It's a publicly traded company, but yes, "private" if you mean "not controlled by a government"

A crude way would be to send an email to #@carrier.tld (e.g. 1234567890@verizon.net) and it will be converted to SMS by the carrier.

This is a really great project! I can think of two things would make it better, but both are beyond your control. 1. Use Hipmunk's (nonexistent at the moment) API and show the least agonizing flight of each day. 2. Somehow include Southwest

I see lots of discussion prompted by stcredzero's comment (11 replies, including this one and the 2 deleted ones). How again did it not further the discussion?

The Tor nodes are not anonymous, so nobody expects users of a Tor node to run their own...they're trying to be anonymous.

Neither method really works for Jazz, though. Sometimes, the group would have a name, but many times, only one person's name is on the album cover. But, some great musicians never fronted a band, and none of them are bandleaders for their w

Wait, what? My original comment got at least one upvote, and then my edit ("For example:..."), that was meant to clarify what I was saying, is getting downvotes. Can someone explain? I'm not trying to disagree with the OP in general (you ca

I think that this argument is much stronger than your original one, and in fact, one that I would make myself. Although I still don't see how it helps your firewall example, because I can't understand how circumventing a firewall can be con

I think it's worth pointing out that not only is the argument logically incorrect, it's based on incorrect facts. For example: A: "Lisp sucks. If it didn't, we'd see it winning contests or something" B: "But it has been used to win a contes

The one major improvement I can think of would be if the screen could deform itself and make actual, raised buttons. Then it would be even more of a dedicated device towards whatever application you were running.

Yes, and the "X can be used for bad" argument you put forward is one that could be used against any advance in technology, with or without open standards or APIs. And your firewall example is not relevant. Hackers aren't using firewalls aga

Not really. Readability is for content that's already online. His 'competition' is sites like pastebin.

Is "plenty of things" enough to post a link to some? Do you practice any of these things? Otherwise, your comment does not add much to the discussion (and hence the down votes, I think).

And we also do the science ourselves by trying it and sharing our observations, as you did. Thanks for the link, and I hope it works for me! Edit: oh, and I said pretty much the same thing as you just did in another of my replies[1]. Maybe

I bought the book, but I don't think that it being a placebo is the only danger. What if it has negative effects on your way of thinking? What if it has no effect for most people? What if it has a negative effect (e.g. on people with low se

You haven't heard of ConsumerReports.org? Edit: go ahead and make decisions based on whatever criteria you feel is appropriate. Nobody has the time to read peer-reviewed journals on everything, and at some point you have to rely on the reco

> You were at -1 Thanks. This isn't the first time I've made a thoughtful reply to a "science isn't important" comment. The last time, my comment didn't get as many upvotes as its parent, so I'm not too surprised that my comment wasn't

The approach taken in writing the book was not scientific. There were no studies to determine if the phrases and methodology actually work better than a placebo (whatever that would be...lorem ipsum?). It's possible that this approach is no

What's always bothered me about these kinds of animations is that there is a grid of straight lines, but none of the objects actually follow these grid lines. Instead, the geodesics they follow are determined by the topology of the deformed

They do a combination of their own indexing and using the API of sites like Bing (not sure if I got the second part exactly right, the point is the Bing results are there with MS's blessing). More discussion of ddg's internals are on the Re

You're talking about the content of anon114's link, but what was reddit-like about his comment was the formulaic "I'll just leave this here: <link>" which doesn't contribute as much to the discussion as the comments that do get upvo

Well, the announcement post got >100 upvotes, so I think it's appropriate that the follow-up gets to the front page (even if it's anticlimactic).

With this disclaimer, your post now makes sense, but your use of AGW is non-standard and misleading, and doesn't help you in any way.

I think the two sides are talking about different things. Parent (and its GP, etc) are talking about respecting someone as a person, and GP (and its GP, etc) are about respecting someone's technical opinion on the relevant subject. Not sure
