Such kind of blog posts are best written a year or two, where you have evidence that Microsoft will not be able to kill your business. In fact, I hope it happens and wish you all the best that your business grows and thrives. Otherwise, no

I don't think the original article or people who despise Ad blocking software (like me) question the right of people to use ad-blockers. All we are saying is that economics and free markets will eventually take care of the problem, and

Your comments are hypocritical - you are ok to allow companies with big budgets (e.g. Google) to pay off the makers of Ad Blocking software and continue to pay for these big budgets, while you are not ready to view a couple of ads on a smal

Given that you have used the newspaper analogy, flipping over is not same as blocking ads - most of the time I do not even care to look at what Google shows me as ads as part of search results - that is the equivalent of flipping over. Bloc

I wish I could upvote this a 1000 times. As most of the commentators do not care about the business model of publishers, publishers should actively fight back and prevent these people from viewing any of their content at all.

And yet, in 2013, I had to search in Google for hours, read a lot of documentation and tweak a lot of settings in order to 1. get AMD / Intel switchable graphics working in Ubuntu 2. stop the CPU fan from making too much noise!! Window

Huh? You are making it sound that EE answer ranking highly in Google is EE's fault and not the Google search algorithm. I would argue that almost any useful programming question I search for has SO as the first link which is then "

You should change "Experts Exchange were dicks to users" to "Experts Exchange were dicks to users who want all their content for free". A lot of people, including me, have derived extreme value from EE over the years. An

I am not familiar with the history of this project, but why was Apache trying to re-create the C++ standard library at all? Given that in GNU/Linux systems, the canonical implementation is the one provided by GCC (G++), and Microsoft p
