytellers of RUSH say:
If you choose not to decide, still you have made a choice:)
