He's not asking for anything. He's pointing out how a different data model allows for solving a different set of problems. The MVCC page on Wikipedia might give you a better background so that you're able to contrast the two models and dete

For a simple registrar that supports DNSSEC I've been quite happy with https://www.gkg.net/ . Their prices are reasonable and their site is quick and functional, though it's navigation is a bit clumsy. I can't comment on their hosting (inc

Your assessment of what constitutes "many people" and mine clearly differs. You are quite right that my clients are unaffected. I like most of the world run a mix of Windows and OS X which like the software that runs on top of them, are not

Regarding TLDs, you're again intimating that I have said something that I have not said. I do not dispute that some people are able to use DNSSEC and this does not belie my original comment.

Your reading of my post as "omg it's not deployed" is an unwarranted exaggeration. I merely stated that for me, someone who maintains a from the wire-up DNS implementation, this baby-step doesn't change anything practical — which is somethi

I'm going to continue ignoring DNSSEC until I see it affect clients in a meaningful way. Until then I think there is other things my users would prefer I spent my time on.

I can only assume that your vitriol stems from my lmgtfy post and so for that I apologise. My comment about the points was and is both sincere and practical advice and I hope you can revisit that post and my others in a less antagonistic li

My bad, I get excessively terse when I'm tired. I wasn't suggesting it out of utility but out of appreciation — nothing says thank you quite like a superfluous vanity domain. EDIT: Just noticed my other post has garnered at least one down-v

The idea of growing old and having my facilities degrade like that truly scares me.

Although the identifying info from those screenshots is scrubbed, the comments say the R-URI is basically user@ip:port. This is interesting: there's no SIP proxy in between. Unfortunately I see "Bandwidth Limit Exceeded" when I go to that

Charlie Cheever's comment "Python data structures map well to JavaScript data structures" resonates with me. I'm building something in Erlang right now and having come from Python, it's just plain grating.

Gotta wander off on a tangent here — scribd is a beautiful site! I'm probably the last one around here to find out since this is the first time I've looked at their site since they dropped Flash (which I ignored) but wow, what a difference

It figures you downvoted me. You will probably downvote this one too. So that's what concerned you. The points don't matter. Seriously, they don't mean anything and certainly shouldn't change the way you interact with people. Particularly

Questioning user interface dogma in your field can have interesting results. I'm building a DNS service at the moment and having experimented with a few user interfaces, have found the one I like the most has a single page for viewing and e

Do you have 'Receive Email from Administrators' enabled on your account? I do, which is I assume why they occasionally email offers and is also why I don't consider them spammers. I do agree with you that their content has slipped in recent

Yep — exactly. To use software parlance, if using this convention would halt or inconvenience your production, it's a smell and a likely indication you've got a spaghetti setup on your hands.

Can you expand on what you find confusing about OpenID? I ask as I like OpenID enough that at least for my services alpha, I'm only implementing OpenID.
