It means that Stallman likes being disgruntled even when the stakes are so low. Stallman calls BSD advertising clauses "obnoxious"[1] but apparently his obnoxiousness over similar issues of attribution and influence are righteous. Lulz. [1]

that's really the problem. Adsense doesn't factor into it... but it should. negatively. truth is, Google has created a superb "signal" that a website is crummy: Adsense. it would be funny if it wasn't so sad. and they can't do anything abou

the issue is one of priorities and it is clear to me that supporting python 2.3, or remaining batteries-included, or backward compatible, or whatever other excuse you can come up with is more important than having modern password security.

next step is to make this the default. unfortunately the django overlords think it's not important enough to be default.

great, maybe now I won't get email or InMail from Google recruiters who employ "passive recruiting" techniques anymore...

that's not an argument about twitter, that's more about the internet and global communication. it would be different without the internet. it would not be different without twitter. even so, the internet only played one piece -- communic

you know that egypt has had the internet cut off for some time until recently right? twitter simply does not matter here. not one iota.

this seems impossible for item pages due to how continuation ids are used for replies

by svlla 16y ago
perhaps continuations could be used more judiciously as well

But... Google is putting in resources toward integrating Flash into Chrome. The Chrome Flash version is actually different than what is even publicly available from Adobe. My version of Flash that comes with Chrome is 10.1.103.19. The

No point in updating the iOS app unless there's going to be hardware support.

Chrome ships with Flash. Flash plays H.264. Thus, Chrome still supports H.264, now it just has to go through Flash. There are Android phones with H.264 hardware support. There are no Android phones with WebM hardware support (software su

There's a difference between hardware designs and actual hardware... Google doesn't offer indemnity for use of the format so why do you think they'd be the only defendant? If Google's so smart like you say, if they're so kind hearted, then

by svlla 16y ago
I take it you are a Flash supporter? Because Flash plays H.264, and Google ships Chrome with Flash. So Google Chrome has not lost the ability to play H.264, it just does so through Flash now. If Google were to stop shipping Chrome with F
