Norway here, it's super popular. The only place in my entire life that I was not using a credit card regularly at was the local flea market, but last time I went there they even had one of those portable credit card things. Otherwise,

So Safari doesn't hold the web back like IE6, because the ways it's hold the web back doesn't count because you don't want those features. Not buying it.

I recently switched from Chrome to Firefox, and might have fallen for it since I'm not used to the address bar. Heck, sometimes browsers come with an update that changes it's appearance.

Yeah, Chrome's fee seems more like a gate-keeping cost to ensure that the store doesn't get spammed or abused, not an attempt of Google by generate revenue.

Yeah, it seems like treating eval() as acceptable would allow for many other less elaborate nasty things. I mean, couldn't you just do eval('edoc dab'.split().reverse().join())?

Perhaps it would work the other way around? The prosecutor has to positively prove that when you established that link, it was pointing directly at illegal content (and based on the context of your linking, that you knew it was illegal).

The way I see it, the machines we build and the AI we create are extensions of "human". While it's popular to pitch man vs machine as if they were two polar opposites, machine was build by human minds, using human designs, wi

That's ridiculous. Sure, somebody who doesn't have an iPhone and yet wants to develop apps for the iPhone is likely to treat iOS as a second class citizen. But you are saying that if somebody bought the iPhone on launch date, and
