That's the funny thing about anecdotes. You get to cherry-pick examples and make broad allegations from those cherry-picked examples. I'm a self-taught developer, and I've worked with plenty of "credentialed" develo

I've had a bad impression with the v3 release. In the past year I've had two hardware failures and recently had an issue with the Netgear firmware causing upwards of 80% packet loss. Switching to DD-WRT fixed the packet loss issue

Trying to use Tokyo might be your problem. There is a notice posted at the top of the page saying "Supporting Finland, Germany, Norway, Sweden, United Kingdom and the United States to date" so it looks like your selection sh

If you want to get pedantic, then the Facebook corporation is the most popular social network corporation. We're talking about platforms here, not the parent company.

You can be a great developer and not know the first thing about server administration. They aren't mutually inclusive skill-sets in the least. If I spend my day working on embedded systems, why would I give a rat's ass about a web

Honestly, I wish more people would start setting reasonable expectations for students. While I will agree that walking on stage and saying "Look to your left, look to your right. One of you will not be here in a year" is not the r

Like all things, there are two sides to any story. This reporter was barred from attending the event, and got into a bad situation and is angry at the outcome. Take what is said with a huge grain of salt. Now. I don't know why she was

Long story made short: The reporter was trespassing. She was told by Yale staff that she could not come to the event, and went anyway, then got indignant when she was detained by a police officer for trespassing. Why is this on HN?

But is that really ignorance of the law? Wouldn't there be a difference between knowing the law and knowing whether the content is blocked under other "normal" conditions?

What if I used this DNS for other reasons and just happened to find that I could watch NFL? Would that still be illegal? Is it my responsibility to know where/why/how they block content so that I don't inadvertently access it

No, a bank is not responsible for my financial well being and I never made that assertion. In this case they more certainly are responsible for what happened. And yes, Our country is governed by feelings and we are in a deep hole. If a memb

Engineers can be held liable if something they designed catastrophically malfunctions. Maybe people responsible for the economic well-being of, well, the whole damned world should too? People tend to think it's wrong that a corporation

I think there is a misunderstanding of my point. I'm trying to say that at the point that you list your domain that you intended to use but do not for a crazy sum, that is when you become a squatter. Simply holding onto a site with the

by 67726e 13y ago
All in all, drawing comparisons between something like a domain and real world objects are disingenuous at best. I'm not going to detail how apple.com is different from your Ford Pinto. You do not own a domain. That is false right off

Squatting is squatting is squatting. You may have registered with the intent to use it but now that you are not using it you think you deserve money for the ability to rent it?

The use of "they" to refer to one person is incorrect. Maybe things have changed since I was in school, though I'm 20 so I doubt it, but it was never correct to use "they" instead of "he" or "she&quot

Perhaps we're coming at the situation from different viewpoints. You appear to be judging the situation based off of how "he" came to be a default while I'm coming at the situation from the viewpoint of intentions. Hones

Again, I don't really see using "he" as sexist. It's just the English language. From Merriam-Webster: 1: prejudice or discrimination based on sex; especially : discrimination against women 2: behavior, conditions, or att
