Every vote has to count to someone... so you can't have a "dead end" on a ballet (hence a vote isn't counted if it isn't filled out completely). They preference all 100+ rankings, but do it by groups (generally). i

But that problem you are describing is solved. There are meal replacement shakes on the market already. There is fast food (cheap!) there are hot dog stands...

Is that better or worse than dropping it on a city (or two)? I'm not sure where your position comes from.

I will always look for a book on amazon (as I know, from working for a publisher that amazon demand cheaper books). As a consumer why would I act any different? If you push an update, I can buy that as well on amazon (and still only spend

I wasn't objecting to giving him/her money. Just that there is a 100% price difference between amazon and prag prog (something that the author left out of their comment). If he/she doesn't like amazon's price... th

Obviously... because it's double the price. Equivalent to saying: "Please give me more money... because that way i get more money"

Given we are comfortable with firing bullets into each other. (i.e. killing what is already accepted as human life) I find it difficult to see how this could ever be unethical (given the status quo).

I don't thing any database/technology is well suited for everything. And never said as such. But as a counter point... We don't know this was a 'general purpose' problem... so your point isn't even valid even

It's a two party system, but the two parties don't have to be the same ones that are their now. I don't understand the "viable alternative" arguement. You are saying "I won't vote for who I really want to

Have your objects update from a form fields without having to select each element, assign it's inputted value to your JS object. Turns 50 lines (if you're lucky) of JS into 0. (with about 10 characters more markup).

While this isn't really the place to explain it. What takes you 20 minutes with observer listener pattern takes less than 1 in angular (can't speak for ember). It is life changing if you've always hand rolled your own JS. T

Yeah, having just installed an unofficial build of Cyanogenmod 10.2 for my S3... It would be a bit ridiculous for me to annouce that due to bugs that Google had forgotten how to innovate and thus I'm switch to iOS. I think people just

Doesn't that make this field better? Not worse. So the data says this field will convert more?

Guess you ignored the "excluding call-to-authority" part of my post. No one has tested this form. So just putting it down seems premature. I'd prefer people to be data driven, than just cargo culters.

Maybe your app wasn't suited for what it's good as. A File system would suck as a relational database... that doesn't mean it sucks in general. I suspect you had the same problem with Mongo.

Yeah because apple only gives away all your privacy to the NSA, they have heaps more integrity. Oh that's right, Apple are American, not Korean... americans are never evil, and always full of integrity. .... But those Koreans! Why don

what if you have a need, and that need can only be filled by a product with a loaded price... you don't really have the option to "not buy it"...

Nothing wrong with that, just as there is nothing wrong with me taking my copy and distributing it for a lower cost/free. (That's called arbitrage). Or are we talking about using Copyright to be limited to geographic location? (i

I think you are projecting here. And attempting a moral high ground. Where was I wrong exactly? Please point it out, then you can return to your high ground. The argument remains the same, I drew a parallel with a current situation to hi

Exactly, also the more well known attack in Yemen. Also not a war zone. Firing missiles on civilians, or "combatants" that aren't engaged in any conflict with you is a war crime. Would you accept this, if the US fired a miss
