Ah OK. I have a 30" monitor so for me there was no CTA visible for only a tiny fraction of the page. As far as the carrousel is concerned, ideally you should just A/B-test what works of course. Concerning the business model I just wanted to

Talking about not ugly; it seems that they're using a hex encoded unique identifier for the groups (see movie-talk-bfcd5ecc@breeze123.com in the comparison page.) I really don't get why people don't look into encoding designed to work well

We're talking about sexuality in the sense of the physical sex of your partner; not your fetishes. Unfortunately that's a difficult topic to avoid since we can hardly start referring to our partners as 'it' when the topic comes up. Choosi

It seems that you're also expecting other people to change. You can also just voice your opinion respectfully while still leaving room for everybody else's interpretation. It's the difference between "I don't agree." and "You're doing it wr

It sounds like you're describing a very thing every programmer experiences. Paul Graham wrote an essay on it ( http://www.paulgraham.com/head.html ) which I'd suggest you give a try. As a meta-note... these kinds of questions probably belon

I assumed this referred to intentional baldness, i.e. shaving your head. As far this discussion goes my main concern was that conflating chosen traits with inherited ones is derailing the discussion. They are very different with completely

Indeed. It's more a case of 'we know we collectively have an unfair bias against women, let's try to consciously adjust our bias a bit.'

Very true. I only noticed all this after I quit smoking and subconsciously replaced a few smoke breaks with coffee breaks, causing me to massively overshoot my caffeine levels on a daily basis. Whether it's good to keep an even level of caf

I quit coffee 6 weeks ago. The first two working days were hilarious, as I actually had trouble maintaining the focus to procrastinate. The headaches lasted for a bit more than a week. I tried all household remedies and only peppermint tea

His doctor got the patient to quit. One week of lost productivity is a low price to pay for successfully turning someone's life around.

What exactly are you basing that on? Not snarky, I'm truly interested since I fit the OP's description fairly well; luckily including having quit in December 2012.

My comparison was of a more practical nature and practically speaking the most distributed VM is the browser. The browser itself used to be too slow for many use cases which led to Flash filling in the gap, but thankfully that's rapidly cha

It's all about who is able to get their VM in the most places; Java already lost that battle and Flash is on the way out. It seems like JavaScript is the new ActionScript.
