Why not? It works for science and math classes.

Your conclusion is not based with facts. Most landlords in the city do not have rent-controlled properties. That is a fact you can look up in the City websites. Therefore, the argument that rent is going up to offset rent-controlled prop

I'd just like to point out that this article is written by an author who almost always "get's it wrong." I've even been in a couple of her stories. They are always PR pitched and biased. VC funding stops. VC funding starts. Building is

We are not doing that. Of course. I wish I could edit the headline.

FWIW, OpenDNS will not ever shut down our service and I doubt most of those other sites will either. I keep seeing this "nuclear option" story and it's annoying. We will keep fighting against SOPA, but we won't shut down our service in pro

This is the nature of languages, particularly scripting languages. Fundamentally, the creators of PHP are not representative of the mainstream users of PHP. That's a problem. Just look at perl6. Use the parts of PHP that matter most to yo

While it's possible that this is true, it's still exceptionally bad practice. Reversible encryption, particularly when stored server-side, which is almost always going to be the case, and even if using a HSM, isn't entirely different from

I can't actually find a link to the new paper, the "Red in a new light" paper. Just the citeseer link. Is it online?

I've read the legislation in its multiple versions. I've never seen a version where GoDaddy is exempt. I've seen the versions where EVERY SERVICE PROVIDER WHO COMPLIES WITH SOPA is exempt from financial liability for making a mistake, but

Peter's drinking a bit too much of the Kool-Aid. Chrome advances the web. It does this because it's damn good. It's forced others to be good. None of this has anything to do with the point being made in the OP he's responding to. Everyth

This is not Chrome's purpose. Everything between the user and the monetization mechanism (advertisement) is strategic to Google. It just doesn't sound as warm and fuzzy when they say it like that.

I've read most iterations of the bills in the house and senate. I was one of the first to point out it wasn't limited to just DNS blocking. I'm not caught up on the amendments but I don't see any evidence GoDaddy is exempt, outside of the

Most of this is not a new posting -- just the material at the top. She is using dangerous language -- talking about children, and about counterfeit goods which harm lives. She makes it seem as if one must be for SOPA if they want to be agai

This is true, but it's also theatre.

This is likely the case with a number of the supporters. It's important to note all the companies who back out of their support -- which is an even stronger signal that not signing in the first place. It indicates they were hoodwinked!

This is very wrong. Google cares deeply if Chrome wins. You are being way too narrow in your focus. Advertising is not their product, it's their revenue stream. Their product is _everything_ that sits between a user and monetizing an ad.

This pretty much nails it. It's so bad. It's my first experience with Android, and the UI is heinous. I'm not sure how it was ever released.

Let me know when you want to get in touch with reality. This is SOPA. The government has done far worse. And the Internet will survive SOPA, just as it survived the DMCA. That doesn't mean it isn't horrible. It still needs to be stopped.

You'll find that perspective (of which I strongly support) will overwhelmingly apply to individual criminal and constitutional matters, not laws like SOPA. civil disobedience of these sorts is just asking to get your ass legally handed to y

This is an idiotic post. I run OpenDNS. If SOPA passes and I don't implement it, I will be sued out of existence. The 60 jobs I provide now, and the 60 jobs I'm hiring for, will vaporize. And there will be programmers who will do the work

This doesn't look like a joke. Dangerous. Anyone who has done this methodology runs screaming for an exit after a failed project or two.

It just takes time, unfortunately. This story is still developing. The domain owner needed to get his domain back first, and foremost.

Not the case. Andrew Bridges was at the Stanford Law Center's SOPA talk last night. He knows his law inside and out and was all over this. The government messed up here and tried to bury it. Because he didn't go away that this is coming

This is outrageous. If you aren't doing something about it, you are tacitly approving of it. You could, quite literally, have your domain taken away tomorrow.

You've forgotten your history. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Embrace,_extend_and_extinguish And don't think it's not possible, a number of MSFT folks who employed this strategy are now in leadership roles at GOOG.

The Director of Communications needs a new headshot. I'm sure he's a swell dude, but his photo makes him look like he's about to pounce on you.

It doesn't failover to normal DNS. That's available (off by default) for those folks who place continuity above security. Life's full of tradeoffs. Source is on GH -- http://github.com/opendns/dnscrypt-proxy

As someone who went to Washington to meet with the folks who wrote this garbage, I can confidently say yes. It will be considered a circumvention device when you use a VPN or encryption service to route around the blocks.
