I don't know if it still works, but Google used to support network providers force non-ssl searches using DNS poisoning. BT's WiFi offering used to do this, which is one of the reasons I stopped using it.
The problems you had when trying to switch to git are the exact same problems I have as a git fangirl when trying to use svn. To a large extent the choice of version control system comes down to what you feel happiest with, but there are certain workflows which suit one or the other slightly better.
If you're making heavy use of svn externals then you'll find git submodules pretty horrible. But if your aim is to manage files between multiple users then git's distributed nature may make your life much easier if you give it some more time.
When leaving my grandparents' house for a long journey home, everybody was always instructed to give three rings when they get home safely. To this day I always let a phone ring three times before answering, partly in case it's an "I'm OK" message and partly because waiting for somebody to answer gives the caller time to think what they actually want to say.
My grandparents didn't have caller ID and so had no idea who was telling them they'd got home safely, but they could guess based on timings pretty well.
This also gives rsync, scp and all the other benefits of commandline ssh. Mintty was enough for me to be able to put off installing Debian for another month.
Don't worry about it, if a user doesn't know what Tweets or direct messages are then the service isn't for them. You'll struggle to get people to start using Twitter just to register domains when there's plenty of good registrars already, most people will have their favourite they use regularly.
I see this more as a service for power Twitter users so they can easily register new domains after having a drunken idea.
This app-in-a-day side project took slightly longer than it should have due to Heroku's recent problems with Amazon. Built with Padrino, Heroku and a Theme Forest theme, it went from idea to launch in just two days of work.
I believe this incident probably is the reason for the drop in price, along with the incident at Bitomat just before. It's just people reacting to vulnerabilities in the market though, so far there has been no evidence to suggest any of these bitcoins have been sold. If they were to be sold off in bulk then it would cause a much larger crash.
On some badly configured Nginx servers the filename extension isn't parsed correctly. A php.jpg file will be executed as php because a badly written regex will match the .php.
Even if you don't have such vulnerabilities you probably don't want people to be able to upload images to your server. They could easily send you over quota on shared hosting and use your bandwidth for serving their own images (including child porn).
One hopes he is smart enough to have a solid legal argument for what he has done. If he loses the legal battle then it's going to set a bad precedent for all these academic document stores to continue keeping hold of this information. On the other hand, if he were to win then it may make it harder for groups like JSTOR to continue restricting access to their data.
I don't see why not, it's not like the site is requesting permission to do anything with your Twitter account - they just use it to count unique users as far as can tell.
Mind you, that also means there's no good reason to require a Twitter account. Sure there's the excuse of authenticating to the chat system, but this doesn't really need chat in order to work.
