As a dropbox team admin for my company, I recently removed a member from the team. It explains in bright red writing (from memory) that it will remove the members entire dropbox account. I remember, because I contacted the team member, and

Really... Businesses should have political agendas and involve them selves in matters of state? That hasn't worked out so well in the past...

Traditional was already unified. Simplified was a simplification (to increase literacy levels), there is no evidence that simplified was a newspeakesqe version of chinese It has nothing to do with Tibet nor Taiwan.

Wait... That's historically true, isn't it? The Qin Dynasty unified China's writing system in an effort to unite the disparite cultures (not to censor them). Lets not confuse history and propaganda.

You remember wrong. It was and is reported as pro-democracy protests, that were crushed by Deng Xiao Ping.

if random relatives know these stories they are hardly covered up. Heaps of chinese news doesn't make it out of the country, because it's written in chinese, or published in Chinese (only) news outlets. It's not a cover up.

Sorry, I wasn't talking about the ability to create pixel based documents, and/or inches based. I was referring to transitioning between them. (i.e. normalizing your ppi of all your artwork and converting a pixel based document into an 'r

This is of course just my opinion, just as that graph is someone else's opinion (i.e. there are no universal 'truths' here). Lobbying (as in paid lobbyists) should be viewed as corruption. Going to war with countries for no (valid) reason (

The West came up with some favourable rules for themselves then judged the rest of the world by those rules. Great graph, it highlights the "West" quite well. Shame it doesn't tell me ANYTHING about corruption :(

Great contribution, my point is still valid regardless of what you think of me... you, on the other hand, didn't make a useful point. To say Adobe is tied to Postscript unlike Quark comes across as fanboy-ism. Given adobe are heavily inves

HTML is inherently bad for print because of the pixel-inches transition... I'm not sure how quark gets around that, but it's a serious issue. What CSS/HTML does Quark support?

... Right because Adobe ONLY produce InDesign. For digital publishing, Adobe have Dreamweaver, Muse, Edge, (part of InDesign), Flash... all linked with Creative Cloud, which allows you to publish 'to-the-web' (Great for non-technical design

Built on Flash, the abandonware tech everyone is leaving. Flex was pretty horrible, and only started getting reasonable after Flash 10, but there was a constant conflict between the Flex team, and the Flash team (within Adobe). You could e

Why not? Should web apps require javascript? Shouldn't the be usable even when javascript is unavailable.

7. Progressive Enhancement. It should be mentioned more, the current trend of tech is leaving it behind, for no good reason... There should at least be a debate on it... but it seems it's in the "Too hard" basket right now.

ShenZhen is the WORST example you could make. It is a Special Economic Zone, created as an experiment to look at the effects of urbanising the country side... Go next door to Guangzhou, in the evening and walk along the streets and count t

Like Apache Gunships gunning down innocent families trying to help the wounded (also gunned down by said gunship)? Yeah that was so 'openly' reported that the person who leaked it will probably spend the rest of his life in prison, and the

"Murdered"... No, there was no intent. They starved, because of a number of counter productive measures. Mao would not instigate the great leap forward had he known the consequences in advance. Hiroshima/Nagasaki was murder Rape of Nanjin

Terrorists + bomb = nightmare (regardless of speed). By this logic Planes are a bad idea too (no room for emergency, high speed, tiny windows with nothing to look at)...

I realise you've hit "someone is wrong on the internet" territory, and thus seem to be just ranting. But when you are telling me that peoples conceptual models of how to use email are flawed... you are losing credibility. Computers should b

It is weird to ask for the subject of an email before writing an email. I'm sure I'm not the only person who has change (or left blank to begin with) the subject once I've written the email. Also I've observed a lot of people who write the

I didn't saying anything of the sort. But you dismantled that straw man rather deftly! Well Done! I was referring in particular to "Human Rights". There are a number of different ways to approach building a productive society. Human Righ
