   The great thing about giveaways is that you don't even have to give anything away! /s But you're not exactly acquiring quality subscribers from giveaways like this - though it will depend on your target market I think.

   Can someone with some knowledge on nuclear energy explain to me how this solution varies from say, General Fusion ( http://www.generalfusion.com )? They're a company more local to me, and while these companies are looking to

   The trouble is that the likelihood of that logo actually being unique is extremely low.

   I think fastball is talking about the value proposition. Capitalism would suggest a higher price point I'd imagine.

   It's also going to block audio in games like Grand Theft Auto and FIFA which constantly feature copywritten content (in game menus and "radio stations" in game). Maybe they'll develop lists of these songs and not block t

    You missed the part where they proved that this is not required.

    Then you ban those apps. Any app developer that's worth paying attention to will do it.

    IIRC you do need an app token to make requests to the Twitter API, at least for users' timelines. So like gdudeman said, the solution is straight forward - requiring third party apps to show promoted tweets is an easily solution to thi

    Then you'd be wrong - if we're talking about popular opinion.

    They changed their motto to "move fast with stable infrastructure" - so someone is probably getting fired. (I'm only kidding, but if someone were to get fired, making the homepage globally unavailable for 24 minutes seems lik

    I was being general, but yes, I'm going to go ahead and say their acquisition of Beats may be a leading cause of Apple upping their CDN power, but who knows.

    A CDN like this would be really helpful for that streaming service they're probably working on.

    I wish there was a library that allowed you to input expected data (ex: we expect to see zeros 20% more often then the letter O), then the interpreter could compare against that fact and determine the likelihood of it being each letter. As

    I don't think Adblock Plus is worthy of revenue - their "business model" is to squash other companies revenue then make them pay to get it back. Sure, they block a lot of super annoying and even some potentially dangerous ads

    I wouldn't call it blackmailing. It's flat out extortion; they build a script that blocks ads for specific domains then tell the owners they can pay to have it removed.

    I have Gunnars that I wear at home. The advantage is you're not limited in use when compared to flux. You can get them in prescription as well, however they're already fairly expensive.

    Nokia has already done what this company is doing in their Windows Phones. What Colbert was talking about is something much different.

    I've always found it fascinating how a single bad driver can cause a massive traffic jam ("ghost traffic jam"). I think this should be taught when you're learning to drive as part of some sort of mandatory basic training

    This works pretty well where I live. Here in Vancouver, a major bridge that takes traffic into the downtown core is only 3 undivided lanes. There's a huge amount of traffic flowing over this bridge in the morning as it connects work to

    I really hate Twitter's TFA approach and have it disabled for security reasons. Primarily, if someone gets access to your cellphone network account (Sprint, ATT, etc.) they can receive texts on your behalf. So if your Twitter password

    It's interesting that you would mention that Nodemailer is not appropriate for mass mail due to the callback structure - does it make sense to write off mass mail because of this? I'm not convinced it does. What if you could speci
