Reductio ad absurdum. Without endorsing either of the two opinions, your analogies are invalid because they are examples of the above logical fallacy. You cannot compare using something in a manner that violates a person's right to not

I think they can make a ton of money there. First, allow devs to sell apps just like on Xbox Live and phone app stores. Secondly, require as policy that any program bound by the SDK license will only use Facebook's payment system to charg

#Haskell is another room that is useful. There is constant deep, on-topic discussion between experienced users who will also go out of their way to help newbies, without rockstar cliques who are too important to allow that in their channel

Way too many glyphs to be syllables. If I were doing something like this, I would assign new glyphs to each letter (as not to break the image of a fantasy world), and then encode the whole thing with a one-time pad. Doing so can give you a
