Yes and no.. I would not appreciate someone cutting me off because they need to grab that specific Pokemon. And while I realize that would be more an exception than rule, it would still happen. It drives me crazy enough when people just s

Yeah I did - but I ran into an issue on level 9 (A, B) where I wasn't producing the answer it was looking for but my solution was still technically correct. I couldn't for the life of me 'unstick' myself from my initial

Couple things: 1. Would be nice to have some sort of 'hint' or 'solve' button. 2. Since you have the copy regarding how it's a work in progress, I'd suggest throwing a link to the github issues page so it'

It has always been violated, fortunately we have organizations that take up various fights and do what they can in order to re-establish some sort of order. Unfortunately while it doesn't always work out, that doesn't mean you scr

It could serve as a good spot to start, a document like this if it is going to be collaborated on will require versioning at the least to keep track of changes made. However, something like this should probably start on something that is mu

That's just one of the issues - however like I said, I'm naive enough to believe (and donate/protest/assemble) if there was a strong enough movement for it.

More and more I'm thinking that some sort of Digital Bill of Rights is necessary to carry on in this technological-based World. At first I always thought of it as a nice thing, but perhaps a little too abstract or extreme to really do

They will if this person represents a significant portion of their revenue - just like any action taken by a large company. At least Chris put his opinions out there in public. All too often people complain about a company in every single

I guess you can call me naive. ..and slightly ignorant regarding this HIPAA kerfuffle that popped up. I did some quick [hilarious] research that resulted in an issue where commented copy was being used as an indicator that there was to be

Reminds me of Mr. Gatling, although I don't think Mr. Kalashnikov thought his invention would bring about World Peace.

Any long-term parking vets here? I didn't take a ticket and instead swiped my CC to get into the lot. They repeatedly mentioned to don't lose your card since the day I left is tagged to it (I assume). Given the chaos of this, I
