Not one of the downvoters, but working in (hundreds of) centimetres (240cm) as opposed to meters (2.4m) is not as crazy as it sounds. Tape measures or carpenter's rulers will have centimetres on them all the way. Also, people consider

On the whole, I think she does good work. I'm willing to give her the benefit of the doubt that she genuinely thought the text as proposed would sufficiently protect net neutrality or at least underestimated the holes it left. But even

Same here. Although the games do operate on similar concepts, the differences are enough to make the gameplay quite distinct. Threes is undoubtably the better game. And getting hooked on 2048 made me buy Threes. The people who are amenable

It means the tokens are no longer valid. It's as if the user has disconnected the Kickstarter app from their Facebook account. To log in with Facebook again, they have to reconnect, thus generating a new token.

Reddit has the advantage of having more subreddits than there are word definitions in a dictionary. I'm not sure a subreddit exists for people who enjoy posting videos of pimples being popped, but I'd be more surprised if it doesn

As cool as this is, isn't it a rather glaring security risk? Who is to say that the embedded URL isn't malicious? Or a nefarious tracking link inserted by RIAA/MPAA/whatever? Besides, isn't this rather old news? The
