If you explore the topic, there are solid reasons from performance, to vm ports, to readability for why refinements have been curtailed. I'm quite happy with this. The original refinement support would have held ruby back, even if it had it

I think the point is that businessman selects employees who then make more money, are healthier, and therefore more reproductively interesting and successful. This means that a one can influence evolution without reproduction. This is somet

I agree and it created a shitty situation. But I have to believe B&N did not intentionally institute this policy and will quickly change it.

You might try an e-ink device. That will solve your problems of fiddling and pixelation. I find them far more comfortable to read as well. Regarding your memory system, this is a matter of changing habits. As for the nostalgia, I could tell

I've always been curious why mice were seen as a good filter for testing potential medications. Isn't it just as likely that medications that seemed promising and would actually work in humans would be ineffective in mice, thus never making

Seems to me that ES6 adds a lot of useful constructs. Java is usually criticized for adding features too slowly and promoting bloated codebases due to an inflexible language. I don't see how this is anything like Javascript or promotes bugg

If this is possible, it has vast implications for contact with extraterrestrial life. It would seem either intelligent life is sparse enough in the universe at this time that we have not been found, or we are being intentionally ignored. Th

EULAs are "contracts of adhesion": http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standard_form_contract#Contract... While they are not worthless, they are not nearly as binding or enforceable as your normal commercial contract. Standards vary and the juri

"some folks have another column in their life ledger, labelled 'satisfaction'. You can't see it, so their behavior seems irrational." I like that. Is that a Spider Robinson quote? Couldn't find it.

This can be a problem, though I doubt an alternative airport parking based service would be much quicker. As mentioned by others, Hertz Gold etc really ups the service, but it's usually not worth the 2-4x you pay on the rental. I've found P

Airport car rentals tend to be pretty cheap (<$200/wk), available, and high quality. This poses a problem for any company attempting to "disrupt" the industry. AirBNB is competing with high priced hotels that often are booked and an exi

That's not true. Using insider connections is also effective. What's pretty much impossible is getting support through the recommends methods - forms and email.

I used to use fastmail but switched to google as their interface fell behind the times and I wanted features they didn't have. Perhaps I should look again.

I've been looking for a functionally equivalent alternative to gmail largely because I fear ending up in a similar situation. I'd like to host my email with a company that has remotely competent and caring support. What are the best servic

These things will happen, by usually businesses care about their customers and make humans available to fix the problem. Google is notoriously awful at this.

Any idea why such a video would not be available on mobile? I wonder whether this usually is an oversight. The distinction of "mobile" seems rather vague at best.

Yes, just like it's illegal to walk out of a store (with stolen merchandise.)

This is pretty much my philosophy. People rant and rave about what you can hack Linux and Android to do, without realizing that it's a hobby for them - one that I don't enjoy. Maybe I'm too stupid, slow, or lazy, but I don't give a shat if

I agree in part. This is not something to throw into your average mobilized web page, but into an HTML application designed for mobile. Facebook clearly does something like this for their mobile app.

The problem with heavy government involvement in any industry is not that it's inherently bad, but that if it is bad, it is very, very hard to change. With minimal good regulation on transparency and accountability (I did not say no regulat

It works just fine for tourists. And regardless, creating a communist style fixed price centrally managed system is not the solution to tourists being scammed. It doesn't solve the problem, raises prices, and limits supply - it's a lose los

Fare scams still occur on metered taxis, and these scams are any more widespread in taxis than any other industry. Nothing distinguishes transportation, from say, overpriced crappy old model cameras on Fisherman's Warf, Dead Sea cosmetics,

True, though the security concerns of weapons in a courthouse surely justify a baggage scan, metal detector, and pat down. Security is far more of an issue in a courthouse even than on a plane.
