It sounds like the ads were directed at Facebook pages. I don't think so, the article says After all, these are not clicks on a mere Facebook page, these are users who clicked through to an off-Facebook site. I.e. the link that the

This might be down to the difference between those of us who are supertasters and are most focused on flavor, and those of us who are nontasters and are most focused on texture Gee, or maybe it's the fact that you enjoy what you gre

You think if they didn't do a reasonable job of hiding they wouldn't be caught by say, the government?

Around 90% of mozilla's budget comes from the search deal with google.

Well if we spent 60 years failing to fly we probably would be looking at recreating what a bird does pretty closely.

Is it any different if you are doing this in bad faith? The picture posted mentions "Is this a real business? Yes it is. But for legal reasons, Dumb Starbucks needs to be categorised as a parody artwork". So they are clearly a

Well clearly people go on cruises for reasons other than staring at the ocean from their room, else no cruise ship would have ever been designed with cabins without a view.

True, I haven't looked deeply into the financials so I don't know what they are doing with their money. Microsoft's profit margin looks a lot better than google's so maybe google is reinvesting a lot.

Microsoft as the concept of an all powerful dominating IT company is dead, and nothing has or will replace it. The company itself is still doing fine- they still make roughly twice the profit google did last financial year.

I know it isn't technically, but that is the effect of it and for all intents and purposes the right it grants.

I guess the explanation to why someone deserves to be paid for something as long as they live is: if somebody is creating something to be sold to other people, and that is their job, why should it matter when that thing is sold to someone

Expressing a desire for a game to enter the public domain, let’s say twenty years after publication, does not in any sense whatsoever suggest a desire for developers to not get paid. I resent having to type this. It’s a bit like finding yo

Yeah, now people are starting to realise that running a payment processor isn't as easy as it seems. People bash paypal but there are very good reasons they do what they do, to strike a fair balance between protecting consumers and pr

I still think people wearing big headphones look stupid. I've never gotten used to that. And if was chatting to somebody and they were wearing headphones I would be uncomfortable. None of which touches on the main reason I find googl

So brave of them.

This is exactly the thought I console myself with when I spend an entire day debugging something obscure- it may suck, but programming being hard is the entire reason I have a well paid job. If it was easy, I wouldn't be useful in any

Usually I'd agree with you, but when it comes to offering a service that provides security, it is different. Why? Because with any other service, the people using it are going to be able to judge whether it is effective. If Word cras

that has generated billions and billions of dollars for the world economy. That's an interesting thought. Has it? I wonder what a lot of websites would have used if PHP has not been around. I wonder if, overall, PHP existing has a

None of that applies in this case though. There are states where the law is, if it is your car, you pay the fine. It is that way exactly because people like this dude will try and get out of paying the fine, and so the law has had to be c

He doesn't say anyone else was driving the car, and there is no reason to assume anyone else was, since he says I am always in the habit of fighting my tickets and NOT pre-paying them so I don’t have to go to court – like many folks d

Yeah, cause not using your legal rights to escape punishment when you are guilty is exactly the same as not exercising them when you are innocent. This attitude actually erodes our legal rights, because it causes police officers, judges and

How many people honestly find the attitude that "I can get away with it, therefore it is ok to do" acceptable? Yeah, they can't prove it was you, but we both know that you were speeding. Furthermore since it is your car, in

The key is there are quite a few places where use is tolerated, but not actually legal.

I don't know why you'd link to wikipedia for this- I often see instances where wikipedia has incorrect information.

It's ambiguous how exactly they do this. It does say * An artist’s royalty payments depend on the following variables, among others: In which country people are streaming an artist’s music * Which implies it would be at least per coun
