    My dog never saw a mirror in his life, he lived outdoors, and aside from a puddle, he would never have an opportunity to see his own reflection. One day I had a fullsize mirror out…

    Of course, no one here started off as an average or expert developer, we were all beginners writing awful code at one point in our lives. I think you need to consider two main attr…

    I think of the radio similar to television. For example, I can have any tv show and movie at my finger tips, but sometimes it's nice just to turn on the tv. There's something enjoy…

    Mozilla doesn't have a choice. Let's say Firefox has 30% of users. The argument is that sites will not use DRM, because they'll be losing revenue from 30% of their users, and there…

    Are there any good documentaries about Bill Gates, and his philanthropy work? I remember seeing TED talks, and a number of short videos and articles, but are there any more substan…

    I gave up on BuySellAds, they turned me down three times without reason. My site gets more traffic then any other sites they have in that same niche, it follows all of their rules …

    I wish I had his click-through rates. I earn about $50/day from AdSense, sending them a million impressions. POF earned $2,500 for that same number.

    Chrome for Windows is one of the most common setups for browsing the internet, so this isn't an edge case situation. That post originated in 2009, over 4.5 years ago. It's good to …

    Chrome doesn't render Google web fonts well, it's been that way for as long as I remember. It's a known issue, and it's been reported countless times. You would expect this to be h…

    If I had to give any advice, it would be to run through ideas quickly. If they're not gaining traction, or they're a struggle to grow, drop them and move on to the next idea. This …

    Terrain mode is still there, you just have to type Terrain in the search bar, and it'll switch the view. Then X out of the search to return to the normal map view. Otherwise, if yo…

    It seems like it would be relatively easy to test out. People donate blood all the time. I'm sure the effects are known of how much blood you can replace at once without causing is…

    How long would effects like this last? I mean, let's say a bunch of children donated blood for the cause, and we used it to replace the blood of a senior citizen. I don't know how …

    Then you're just applying random votes, instead of actual votes. For example, something that should be 15-2 votes, ends up being 95-82. You'll be applying a large number of votes t…

    You don't want to force people to do anything, otherwise it skews the results. Force someone to vote for 30 seconds, or to vote 10 times, and they'll just sit there tapping the fir…

    It's people trying to be polite. If someone has a great time at a restaurant, do I really want to stop and tell them about my poor experience there? If we're openly discussing rest…
