Just red wine and only in some circumstances, pg. There's no medical benefit to vodka, whisky, rum, absinthe, peppermint liquer, beer, jagermeister, goldschlager, etc etc etc.

Also, what the fuck is the medical benefit of vodka?

Have you ever gone 1 mph above the speed limit? Jaywalked? Loitered? Looked at pornography before you were old enough? Groped someone before you were of age? Had sex before you were of age? Drank underaged? Smoked underaged? Had a friend gi

The design has a whole needs to be more consistent. Several visual elements seem to be working against each other, like the green that was mentioned. Also, I think the area that is used for questions needs to have more width to it.

Yes, but it can't tell what you're actually thinking or doing. That's my problem with fMRIs.

Every time I see the words 'fMRI', I want to scream. They're an extremely blunt tool which people are using like a scalpel.

Also, that discussion there seemed focus solely on the point of STORAGE. He seemed to be concerned about bandwidth also, for which S3, frankly, is not cheap.

I run a fairly small site. We're upto around 7 million hits a month, still pretty tiny. Our costs right now are fairly low, but recently I made a post inquiring how to cluster efficiently, because we needed more bandwidth available (And we

Maybe so, but I fully expect the next thing to hear about will be him suing Twitter for shutting down his viagra spam empire.

Dear Aaron, You seem to be someone who enjoys ligitating, so in an effort not to get MY ass sued, I will take a leaf out of the book of Penn Jilette. You, sir, are a fucker, a shit-stain and a crotch weasel. You're an asshole, a jerk and I

I hate the blending of terms in this article. It makes for a shitty read. Here's an example: "Zimbra actually has 31.4 million users in the United States, squeaking by the 31.2 million unique monthly visitors Gmail received in the US during

Ouch. $2 an episode would be harsh for me. Our cable bill is like, $80 and that includes internet. So maybe $40 of that is for TV. And I watch a bunch of different shows. CSI x 3, Law and Order, Bones, House, NCIS, Fringe, The Mentalist, Ps

Ooh. That'll be useful. I ended up having to make a new account for my latest donation drive, simply because on the last one, I'd taken in maybe.. $150 of paid pledges, but my 'amount' was near $400. :x

by ajkirwin 18y ago
I do have a suggestion. Make it so that the amount shown as pledged to a website only includes paid pledges. As it stands, a bunch of people could say, pledge $100/200/whatever each to a cause to make it seem like that cause has already rai

On the note of Tipjoy, thanks for making it. It's allowed me to take donations on my site without which I wouldn't've been able to otherwise (Due to PayPal's onerous terms of service). :)

Talk about much ado about nothing. If Google's limits are, somehow, a problem for you.. go get yourself some EC2 servers, or co-locate or.. a hundred other possible things.

So build it :)

Okay, real answer. First of all, you'll never be able to avoid piracy. Nature of the medium. Second, the best way would be to embed individual user credentials into the extension. As in, they signup and pay or whatever, and you generate a u

Files will never be deleted and there are no ordering requirements, files just need to exist across all machines (Every machine must have a copy of every file so that they can serve files in a round-robin fashion)

Well, I'll be sure to vote with my cash and only buy books that allow TTS. I spend a LOT of money on books (I am a bookworm) and would like the ability to listen to them sometimes. And as for the publishers who disallow TTS, we'll.. there's
