Be careful – that's your moral stance, not necessarily the only moral stance. "Developers" don't "need" to agree with your stance, that's just what you'd like. Would you rather someone gets addict

Indeed – I first heard of this hackathon through Useless Press [1], which is a sort of digital arts journal/collection/blog. If you like these projects you might like their site. [1]: http://uselesspress.org

I dont think we're disagreeing. I don't suggest speaking practice to the exclusion of literary practice. In this comment you acknowledge the importance of speaking practice. That's what was missing from my reading of your fir

Oh, fully agreed. Have you gotten one of those ads when you don't have good network connectivity? Fails to load, fails to respond even if you go into airplane mode -- you have to wait until it can talk to Apple servers again before bei

Went through the same process about 3 or 4 months ago. I was uninstalling from an android phone (so not exactly the same experience) but I was pleasantly surprised by how usable the mobile web app was. Also, how much happier I became when I

Seems like the blow had already come from the closure of the mines in this case. The first paragraph of the article: """ To hear Mary Francis Matney tell it, Walmart didn’t kill the once-vibrant cluster of shops next to a rai
