In the context of the conversation, we've been talking about Amazon. You're right... I don't agree with their usage. This isn't some small little guy bravely trying to fight off the wolves with a few patents they got the

I don't fault them for it if they don't. "The Bitly security team learned of the potential compromise..." sounds much better than "our programmer, Joe, got an email..."

Replying to yourself to take a snipe at someone else, with no data of your own, is pretty weak. Especially when you are wrong. In just 30 seconds of searching, I found a 2011 long term study conducted in Sweden that concluded the "over

How is this argument any different than the absurd Affluenza argument that gained popularity this week? Successful/great people rise above all kinds of adversity and come from all sorts of backgrounds. Criminals likewise span every dem

Note that the gun you linked is 4-5 inches in total length. It's still quite small, but not similar enough in my opinion to a 2-inch prop gun. EDIT: The gun is 3 5/8" in length. At any rate, my problem is not the TSA agent&#x

I think you give the agent too much credit, but perhaps that was the thought process. I'll concede that point. However, I still think it was a dumb argument. Note that the closest small gun you linked with any chance at being lethal wa

I know you weren't asking for other IDE recommendations, but I thought I'd give you perspective from someone who is almost exclusively a VS user and loves the IDE (well, up to VS2010, or VS2012 with 2010 colors and icons). When it

Fair enough. I guess I'm just not a fan of websites that want to look like printed material, which is by most accounts an inferior medium.

Upvote us, downvote us, ignore us – I don’t care I think this is a good attitude to have, but I have to point out that obviously it matters a little. Otherwise, this post wouldn't exist.
