I see. It would be really nice to have a community which develops hellepoll. After all, having a maintained alternative to node.js written in C++ would be very nice. I'm not saying node.js isn't OK or that those who use it are doing somethi

This is pretty cool. Do you plan to continue working on hellepoll? I liked the idea and would love to see it developed further.

I couldn't agree more with the part about the search. It looks like they're in a bad position already if they plan to deploy such a feature. I'm guessing they're having some internal issues, they must be concerned with their situation as a

I don't normally wish people any kind of death other than a good natural one when they're extremely old, but I can certainly wish the corrupt politicians slow excruciatingly painful deaths.

This further proves that laws against this exact kind of thing have to be created, simply abolishing PIPA / SOPA is NOT by any means enough. It's not OK to do this. This kind of thing has to stop.

They should add this for the base OS. Seriously, they should make it possible for people to debug their OSes and provide them with rewards and financial rewards as well. At least this way some old bugs would actually go away.

Can we know for sure some of those folks didn't make those statements after being blackmailed by their record labels or some "interested party"? The way I see it, people change their positions when: a)they're blackmailed - either you stop e

It's better to allow these sites to continue to exist and demand that they comply with the requests than take them down with the FBI or whatever law enforcement agency. The precedent is far too dangerous. It's so dangerous that it could mak

If you've bought a Windows 7 kit and your DVD got damaged, you could copy a friend's disc or use one downloaded from work off technet / software assurance / msdn. The point is that it's OK from a legal point of view, as long as you use your

No, not really. They can check the hashes against those of official ISOs from M$, thus making sure they don't come with extra "features". As for updates, they can get those too. However, MS might be reading their mail and all they type if t

This is just sugar coating for the crap they're covering. I'd reduce it all down to: we didn't want people to use SQL Server on *NIX because we wanted to sell them expensive OS licenses & licenses for other products. >environment no

Great, thank you!

I'm sorry, I should've mentioned. I was talking about deploying these images on EC2 compatible clouds - like openstack / Eucalyptus. Some of us aren't customers of Amazon's EC2 service, so it would be nice if there was some sort of "how to"

That's great, good work! How about using them on something EC2 compatible, outside of EC2? Are they available somewhere?

From previous experience with AGPL licensed libraries and tools, I decided that it's best to avoid them without exception. Basically, GPL and LGPL are the only acceptable licenses from the *GPL family of licenses when building websites. (GP

It's AGPL licensed? That just upped this company's retarded level to maximum. I saw they raised 1.7 million USD in funding. Who was so stupid to give them money for this?

Actually, if it's too complicated to do something like just setting up that build and maintaining it for two platforms (development and, possibly, deployment), it's also very likely a lot of people will stick to something which requires les

The problem is that some people still remember some of the stories about how Microsoft blackmailed some hardware vendors to stop shipping devices with Linux and how they sued companies which sell Android based devices. Because of that reaso

They're trying to convince people opa isn't a load of trash. Write some code, tag it with "built for the cloud", say "it's the future / next gen / teh shit / extremely awesome / nice / etc" and hope people believe that crap. After all, they

Due process? You mean like paying 50 millions to the congress to get a law to pass? Yeah, we can see how good this is. Law? You mean like the 1st amendment of the US constitution? Yeah, we can see how easy new laws can override the previous

I've got reasons to suspect that guy is working for godaddy as he keeps defending them. I really wish I could've downvoted him.

I didn't say anything about not doing the same to the others. Please feel free to list up others along with what they did / are doing and I will support actions against all of those as well. I only said the boycott against godaddy is OK for

What they're getting is well deserved. If I go out and do bad things, I go to jail, people will hate me / dislike me and wish that I stay in jail for a long time because I'm a criminal. Why should people & companies who threaten importa

by kermitthehermit 15y ago
While your view might be acceptable for some things, it's not acceptable when it comes to godaddy. Their CEO is a bad person, they do a lot of bad things, they're exempt from SOPA, they support it, they helped redact it, they never withdrew

Hello, GoDaddy employee. GoDaddy needs to learn their lesson for the mistakes they did in the past and for SOPA. I wish I could have downvoted you.

Here's a tip: SWITCH, they suck ass. Basically, the CEO hunts elephants ( http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/03/31/bob-parsons-godaddy... ), they helped redact SOPA & support it, they are exempt from SOPA, have a bad attitude, refuse

Migrate away from GoDaddy. I couldn't care less that they have changed their position when they started seeing people are migrating their domains from their services. After all, let's not forget other "great" news about GoDaddy we've seen i
