Opera used to market itself almost exclusively on how it was faster than any other comparable browser. I just had a look on the Opera website and now it says "Faster & Safer internet" yet it performed worst on this test. As the underdog

I can't tell if this is sarcastic. But before I read this post I was going to say how much I love Firefox but regret how they fail to address bugs before implementing new features. 800,000 bugs is nothing to be proud of.

Am I wrong here but isn't all this concern a bit excessive because the only person who can actually sue you for a breach of this license is Crockford.

You can use JS to tell how far the page has scrolled and therefore if an advert below the fold has been seen. They already do this on this particular site to only load images as they are needed.

This doesn’t actually refute your concerns but we’re also in a time with more amateur authors than ever with a lot of them unable or disinterested in making their points succinctly.

Someone else could do this right now. That could be a reasonable startup idea. I’m not experienced enough to know but this seems like it could be in the ballpark of sounding like a bad idea but not being (akin to what PG describes in his bl

It’s rude because avolcano is clearly excited about this premise and rodly is just ridiculing his/her excitement. There’s no objective basis to what is incredible.

The reason I didn’t suggest this is that industry-specific law feels like a byproduct of the lobbyist culture that has lead to many of our current problems and pre-existence doesn’t justify its continued creation. But, overall, I think you’

The pharmaceuticals industry could never have grown so big without patents. That kind of drug research would have had to been done by publicly-funded bodies, such as universities. I kind of feel like this is an argument in favor of this art

Numerous studies have found an hour with a random stranger is just as good as an hour with a professional therapist. Yeah that’s probably because you can’t get much therapy done in one hour; all the gives time for is the therapist to fami
