Should be titled: "Why my experience with one Android tablet sucks". While his reasons are sound, I don't think these reasons are entirely encompassing of all Android tablet experiences. I for one have been using Asus Transformer for a whil

You're right when you say Netflix Canada offers very little in comparsion to Netflix US; but Google TV does not require any accounts that are only available to US customers. That is also wrong. You just need ANY google account. You can make

This is not true. I'm in Canada, and it works just fine.

Anyone aware of an inexpensive place to pick up a small touchscreen LCD? APC, paired with a small touchscreen would be very useful in many situations.

In my opinion, you're not entirely wrong nor are you right. For one, I don't think that ranking for 2015 BMW 3 Series (my former example) is meeting any demand. The car does not even exist yet; I'm not even sure if BMW would even be working

Gamification of SEO killed online reviews. More and more people are "understanding" how SEO works and they're simply manipulating it. By ranking early for a keyword that has yet to gain popularity, they stand a chance at getting a lot of tr

I'm actually setting up a new ec2 instance tonight as my current one is set to expire. I currently run DUNG (nginx/gunicorn), perhaps I will run nginx/uWSGI first and compare performance. I will ping you if I get around to it.

Literally comparing apples and oranges. More like; I buy a loaf of bread and I am never around to eat it. The whole loaf goes mouldy so I don't buy it. My friend gives me a piece of bread when I want it at 12 am, I would GLADLY pay for it b

Actually, I own a server in the US and have the means to set up a VPS. The point I am trying to make is that I shouldn't have to take 10 steps to watch my favourite shows. It should be a two step process. Pay -> Watch. Easy.

I am 25 years old. I have never paid for cable and I have numerous shows that I enjoy. I would GLADLY pay to watch some of my favourite shows, Game of Thrones included. However, as I currently reside in Canada, I can't even watch Hulu - Net

I agree. Though, I would love if someone responded and convinced me otherwise. What am I missing?

It makes good business sense to grab early invites, sure. However, you're posting this to a forum that is made up of mostly hackers. Hackers hate being tricked. At least tell us the site is not ready for consumption before we all go ahead a

I have an Asus Transformer and use this regularly, and it has suited me quite nicely on numerous occasions. If I go away for extended duration of time, I don't have to lug around a laptop with me. Also note that I do a lot of my active deve

For curiosity sake, could you post a screenshot as an example of "not looking anything like bootstrap". Thanks!

Agreed. I'm not at all interested in giving my email out just to see what this is all about.

Do you have an email you can be reached at?

That's actually laid out quite nicely. And in theory, I really like it. However, it's kind of like a last line of defense, where the rest of the defense is entirely broken. It's putting all your faith in that last line of defense, and hopin

Well, I kind of think this is playing right into the problem at hand. I mean, I believe what got us into this problem in the first place is an organization with motivations. Playing the same game is not what needs to be done, something else

What scares me most is the fact that everyone knows this tactic. Write an absurd policy, debate it, offer an alternative and jam it down citizens throats. We know this, yet there is not much that can be done about it. Aside from the obviou

I don't know where you're getting ~36%? Borrower in OP had a 3% interest rate, and the article stated an industry average of 10-20%. With that aside, I don't entirely disagree with your argument.

I just received a polymer $100CAD bill the other day, I thought it was pretty bad ass. I had no clue that it was produced in Australia, and that this technology has been in circulation for a couple decades. I do notice that when I had the w

Not on topic: Ironically, a website dedicated to conversion optimization has a newsletter subscription process that forces validation via captcha? Could they not just double opt-in?

Gaining traction. Making money. Perhaps, even solving a significant technological challenge and how it will result in the aforementioned challenges being solved. This answer is not based on experience, but rather my best educated guess.
