How about you use AWS to send an initial 302 redirect to a cheap host and nothing else ? Any reason that won't work ?

There's this ISP in Belgium, Telenet, that does this. I've never understood it. Their code is some java enterprise crap, and when helping out helpdeskers I've seen it and I've had the opportunity to see some of the code.

Also : I'm a customer of my isp. Not too happy about them at all. In fact, I'm a lot happier being Google's product (and I would argue that at least in a few instances this is not true).

I have visited, amongst other places, Cairo. I wouldn't be able to live there for the guilt it would instil in me. Sadly, Cairo is by far not the worst place (compared to New Delhi, government services are quite good in Cairo. Yes, rea

I think that falls under the "yelling fire in a crowded theatre" rule [1]. Yes, the US has freedom of expression, and you can claim whatever you want about the government (you can even lie). But if you yell 'fire' in a t

I keep wondering how people can possibly defend what Snowden did. He used social engineering exploits in his job as sysadmin on a large scale, then published the resulting information. He apparently even compromised personal accounts of the

I find this risky on the part of Renault. We still have the ENAC principle ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exceptio_non_adimpleti_contract... ). When Renault locks the electric car, they are reneging on their contractua

UN govt officials who sanction drone strikes can not be tried for war crimes because they're diplomats of a sovereign organisation. You have to understand what kinds of people these are (in general). They're part of powerful polit

Drone warfare, low-level warfare and terrorism would be the exceptions. Right now for drone warfare the software is too difficult to write (hard to believe. Hooking up opencv face recognizer to a robot that can aim a rifle is not hard). Tha

You make it sound like I'm making an even remotely controversial claim. Billions (in fact, all 7 of them, easily) eat meat and most live healthy lives eating it. All cultures, all ethnicities, all genders, all everything. You're t

I think you're confusing multiple things here. Guantanamo is not the same category as police torture in Germany by police forces. Guantanamo would be comparable to German soldiers guarding a prison in Afghanistan and arresting people t
