It takes a lot to light marble and granite on fire.
not that much, just a big spaceship with a really big particle cannon.
also, must not forget the flying sharks... lots of flying sharks to chase down any of the escaping congressional critters.

I am proud to announce that the Wikipedia domain names will move away from GoDaddy. Their position on #sopa is unacceptable to us.
Let's see if wikipedia continues the move or not after this 180 turn
typo: one in Bahamas and one in Panama
Did you mention they do not have a telephone?
well, since they are an accredited ICANN registrar they do have phones listed with ICANN and Verisign as well as contact email addresses and a postal address. They also have a postal address is in Florida and one in Bahamas in Panama. (not sure if any of them are currently valid though, google maps shows the Florida address to be some sort of rented storage area)
Just search for them on ICANN's site and follow the whois data trail on verisign's site (hint: search by registrar).
P.S. #2
i got in touch with their tech support [Ticket#1047262] and they promised to fix this small security issue that appears after registration but before the first ever actual login by a new user.
The registration process itself is secure but right after the registration if you click their company logo and try to manage your profile you get sent to the unencrypted page that shows the data you filled in during the registration (except the pw)
To avoid this issue the first thing you should do after registration is to click the LOG OUT link (or clear the cookies for their site) and then login back in, you will then get the form with the "always use ssl" checkbox.
P.S.
it does this on new account registrations (sending all profile data unencrypted) but after i logout and when i try to log back in i am presented with a checkbox to enable ssl for all requests.
first time users don't get that checkbox though, all their data is sent via plaintext on registration
http://internet.bs/ has great deals on domains and it's located in the Bahamas.
Did I mention they have an API?
yea right.. ever looked at the protocol used by default on the profile administration page?
i just tried it and it defaults to http, no https. All your profile data on internetbs is sent over the wire in plain text, including the security question and all the rest.
Even though their servers seems to support it, once you click on a link on a secured page on their site you're automatically directed to the plaintext http access pages.
At the end of last week, the Council of the European Union – which is where national ministers from each EU country meet to adopt laws and coordinate policies – had a meeting. A group of some 40 ministers for agriculture and fisheries signed off on a range of important matters, including:
Total allowable catches (TACs) and quotas for 2012Actually, there was another item, but from its penultimate position on the agenda it was clearly not really regarded as very important, and was just waved through. Here's how the official press release (pdf) reported it:
Fishing opportunities for 2012 in the Black Sea
Authorisation of four genetically modified varieties
Aid for processed citrus fruit
Welfare of animals during transport
Vaccination against bluetongue
Excess CO2 emissions from new cars
Temporary reception of certain Palestinians
The Council adopted a decision authorising the signing of an anti-counterfeiting trade agreement (ACTA) with Australia, Canada, Japan, the Republic of Korea, Mexico, Morocco, New Zealand, Singapore, Switzerland and the United States.So, continuing the tradition of denying European citizens any opportunity to offer their views on ACTA, the Council of national ministers employed the shabby trick of pushing the treaty through by adopting it without debate at a meeting whose main business had nothing to do with international trade.
ACTA is aimed at establishing an international framework to improve the enforcement of intellectual property right laws and create improved international standards for actions against large-scale infringements of intellectual property. Negotiations were concluded in November 2010.
Interestingly, this is not the first time European politicians have used this subterfuge. In 2002 the European Commission presented a proposal that would allow software patents in Europe (currently, the European Patent Convention forbids patenting programs for computers "as such").
This saga was still going on in 2005 when the software patent proposal was added to the agenda of a fisheries meeting – just like ACTA. On that occasion, the ploy failed, but the Council Presidency went on to adopt the agreement in violation of the procedural rules. The proposal was then passed to the European Parliament, where it was definitively rejected.
Similarly, ACTA will now be passed to the European Parliament for a vote. Although there have been no indications that it will be thrown out there, the same was true of the software patents session, which was expected to approve the measure. One thing is for sure: there is going to be plenty of lobbying for and against ACTA between now and whenever that final vote takes place.

Orbit? that thing no longer has a stable orbit... at least for a while it won't have, until it stabilizes.
have you seen those two movies? its exit is like an out-of-control fire hose with afterburners.
One for me, one for you. One, two for me, two for you. One, two, three for me, three for you...
i think that's might be the official RIAA/MPAA accounting method.
an US judge just ruled that having a
Facebook argued in its filings that Faceporn targets a United States audience by using a ".com" address, and by virtue of the fact that Faceporn is an interactive website with 250 users in California and 1000 users in the United States. The court says that these allegations alone are not sufficient to satisfy the standard for personal jurisdiction.
Only through hard work and perseverance can one truly suffer.
