   I think the definition of Framework needs to be defined. Everyone seems to think that packaging up a bunch of tools is a framework. I would contest that that is wrong. A framework has certain policies and flows that must be followed to all

   While using a framework limits you to that framework. I know this isn't a huge setback, but there are times when it is intolerable, ie. framework forces design patterns that you are not using. But that also works both ways. Sometime

   One way to look at this is that frameworks are like a mechanics shop, or a carpentry shop. They have their own work flow, their own set of tools, etc etc... jQuery and small code snippets are the tools. The hammer, the wrench. When buil

   Frameworks are different from a set of tools that allow you to accomplish a task. Picking up bits and pieces from old code isn't a framework. Its a specific tool. Think of Backbone or Ember or Angular as a mechanic shop. Things work

   Ethical and evil are two different words with two different meanings. And, if I can make the same thing you can for cheaper, then why shouldn't I? Your problem is that you value "ingenuity" as something that can be stolen or

   I know Google is, because they have open sourced it for so long, competitors have taken and used it... Now they are trying to reap some rewards. But it won't matter since it has been open sourced the way it has... How many different

   You may think that Google and Samsung are worse because of FRAND, but the fact is that Apple by its very nature is more dangerous because of their closed system. If Google wins a patent, with it's open source AOSP, then guess what, an

    This just shows how bad the state of the US Patent Industry is, were instead of making a better product, it's easier to hamstring a competing company. If the patent is upheld, and Apple, having the hate it does for Android tries and ba

    Honestly, it seems to me that the author is upset when a 10 billion dollar company just gave a big F you to the design community, and this is a little hissy fit. Look at all the news it generated, look at all the people talking about it. C

    I see... that makes sense... I will have to check with some of my user base and see how they feel about this

    The problem is you would lose the ability for users to post this way. Seems strange to cut out a percentage (albeit probably very small) of users to stop spam

    I was thinking about this, but the form submission could honestly take less than a second by a person since all you have to do is type a comment. (Thinking of someone posting 'lol') to code. I have had users complain when they c

    User's hating the captcha has been my biggest fear with this. I will definitely look into the hidden email field as well. That seems more user friendly. Do you hide the element with css or some other way?

    Thanks for the feedback! I will work on increasing the visibility of the URLs. And yes, I got tired of how imgur and other sites worked and so I created this. Edit: The domain is meant to be said "Free" "I" "H"

    So if it is not a good idea, what is another option to use my domain for an email address? And you are saying Courier is better than Dovecot?
