Is the endorsement requirement a set threshold throughout the entire day? As an international user, it is already fairly difficult to participate in discussions because of the lack of activity here at certain times. So I would imagine that

I didn't want to change the title so I left it as is. A tl;dr; is that Hulu Japan is being acquired by Nippon TV. It's a very interesting move as it may indicate that Japanese networks are starting to push more streaming services

Well no e-book (my preferred format for technical books) and no shipping to where I live (in Asia) so, despite liking the 1.5 version, I won't be getting the 1.6 version. Not that I have much of a choice in the matter.

Also note that they've chopped off all revenue from Asia and Australia since the book is unobtainable there. Whether or not that is a large sum of money (I'm one of their former customers) is probably something they've alread

Who says a competitor has to be the one to exploit security holes? It is much more likely that the source code would be sold on the black market to those who have no qualms about doing this for gain.

I think the simpler answer is that most people who complain about documentation cannot improve the docs because they don't know how. If they did understand what was being explained in the documentation, they wouldn't be complainin
