Also--it's an advertisement. Can't we promote egalitarianism without trying to criminalize male sexuality? Nobody would have complained if it was a male model doing the exact same commercial.

Who do you use? I'd like to switch.

Correct. I found if you have an A * record to an ip you control, and a plain X.TLD record it covers everything.
This policy is infuriating to say the least. I have sent them several emails about it and gotten various, "we don't care," responses. It's very hard for me to describe how enraged I was when I found out, even after finding a solution on my own.
If I could find a registrar that didn't treat me like crap I would switch instantly.

I got an app for time tracking and I track everything. Eating, watching videos, browsing, sleeping, and the occasional working. It's awesome because when I looked back at the pie chart for the day and see three quarters of it is sleeping and browsing, I felt like a complete doofus.
(I use aTimeLogger, it's free and does everything I need)

This sounds like a fantastic idea.

Maybe it's my own biased opinion, but I am referring to the large bankroll you need to prove to INS that you will not become a ward of the state for Chinese, whereas I have heard Europeans and Canadians can come as the please.

> why you should pay me money to access information that you could research yourself
I've been consistently satisfied with my researching skills. It's nice that you've collected a lot of stuff, but I don't really need you to do that for me. What I need is someone that understands why I personally have problems making presentations and what I can do to fix them. Then I need her to coach me or review my videos.
(Hypothetical customer me, that is. Real me just got home from teaching.)
You should address how you intend to teach people to present, or otherwise display that you have some understanding of where their problems are. I also second the notion that you are going to want a video in your promotional materials.

But unfortunately increasingly less so from the poorer countries. As if clever only comes from Western Europe and Canada.

Unless I am misremembering, decriminalizing drugs in Portugal led to less people using them. Going from this, criminalizing libraries might be the best thing that could ever happen to education.

I've seen this comment every time a discussion about open source, and I think it is incredibly stupid to justify his complaints like this.
What does he have to complain about? That they followed his terms of use? I can complain about people using my stuff in the way I tell them to also, but that doesn't put me in the right.

If you are the sort of person who wants attribution, there are licenses for that. If you license your stuff in a way that does not require attribution, don't complain when people don't. It is as simple as that.

While I enjoyed the article, I resent the misleading title. It should be "46 Tips For..." or something. It was certainly not 46 Ways.

Do you have personal experience in doing information products? I'm really curious about pricing and sales for that kind of thing if you're willing to share.
humblest_ever | 15 years ago | on: Nobody really gives a damn what you built your site in (why I chose asp.net).
yeah, what a misleading title.
"nobody cares what language you use." "potential buyers like asp."
