Google is not Mother Theresa, but it's pretty obviously often driven by questions that are not in terms of monetary profit. Wall Street hates them for that.

True, but managing larger companies is also inherently harder, maybe that's what the grandparent intended to say?

It's primarily a marketing campaign for their online shop (judging from the video), so yes, probably.

You can add secondary (non-Google) e-mail addresses to a Google account, which should then all be associated with the same calendar.

Unemployment is much higher among the degreeless, AFAIK.

Germany is not affected, interesting. Maybe the fact that there is no minimum wage, and the labor market liberalizations of ~2000 help.

On my phone, it works very well. It also has an integrated group chat (which for ominous reasons is mobile-only).

Except it seems to be Scala here?

Can somebody explain and give context? Reading laws is not my forté.

Maybe it's been repeated too often.

Wow, getting hellbanned for making a joke about Portal. That's... not right. (The comment itself did deserve getting downvoted though.)

Well. I added Markus Persson (aka Notch, of Minecraft fame) to my Following circle, and... his posts are always bumped to the top of the stream because so many people comment on them. Posts can also take up a lot of space when there are att

Did you mean "de facto" when you wrote "de jure", and vice versa? Windows is the de facto standard, and ACPI is the de jure standard; you wrote the opposite.

Using Google Charts to display the QR code? OK, the code uses HTTPS there, but still... I think it should generate the QR code locally.

Firefox is not developed in secret. It is possible to see which breaking changes will probably be included before it is actually released. Mozilla is probably also willing to discuss changes with extension developers. I fail to see why it i

Evernote will hopefully learn to adapt to upcoming changes in advance.

Testing can be done on pre-release browsers, which would also allow problems to be fixed before the release.

I have precisely the same characteristics in my (stationary) garden.

Is the last chance form still active when you use two-factor auth?

Netbooks are painfully slow. I got myself a netbook (Samsung NC10 Plus) recently, and while I don't regret it because I view it as an emergency computer if I should spill water on my laptop, it isn't pleasant to use.

Android's browser is NOT Chrome. I think it doesn't have a name other than "Android Browser". And yes, it seems like it is extensible, although I am not sure how it works.

Fortunately you can use PINs with arbitrary length on Android, too.

Android certainly is successful _because_ of Linux (the kernel), because that let Google concentrate on the upper layers, being able to use a mostly finished kernel.

No. The firmware on SSDs utilises wear leveling (they also set aside a certain percentage of flash cells for housekeeping), so for the vast majority of people for whom SSDs have failed, the reason is NOT that the flash cells have died. From

HDDs do fail, too. A lot. If drives failing for you is a catastrophe, you should consider taking backup media with you.

You will need to subscribe to the Apple service if you want to use your existing collection there. So that's not so far from the Spotify solution.

State machines are anti-modular. State machines are anti-abstraction. State machine code is hard to read.

If you can even imagine living without a real shell, you are not a Linux power user. But there's nothing wrong with that.
