   Interestingly enough, Freshdesk apparently got started when Zendesk raised their prices - and a comment on HN about how this created a market for a cheaper competitor gave them the initial idea. So, at least partly a rip-off in my book. Sou

   Gandi is super awesome ! One quick thing though: since last year they have a US subsidiary (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gandi ), which might or might not make them more susceptible to US law.

   What better example of xenophobia/prejudice is there than invoking centuries old sayings about people from other conutries being one way or another ! That people get shafted when doing business outside their network (cultural or national or

    Am I alone in thinking this mildly disgusting mix or prejudice, xenophobia, personal opinions and pop research has no place on HN ?

    And a lots and lots of people were innocent until proven innocent. Why you'd bring Reiser of all people in this is beyond me... Is it because Assange is kind of a geek and Reiser a programmer ? If this seems like a valid connection to you,
