    Are there any alternatives? I can't think of any companies off hand who aren't morally bankrupt in at least one regard.

    Where's the word "Indefinitely" from? It doesn't mean "as short a time as possible", or am I missing some context?

    What a very clever way to test their theory. I'm very curious to see how Microsoft explain this one. Also, why do I now want to buy things with "hiybbprqag" printed on them?

    One of the strongest memories I have regarding IBM is from the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum. I visited it on a school trip to Washington years ago, I took with me quite …

    Am I an idiot for not have a clue what this actually does after both watching the video and reading the FAQ? As far as I can tell it's hyper-local news app tailored to specific pro…

    I'm more a fan of simply walking away if I can't afford/don't want to pay the asking price.

    I was 7. I probably built something with Lego that was way cooler than a website.

    Maybe when something comes along to replace "save"? With the steadily increasing amount of software that auto-saves without you noticing, maybe soon we just wont need to "save" any…

    Sidetrack: "ramen profitable" finally, a reachable goal for my start-up.

    But, that could just mean Digg spotted somebody else was gaming their system and they stopped it.

    I'm keeping track of my hours worked, so I have a rough idea of when it'll actually have properly paid for itself. I'm not kidding myself, don't worry :)

    I disagree that it offers no value at all. If it did, nobody would pay the $1. Though that's a rubbish answer, and probably accidentally passive-aggressive. So here's a longer one:…

    I decided that to be rude rather than offensive, and it's turned into quite the talking point.

    I toyed with the idea you can only pay to get somebody else into the Club, and you can't pay if you're already in the club. Mostly just because I thought that would generate some f…

    Cheap, tiny, poorly made, a quick buck and lacking scope? I agree. I think "horrid" is a bit much though, but then I would. It was sort of an experiment for me and if it ever turns…

    I agree, $0.07 isn't stunning (it's only going to get me a half billionth of my jet), but to break even in such a short space of time I found interesting. Though could it not be co…

    As a Brit without a US Visa, probably not. But it's a fantastic idea.

    Until I started dating an American girl, I can't say I was ever in a situation where I needed to know how big America was. The US just isn't very significant to the average Europea…

    It's smaller, yes, but not by much. The USA is 9.8 million km^2 and Europe is 10.2 million km^2. Though that does include Alaska. I think the thing that took me the longest to "get…

    I'm a Brit and had a similar moment of realisation when I discovered America wasn't about the size of Spain + France. I think it was the facial expression my (American) girlfriend …

    As a Reddit Mod, this doesn't seem to counter one of the best defences against people spamming their own content: training the spam filter to hate a specific URL. This system would…

    I built some fairly clumsy code to fix this on one of the blogs I run. It loaded the buttons in the footer of the page (so you can be reading the article before all the nonsense ha…
