As someone that's not a native english speaker, can I ask you why "his" is sexist? A quick read of a dictionary ( http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/his ) says that his is "the possessive form of

Oh, that's sure better. I missed the "persistently" in the article, my mind automatically assumed that it was auto-hiding (must be the late hours). Anyway, I still don't agree that it's always better than a sliding

I've never understood the hate for the "Hamburger button". It's here, it works fine and doesn't hurt anyone. Some options just don't need to be in the face of the user 100% of the time. Why do I need a "se

Games don't use much bandwidth, what you need is a low ping (you get in with ADSL by being near the central, and having your ISP set you a fastpath profile). Unless you need that bandwidth to stream what you're playing. "symm

If you're willing to get your hands "dirty", you can self-host on a vps, it's damn cheap those days. DigitalOcean is a favorite around here, but there are also more "professional" companies like Linode, and mor

It's not like that. A long time ago (2005?) there was an extension for Firefox called "Adblock". Eventually the development of this extension died, and it got forked with the name "Adblock Plus" in 2006 or so. The A
