You can test all you like on a staging environment, but until you have tested your prod you can never be 100% sure. That said, I wasn't thinking of DOSing yourself and bringing your servers down. But I could definitely see a use for a servi

Not sure if this a joke or not, but when I saw the post title I thought it was going to be a service to simulate heavy load conditions to your site, which would actaully be very useful. I imagine that someone must be running something like

My feeling is that you should be able to imitate something without infringing on copyright, but not everyone agrees: http://www.dpreview.com/news/2012/01/25/Imitated_Image_Copyr...

I was really excited when Pin was first announced last year on HN, and judging from the response so were a lot of others: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4078334 But since then Braintree launched in Australia and some of Pin's "first

Perhaps the solution here is to include an "opt back in" link to that email. Actually, it would be better to change the frequency (slow them down) of your mailouts to that person with the option to request a return to the old frequency.

Being a reluctant car owner I am looking forward to this becoming a reality. I can only imagine that it is going to decimate the car industry though. p.s. I totally submitted my own blog to HN. Shameful really :-)
