Admittedly, I do not understand this position. With all due respect, you're not living in reality. The reality is that email already is this "complicated thing like the web". The proliferation of myriad screen sizes from mobile to tablet to

I think that's a large part of the reason so many email clients are poor in rendering support. At least mobile/tablets have come around, but there is a lot of bad stuff going on in webmail (specifically Gmail) and desktop clients. http://w

Did you read my post? I do not agree with these felony charges at all. I don't know what the reprimand should be, whether it's a lecture or 1 detention or expulsion. But I know the felony charges are wrong based on the few facts we currentl

Right. But you didn't do it during school. edit: Do I really need to point out that 2 felonies for this is obviously a gross overreaction by authorities and I hope all charges are dropped? That said, if you don't agree that it was universal

Regardless, it's an unnecessary qualifier. Most readers here can take the leap of faith that yes, the title was written correctly, as they wait about 2 seconds for the link to load. Who cares, it's just a title, but all things being equal i

Your entirely uninformed comments which you make without providing an ounce of information backing your claim is what is useless. This whole thread is ridiculous. Has anyone upvoting these comments ever used Uber and do they understand how

I'm not quite sure I understand the point of this post. If you see spamming as an amoral activity, either shut it down yourself, or continue knowing that you are profiting from amoral activity. If you don't, then please continue spamming. I

Regarding the "socially acceptable" aspect: This is gen 1. I'm not going to say I guarantee this, but wouldn't you all be very, very surprised if this thing doesn't get a little more sleek? I mean, eventually, couldn't Glass (or a Glass-lik

You are correct. This is a very common scenario. The trigger is the cell phone's vibration motor, which is removed so the IED can be connected to the phone. A timer is set, the signal to the motor is sent and activates the trigger, entirely

>> "If anything it might be a positive sign for bitcoin that the attackers are keen to acquire it!" I don't think it inherently implies anything of the sort. There is nothing to suggest that they believe in Bitcoin or care about it.

"I can't tell you how many times I've seen an app, paid $2.99 for it and then found out it was garbage." No offense, but if you can't take the time to Google around for reviews and screenshots of an App to filter out the garbage, you deserv

Agree with this. If it's the best tool it's not that much money. But the other argument is: is $70 worth the change in productivity compared to other similar products? In that sense, comparatively, it could be considered overpaying. But to

The only downside of Uber? Hailing a normal cab and walking out as if it's already paid for. I've done that twice since I started using Uber a few months ago. Embarrassing but funny stories :)

I've had the exact same interactions with Taxi drivers. Half of them are completely unprompted by myself, and the driver will bring up Uber and ask me if I like it. Our discussion is always about the benefits of Uber, and invariably after

Pretty simple take: I admit, I've grown bored of listening to most people justify pirating. Is it a big deal? Not really. Does it likely hurt content producers? Probably. Do I personally pay for most of the art projects I'm interested in? S

I think I'm missing where the friction is in dropping your credentials? You don't have to storm in and say, "Do you know who I am??!". Isn't it easy and actually very polite to introduce yourself and what you do? "Hi I'm {Name}, This topic

I'm not suggesting that it's not worth debating whether iOS has become stale, but we can come up with more impartial arbiters of staleness than some of Apple's chief competitors, right? They make vague mention of, but never support with quo

That sort of behavior is disgusting. There are questions about the CFAA, and rightfully so. But on one level, I am 100% fine with this asshole being in jail.
