IMHO, this sounds like you're jealous that your friends A and C have a way of communicating (and keeping apprised of each others' situations better than you're able) that bypasses you. It's your choice to remain uninvolved (and I actually respect that quite a lot), but you can't reasonably be annoyed that others who are involved in it bypass you.

My is a Swedish name, not a Finnish one, as Monty is a Swedish-speaking Finn. It's pronounced similar to "Myeuh", so "Myeuh Ess Kuh Ell".

Huh. Thanks for doing this. As a MySQL employee in the early days I used BitKeeper and fell in love with it and kept using it as long as I could. I mainly use Git these days, but frequently miss BitKeeper -- BK felt a lot more natural to me than Git ever has.

"Inslee said the state is working to locate offenders released early who need to complete their sentences. Five have been returned to prison, according to Brown."

What can this possibly accomplish? Presumably these people were released, probably had no idea they were released early, and now have potentially settled into their life again. Returning them to prison can only do more harm than letting it go, and seems more spite than justice.

That's not how it works.

com. only serves the nameserver (NS) addresses for example.com., and if they are within the same domain, their IP addresses. It does not serve the rest of the records for example.com.

You can see this easily with e.g.:

dig -t any google.com. @a.gtld-servers.net.

vs.

dig -t any google.com. @ns1.google.com.

There is no real advantage of having it be 'www' coming from DNS...

There is a somewhat more modern problem which is that having a domain be a CNAME (the DNS equivalent of a by-name redirect) means it can't also have MX records and receive mail; the CNAME also ends up "redirecting" everything, including MX lookups. So if your web host offers yourdomain.someawesomehost.com and you decide to point yourdomain.com to it via CNAME, having [email protected] doesn't work unless yourdomain.someawesomehost.com is configured to receive mail for yourdomain.com.

Eh, well, the alternative is perhaps that you buy a "new" app, install it on your device, and find that it's never updated anymore. Their current workflow allows you to get the last available version of an app you already own, which is what you want. You don't probably want to newly buy an app to find that the last version released that actually works on your device is years old.

Er, geothermal doesn't "pull cold out of the ground", it pushes heat into it.

I found this post interesting, but it was also funny because you maybe unknowingly became the guy who has traveled and thought it gave him some unique insight into the world. And you were compelled to share it unprompted with people who presumably don't care. ;)

Well, he wrote it, he marked it confidential, he is free to release it under different terms.

So just "carriage" then? :)
