I moved to a third-level .name domain in 2005 precisely because one of the Big Email providers (Google) locked me out of my account with no recourse; presumably because I had a very common email address that was getting a large number of lo

I have used a third-level .name domain as my primary domain and email since 2005, and I am in this list of domains affected. This is the first I have heard of this, does anyone have information on _when_ this might occur? In the RSEP it sta

During a 1 month period (2024-03-26 to 2024-04-25) FontAwesome sent me 18 different marketing emails, including 4 in one day. I am not sure that matches with their supposed 'instinct' and I am unsurprised that they have a bad emai

I was also in this room, merged in from powerlanguage's side into Notch's group. The group ended up convincing about 40-50 members to vote to Stay, and when the vote passed it created a private subreddit for the group with random

I am seeing blurry text on every tooltip as it animates in, not just the one on the download button. I assume it is related to ClearType rendering the text on non-pixel locations. Chrome 47, Windows 8, ClearType enabled.

Not to mention the fact that in addition to you being good (and therefore expensive) to have a HA system, you would need at least two of you.

To see where this might lead, consider the UK, where this is already the case. The Equality Act 2012 [1] (which itself is a replacement for the Disabilities Discrimination Act which also applied to websites) requires: A person (a “servi

Now that Amazon S3 provides Website Endpoints and index documents [1][2], it is probably fairly trivial to set this up either using an S3 sync tool, or an S3 mount such as ExpanDrive, without resorting to CloudDrive or EC2. You would need t

There are a couple of other services which are more "client-suitable" and have a few more options: * http://dummyimage.com/ * http://placehold.it/ The most useful thing to come out of this post for me is the knowledge of dummyimages.com

Traffic was unexpected, I was expecting the site to travel within a small group of friends and colleagues who were in on the joke. I uploaded the site to a mediatemple (dv) server, on which Apache's MaxClients is set to a paltry 20. Whilst

It also appears that I should have taken that extra couple of hours to host the site somewhere other than a small mediatemple server, you're all hitting HTTP client limits at the moment.

These numbers sound about right to me. In the UK, with ~2 million engaged viewers, we see around a 1-2% conversion when a URL is mentioned and shown on the screen (off the top of my head 20,000 users in a 30 sec period would be a fair avera

Its simple, but it works well, especially to pick main theme colours, mrspeaker rightly points out that doing so in a tiny preview window rarely gives you a proper indication. I'm not entirely sure that it actually fits into a designer or c
