A move that would, no doubt, be reported in the tabloid news as "Evil prisoners given luxury top of the range tablets"

The fact that this question is being asked illustrates that the Godaddy hate in the tech community is not as strong as some would think (hope?)

You may think that you're blowing peoples' minds with that "you're the product" line - but if you're literally selling your skills then that is the whole point - it's a positive!
Re:Github powered comments on Tuesday February 12, 2013 @07:02AM (#5206269)
I would really rather just type my name in than give any random blog I want to comment on permission to "Update your public repositories (Commits, Issues, etc)."

I won't be holding my breath for major browsers to remove support for JS click events!
I have something currently on it's way to me via Interlink (UK). They sent me an SMS message yesterday to confirm the date, with options to reply via SMS to change it (reply 1 for tomorrow, 2 for the day after, 3 for the day after that etc). This morning I had another SMS message and an email to confirm the driver's name and a one hour window for delivery. That solves number 5.

Re:The Great Lie - Lorem Ipsum on Monday September 19, 2011 @09:19AM (#3013408)
We've tried sending design mockups to clients with the copy already inserted instead of Lorem Ipsum for this exact reason. It usually tends to lead to disappointment when the browser renders their copy slightly differently to Photoshop
Re:When is a URL shortener not a URL shortener? on Tuesday August 16, 2011 @06:30AM (#2890630)

The Sun to "print sensationalist stories"
It makes the people who have data included in the leak care that bit more, and makes hit hit that bit closer to home?
