You don't need to thrust them in the port that vigorously.

If you had actually tried to explain what a "template" was in words it would have helped a great deal. My assumption was that they were fixed text structures and you could fill in …

It's me. I fucking love my iPhone 6s test device form factor and a bigger, 64-bit Nexus is exactly what I was hoping for.

Employees should be paid at least what they are worth. Unfortunately, the workers responsible for the top 40% of the nation's productivity make only 10% of the money.

If writing drivers for arbitrary hardware were remotely viable I would be the happiest clam in the ocean.

I don't see why this user shouldn't be frustrated, though. It is still an OS-specific limitation, since it appears that Windows will run them in a manner acceptable to the user.

I am fairly certain the "trial expired" experience is exactly the reason. They're also trying to make a commodity out of software and having an app store half full of trial version…

This seems more fair. But it is weird, because thinking about it, isn't buying N units of work the most fair pricing scheme? I didn't have the same gut reaction to Amazon's Lambda …

I agree. And I should have the option to refuse by removing app permissions.

Just like with the Olympics. Does FIFA force the government to pass censorious laws as well?

It's pretty hypocritical to talk down like that, "it's not how you want reality to be," while at the same time asserting that the resources of wealthy Americans are used for purely…

How does the optimisation of closures translate down to the machine level in Pycket?

What a self-serving law. All it deals with is atomic data and financial institutions. How in the hell does this ever get applied to people downloading too many webpages?

I delete and give one star to any mobile app that requires a registration.

There's someone out there with a trademark on "Todo". Welcome to the United States' well-reasoned system of patents and trademarks.

Breaking news! User javert is resistant to linguistic shift! Stop the presses, because this is a humdinger of a story!

As does refusing to allow fair use of content or asserting copyright to works that one does not own! Big media is far closer to the gangsters you describe than Grooveshark was.if

Browser competition on OS X? Apple refuses. Only Safari is allowed to do the notifications. And, of course, their own shitty websites break constantly on non-Apple browsers. I deve…

I went into the article expecting to be having a laugh at publishers but I agree wholeheartedly. ABP is a yelp-style racket. uBlock all the way.

It's the US voting system! Imagine if we hadn't voted for the other guy, then the architect(s) would be back in there a third year. I saw a thought experiment once on choosing lunc…

The average company does not behave so genially. They want to see who is opening adverts. All I care about is myself getting the confirmation, if I have a problem I will contact th…

Thank you for reminding me of Graal. One of the most interesting projects I have ever seen, and I have just gotten a lot of free time to explore it.

The complaint reminded me of that article a while back decrying tax increases because the writer would probably have to fire his maid and gardener, and be forced to send his kids t…
