You could probably just redirect all emails to @gmail.com, and most users would be none the wiser. Then you'd be able to trivially do password resets on any accounts that were created with the typo domain.

I don't think you need to wait for anything; I think he's describing MinGW that comes with a Windows install of Git. It's been around for a long time. Cygwin vs MinGW is a whole other argument, of course.

It would have to appear outside the view-port. alert('blah') works like this in most browsers. In Chrome, it's subtle (it covers up your bookmark bar); if you're not paying attention, it'd be easy to fall for a spoo

I think the Game Developer Tycoon one is the only actual success story, and that's because the story went viral. For every person who goes out of their way to complain on the forums, there's probably five that just caution their f
