I'm not arguing with @bbx, I'm replying to your assumption that when @eloisant wrote "email client" he meant "native app email client" ;) I was trying to express my belief that neither @bbx nor @eloisant were

Let me propose to you a similar claim, presented from a different angle: you are not automatically entitled to any revenue for something you created and published on the Internet. Even though you slapped ads on your site, that doesn't

Remind me again why an e-mail client has to be a native app? Is there anything special that makes an e-mail client different from a, say, IRC client, which could be, for example, a browser extension such as Chatzilla?

I tell people that the worst case scenario is that they use a week of vacation, but because of the extra pay they can take a nicer vacation later on. Maybe I'm a paranoid pessimist, but it seems to me that the worst case is that thei

So flag it. Oh, that's right, you can't -- because you created a throw-away account to post a bunch of comments on this thread, telling other people what they should or shouldn't post.

Damn, isn't it frustrating to see how people are free to compete? Even worse, they're allowed to give away their competing products for free! The gall! Seriously, though, you do know that there's no such thing as a free lunch

Let's be honest: how many Thiels per Musk do we get? Somehow I fail to see the beauty in this alleged springboard.

Can you elaborate on that a little bit?

It's pretty well-known that bouncing around from job to job turns pretty much every employer off. I beg to differ. That might have been the case before, but nowadays this kind of "mobility" is almost expected.

Ask yourself a few analogous questions: - How can you vote for or otherwise support a politician if you don't agree 100% on everything with that politician? - If your friend enjoys the same music that you do, but not the same food, w

Why, no, I don't really need to get an SSN, but thank you for asking! I guess it's not really essential to me and my family... [1] Seriously, though, why are people popping up like mushrooms saying how it would be much better

There are two kinds of people in this world: Those who believe there are two kinds of people in this world and those who are smart enough to know better.

No, they aren't. I agree with @criley wholeheartedly: stop calling the US a police state. There's plenty to criticize without having to resort to blatant falsehoods.

At this point, I'm thankful that we have Free Software. Me too, which is why I'm worried about hardware. With enough effort, literally anyone can decide not to trust a binary and check the source. Unfortunately, the same cannot

That's odd, I could've sworn that he wrote -- and that you quoted him as having written -- "history of science " and also " could kinda, sorta, maybe exist ".

Why is that really sad? It's not sad that the conditions for a street food vendor are better, it's sad that the conditions for a game programmer are so bad.

Just out of morbid curiosity, if you knew he was "well respected around here", what in the world were you hoping to accomplish by insulting him in your comment?

I'm going to regret this joke, but: I posit the difference lies in how much cache you need.

I don't know much about cars or helicopters, so I have an honest question: why would the maintenance for an electric helicopter be less expensive than the maintenance for an electric car?
