Ya, it really lacks the integrity that is the underpinnings of the porn industry.

What do you think shallow means? What do you consider to be the opposite of shallow ? Be concise if not for my sake, but for the sake of other people who may stumble upon this thread. My questions are not an indication that I am predispo

Socializing is the opposite of shallowness in my opinion. I refer to the Wikipedia for my definition: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Socialization the problem arises if you try to hard to share that passion with others, and fail. What is

I see Android users are the heir apparent to the OS Persecution Complex. EDIT: I just realized that what I wrote could be viewed as condescending, and I don't mean it be that way. It just saddens me that people can get so attached to a mach

Wow, this takes me back to the first PC operating system flame wars. I remember listening to the most anti-Microsoft vendors at the sidewalk sale in Dallas back in the early 90's who claimed credit for everything that a computer could do. M

That's one way to acquire funding : redefining scientific terms as company brands to drive traffic to social networking sites. On a completely unrelated note, have you signed up for Klout, the completely new and different social net site wi

I clicked that arrow up and am commenting because I started feeling the same way once I turned 30, in fact I'm now 33. Sometimes I am concerned that my beliefs are a measure of my cultural experiences and not arbitrarily based on my success

I'm actually surprised they are doing this as when the OWS protesters left, the problem literally went away. I'm not defending or criticizing the OWS people, but the government's involvement at this point seems to be like someone who believ

In app purchasing is used by many developers as a kind of shareware. What's so insidious about try before you buy?

Open-source the core of the language and license proprietary frameworks of the language. The great thing about academia is you can teach about computer languages using your expertise in creating your own, and you can partner/hire PhD's to w

Hmm, The Monetization of Copyrighted Content without any Licenses sounds more like a service than a software product. Maybe try to obtain license agreements from the copyright holders and put the funding for agree'ed to licenses in the Kick

The obvious answer is that the content being discussed isn't really a meme. They are copyrighted images. The idea of a "Troll Face" can be a meme, surely, but the specific image of a trollface that is widely recognized was obviously copyrig

My advice is to contact "memegenerator, knowyourmeme, and others" and ask them what licensing agreements they have with the copyright holders that allow them publish the content. You may be surprised to learn how much or how little money ch

Problems aren't cool. Problems are problems, but solving problems is more than cool, it is also financially rewarding. This seems more like bug fixing without any financial incentive and the reward is finishing the job application. I don't

A site shutting down seems like a very, very stable ending. Anyway his post didn't seem to me like a rant at all. In fact it read as a very mature and well-thought out article. Odd, that you would be offended. Maybe you have some skin in th

I agree with you completely. The only solution that I can imagine is some sort of DRM like what Apple uses in the App store allowing Users to have lifetime access to the content that they purchased. The DRM acts as a replacement for Regiona
