you have terrible reading comprehension. The article says he paid 67.5 million in fines to settle a securities fraud lawsuit brought by the SEC. It was a civil lawsuit, so the penalty if he lost (instead of settled) would have been a fine.

I am making what I would consider educated guess on the scale of the organization and the impact of the changes. WHAT?! You're making a guess based on what? THERE WERE NO DETAILS. It's impossible for that to be an educated guess.

No, it's clear from the article that he thought the company was worse off.. but really had no details to back it up. All we know from the article is that IT was worse off. But we have no idea how the company as a whole is doing. Maybe y

First, he said the savings almost certainly less than the cost of the waste. This sounds like a guess. He gives no numbers, and doesn't appear to have quantified anything. Second, maybe IT was running so smoothly previously because it was

No need to generalize based on your work experience. There are good AND bad managers. The fact that IT gets cut does not mean the manager is bad. You work in IT, so I'm sorry I have to break this to you, but sometimes the universe does not

He never says what the company is or what it does. After IT was cut, he says it would take a week before a computer was on their desk. That sounds bad. But we have no idea what the company does, so we don't actually know if this is a proble

No, he definitely doesn't understand what quickbooks is. He says 10million loc is an indication it has gone "horribly wrong". That tells me he doesn't have the vaguest idea what the feature set of quickbooks is. I've been programming for 15

The only challenge to setting up the ultimate competitor to Sage/Quickbooks is that it's so mind numbingly dull. Yes, the dullness of the topic is why no one has bothered to enter the market and compete with the $3 billion Intuit, or the

Sierra Nevada and SpaceX have almost the same number of employees. So not sure why you think they're bloated and SpaceX isn't. Personally I'm happy NASA spread the money around. The last thing we need is the government to simply build anoth

He said it was registered through godaddy. Not that godaddy owns it. Honestly, if he really believes godaddy is tasting, there's a simple way to end the debate. Post the name of the domain so we can all see the whois. Of course he won't d

He doesn't claim that it happening here. He said: I searched for a domain, and 3 days later someone else registered it. He has no complaint here. He has no right to domains he simply searched for but refused to buy.

This has happened to me before. Millions of names being registered, and sometimes more than one person has the same idea. Which is why now days if I find a domain that I think I might use, but am not entirely sure about it, I waste the $8

Sure.. it is legitimate. But Dalton has the right to say as loudly as he can what Facebook's negotiation tactics are. And other developers have the right to stop developing on the Facebook platform because of it. It may be legitimate, but t

But returning already cached GET response to DELETE request is not. Yes, you're right.. the spec doesn't mention what should happen when the developer does something completely irrational, like returning a cached GET response to a DELETE

Then there is a PERIOD, and it says "Responses to this method are not cacheable." So caching DELETE is against the spec.

of course really good/valuable domains will always be worth a lot more than the registration fee. $25 is still basically nothing. Name one other thing important to you that you spend less than $25 PER YEAR on. Geez, right now I spend more o

I'm not a squatter either, but if the price were $50/year, I would drop about half of the 30 domains I own.

yes, they are taken. And when they come up for renewal and the price is $25 instead of $8.. the owner will have to decide if it's worth it or not.

I agree with you.. but, then shouldn't we be asking ICANN to raise the registration fees? Because right now, registration fees are so low that squatters can register thousands of names, and then demand a few thousand dollars if you won't on

You want to feel unhappy or inferior? Just go to HN and find somebody who talks of stuff you don't understand (like cryptography). I'm guessing you're pretty young. Here's a tip: If someone knows something you don't, it's not a reflection
