Even if his data doesn't fit into that 1TB, he can always delegate storage to different VPS and use a load balancer. Saying "I have infinite data" is not an excuse for not looking for alternatives.

Code with encryption isn't very useful to people who live in countries where encryption is forbidden, does that mean I shouldn't write code with encryption?

You must remember that: a) Many people don't speak English natively. b) Jurisdictions are different in every country, and sometimes in every state, the law of where you live takes precedence over what your LICENSE file says. Ex. jurisd

It really depends on the scope of your project, if you are writing a library (for example), GPL is a bad choice because you limit your audience to strictly GPL grounds (unless you really want that). Many libraries have changed their license

Usually my intention writing software is to build something useful for the people. I'm not interested in the legal mumbo-jumbo and MIT is a license which it's easier to understand for non-lawyers like me.

I'll be honest, the GPL as-is is too obtuse to the extent it fails it's own premise of "This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful". I agree with the principle that if you make improvements to the ori

I'm not against complaining, but people often forget that the web is incrementally updating, today's web is different than 2014's web, and different than 2013's web, and absolutely different than 2003's web. The fac

My intention is not to initiate a debate about which Mobile OS is better, but whether the included bloatware (which you are unable to remove and it's a common practice in Android phones) helps to worsen your experience. Many mid/l

I would say that their competitors have failed to provide a better alternative. What's the point of buying an Android phone (from the average Joe perspective) if the OS is preloaded with bloat and the experience is a sluggish phone? A

In the mobile apps world, some ad networks (ej. mopub) have a new type of ad named "Native Ad". With this type of ads you have control on how you display them, and the intended use case is to make the ad look like a part of your a

Your assumption is wrong, IE is usually the last browser I test. In my experience the rendering of Webkit and Gecko have more issues than Trident. I don't remember every edge-case I have faced since ever, but for example, the following
