That is definitely the general assumption as it's most often true, but university alumni associations don't hold to that, nor do dictionaries.

People using ad blockers doesn't actually bother me, I know it's a pointless argument. What bugs me are people sitting around concocting elaborate moral justifications. If you don't like my site, don't visit it. The end.

I like to picture you, sitting there comfortable on the couch, waxing philosophical, languorously reaching out to pluck the food out of my child's hand as he goes to put it in his mouth. Because it works for you, right, you wanted that

Interesting to consider in tandem with AmazonSupply - a much bigger play for businesses, and one you hear very very little about. You can (and I'm sure they'd prefer that you do) use your Amazon Local Register proceeds to buy most

No offense, but you should really try and meet more people, if everyone you know feels that way. Maybe your peer set isn't diverse enough? Or seek geographic variance? Everybody here seems to be talking about multi million dollar SoHo

Taking all that at face value it certainly disregards the actual user, who in the vast majority of cases will not be subscribing to this new service. It sounds like Google+ all over again; where Google is spiting the vast majority of its us

I don't really care about their wording. The proposition that Google has made the choice that labels can either (1) join the premium service or (2) not be on YouTube anymore does not really seem disputed by anyone other than you. Excep

Why sit around wishing that Apple would change the policy? Why not just vet the apps that you're installing? If you are considering a free app, it's probably going to have either (a) ads or (b) persistent in app purchase nags. The

There are probably a number of complicated contractual issues to work out with authors even if a publisher is inclined to participate. It's no one's position here that publishers should just choose without consulting the authors,

The article points out he is eligible for parole after a third of the sentence, and that he'll receive credit for time already served. They even do the math for us - he'll be eligible for release in 8 years.

Yes, but the comment I was responding to was specifically about the Chromecast vs Apple TV - while we use ours a lot, it certainly has a far from perfect interface. I certainly wouldn't recommend it to anyone who wasn't on the App

That sounds smart to me, but for Netflix at least, generally everyone would use the Netflix app on the Apple TV (which is solid) rather than airplay from their device. YouTube is another story, though, it's a disaster on the Apple TV a

It of course depends on a lot of factors, but a number of Android devices have performance degradation over time, so it can't always be blamed on app upgrades. See for example: https://play.google.com/store/apps&#x

Well, reasonable people will have to agree to disagree about whether the concept of arrogance is relevant or not to to the wikileaks project. I'd say it's far from a distraction, and in fact it's the key problem with the whol

It takes Assange-level arrogance to believe that the only reason someone would think that Assange is arrogant is that he's been the victim of a media smear campaign.

Not to stop there, it's in the page title too, so anyone coming in from Google (for example) is basically required to click on the phrase "web application framework" and acknowledge that the creators, at least, think that it's a framework.
