But why would you want to? I thought this all went out of fashion after people finally figured out web 2.0 was a hoax.

Absolutely no sarcasm intended. Yoga is all about reaching an inner peace through physical and mental discipline. Sitting there with your phone beeping and buzzing is an offensively poor effort to do an activity well.

What on earth? Why do people assume their freedom of speech can impede on a company's own rules and regulations. Apple very specifically states that they only accept some applications. The things they find to be in bad taste, they won't a

This valuation is way, way, way off. I mean, add a zero to the end and I still don't think you're close to a fair value. Nice domain, tons of traffic, and a load of real users who you could keep around if you wanted to. Even if you wanted t

GEO is 22236 miles up. Consider that you'll usually be bouncing data at least 50000 miles through the lossy atmosphere. It's the distance and lost packets that cause the main latency issues. You could got for a LEO (upward of 500m) but they

Given the pandemic of these things over the last few years, I thought I was the only remaining person this annoyed by these silly boxes. I go to a page to read the content, not to be harassed by pop-overs. I see one, I leave.

Native is easy enough if you're willing to either shop around (our Samsung Q330 i3 took minimal messing around with for 11.10 and "just worked"™ for 12.04) or pay somebody. You say you're willing to pay so take a look at people like Zareas

You don't seem to see the distinction between being able to see the source and being legally able to reuse that source. Copyright still applies.

More effective than spending 30 minutes to take the site down with a DMCA? This is exactly what they're supposed to be used for. I don't see how giving them a whole load of PR, links and stern looks is going to fix anything given that they'

Why are you on here complaining about it? Do something. Hire a lawyer and get it fixed. If you think it's as clear-cut as you make it sound, skip the lawyer and take direct action. Moaning to a bunch of grumpy programmers is only going to g

Their current model seems to be they want a 30% cut whenever a developer so much as farts. If you don't give them their 30%, they kick you out. BitCoin not being a real currency probably jumps over their legalese a little and would allow so

Two reasons: I don't own a license for it and based on my preview testing, I don't need it. I don't boot an instance of Windows for the Windows experience, I'm doing it so I can load another application so I can get things done. Plus XP's M

Completely agree. If you're in Ubuntu and need to get work done in a Windows app, do it in XP on VirtualBox. It's the right way. Nlite your XP install down so it's "wather thin" for extra credit. I can be in Ubuntu one second, load up my VB

Why on earth are people trying to hang onto the paper style? I get that publishers don't want to rehash all their print media just for digital downloads, but why do we have to shoe-horn that into some crappy, unneccessary page transition pr

Regardless of the pros and cons with this and UK plugs in general, £25 for one 1A USB socket is £20 too much. And that's allowing £4 for the gimmick-factor. It's not even that much smaller than the newer micro-USB chargers that Nokia and

This is nonsense (at least in the UK and France). Yes there is preference for chip & pin but every reader I've seen supports swipe & sign still. Chips break, contacts corrode. It's there as a backup. (And yes, this totally defeats
