Just a friendly word of caution: such a huge price differential (0 cents in vs ~15 cents out per GB) is a kind of lockin.

It looks like an odd choice, but it works well for some applications. I've done several apps that take advantage of both local control and the ease of web UI. Imagine having a web app with perfect security, zero latency and infinite bandwid

You used to be able to buy something like this at Pearl or other craft centers. It comes in sheets you heat in water in the microwave and shape to fit. My mom had a set of screwdrivers with custom grips. I think it was called thermal decora

The "visa discount" is a real phenomenon, but the alternative is not coming here at all. You don't have to like it (I don't), but that's how it goes.

I was being a bit glib. The sausage factory is there for a reason. That reason often sucks, but it's not random. Look at it from a policy maker's standpoint: strip out the happy talk about money and jobs. What this boils down to is a group

To be fair, this was not at all part of the original proposal; it's one of those idiotic riders tacked on by politicians after they get their hands on something. The only "approval" required was in the form of investors stumping up cash. An

You are on the right track. If you are interested, I wrote a post on this idea a little while ago: http://carlos.bueno.org/2008/08/save-web.html

A standard joke about that: a dialect is an ideolect with a history and body of literature. A language is a dialect with an army and a navy. Language is an instrument of politics like any other. Where my father grew up, the dominant languag

That, unfortunately, is so common there's a name for it: second system effect or second version syndrome.

Yeah, it bothered me too. :) I was trying to get across that I was talking about a singular world-spanning entity instead of some abstract protocol. I'm not sure of the real grammar rules.

I could not put it in the article, but for my personal projects I use worldwidedns.net and mtgsy.com. I've also used DNSPark.net but their admin interface is nasty.

You are right that search engines have made some advances in the courts in recent years, but the bases for their wins are thin and not the same in all countries. Barring legal action a site can block Google's known IPs entirely, forcing a s

For what it's worth, people who are children now will have missed the wild days of the Web when everyone had their own API, data, and UI stacks and no two apps looked or behaved the same. I'm not sure I agree with the OP. When there is real

The biggest problem is that a centralized archive is at the mercy of copyright holders ex-post-facto. I defy you to find more than a few recent articles from the NYTimes.com on archive.org. Things get taken down all the time.
