You're not covered until they admit they are infringing a patent and then license it on your behalf. That wouldn't make me feel any better. Meanwhile, you're either infringing a patent or under threat of lawsuit until Google does something

What's wrong with the NSF starting that way? Are they not a significant source of funds for "basic science" research? Even if you want to be cynical about this issue, haven't we been doing this long enough to know that research for military

That's not really fair. The government funds more than "development of military technology".

I think there's a big difference between being bored with your friends and being bored with Facebook. I'm bored of Facebook. It's sole use for me at this point is to track down people I can't find otherwise (e.g. people I haven't talked to

I was simply making a point that there are people that have a strong financial interest that a cure would compromise. That's simply a fact. I didn't go any further than that because I'm sure I'm less qualified to do that than many others he

I believe the story of Lipitor involved Pfizer not being interested, followed by the creation of a startup around it's further development with the company eventually being bought by Pfizer. It then became the top-selling branded pharmaceut

While I can't really disagree with you, I don't think it's crazy to think that there are many influential people and organizations that have a strong interest in seeing that we avoid potential cures for common diseases. As such, I don't thi

Never allow a rude CSR cancel your account. Tell them you want to cancel and ask for a supervisor, retention department or anyone else. Be as polite as you possibly can to the next person and let them know how rude the last person was and w

I guess I'm an idiot user for preferring Gmail to anything else I've used while getting the additional benefit of having that exact same interface on any computer I use without having to install anything.

It's GPLv3. Or are you implying that deploying a website doesn't necessarily comply with the license just because the source is visible?

You could wrap it in PhoneGap or Titanium if you want to get it in the App Store/Marketplace. Otherwise, just deploy it to your web server. It would be good to get a nice mobile version of your website.

Licensing and support. Look at their other products; they aren't cheap. They are apparently coming out with a commercial version of Sencha Touch if you don't want to release your code as GPLv3. Like you said, it's javascript so it seems you

The dive that resulted in the red card is one of the things that make it hard for the average American to get interest in the game. Kaká should have the yellow rescinded, allowing him to play in the next game, with a ban for the Ivory Coast

Also, it probably doesn't help that calls to non-US mobile phones come with ridiculously high per-minute rates. (Often 10-15 times as much.)

I've also had the experience that they take this as just being difficult and making things seem more complicated than they need to be. They'll try to simplify or eliminate the problems that you present not understanding the implications or

It's not confusing if you know that, in the US, the average person doesn't think about buying a Motorola or HTC. They are buying their phone from Verizon, so it's up to Verizon to market them. That's why Verizon licensed the "Droid" TM. HTC

On the other hand, they ruin the culture of the game; singing, drums, chants, reactions to a goal or a near miss... those are all drowned out. There has to be a compromise that doesn't completely eliminate them but also doesn't ruin the cul

But would Twilio really be the right choice to offer this kind of service? I know they make your life easier but this could be done elsewhere for much, much cheaper. On that note, have you thought about a switch of service in the future for

I'd be happy with that pricing if it didn't restrict tethering. Verizon requires a $60 plan for tethering, even if you use very little and restricts it to 5GB (pay twice as much for less bandwidth). This scaled pricing would allow you to te

I doubt he thinks of those things as "sacrificing free time". I'd say those are more of a lifestyle choice than a sacrifice. He's prioritized free time and freedom to enable that lifestyle. It may look like a sacrifice to some but it's part

Be be fair, the reason is that they partnered with Skype to transfer Skype calls over their voice network for free. While I don't like it, now that they are officially supporting it, I can understand how WiFi could be a big reliability and
