I believe there is an option to disable that at Google.com/account (I was going through it this morning).

I was actually just talking to my wife today about a zenbo. I'm waiting for information (signed up for the developer program), but it seems good from the videos I saw (heh huge grain of salt here, perhaps a whole stack). I like the ide

Huh this was a really interesting write up on semi-obscured code. I had never seriously thought about crawling through popular sites code like that, I'm definitely going to have to give it a go!

I agree with vertex, even with the male pronoun, it could still be confused( like a lot of things in English, you have to make an educated guess as to the meaning). I hear that a lot from students.

Exactly. I don't understand the hesitation for using they or their. We will never be able to remember all the different pronouns people want to be called (without some sort of system to look it up constantly at least), I believe it&#x2

I don't find that awkward.

Huh that was really interesting. Thank you, I think I might spend some time looking up more today.

I am certainly in agreement. From what I can see they used social engineering for a few months, then dark patterned it so users would install. (Im referring to users being slowly trained to close the window saying upgrade, then that same cl

I think it's more towards the school of thought of 'if it isn't easy, most people won't. Installing an ad blocker isn't as easy as installing an add on someone links, you have to actively search for it (and require

Along those lines of thought I remembered an article about a troop of baboons with no alpha males left. http://bobsutton.typepad.com/my_weblog/2009/11/the-baboon-tr...

I have seen this in person. I was even told once by a teacher than anything the ALT's say must be true (even when it was defiantly not). It actually came about as i was a bit nervous about teaching a subject i hadn't done in a lo

I'm going to look into this, thank you. I am always interested in learning better ways to teach the students :)

That is a genius idea. I might float it past one of my head English teachers!

I'm a programmer too :-p does that mean I can make double?

I think you are spot on with that. The amount of training I received was very very minimal. My current company gave us one day training - most of that time was doing paperwork for the company. While I'm experienced(just over 4 years no

Haha I'm on a train and autocorrect is a bit of a bitch :-p (That actually scares the crap out of me, missing something like that on something I give the students)

Yeah the conversation schools seem that way, I'm seeing more of a trend towards more classes and general communication though. There isn't much of a reason for those conversation schools to do better though, they rarely get called

Well they do for English - at least the companies that have the contracts do.

As an English teacher I'm seeing a lot of change in the new generation of teachers. I teach high school student part time (so I can work on my side project), and the teachers over the age of 40ish have pretty terrible English(these ar

Maybe someone here can inform me, howuch does the waste weigh? Would it be viable to launch it into space then send it on a course to the sun?

If I were to say my priduct has no sales staff, it would be technically true(it's only me and word of mouth), but it really wouldn't at the end of the day as I try and push it every chance I get. In the same way, Atlasan doesn&#x2

I found this explained a lot about the anti-trust case that I didn't understand. I'm not making a comment either way on the validity of the case, but it was an interesting read.

If you don't qualify for a work visa, I would advise to try and get an extension there before going to aus. Side note, I'm Australian and my wife is Japanese, beware that she had a bit of a hard time there due to not being native(

It helped me. Although occasionally(such as last night), she will keep getting up, walking around my wife in bed, to check on me. Sweet but kept walking me up all night haha. Almost never happens though and my sleep is quite a bit better kn
