Re: Can I buy a TLD? (Scripting News)

Yes, the price to get them to turn on the GTLD for you is the pain, at least 2-3 hundred thousand dollars. :)
That's a lot of money to me.

I thought there was a low limit to how many devices are allowed to connect to the apple airports and extremes.

Re: How to for Time Machine? (Scripting News)

So how is it finding more data than you actually have to backup?
I'm trying to backup my machine with Time Machine, and I only have a 160GB drive, and it says it needs over 200GB.

I was gonna write about my setup at some point, but I'm lazy and here is a teaser.
I am not using any hardware for the server. Just running a Virtual Private Server instance using Gentoo. I have a Linksys PAP2 on my home network, for converting 2 regular phone devices, fax machine, cordless phone, so they speak SIP to my Asterisk.

Hey Dave, I read your blog via it's feed using Google Reader. I noticed today, whenever you post http:// style links they only show up proper with the a href tags when viewed on your blog. Any reason for this difference?

Re: A new reason to hate Comcast (Scripting News)

The government needs to force open access to all the networks, glass fiber, FTTH, HFC, cable, telephone, etc, for cost, so that competition can grow. Competition is good.

Also making them function as a utility is vital, with proper checks and balances.

It would really be nice if Pownce had RSS feeds of friends or people you follow like Twitter.

I hate the idea, but it kinda makes some sense, use pins for paid users?

It doesn't expose your phone number through the mp3 download URL either, which is nice.
I wonder if these files expire after a certain time period and is there a time limit to your call?

Re: Debating health care in 2008, day 2 (Scripting News)

playerx — Sat, 09 Feb 2008 21:00:46 -0000

What about the injured workers? I personally have been getting the shaft from a certain California insurance company for almost 6.5 years, with some permanent relief finally coming from a long over due neck surgery I had in December 2007. It shouldn't take years to get relief from pain all the while not being able to work or pay to have actual health insurance. I guess I'm glad the sickest I've gotten was some kidney stones several years ago. They cost me about $1500 when all was said and done, but good thing doctors and hospitals accept credit cards otherwise I would have had an issue paying the mortgage that month on my condo which I eventually had to sell later that year due to lack of money.
Perhaps the Workers' Compensation industry is just another pieced of the flawed system we have for health care in the United States.
