If I were this company, I would seriously consider taking this article down and not mentioning it in public again. I think it's fairly likely that this conduct it quite seriously illegal. I hope you guys don't get into any trouble

I feel like I'm missing the joke. The section "hating on" Times New Roman is displayed in the font-family Times New Roman. Is the author just having some fun?

From my reading of the article (which may well not represent the whole story, I admit) they only "thumped him over the head" with a C&D when he asked for $10,000 for his infringing domain. I'm not sure being a 12th grader

Am I missing something? The wikipedia article claims he intentionally bought the domain because it sounded like Microsoft. The domain very clearly infringed on Microsoft's trademark. Microsoft offered to repay him the cost of buying th

Agricultural requires water. But much of the "requirement" is a product of the ready supply and low cost of that water. If fresh water prices rise, the more water-intensive agricultural crops are grown less and become more expensi

I was a little surprised that they haven't included anything about spam or gamification. One core advantage of pagerank is that it's (relatively) hard to get links from high-authority websites. I can't force whithouse.gov or

You are correct, but the system isn't really as strange as you imply. Many wholesalers in many different markets set a recommended retail price that's some multiple of the wholesale price they charge to their customers. As far as

This is really dumb. Firstly, I'd bet dollars to donuts that his ISP advertises "up to" a certain speed and includes language in the T&Cs that specifies speeds may vary based on a variety of factors. Secondly, is this eve

This is an interesting approach, but markdown strips whitespace which could be problematic with some forms of indentation (for dialogue, etc.) Might still be worth it though. Thanks.

My back-of-the-envelope first-approximation math suggests you'd need "only" about half a million of these things to cover the entire surface area of the Earth. To me, that seemed a surprisingly low number.

While I'm not qualified to say, I certainly would predict so. Many price-monitoring tools pull data from MtGox. For anyone using those tools, the price has been stable at $125 for the last few hours and will stay that way until the exchange

That site is pulling data from Mt.Gox, the largest exchange. Mt.Gox suspended trading a few hours ago, and has been showing a "last price" of $124.90 since. On other exchanges (where trading is not suspended), the price is currently hoverin
