I would much rather http://fuckshit.example.com/ end up at a browser error page instead of being redirected to my site. This prevents the clever person who decides to link to me with http://fuckshit.example.com/ as the URL. (And I use

1. I don't want to provide multiple entry points. As an intentionally vulgar example, http://f***you.example.com would resolve if using a wildcard address. That is unacceptable. 2. I'm in the process of setting up a self-assembling system

The harm is that they're effectively typo-squatting my domain, as well as all the rest of their customers' domains which don't use wildcard A records. They're breaking DNS. Typo-squatting is addressed by both the ACPA ( http://en.wikipedia.

As with everything, you have to learn the hard way the first time. The difference though is that no other registrar I've used (6 of them) has used such an aggressive tactic that breaks DNS for monetization purposes. Typically you change the

I have nothing bad to say about their support, and I hopefully made that clear in my original post. That doesn't, however, relieve them of their responsibility in my opinion to provide good services. The problem I have is that it wasn't imm

This is what initially drew me to name.com, they seemed to have their act together. Unfortunately there just isn't a way to fully evaluate a situation without trying it first. Just as I don't give GoDaddy business any longer due to their po

It is the predatory behavior that basically amounts typo-squatting a domain that I find most repulsive. I'm completely technically capable and yet I was serving ads on my domain without being aware of it because they aren't respecting the w

I configured the DNS immediately. However, one thing I'm not willing to do is set up a wildcard A record for my hosted zone when the request should be returning an nxdomain instead. There is no way in name.com's setting to enable that. On a

And that was a fun way to spend an evening: new reactor designs are quite cool :). It seems like a lot of the innovation is occurring in parallel with both fuel types and containment approaches. I too look forward to having completely passi

Control rod insertion is designed to be an entirely passive operation, effectively making the default state one where the fission reaction is not active. Your proposals are all different ways to stop the fission reaction but do not address

Where were you when I did http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2378114 ? :) You make a good point. In order to keep peace with the designer, centering stays, but I can set fixed decimal lengths. Update: I just took a look at a fixed length

The difficulty in reporting on radiation is trying to provide useful information to an audience unfamiliar with the field. In my opinion the trick becomes to explain the levels in a context the audience can understand so that you don't have

The official line from the press conference being given by the Secretary General of Japan is "We don't know and we are investigating further, however radiation is still within acceptable levels." This means the only real update from this pr

One of the interesting things about disaster recovery planning for nuclear power plants is that you count on (X) number of things to go wrong and figure out how the plant recovers gracefully. In Japan they've effectively had three things go
