So is using the iTunes coloring algorithm enough to entice me away from Google News or Yahoo News or cnn.com or bbc.co.uk or whatever else I might use to get my generic current events updates?

I've heard (from non-native speakers) that English grammar's really easy, but it's the pronunciation and conversely spelling that sucks. It's 90% phonetic, but that other 10% is pretty wild.

"Cleave from" isn't a valid construction. A little boy cleaves to his mother's leg, but you wouldn't say he later cleaves from it. Similarly, you can cleave a log with an axe (notice no preposition), but you can't cleave it again with a

It's not relevant, though, because the author himself didn't imply either one. The awkwardness, the otherness , of his situation is the point. He said nothing about bigotry, or about the pest guy being "disturbed", which means the commente

Yeah, I agree! I bet the pest control didn't actually say those exact words, either! You know, I wonder if there actually was a pest control guy at all--I bet it was really a plumber ! Man, I just can't trust this author at all anymore.

Why are you bringing wait times to an outcomes party?

Sure, so did I, but then I read the article .

The article has nothing to say about needlessly slow drivers, just about traffic volume overall.

There's no official app for anything except Windows. They're all open-source, though.

Except that you should be changing the master password and other important passwords (e-mail, bank, Paypal, Mint) with some frequency. This scheme basically never allows for that to happen.

So you can't even define what it is people are "implicitly" asking of you, and yet you're convinced it's "inherently accusatory", would "violate your own sense of fairness and morality", would "violate your boundaries", and the asker is bei

> people point out facts because of things like meaning and implication . Yes, great, thanks. Now please explain how that meaning and implication is "inherently accusatory", rather than pointing out non-obvious facts to people wh

Yeah but comments will add load time and clutter to the page. Also I'll bet if this picks up any steam, the comments will devolve quickly without technically being spam.

You could have a corporate standard e-mail address (fmlast@company.com) as well as the option of a colloquial one if desired. As to vacation: I'm not speaking from experience here, but I think creating a culture of vacation could do it. If

I hope you detect the false dichotomy in your response.

It's the deep end, but there's VERY detailed and explicit instructions on how to swim. And almost zero risk of actual death. I wouldn't recommend it for someone who's never touched *nix before, but if you've installed Linux, and run apt-get

Just installed it. Can't really give feedback until I get some texts, but I will say that if I end up using this app regularly, I'll want an option to pay to get rid of ads.
