Having actually used NGP-VAN, I think it's far more likely that this was a bug, not a conspiracy. The VAN is a real clunker in many ways, so it's not surprising that a bug like this would appear; and public exposure of a conspirac

The proposal tries to limit Google's power, but I think it would have the opposite effect: Google (and other behemoths) can afford the tax, but upstarts will be kept out of the market—so it'll be harder for new entrants to challen

Brett Glass's head just exploded. If you're not familiar with him, Brett is a small ISP operator who dependably interrupts internet policy conversations to accuse pretty much everyone of shilling for Google. Lessig took the time t

Bootstrap was never meant to be used as a website development framework This seems odd. Most Bootstrap styles aren't namespaced, so it's a nightmare to add Bootstrap to existing projects of moderate size. In my experienc

Well, sort of. In the Manning case, the government argued that wget was unauthorized on government-owned client machines. Their argument in that case wouldn't apply to the public's use of wget to send requests to government-owned
