Regarding the quotes, I actually notice they do work. However the difference is that it doesn't highlight where the string was matched in the search result index page. So for example if you google "Food", all the results _wil

So, just to be clear. Your solution is: 1. move off to the competition who are offering a subpar service; 2. then wait until they eventually catch up in (how many years? who knows..); 3. then profit? Heroku is around, because there is no o

The Cosmological argument was posited by Plato (c. 427–347 BC) and Aristotle (c. 384–322 BC). It has nothing to do with "Islam".. It is comical to claim that some "physicist" has managed to resolve a deeply _philosophic

That's a false dilemma, you are corroborating the actions of extremists with the entire concept of religion. This sounds more like Hitchen's kind of an argument, which is fine for entertainment purposes but it is reductive and pre
