For a start, how do you know that the reason for the low usage isn't that they are broken in IE? You could be turning customers away.

A move that would, no doubt, be reported in the tabloid news as "Evil prisoners given luxury top of the range tablets"

Since when is a cheap e-book reader a top of the range tablet.

It's like calling a radio a high tech electronic device.

But i get where your coming from journalists like to blow everything out of proportion.

There's a great article about prison radios and MP3 players, and a particular model of Sony FM receiver that is like 30 years old but incredibly popular in prisons due to battery life or something... Gotta track that down.

This was discussed earlier this year on HN.

Devices need to be approved for prison use. 3G but no autoupgrades, or appstore but no external communication, sometimes the cover must be transparent. Probably no competition in that sector, therefore they can charge whatever they decide.

Hence it's not "cheap e-book reader, top of the range tablet", but "expensive e-book device, bottom of the range reader", if you follow me.

The fact that this question is being asked illustrates that the Godaddy hate in the tech community is not as strong as some would think (hope?)

As the person who asked: I do in house database programming, so while I am aware of GoDaddy (they are the biggest registrar, no?), I wouldn't know what to expect differently from one registrar over another, as I don't use them. I registered a domain for my Mum's business over ten years ago, but haven't used a registrar since.

You may think that you're blowing peoples' minds with that "you're the product" line - but if you're literally selling your skills then that is the whole point - it's a positive!

I would really rather just type my name in than give any random blog I want to comment on permission to "Update your public repositories (Commits, Issues, etc)."

It requires that role to make new issue comments on your behalf, no way around it.

That's more than a bit of a deal breaker. Can't believe how many people have just handed him the keys to their Github account. It's the ultimate hacker honey pot!

It's the same info you'd give Dabblet or CodePen.

Well I wouldn't give it to them either.

Seriously, you would give a 3rd party full commit access to all your repos? That's crazy talk.

Yeah, can't you define what permissions you use, similar to how google oauth operates?

With github, shouldn't: - Read your public information.

Be enough - it's no more than anyone else can find out about you!

It was exactly this attitude in Firefox's early days that put off a lot of non technical (or "non enlightened", to use the phrase that was popular at the time) users.

I won't be holding my breath for major browsers to remove support for JS click events!

Probably not, but if a regular link has an onClick event, they might show a big red warning message in the status bar in place of the URL.

This one?

I have something currently on it's way to me via Interlink (UK). They sent me an SMS message yesterday to confirm the date, with options to reply via SMS to change it (reply 1 for tomorrow, 2 for the day after, 3 for the day after that etc). This morning I had another SMS message and an email to confirm the driver's name and a one hour window for delivery. That solves number 5.
