   Please don't use "GitHub page". Github is not the only code hosting site out there and many people (like myself) don't use it.

    I use name.com for domain names and Linode for DNS and hosting, but gandi.net domains come with a 1 year SSL cert and a year of year whois privacy for $5.

    You do realize that Dropbox submitted the DMCA request under penalty of perjury, and that if it was in fact incorrect Dropbox has perjured themselves?

    Does anyone have evidence to back this up? I didn't look too hard, but the Wikipedia citation links to a page which links to pages that don't have any actual information on them.

    If your blog post adds literally no value whatsoever and is on a blog that is almost 100% repost spam, yes.

    So pg is right because he is pg? I'm not suggesting there will be any confusion, i'm suggesting that he's (assuming a "he" here) limiting himself by saying his entire project is just a cheap derivative of github. It gave you an idea of what

    I was about to sign up, but "Github for X" really bothers me. Good luck to you, but i think you can be more creative than defining your entire product as little more than an amp setting sharing site based on a project hosting site based on

    You believe your little iOS component is worth $150-$600? That's about as much as someone would pay for a fully-featured 3D game engine, something that thousands of man-hours went in to making and that does an incredible ammount of work fo

    Wait, we're supposed to handle redundancy ourselves and plan for issues!? I feel like i've seen this article before. Maybe because it's a low quality rehash of every submission on the HN frontpage?

    Google has always copied and almost never innovated. They've done so well because they can build better technical applications than their competitors (e.g. Gmail). That strategy doesn't work with social, though. They can rip off an idea and
