We're not talking mobile vs. desktop, we're talking responsive layout controlled by media queries, which can't be determined until the code hits the browser and your js (Modernizr or similar) measures the window. UA measures the screen size

this shouldn’t be against AdSense TOS in my opinion since we aren’t resizing the ads or modifying the JavaScript code... Until Google themselves come out and recommend a method, I'm not risking my entire Google account on a should or shou

But didn't they make it their responsibility the minute they began screening messages with the intent of reporting crimes? Selective enforcement whether by choice or mistake isn't an option they can choose here. And criminal legalities asi

So what happens if Facebook's system flags a message, it is reviewed by their staff and then dismissed as non-actionable, but turns out to be the precursor to a severe criminal act? Does the blame come back on Facebook for failing to preven

I live in LA, and I can tell you it is huge. Huge in terms of area and huge in terms of population density. Follow any of the police scanner-reporting or neighborhood Twitter news feeds and you can count the crimes as they happen on a minut

Sure, it will be voluntary at first, and then eventually become the only way to board a plane/train/boat. At that point, someone will suppose that if our scans are good enough for the government to identify us for something so crucial, why

Do you trust your retinal scan info and fingerprints to be kept secure by the government contractor who had the lowest bid? Just like the scanners that weren't supposed to be saving images? Reading through the article I just kept thinking,

I just went into my account and checked... If you don't accept a bid, it automatically rejects it after 72 hours. What is the point of accepting a bid below your reserve price or expiring bids after 72 hours on a 30 day auction? Lots of mes

I've tried to use Flippa before and I still don't understand the bidding process. If as a seller you don't act on a bid, it auto-expires after something like 5 days. To me it sounded like accepting a bid meant that was the end of the auctio

Yes, my point being that even after five years of mapping, they still don't have those thousands of similar situations to use as reliable data set.

The filing cost does vary between jurisdictions, but about $50 to file, another $20-30 depending on how you serve the defendant, and since there are no attorneys in small claims, that about covers it. the time spent in court could be consid

It's a good idea in theory, but I don't see it being realistic in many cases where your legally under-represented plaintiff would be able to win. First you have to get the other party into arbitration. At this point they have already breac

I think wanting a product cheaper and faster is a pretty universal sentiment. I think it can also be said that aside from cooking a meal or buying IKEA furniture, the typical consumer purchases a product that's ready to go with no assembly

Sure, 99% is probably a bit of an exaggeration, but I do think most people are pretty savvy to the difference. It seems like in this case the advertisers were going after the people who were searching for the URL rather than just typing it

It would be misleading if the ad attempted to fool users that they were about to click through to the site they were looking for using the trademarked name of the intended site. Searching for "Honda" and clicking on a link to Honda.com that
