| What would you do with a Class C IP block? Posted: 22 Aug 2009 02:22 PM PDT A reader writes, Back in the day before ARIN, I obtained a class C license (255 IP numbers) for a network of servers running in my garage.

| Fundable rips off Hugo-nominated writer Mary Robinette Kowal Posted: 23 Aug 2009 02:53 AM PDT Mary Robinette Kowal sez, "Last January, I tried using fundable.com to raise money to replace my computer. At the time, their rating online looked good and I didn't see anything to suggest they were a scam. They'd been covered by BBC and Marketplace, so seemed legit. Seven months and $1450 later, I'm ready to say that yes, yes they are a scam." I've since challenged them for my paypal payment and got that money back. But My dad still hasn't gotten back the $700 he pledged and other people are waiting for theirs. I think they are still holding some $1410. It pisses me off no end. Oh, and yes, Rob and I wound up going into a bit of debt because I'd ordered the computer when the fundraiser completed. Funny thing, I started the fundraiser because we couldn't afford a new computer on our own.My very bad experience with Fundable.com (Thanks, Mary!) Update: The negative attention from Mary's post and the followups elsewhere have attracted Fundable's attention and they promise to fix things. Finally. |

| BudgetTravel's "World's Weirdest Hotels" Posted: 22 Aug 2009 06:49 AM PDT   BudgetTravel has a slide show of what they've deemed the "World's Weirdest Hotels." No Madonna Inn, but more interesting to me than theme rooms anyway are places where the entire hotel structure is an oddity. Top, the Hotel Costa Verde near Quepos, Costa Rica. Left, at the Capsule Hotel in Den Haag, Netherlands, you can sleep in an escape pod from a 1970s oil rig."World's Weirdest Hotels, Part Deux" Previously: |
