Incorrect, I've gotten pings of less than 1 millisecond from over the internet.

No, the location is taken from the RWHOIS data which just happened to not list the IP's actual location.

I wouldn't say security is impossible, but it isn't worth the time and effort some companies put into it.

For example, Apple could stop putting 30 pin connectors on the iPhone, replacing it with only a power port to charge the device, then sandbox the rest of their apps on the phone (currently every jailbreak involving a vulnerability had to do with the fact that Apple doesn't sandbox their own applications like they do with third party applications.)

Of course you could argue that you could take the device apart and hook up leads to the circuitry in an attempt to flash the device, but you're going to stop over 99.9% of the jail breaking community from jail breaking their devices.

I've gotten speeds of over 1Gbps on Speedtest, although once you reach 1Gbps the image doesn't save and you don't get a link to share it.

There were 2 blogs they wanted to block specifically. They blocked those blogs IP addresses without understanding how the internet works.

There's no downside to GoDaddy for domain names, you're just jumping on the "fuck GoDaddy" bandwagon. I have dozens of domain names through GoDaddy and have never had an issue. Just set your DNS servers to something else and you never have to visit GoDaddy again.

Cant wait for iOS 6 which includes VOIP so AT&T can remove all but their unlimited calling plan with forced international package too.

All the effort developers are putting into complaining about people on iOS 5 Beta leaving negative reviews could better be spent testing and fixing their app for iOS 5.

Are you going to complain when iOS 5 goes live and your app still isn't ready because you stayed up until 2am writing that blog post rant instead of ironing out that last bug?

Even if Apple blocks iOS 5 devices from leaving reviews, you can still leave a review through iTunes.

And when iOS 5 is released Instapaper will become completely unnecessary.

That only returned my IPv6 address so I can't get my IPv4 address with that.

You display:none that particular CSS rule.

Why is it so hard for people recording screencasts to have the window fill the entire viewing area? Was it necessary to see so much of the guys background?

$0.99 for something Windows supports out of the box? Hmmmm....

You can...

Ah yes and then when one tab crashes you lose all 100 tabs. Brilliant!

https was there from day 1. They're just using CloudFront so you would have to use the CloudFront url instead of the pretty one (which doesn't matter because visitors would never see it).

No, it's possible.

Theoretically you can work to make money, but what if nobody's hiring?

Seriously, was that your best argument?

Supply and demand. Right now there is a demand for BTC which means people can supply them for a cost.

How about you just don't go to websites that use this? That's like me saying I hate Level 3 and I never want my web traffic to go through them, is there a way I can make sure my data packets never peer with a Level 3 connection?

You should worry more about your ISP than Google trying to make the web faster.

If they had physical access to your machine you have more things to worry about.

Why would you want to?

Or, you know, just scroll to the bottom of the page for the answer.

Or curl (url)

Or telnet to port 80

Are we really going to list every possible method?

Obviously they send a street view van by your home.

That's why it's beta.

Sort of like Chrome. Firefox has becoming nothing more than the browser that copies Chrome from this point on. Its market share is already starting to slip away and it won't be long now before Firefox is the next Netscape Navigator.

Then don't use it. As someone who has never had much experience dealing with Nginx I found this article to be very informative. Most people are smart enough not make public their third party apis. Those who aren't will quickly learn of the problems this may have. However, there are some cases where this could be extremely useful, such as an intranet.

Just in case anyone forgot, Steve Jobs once said:

"We have always been shameless of stealing great ideas"

Windows also has support for symbolic and hard links, as well as directory junctions. The only thing I got out of this article is that Macs are unreliable and fail often.
