Would you mind elaborating on what you mean by "bloated," and could you give an example of something "easier to develop with?", explaining why it is "easier" to use?

To clarify: I'm particularly speaking about the parent's use of the term "sidegrade." I'm not disagreeing with the idea that 24/7 uptime should be paid for (because I agree), but to call the change in terms of

You can call it what you want, but for what I (and others presumably) use it for, the 24/7 uptime is essential. Sure an argument can be made for needing to pay for 24/7 uptime, but it is very clearly a downgrade in such a case whe

But it is a potential conflict of interest, hence it is something worth addressing, no? Especially it's in the best interests of both the cops and the people.

Around my third year in mathematics, I had the same realization: I did not know what I wanted to specialize in. After some thought, I understood it to be because I did not know enough about all the various fields to make a solid decision. T

I love this idea, and the website is so clear and inviting. I'd order some right now if I was on the other side of the US. :)

I use Mailinator[1] for these purposes (which has hundreds of domains to generate emails for), and I have not been convinced to switch. After going to this site, I have to press a button before an email is generated for me. This doesn'

I always read the comments first, and recently have rarely been reading the articles unless there is no discussion yet, or it seems really interesting. I do have a personal rule that I will never, under any circumstance, comment without rea
