Ah yes, the old tables are bad because... um... well... we said they're bad. Nevermind that they visually work, and HTML email never progressed beyond 1997. They're bad! And I'm not trying to reignite the "tables are bad

Conversely, decentralization might be an attractive option for a small team. Less hardware to have, maintain, keep. Also there's an iOS and Android version: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/bittorrent-sync&#x2F

It's also worth noting that a subject taking the plea bargain does not necessarily mean they got the right person who committed the crime. There are many documented cases where an innocent person was coerced in to taking a plea bargain

Not surprising, as the feature hasn't worked for quite some time, despite still being available to configure within your settings. I am disappointed however, because there are quite a few sites on the Internet that I would much rather not s

I agree. It's there to explore. Well, we found something. Explore it a little further.

While I concede to your point that we should not allow isolated views of individuals to taint our overall purview of a given topic; that these are peoples opinions and that opinions are not finite or absolute. We must also realize that life

"Twitter already said that most people access Twitter through their web ui and mobile apps." My problem with this stance is the same problem I have with so called "browser share". I am not beholden to a single interface. I'm human. I'm dyna

And can't be changed. Because they are, you know, attached to you. I lose a jump drive containing a key file? Easily change the keys on the server. The lost key is no good to anyone anymore. My fingerprints get compromised? Uh... cut my own

That doesn't validate user+tag@gmail.com, which is one of the very root points that he was trying to make in the first place.

That's odd. I experienced the same issues with Chrome when I tried to migrate to it away from Firefox to see what all the fuss was about. Also Chrome's tab bar display when you have more than 50 tabs open is atrocious. I've since stuck with

Well, obviously, but I believe what he's getting at is: if so many students want to take a course, why aren't they allocating more resources toward that course to support demand?

No, I truly believe it's the client. The phone app. The desktop app. It's the lynchpin that makes all this stuff a breeze. I don't have to tell it anything. Put photos in the photos folder and they become a photo gallery. Share a folder and

I did. But that only solved half of it. My methods for putting the file in a place where someone could download it via HTTP were clunky. I've got a web server. Or I could host one locally. But it's all just so cumbersome and unwieldy for wh

This gets close to the mark. But I feel like chiming in with my two cents on why I drop $10/mo on Dropbox. It changed the way I work with files. And it's all the client. Before Dropbox my options for sharing a file with someone were all cum

Precisely. There's a lot of variables at play here. The fact that the battery is so expensive vs. what a consumer has become accustomed to paying for vehicle maintenance on a traditional gasoline car. The tech is new. The way the vehicles o

Non sequitur. While the circumstances surrounding the different engines and technology are wildly different, it doesn't change the root issue: if you neglect your car, it will break, and it will be a very expensive fix.

We marveled with wonder at the free and open channel of communication that was the Internet. What unparalleled discussion it would bring. The truly free exchange of ideas, thoughts, and opinion. Soon some of us soon found that we didn't act

While I would like to see it, absolutely, it misses the point a bit in regards to how Carmack is approaching this. He's a tech guy, first and foremost. He's been dedicated to releasing the source to his games, because he's dedicated to shar

I think it raises a valid observation of the role a site like The Pirate Bay actually plays in regards to preservation. When they did their little press stunt sending a letter to the King of Sweden [1], in part they said "We now have the ho

I don't think the games industry will ever be able to adequately thank or appreciate all that Carmack has done over his career. Most of which because the man is too humble to accept any of it.

In my experience. It's Murphy's Law adapted to reading. If you pour a lot of care and attention in to some copy or instructions. They won't even not read it, they will flagrantly disregard it. If you fluff up some filler text to fit a space

I can concur to this anecdote. I'm personally in the IT field, and just got tired of fixing computers all day, to come home and fix my own computer. It was something I loved enough to make a career out of, but yet I grew exasperated at havi
