Leaving highly classified and for whom kinda questions aside, I must say it's the software that the good guys SWIFT (http://swift.com) use to run the global financial network.

The SWIFT Network has no real alternatives and entire countries teeter towards bankruptcies when they're banned from using it.

The last time the US banned Iran, Iran reportedly lost $100M; everyday!

There are fair-use exemptions, but when it comes to computer software, these exemptions suddenly become zero. Making a disclosure and proving a security/privacy flaw becomes extremely difficult.

The Indian government is being utterly stupid. This is tantamount to saying: "Terrorists breathe Oxygen? Neat! Ban Oxygen."

Slicing, dicing and reporting on data available in the public domain is NOT helping criminals. It doesn't matter how the data got there. Of course, as a victim it isn't being fair to Sony - but it is certainly not helping criminals.

All hail e-residency, the newest oxymoron of our times.

Thanks. Changed title as suggested. :)

Apparently, it is OK to care about profits and not customers these days. http://www.nytimes.com/2014/12/06/opinion/joe-nocera-uber-vs...

The Ruby and Rails community has lost one of its kindest souls. Ezra has left behind a legacy everyone must aspire to.

Too little. Too late. My team and me moved from Skype to Hangouts and then to Fuze already. We're very happy with Fuze. More here: https://www.fuze.com/

You should try using Fuze. We replaced Hangouts and Skype with it. Best of all, it is free for 25 simultaneous users in a chat/video.

Yes!

Many companies sell your email address when you unsubscribe. By unsubscribing you have established two things:

1. You are not interested in their product or service (Obvious)

2. You read your mail, and it is not a throw-away box. (Non-Obvious)

Unsubscribe and your email address suddenly gets commercial value that it did not have before.

I think you need to break down SPAM this way...

SPAM = UCE + UBE.

UCE = Unsolicited Commercial Mail

UBE = Unsolicited Bulk Mail

What's common? Unsolicited.

Their homepage is http://powerdns.net/, *not* http://powerdns.com/; and yes they are incorporated as TriLab. Like I said, they're (PowerDNS application & TriLab) hosted on their own their own infrastructure, which is currently hosed.

So basically, PowerDNS.COM BV is doing a public service to TriLab BV by putting up a notice. And of course, one is bound to lose politesse when held responsible for stuff one hasn't done or isn't responsible for.

And, no I am not with Trilab and I have nothing to do with their service besides being a harrowed *paying* customer.

OK. I dig. Where's the source?

If the question has landed here, then it is definitely, most certainly a resounding "No!" I guess.

Yeah. Bang on. That is how it is. Climb the ladder and then throw it away so that others can't get to where you are.

That fact of the matter is that every economy goes through this cycle (of growing up). Child labor, poor health-care, now pollution and soon patents.

While not being pertinent to this discussion, the country with the greatest patent lobbying bodies is also the country that committed the greatest IPR violations. More here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jQZJ5Jl41nk

If facebook does whatever you are proposing, don't you think you'll be blown out of the water?

Hmmm... Thanks. That clears it :o).

But at the same time, I have rarely seen players who charge (and some of them quite a lot) advertise or talk about their anycast capabilities.

I have had many horror stories with Airtel. I blogged about one here: http://hatwar.org/epilogue/2010/06/why-buying-an-iphone-in-i...

Soon, I had to stop paying my bills because they couldn't resolve my issues and kept logging the tickets as solved. But they didn't want to end it there...

They leaked my call details to their recovery agents - and soon my friends and customers were getting calls asking about my whereabouts, while I was always accessible via email. Total breach of trust and privacy.

They prefer to speak rather than write because what is spoken on the phone can't become evidence while mails can. Besides, India doesn't have a semblance of tort law.

India's largest and the world's third-largest telecom company runs on marketing. That is all they do. They do not own or operate their network. It is outsourced, just like their stores. Don't touch Airtel with a barge pole.
