We no longer own a domain that we previously legitimately owned. I won’t mention the complainant's name, however, you gotta respect their (lawful evil?) tactics. Taking a previously open-source product manufactured by (the awesome) SparkFun Electronics, “un-open-sourcing” the product, and moving the manufacturing away from the USA to China. When SparkFun ceased manufacturing the product, the result was that schools i…

Makey Makey for anyone to lazy to Google

Seems like a nice product line. Now because I would never buy from a shitty company like them, where else could i look for stuff like this?

> Can you imagine how many people type nissan.com into their browser? I bet it’s not that many. When’s the last time you entered a URL in the address bar directly for a website you’d never been to? I don’t even trust myself to not have an accidental typo so if it’s not a bookmark or copy/paste from an external source, it goes through a search engine.

I think people do it more than you'd guess; especially the case where they have been to the correct Nissan site recently, didn't notice the URL, and then are navigating back quickly. I have done that within the last few years: I was attempting to install Steam on a new machine, and forgot the address is actually "store.steampowered.com".

My experience/observation has been the opposite. Most users don't even know there is a "location bar" they can put URLs into. The search box/bar is all there is, they will enter a company name and click on the first search result in preference to entering any URL no matter how simple, they don't even know they can enter a URL in a different way than executing a google search for it.

Even random is better than divine right, I think. Having an aristocratic title that passes down is much worse than some rich dude leaving money because that lasts hundreds of years. And gets taxed.

I also disagree with hereditary titles. But in a practical sense, I also don't think the next generation of Bezo's are going to be anything but obscenely wealthy. And the generation after that. And after that. While the hereditary title was a bad idea, they also had turnover too. So I think it is much of a muchness.

Yes, Bezos’ kids will be wealthy and even in 500 years they will be wealthy (look at J&J, Rockefeller, Canegie, etc) but that’s still better than the earldoms and such in the UK where there’s still massive chunks of land centuries later controlled only because of birth. Turnover was based on royal decree, not bankruptcy/ legal transfer/etc

So not saying trillionaires are perfect, just that they have fewer flaws than aristocracy.

what's your point?

It's an amusing reflection on both Nissan and Uzi's sticking to their positions.

when did they start this promotion?

Mate, it's clearly not directly related and I suggest you don't read too much in to my comment. It's just a bit of fun.

Thats fine... But it would be really screwed up if it was related at all
