I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're refering to as Twitter, is in fact, X/Twitter, or as I've recently taken to calling it, X plus Twitter. Twitter is not a social media unto itself, but rather another f

That is something I noticed on dating apps when I still used them. Star signs seemed to be a big part of what a lot of people were looking for, despite the fact that it hasn't been accepted in any way for centuries. Normally I would ju

One of the Green Brothers posted an open letter to Johnson and Johnson so I thought I should share it here. What they are doing is absolutely despicable considering how many people still die from tuberculosis yearly.

Support and long term stability. You can hire a sysadmin to do everything manually, but it is worth the money to a lot of big businesses to have somewhere to call when things get screwey. Also having a server that doesn't need to be tu

I like it! Definitely looks better than it did. I can see some more work needing to be done, but this is definitely a huge step in the right direction.

Good point. Thing is, most people get their e-books from Amazon which has a history of harsh DRM restrictions and removing them from libraries when licensing issues arise. I fully support DRM-free ebooks. That is part of the reason why I am

I try to do this but money is limited. If I tried this for every service I use, I would be pretty broke and I am not the only one. The average salary in America is around 40-50k/year. Factor in kids, rent, food, and everything else, pa

My main worry is that someone might register a trademark for that name and cause all sorts of issues for me. Worst case scenario I could just rename the project, but my mind goes to the time when Firefox browser, at the time Phoenix Browser

My problem with your reasoning is that it relies on a literal interpretation of the words spoken in the book. The father says that "there are no other kids his age", yes, but remember...most of the book is told through the father&
