Where and when I grew up, Saturday detentions were pretty common in high schools (don't know if they still are or for other parts of the U.S.). The movie 'The Breakfast Club' is based on Saturday detention. That gave me the i

I know we shouldn't attribute to malice that which can be explained by incompetence (or other potentially less negative reasons), but it does seem like Mozilla has worked harder against its own success than any competitor. I consider t

I don't think it's so split between they can and can't. It's probably more about how it impacts velocity.

Someone flagged your comment, and wrongfully by my measure. From the article itself: > The DirecTV and Dish merger is subject to regulatory approval. DirecTV previously attempted to merge with Dish in 2002, but the deal was blocked by th
