If that's true, get a new registrar. I've had my home number and alternatively, my cell number, listed on my registrations and I've never received a phone call as a result.

My point is that they don't need drones for aerial enforcement. Its been going on for years and in some ways, the "do it with a drone" element is a bit of a red herring. The very real question that needs to be considered is w

Modern unmanned aerial vehicles like the Northrop Grumman RQ-4 and the General Atomics MQ-1 cost in the millions. Cessna and helicopters do not. Granted there are cheaper UAV out there, and generally its unlikely they could carry a payload

What's the difference between using a manned aircraft and an unmanned aircraft to do speed enforcement?

I love the denial... “Along with not having drones we definitely do not have any drones that would fire any type of weaponry.” Somehow I think the second class is already covered by the first class. A conspiracy nut would have a field day w

I refuse to make any disclaimer. My question is, what is the crime if someone is "chatting" with a bot? Any crime I could imagine would require a bad actor to actually engage with a person - how is it a crime if there is no victim

If I understand the promo correctly, that's a whole lot of twitter spam that needs to go out to unlock this deal.

I make it a habit to tear these down as often as I can get away with. Funny, no one has ever put up a sign to tell me not to tear down the signs. I've learned that passive aggressive can work both ways. ;-)

Gotta love what passes as a story nowadays. I'm glad AllthingsD is so deeply embedded in tech reporting that they caught this gem. Imagine that - SNL did a skit. About something technology related. Really, it was news in 1994 when folks wer

I'm gonna call bullshit on this one. The world isn't black and white and not all managers are assholes and employees never divide neatly down "yes" and "no" lines and any manager worth their salt knows this. And the secret of success does

It might just be me, I found that initial scrolling transition to be brutally distracting. And I wanted to give the article a proper chance, so I read down the page and stumbled over the navigation to the next page, which gave me this error

the controls are goofy. Why does the down button suddenly become the up button when the block rotates. Shouldn't it stay the same? It does add an extra level of challenge though! :)

name.com and name cheap are both backed by enom. name.com is explicitly owned by enom and namecheap is an enom reseller. Not saying that enom is an asshole, just that its a good idea to know who you are really dealing with. Both of these sh

I don't like the argument here. I mean, in the technical sense. It seems to attempt to lever facts about a specific situation into an otherwise unsupported generalization. A couple of things leapt out at me - a) Aaron wasn't subject to the

I think the original article sort of falls short of making its point. No one ever designed their way to global domination. The market buys the entire package, not just the gloss. Pretty stuff that doesn't work well doesn't meet with success

Anil is technically correct. And 10 years ago, the top three social networks were Userland Radio, MoveAbleType and Blogware. And Blackberry was an awesome smartphone. And 10 years later, the early adopters have moved on to other things and

And perhaps I should add a "why" - the universe of web properties that can convert is limited. They typically have a small audience, so the real spend for any specific brand that will really convert into actual $$ sales is limited. I'm gues

The author ignores that there are a limited number of big ad budgets that will spend big $$ on shitty placements like ESPN, etc. I speak from experience. Anyone spending more than $1m a year on Internet advertising is investing in "branding

All gTLD registrations are subject to U.S. law. Its an artifact of the structure of the market and technology. If you want a reasonably safe registration, pick a domain in a country-code TLD with laws you like and registry directly with the

Umm. I think you mean we need an open solution to domain registration. DNS is one of the oldest open Internet protocols.

It opens the door wider to competitors like app.net. The more restrictive twitter gets, the less competitive they will be and the larger the opportunity for competitors will get. This all benefits users in the long run.

There is a loss of choice and utility available from Instagram, which create an opportunity for a competitor in the market. This increases choice and utility for consumers. In the long run, the market always wins and consumers benefit. (gra

Companies compete, users win. The press nearly always gets this wrong and the viewpoint has taken root in our collective thinking. Competition is about customers, not competitors. With competition, customers should get better stuff, more st

This announcement came as a total surprise to the domain industry. I should have known something was afoot a few weeks ago when analysts started calling looking for the inside track on rumors and news. They usually don't do that unless they
