Perhaps. Then again, with an agreement between the companies involved and whatever mostly-unknown-to-us services they provide, the additional security layer you speak of could be meaningless. I doubt most of the legal teams of said corporat

One of my criteria for a good registrar measures how much effort it takes to transfer a domain away from the registrar. I love godaddy's customer support even though I am no longer a customer, don't get me wrong. I loved that I could just c

Google and Microsoft both are registrars. The answer to your question is likely that MarkMonitor specializes in corporate domain management, and the services they probably offer make it worthwhile to not do everything in-house even at these

Ill-fitting shirt pictures aside, the bigger problem is sizing availability. I'm willing to overlook what looks like a total lack of womens shirts, but the near lack of anything but large-size (and a handful of XL) shirts is pretty disappoi

Sometimes a little surprise can be good. I wonder if it's too much overhead to specify what kind of flavors/candies/snacks you like and have it "surprise" chosen from there. This means you can't go for the same Pocky or hard candy or whatev

I have had that experience in some communities. I have not in others. Like I said, the Cocoa developer community? I have a hard time thinking of the last time I had a problem with someone. Online gaming? It happens half the time I open my m

I would not disagree. I completely expect there to be some societal influence and it is definitely a hard thing to come to terms with especially when you fit the profile that your culture currently deems unattractive. It's still a personal

Shame on the culture that promotes hostility, but attractiveness is a personal decision. You just have to accept that some people just don't like old fat bald guys. As much as it may seem surprising to the group of HNers that are single men

I feel like we're on the same page yet not. I believe the key to the situation is will and interest. It is not drinks or attractiveness or grinding. All of that is awesome if everyone is okay with it. I too will also regularly talk to, danc

Well, Google+ and many social networks feel designed to be opt-in so interaction between people that aren't directly connected somehow is limited and suboptimal. For example, some people I don't know have added me to a circle of theirs on g

There is a lot more to it than "old fat bald guy". I don't know why so many people keep missing the extra clues, including in this past weekend's skeptic/atheist brouhaha over Richard Dawkins being ignorant. In short, it's the same damn sit

I've considered it! I used to play with someone that liked doing that to poke fun at someone else who had one of the deepest voices I had ever heard, too. I think the problem would lie in that the distortions might make it harder to underst

It has nothing to do with assault over the internet and everything to do with the way others perceive you. I would love to imagine I live in a world where it doesn't matter what chromosomes and sex organs you were born with, and really, I h

I'm just glad Google+ has an "other" option to begin with. Facebook lets you hide gender (which would be nice to have in google+), but they only offer male/female. Really, I'm more disgruntled that Google+ lets you put down your relationshi

There are a LOT more buttons than that, and I enjoy how descriptive they are. There is educational, interesting, funny, agree, disagree, and love for each post. I have to say I really appreciate Ravelry having so many options for voting. I

I don't think there's anything wrong with a big or small approach to social networking, as both are necessary and useful in their own way. I think it's all about how well the site caters to their audience. I used to feel that Facebook was j

I was surprised at how few randomly generated passwords there were in that list, if any. Like you mention, there's a lot of variants on qwerty/12345/!@#$%: 1qaz2wsx, Zaq1Xsw2, 1qazxsw23e, 1q2w3e, !@#$1234, etc. "ZXasqw12!@" was about as ran

The drivers I've come across tend to have water bottles already set out, as well as snacks, mints, gum, Starburst and more sitting around. That's just a side perk :)

Not terribly surprised this didn't get funded. The idea to redesign a braille watch is not a bad one, but I could think of better uses of $250. Braille watches are available for half that price with a more universal design (just simple dots
