An anecdote tangential to the main topic: Its well known that not all states in the USA have the same gun control laws. For instance, in New York, a gun is banned in the hands of civilians. Now suppose, you are traveling from city A to B wi

Are you trying to imply that Youtube is a monopoly? Aren't there others like vimeo, etc.? Besides, there is nothing from technology perspective to make it a monopoly. All you need is a server rack and a bunch of web developers who can

Did you try complaining to ICANN about it via any means? An alternative is to throw a DMCA on them through Google, that's much faster (though its intended use is reporting of copyright violations, not sure how it'll work for repor

Too bad, the owner of Nissan Computers had to go through a lot of hardships[1], just because his family name happened to be the same as that of a crony capitalist. Such stories make me sad, especially since there are extremely few who could

There should be an easy way through which you can complain against the squatters online. Maybe Google should act as a mediator here as they can blacklist any domain from their searches and thus hold about as much power as the registrars&#x2

You are absolutely correct. The ones that get the most worth and respect are actually the middlemen who are good communicators between the "geeky" types and the zero knowledge "corporate" types. Whether the middlemen des

Your only issue would be perhaps screen real estate! Since this is a pure JavaScript plus jQuery app and doesn't have any heavy framework like Angularjs, performance shouldn't be a problem. Having said that, there are a few UI iss

Nice tool badgeek! You've given me some nice ideas for displaying the tables on canvas. I like the fact that you've given "add column" button on the tables itself instead of opening a separate edit view.
