I wouldn't be overly surprised if the title was not clear, or the text was not obvious. It like the ToS changes from your credit card company, you need to be a lawyer to decipher it! I'm only a casual Disqus user, I've maybe commented using

Because that's how most options that are likely to make money are rolled out these days. Disqus are not the only one using these tactics. I can't find the link the anti-patterns video/site, I'm sure someone will know the one I am talking ab

How about you buy one license and pirate another? That way the price would be roughly equal to what it would have cost if you had bought 2 copies in the US... All is fair in the world :)

Should have just patented the single click then, as a catch all...

Specifying a font for the ordinary text is a perfect example of designers prioritizing self-obsessed wankery over the user. It's a common phrase used through the US and Europe incidently, and used in the context of what you stated I don't

So all of a sudden we have become a design Nazi and telling people what their website can or can't include for design. The alternative to not allowing custom fonts is that people go back to using text in images to display their custom fonts

It's a fair point, but I think from a users point of view they should really need to get bogged down with the tchnical details. It can feel a bit "advanced" for the average user to setup, but if that is the case and they NEED privacy then t

I agree with you. I am now living in Canada, having moved from the UK. Facebook makes it much more practical for me to keep in touch with friends and family across the globe. Sure there is skype or email, or I could start a blog or whatever

Extraditing him from a country on the other side of the world, seemingly without any official paperwork or due legal process, and locking him in an extended period of solitary confinement should put the chills through all of us. Is this wh

I agree it's idealistic, but as you say it's something we should be aiming for. Unfortunately the only way that will happen is if people make a conscience decision and talk with their wallet; whether it is Apple, Samsung or Starbucks etc.

How about we not exploit their children or their adults? But of course, that will drive up the end cost of goods, which in turn hits everyones wallet directly and so everyone starts complaining. It's just easier to turn a blind eye and igno

But at this point the content has not been deemed illegal, no court has ruled as such. So the hosting provider has no obligation to remove it, doesn't matter how immoral it actually is.

First thing they need to do is to allow the app to be installed to the SD card. The bloatware is now over 25mb in size, and I have a very limited size internal memory on my phone, whereas have a bucket load of space on my SD. And while we'r

So by that same reasoning, maybe the ISPs should all block access to this content, since it is via their service that the content is actually delivered?

And it also leads to issues like Minority Report, where instead of someone stealing your wallet, they steal your eye balls :(

Wow, the marketing department and designers really went to town on this one! </sarc> Who exactly is this aimed at? Because if it's for anyone with any technical inclination then tell me something I don't know. If it for 'Joe Average

Well, yes I agree with, just signing a petition will achieve nothing. Just like the man down the pub complaining about XYZ will achieve nothing except give him an outlet to vent. As the old saying goes: Actions speak louder than words!

Well it's a start, every revolution has to begin somewhere! And if you are that sick of them, don't sign them. Simples.

What happens when the other guy is off sick? Did this guy also have to take time off sick, cos he was unable to do the work himself...?

No, and notice the small "Skip all offers" text just below the checkboxes, it's kind of hidden between everything and difficult to see. It took me a while to figure that one out, average users have no chance!

Your glasses analogy is interesting but I think is misleading, in that it assumes there's a correct way to view things. I took it to mean you will see things more clearly, yourself. I may be wrong though.

So the alternative is to do nothing? Which is better? At least this gets some momentum going, hopefully being picked up by press, maybe even them questioning the president about it at some later interview. Doing nothing means nothing will g

So how many deaths of individuals threatened with 30 years of prison for minor crimes does it take before this becomes an issue? We supposedly live in a civilised society I would say 1 death is 1 too many.

Thank you, not sure I could have phrased it any better. I'm not sure many of us will ever fully understand what Aaron went through, something obviously dark enough that he felt the only way out was to take his own life. If some of the condo

Let's face it, if you add a TLDR, your summaries probably don't need to have that much detail, I doubt you are targeting the kind of audience that needs that much detail (or patience)

I just took a very quick at the demo's, that is really slick. I'm loving the pallettes and the UI in general. Couple of minor things: the font that you use ('Sorts Mill Goudy') really isn't that clear or crisp, simply falling back to the de
