    They are a fantastic way to honor people who have made a large contribution to society.

    Free speech has many exceptions. So no, you shouldn't be able to link to anything you want to. Just like free speech, there are many exceptions about what you can link to which are…

    I agree that GoDaddy should be given a break. Not because I like them, but because I hate internet mob bullying in general. They've been kicked to the ground by the baying mob, and…

    FWIW I've used them for SSL certs. I've had to call support a couple of times, and both times their support was outstanding... I mean surprisingly ridiculously good.

    There's tons of other time for that, when you can't read etc. eg when you're driving.

    The other lesson I'd add is that if an instance dies and can't be rebooted, you'll need to stop/start it, which will result in an IP address change. Best to have elastic IPs at the…

    How about when your kid/elderly relative does a search on google and sees it? Google can choose to allow or disallow what they want.

    There are only 3 things, which aren't surprising to anyone who has done much js. 1). a list of expressions eg (foo,bar,baz) evaluates to the last one. 2). Array(4) creates an empty…

    I don't think killing an elephant away from any village or crops proves that the elephant isn't a nuisance for that village, or that it routinely destroys the crops.

    There's a thing called due process. There's law.

    So fix the bit that's broken - the government. Companies are just playing by the rules.

    You're also posting endless articles (Not you personally ;) ), trying to poke everyone else into doing the same.

    I'm in no way affiliated or connected to GoDaddy. I don't have any domains registered with them. I dislike internet hate mobs, which as you say are designed to "teach them a lesson…

    He killed the elephant because it was destroying the communities crops, and the community got fed well from the meat. I don't think it's quite as one sided as you propose.

    They're cheap, they work, they're not going to go out of business.... Couldn't care less if their CEO likes hunting, or if they help the US government with its internet censorship …

    Yes. Regardless, protests like this never achieve anything apart from wasting peoples time. If you don't like GoDaddy, or disagree with some of their policies, don't use them. It's…

    For example, they'd make anyone possessing, downloading, reading, printing etc any of these emails a 'terrorist' and imprison them indefinitely.

    No. But I think people should make up their own minds. The process of whipping up an internet hate mob with the aim of destroying / etc is one of the parts of the internet I detest…

    It's surprising if you haven't used javascript before I guess.

    And, it's the reason governments will clamp down and regulate the internet more and more. This is why we can't have nice things.

    Clever, but not as surprising... (null,'cool',false,NaN,4) evaluates to the last expression - 4 Array(4) creates an array with 4 elements. Array(4).toString() = ",,,"

    All installable/downloadable software also shares code. It just happens to be machine code, which adds a little hurdle, just like a good javascript minifier does.
