We do the same with app subscriptions. I may go a month or 2 not using an app. It's always made me question the subscription model. There are times I won't subscribe where as I would have purchased the app for a one time fee.

If a website wants to display an ad and ONLY display an ad, I'd have no problem with ad supported content. It's what's happening underneath the ad I have a real problem with. So, ad blocking isn't really about the ad. I

If anyone can get past the headlines, there is some seriously funny satire in the verysmartbrothas subdomain. I love that they show headlines from the Onion, as well. The theroot.com/tag/news is pretty standard boring news, though

It's always troubling when my brother, the skeptic, sends me such links. I'm not a scientist (neither is he) so I don't know what to make of such articles. I always like to explore contrarian views, but this one doesn't

That's the debate I was trying to initiate! For instance, is it OK to crawl a blog with explicit copyright, save that data, then publish it elsewhere?

Take, for example the referee of the KY game who got his business trolled as well as death threats. I don't think he did anything to "feed" the trolls however he may be irreparably damaged by such people. I don't think y

This is another troubling action meant to chip away at what government transparency we have left. I'm sure that the argument could be made that government agencies are "inundated" with requests that they can't keep up wi
