I hate when the top answers on stack exchange sites are suggestions to do something completely different (don't write your own web store). I wonder how that could be avoided. Should he have worded the question differently? Should there be s

Subjectively, Opera manages a large number of tabs much better for me than FF, and has a much nicer UI than Chrome. They seem to do a lot of innovation in browser UI and features, which the other browsers eventually copy (not that there's a

How many people will know to go and rate their downloads after using them enough to have an informed opinion? I'd almost rather the person who ran the site certified software rather than crowdsourcing it.

I do agree that piracy is a societal problem, but the "buying needs to be simpler than piracy" argument is crap. Look at music - I can buy any album I can think of on Amazon with one click. The problem is that people don't want to pay money
