FYI: A hackerspace in Atlanta is currently in active development.

There are direct flights from ATL to Beijing and Mumbai now. That could definitely help.

How is it bizarre to have a high concentration of supply chain management software companies next to the best school in the country for ISYE?

wait.. you have the subwoofer on top of a glass shelf? that cant sound good. subs are supposed to be on the floor

Why should muxtape get to do something unethical when everyone else has to follow the rules? You're basically saying this is ok because no one knows about it. Is it ok for me to steal something from a store as long as no one catches me doing it?

Perhaps a better way of going about this would be to contact the muxtape developers directly, however like you said before, they already know about this.

Also, in this situation, the RIAA would not necessarily be doing anything unethical to shut down this site. They are hosting free music on the internet. Can you think of a more straightforward way to break copyright law?

The music industry thinks it is morally wrong to do what muxtape is doing. If you are going to share music on the internet though, I don't think it should be crippled to only work for people that can figure out how to get past the interface.

The music should be free or it shouldn't. There shouldn't be a gray area.

The faster any laws about this get resolved, the better. That's why I want this to be public.

Unicode domain names could be implemented with a one way hash function with ascii output. That would solve the length problem. Depending on the hash algorithm, collisions would be extremely rare, and i doubt many domain names are already registered that are equivalent to the output of most hashes.

I guess it would be similar in a way to tinyurl.com

This obviously would only be a good option if the hash didn't need to be reversible. And I don't really see why it would be, since the dns system itself isn't perfectly reversible.

I think Firefox 3.0 has added a feature to go in this direction. When you start typing in the address bar, it searches the titles and urls to match what you are typing instead of just the url. It's a lot easier to find pages that you visited this way.

Announcing or Broadcasting are still forms of communication. Email, IM, and IRC don't really allow you to do that. That's why I think Twitter fills a gap in communication methods. A lot of people don't like to broadcast their life. I understand that, but some people do like to let other people know what's going on.

Re: Tagging: I noticed some people have started tagging posts with # before words. I think they could implement that special character to work similarly to how the @ character works.

This could be why it shows youtube as down:

curl -I -A "" www.youtube.com

curl -I -A "" www.google.com

I suggest to whoever made that site to put a user agent string in the request.

when i do it to my server i get two "HEAD /" http requests from their ip.

There is only 1 day. Wouldn't you just separate the bottles evenly across all the mice?

this is just a repost...

That could be solved by using a suggestion from another thread. Basically you have to spend some karma to give karma out. And once you upmod one thing, it will cost more to upmod something else soon after that. This system might have to be seperate from the karma, but you could pay karma to get points in the other system. It would definitely need to be refined.

Look into a VPS. I currently use vpslink.com, but there are many to choose from.

That's the point of the voting system. The articles that the most people want will be voted to the top. Unfortunately, the minority can't stay a minority if their site gets too popular.

I think that's misleading. It will definitely be a stripped version of Windows. Maybe some adapted version of CE.

can twitter be added as a method of chatting on chatterous then? I haven't used it at all yet, so i'm not entirely sure if that even makes sense though.

I think sites like this would work better if everyone chose one and stuck with it.

You should get someone to test it that would fit in the user set.

I think you should choose based on what the function of the add-on is.

I'm not sure if your options cover this, but some add-ons would be a centralized service (Google Analytics) which you may want to consider as well.

I think it might be useful to add a tagging/category feature. I don't know if that was mentioned before or not.

It would help separate posts into categories once there are a lot of posts.

Unfortunately, eventually this system will probably turn into digg. I stopped using digg once it got too big.

noscript isn't on that list?

i personally think that site looks terrible.

The blog isn't hosted on a service that allows blocking by IP as far as I'm aware. But other than that, I agree.
