Does anyone understand how domain seizing technically works? What are they actually doing? Whois'ing the domain shows the nameservers are with GoDaddy. Is it so simple that they are just asking GoDaddy to change the site to this image? I

I agree it probably isn't true. But I've seen this argument quite a few times about how there is not a chance something this important is covered by an NDA. People make mistakes. I think this argument has nothing to do with the relevance of

This is very much the direction I am trying to go. Of course I will be releasing as early possible. But many of the things you mentioned are on my radar, except for the dns api. I'll have to check out Zerigo. I am starting out as an Enom Re

This is an announcement of my current project. I have a very good idea of what I want in a domain registrar, but I would love to hear what other people want. Please let me know if, if you have the time.

Started watching this a few days ago. Although I was enjoying the talk, my wife (who doesn't know how awesome Jason is) pointed out that he was building a very big straw man when talking about the company where no one works. She had a good

A proffessor once told me never to believe the physical limits. He mentioned how a wavelength of light was the smallest we could etch silicon. He then mentioned that today (at the time of the class) we were etching with 1/20th the wavelengt

Yup, banned is very different from 'removed from reading list'.

This reminds me of a class I didn't study well for. We where allowed one piece of computer paper for reference. I printed my friend's entire set of notes for the class using a VERY small font. When I was done, he wanted a copy too :)

I actually thought the thesis was pretty interesting, it seems to be: "Unlike most large Web companies that built their businesses on cutting costs out of an industry and eliminating middlemen, OpenTable has managed to do the exact opposite

My favorite part: "Facebook has not responded at all; not taken these advertisers name off this bogus site -- or remove the site completely -- and takes no responsibility that someone unnamed can just create a page that can suggest that peo

Before CSS became popular, tables where used heavily, not just to show data, but also to layout page. As people started to use CSS for layout tables become the enemy. Tables became bad, and CSS became good. So much that some people where u

I think it is very important to note that Notch (the creator) has developed many other games before minecraft. Just check out is resume: http://www.mojang.com/notch/ I think this is just more evidence that over-night success, takes lots o

Surprised this isn't already here, pretty popular at my college: I wish I was your derivative, so I could lie tangent to your curves.

This make me wish there was one nearby within site from an insecure area. It would be very interesting to take data on male/female ratio over course of a few hours.

It would be interesting to make a service where you forwarded your email to somename@yournewapp.com and it replied with a link to that email so that you could easily share it. I haven't done my google homework. I wouldn't be surprised if it

Because of these things: - Apple decides which apps go and which don't. - I have to read a list of rules to know if I can actually sell my application - Apple takes 30% of my money. - Apple decides what programming language I can use. I tho

Thanks, I replaced it with what I intended, 'era'. I think my fingers are much more used to typing 'error' then 'era'. :)

The mac app store is the end of an era. For a while the mac was the most user-centered AND developer-centered platform that existed. When I bought my first mac apple was actively recruiting developers by having free conferences around the U

I am very surprised that Slicehost is still being updated. I thought that after the acquisition RackSpace was purposefully not updating Slicehost to get more customers to use their RackSpace branded version This update make me wonder if Rac

I recently instituted a "no domains after midnight" rule. I've dodged a few bullets with that one.

Looks like an amazing place. Since PG said he was open to suggestions. Why not rent it to y-combinator startups? I don't know much about SF, so I am assuming it doesn't make sense from a cost perspective.

I tried this out about a year ago while at college. The dependencies were very painful and I was never able to install it. I would love to know if anyone has this running on Mac OS X successfully now. I'd love to check it out, but had a ter

I deploy a large symfony php app with capistrano. The only big change I needed to add was to tell it not to run the server restarting code, other then that it wasn't that hard. Rollback support, and the fact that I don't have to login to th

This might be quite a bit off topic. But are any other coders a little tired of social features? I'm a pretty anti-social person. I always have a relatively small group of friends. When more social features are added to something I do all i

It looks great. I am really hoping this goes well for you so you can add more of Amazon's competitors.

I was in a similar situation but with a much more competent partner. But for different reasons we just weren't headed in the same direction. I said hey, here is a deal I am happy with. I am happy to be on either side of this deal, because i

I just updated my comment. I don't keep my names at 5 seconds, usually I keep them at 1800. But when I did a server move recently it was great that I could lower it to 5 seconds for the change. Most registrars don't have this support, and i

I agree, I probably am not going to use an API that I don't see any app using. Also if you write an app that transfers between two phones you will have a much better idea of how the API will need to work. Picture sharing is a good start
