    This is precisely the way a market for lemons works. Scumbags like you thinking it's ok to prey on the less knowledgeable human beings we live with.

    You're not a fan of them but you'll gladly pay them your money? Sounds like righteous hypocrisy to me. I'm not a fan of them and I've never paid them any money, neither one. They a…

    The article is wrong. It absolutely does cost money and time to test on old browsers. You need multiple computers or vms set up. You don't build websites using old computers runnin…

    As with all things it's a cost benefit analysis. It costs money to support old browsers and a lot of money doesn't come from them do do the math. I was trying to buy movie tickets …

    Aside: Costumers, er prospects rather, love my products until the end when they ask, "so... how many people work there?" As though that would indicate how likely it is that the pro…

    Why is everyone answering the question like I'm talking about the police? Is it legal for any person off the street to install a GPS tracker on someone else's car?
