Because I trust some apps more than others. I don't trust my Facebook app to be running 24/7, for example. Also, background apps I no longer care about may affect my battery life.

Amen. It bothers me more than I would like to admit that I can't tell how many applications are currently running on my Android phone. Or then when I press "back", sometimes the application quits and sometimes it doesn't.

There's a window during which duplicate submissions only vote up the original, but after a week or so they show up as normal stories.

I think you'll find that calling a current customer to find out why they are cancelling does not fall under any country's definition of telemarketing.

Makes sense. But that seems way more hackish than just doing it in the HTML.

It's good to see such a comprehensive list, but these only help me if I want to configure download vs view on a per-filetype basis? There's no way to make some pdfs "display" in the browser and others force download using these headers, cor

I know this thread wasn't very well-visited, but your comment ought to be MUCH more highly rated. These are EXCELLENT articles; thanks for posting them!

I managed to hack your last paragraph into 140 characters, in case anyone else wants to tweet it and look smart like I did. "Ebert judged films by their ambitions, eschewing the ivory tower: action films needed but good action while cerebra

"A programmer may try to get you to install Python 3 and learn that. You should tell them, 'When all of the python code on your computer is Python 3, then I'll try to learn it.' That should keep them busy for about 10 years." - Zed Shaw, "L

Well, it would have been a surprise, anyway. (Currently on "page 31" ("location 623 of 7372"). I actually didn't read the article above once I saw the mention of the book to avoid spoilers. Guess I should have boycotted the comments as we

This is a ridiculously helpful blog post and it's right up my alley. I have a single-user (vanity) domain, and hate futzing with databases. The those that haven't read this link: his implementation is done 100% with static files. Clever and

Doctor as in MD? They don't necessarily know much about nutrition, either...

My wife is the same way. She has a PhD in nutrition and is also a registered dietitian, but she just can't muster the energy to argue online with people that have read two articles on Pub Med.

I'm running Ubuntu 12.10 proper, and my version is 25.0.1364.152. And the update hasn't been in the last couple of days, either; there's already a Portable Chrome build of 25.0.

You are mischaracterizing my argument. I'm saying this: 1) This movie is available for sale. 2) I want to purchase it. 3) Therefore , they are obligated to sell it to me. Or, alternatively, I feel I am entitled to purchase a copy. This i

This is the sort-of sentence that some would characterize with the adjective 'entitled'. And this post, at least, isn't 'astroturfing'.

This, I think, is what drives writers to drink. It helps them push through potentially crippling doubt in the quality of their work. Don, I'd recommend you read 'On Writing' by Stephen King, if you haven't already. It's one of the single be

I wouldn't say my position "is in no way different", though I can see how making my statement more dogmatic is convenient for you. "How many students have left your class for another class or another school because parents felt your teachin

I actually ignored your question because it seemed obvious (to me at least) that it would have virtually no effect. I cannot imagine a situation in which the motivation of the student would be in any way affected by the fact that the pare

Basic compliance is absolutely necessary in any working environment. It sounds like you're advocating anarchy as a viable education model. "You are claiming that time-wasting assignments with no educational value are a necessary thing for

I think this shift in word use is natural. Words become popular, and then get overused to the point that using them calls to mind a lot of connotation. To avoid that, speakers looks for a comparable word and start using that instead. Then,
