I thought that was the whole point of what was being said; that things like metrics (what on the page gets clicked on) are getting blocked. Bear in mind, I'm not just talking about what pages get loaded. There's more to "clic

If I build a web site, and it is my preference to know what pages get clicks on what elements (presumably, so I can make my site better)... whose preference gets priority; mine or my users? It's not as black and white as your question

There's been a fair amount of discussion on this thread, which left me wanting to clarify my comments... It is entirely possible to have a MPA application that makes calls to the back end to retrieve more data. Especially for things li

SNOBOL was the first language I learned with pattern matching. It was, at least to my memory, pretty much the main interesting feature of the language.

I learned SNOBOL in college, back in the early 90s. Admittedly, it was a course about computer languages in general, not SNOBOL in particular.

Is addition defined _by_ set theory, or is set theory one way of defining addition? If it's the later, then there could be other ways of defining addition that don't have the same results for infinity (because our math system does

I've never knocked a computer off the edge of a table because it was left with part of it extending beyond the edge. But leaving it like that does make increase the risk of that happening. The same idea is true of picking it up by the

For a lot of people the filing fee plus the cost of an entire day off work (for court) is pretty steep. Honestly, for anything expensive, I tend to use Amazon as part of the "greater source of reviews", but I order it as close to

Tcl is pretty amazing, in my opinion. I have used it since 1995-ish and have always enjoyed it. I worked on code in AOLServer for a while, and it was a pretty powerful tool for dynamic page generation.

The bulbs not being suited to certain uses doesn't make them bad bulbs, it makes them more limited. There are bulbs that are good for external use and ones that are not; but that doesn't make the external ones "better",

Others have commented, but to reiterate - Older LEDs house bulbs were much worse than newer ones; far more prone to failure from "things". I had many of them fail after only a few months because our power was "flickery"

There is no such thing as a natural right, other than the fact that the strong are able to enforce their will on the weak. Everything else is just things we, as a society, believe are important for everyone to have. And we generally band to
