Awkward and mechanical is just fine if it holds up in court and defends someone against a false accusation.

I'm going to hold off on this to find out if it actually holds up in court. I can just see the defense: "But your honor, she tapped 'yes' on an app before we had sex!"

Except of course tracking for Mozilla's monetary and advertising partners, like Google. They'll pass that off as part of their Shield Studies and insert hidden tracking plugins into the browser which will be invisible to the user

Oh, I'm sure that someone out there already does. The question is whether they're making enough money off it to do it en masse.

Or even better a new, "Please Don't Listen" standard against cell-phone conversations on busy streets!

I hesitate to ask, but as a former Greyhound traveller, am I misreading, or is this author simply suggesting that Megabus become more like Greyhound?

And they lost some browser share from me and people I knew when they dumped Presto for becoming a Google slave.

I'd only suggest voluntarily, but I think that solving the housing problem and the question of colonization in one fell swoop seems like a nice solution.

Well, then the answer is to stop voting for people willing to take lobbyist money, and for those that were already elected, make a public stink over it.

I need to read this one - and the Callahan's series.

I find writing to be much easier than drawing or painting, because I have an easier time with interpreting discrete characters and then interpreting them through a dictionary in my brain accrued over my lifetime. Why are you asking differen

Several devices I've bought in the last few years (mostly cheap ones of chinese manufacture), did not include Google Play; they mostly encouraged either Aptoide or 1Mobile Market. Heck, that's part of why I keep F-Droid on my pho

Actually, I believe there are a few economy-esque mods, and there's at least one subgame that enables randomized NPC traders.

In terms of "AAA" game design, yes. There are still a few indie developers out there who actually want to produce good games. But capitalism means they don't win - the people who get the most money do.

Kind of like Mobile Suit Gundam in that sense? Everything matches the rules established and follows logically from it?
526.
by Endy 9y ago
That might be true. Their preference for a personalized experience should not allow the establishment to impact on my privacy. It should be strongly opt-in, not "avoid and never patronize this restaurant to opt-out".

So I wasn't the only one to get a feeling that The Running Man (the movie version, specifically) was coming true when I saw a friend playing HQ.

As someone who's been in HR/Recruiting, most well-written job ads will come across as being masculine. They should lay out specific position requirements (i.e. education/credentials, experience, hard/soft skills - thoug

Not exactly in-depth reporting here, but I wouldn't expect much more of Vogue. In all honesty, I'm not surprised that restaurants you have to make reservations with want to know everything about you before you walk in - our world

Now they're also talking about stopping the L train for a year or more. And my major issue is, these people who have the time to go out and protest - and the city literally is not allowed to say, "You want this to get fixed? Eith

I don't. I literally don't care about them making money, so I can't propose any method. My problem is that they demand the monetization of the Web and crud up my PC. My solution is 'block everything but text and images

Sure it is. Find a way to lock down all user access and demand that Google and Microsoft get paid or your data gets it. Mozilla will do whatever Google says. Apple doesn't care as much, a new core tech means a new generation of iPhon

We shouldn't. All the nonsense we're trying to cram into the Web is making it harder to justify connecting to it. I long for the days when simple images and text were the norm. Nowadays, I need to have and devote constant syste

I've done several WP sites, and I'd say that how you should work to resolve this depends on what you're looking to get out of WordPress - or more specifically, what your clients are. The host also matters a lot - there are s

I do find it interesting that within the last year, two new and viable gopher browsers have been created - one for Windows and one for Android.
