I'm pretty sure the parent is talking about burning advertisements into the content, where instead of having separate images (content images, and ad images), they are the same images with advertisements baked into the content images, v

I would try to get away with the most minimal thing possible. Ideally I would do the same thing flash games have always done and create a cookie for the user. If they need to login from a different place, I would put a simple 1 line form an

My disbelief still stands. What is the age range for human beings who can't distinguish between commercials and programs? You don't think kids get irritated when they're shows are interrupted by commercials? To me this just c

Couldn't you just sync a folder with your phone (via dropbox or a thousand other apps) and just save whatever webpage the video is on to that folder. If you do it your way, you'd have to worry about text that's associated wit

I'm pretty sure the word "liberties" is used more by the tea party and other right wing movements than by the left. Who is making this argument? Do they have any data to back that up?

According to Howard Zinn in "A People's History of the United States", the political party and electoral system was created as a facade to placate the poor from revolting against the wealthy. It worries me how much of this ma
