Rather than a down-vote, I'd be interested in some suggestions about what I'm doing wrong. 1. Click "web" (or alternately, Google the title of the article, verbatim from the article itself) 2. Click the appropriate link

That hasn't worked for me, for several months now. I've had good luck with a Firefox add-on called Paywall-pass, though.

Bubblesort's a great learning tool, though. Knowing the implementation of bubblesort is like knowing my base-10 multiplication tables. In a realistic case, I'll use sort(), just like I'll use a calculator for any multiplicati

It's easier to quantify the costs than the benefits, IMO. I think it's easier to collaborate when I'm sitting right next to my coworkers. I think it's reasonable to say that it saves 30 minutes a day for each employee on

In and of itself? No, not really. But in my case, I've got in-person access to coworkers, drinks+snacks, a nicer desk and work area than I have space for at home, occasional catered food and social events, etc. So I feel like it's

I've never used a TI-85 or 86. From what I remember, we were told that an 83 or 89 had some particular feature that the 86 lacked (apparently some statistics functions, or something?) People are more likely to recommend based on what t

I understand the appeal of Minecraft mods, and I've read about some of them...I just haven't played any (at least, not any complex ones, and not in a long time). Let's Plays have never been interesting to me, though. Either t

Thank you for the explanation. Some of those I've known about (but they didn't come to mind in my original comment), and some are definitely things that I would've taken for granted (coming from a native application programmi

I have comparatively small hands. On an iPhone 6, I usually unlock it with most of my hand near the bottom of the phone to get my thumb in position there. After it's unlocked, I shift my hand so that my thumb's coming from the sid

Bleh. I just tried it in three different browsers and hit the paywall each time. It's too bad, I've had this condition for years. I guess I'll have to do my own reading on the side.

That's what I've been saying for years. My last phone was a Galaxy Nexus, and my current is a Nexus 5. The change from 4.65" to 5", along with less-rounded edges, meant that the new phone was really a mixed blessing for

"anybody, for any reason" is extremely inclusive. You could argue that they meant "an adult of sound mind", or some other somewhat reasonable thing, but that's not what they said. Without a clearer specification, I

Exactly what I was thinking. I've never owned a Linux computer where I was promised any kind of support. If something goes wrong, I get to fix it or do without, so I end up caring about the inner workings much more than I would with a

It's not a valid solution. Is it an improvement to the current situation, or a step on the path to finding a solution? If not, what are you suggesting as the next step to make things better? Because I don't feel like I know enou
