Re: What Losing TechCrunch Disrupt Meant to CloudFlare: OMFG

Adam Nason — Fri, 25 Feb 2011 12:21:00 -0000

As a publisher, I can verify that Cloudflare works wonderfully when things are good but things have been going bad this week. I hope the team finds a way to lock down security/performance on their end soon because it's not worth it to save 8% of resources when your site goes down for 15 mins. a day. I'm moving things to MaxCDN until things settle down but hope to come back in the future. Best of luck to the team.

Re: Social Media Users Rally Behind Vermont Brewery vs Monster Energy Drink

If there is no beer category then why does it say Goods & Services: Beer on Rock Art's trademark application? Clearly the company or the agency reviewing the application has determined that the trademark should be filed as 'beer' to differentiate from different product types. Monster doesn't have any trademarks associated with beer.

Case closed.

re: Stephen above (why can't I reply to his reply?),

This is semantics then. http://tess2.uspto.gov/bin/...

However Hansen filed their trademarks, it is clear that it was not as an alcoholic beverage. It was clear that Rock Art filed theirs as an alcoholic beverage: "G & S: beer." That or the TESS is omitting pertinent info or misleading in how it is presenting it.

Some of you really need to get off of your high horse. Have you actually looked at the trademarks?

Monster Energy does not own a trademark in the beer category. If it feared people associating any of the 30-40 beers out there with the word, "Monster" in it, then they would've trademarked the drink in the beer category a long-ass time ago. Instead they only trademarked it in the fruit and nutritional drinks category. They are going after Rock Art because they want to "some day" enter the alcoholic bev market.

Regardless, trademark law is broken if someone has to endure PR scrutiny for protecting its mark (meaning the public at large doesn't understand the system) but this is a case where Monster has no rights in the beer category and shouldn't be issuing C&D letters to those who do.

If categories don't matter, then Hansen could sue hundreds of companies with the name "Monster" in their names or products because of possible confusion that they are endorsing those products. Everyone would be suing each other and no one would make anything anymore.

Chuck!

Glad to see you posting about craft beer on the Chicagoist.

I recently wrote up a blurb for this as well. The key to this one is that Bells and Belgian beers are virtually mutually exclusive. They discontinued their Sparking Ale which was somewhat Belgian in influence and dont have much else 'Belgian' in their catalog. So it is quite interesting to see Brewer John Mallet travel over there.

You can also find the full press release attached here.

That said, I would love to do a guest blog post here at some point! My email is easily found on the top left corner of the Beer News site.

Was this article written for Mad Magazine??

Re: Fix Validation Errors XHTML Transitional

All set! Sorry for the false alarm.

It is probable that the error occurred because I either pasted in the new code while the plug-in was active or because I didn't capture all of the new code when I initially pasted.

Line 241 on the code I pasted in was right after the "function dsqs_bloginfo_url($url) {" whereas line 241 on your code is actually "add_action('admin_footer', 'disqus_warning');. according to NoteTabLight.

Either way, I advise people to change the code only after de-activating. Maybe that goes without saying for any plug-in. I'm new at this :)

thanks again

I'm seen an error like this a couple times since upping the new code when trying to make other code changes or additions to the site.

Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /dir/disqus.php:241) in /dir/pluggable.php on line 689

It was very easy to resolve with Luke's code which literally knocked out every error I had.

Thanks again.

Hey, I just installed the Disqus comments system on my wordpress.org blog and am quite excited. Just wondering if there is a fix to the following validation errors among others? See link at bottom as I think a couple others are related to Disqus.

# Error Line 206, Column 688: document type does not allow element "noscript" here; missing one of "object", "applet", "map", "iframe", "button", "ins", "del" start-tag.

… Supplication Released"><noscript>" sign after "noscript.")

The mentioned element is not allowed to appear in the context in which you've placed it; the other mentioned elements are the only ones that are both allowed there and can contain the element mentioned. This might mean that you need a containing element, or possibly that you've forgotten to close a previous element.
One possible cause for this message is that you have attempted to put a block-level element (such as "

" or "<table>") inside an inline element (such as "", "", or "<font>").

#2

# Error Line 277, Column 849: end tag for element "a" which is not open.

…ews.org/?p=174#disqus_thread">

(The error occurs on the ">" sign at the second "")

The Validator found an end tag for the above element, but that element is not currently open. This is often caused by a leftover end tag from an element that was removed during editing, or by an implicitly closed element (if you have an error related to an element being used where it is not allowed, this is almost certainly the case). In the latter case this error will disappear as soon as you fix the original problem.

If this error occurred in a script section of your document, you should probably read this FAQ entry.
