Are there any alternatives? I can't think of any companies off hand who aren't morally bankrupt in at least one regard.

Where's the word "Indefinitely" from? It doesn't mean "as short a time as possible", or am I missing some context?

What a very clever way to test their theory. I'm very curious to see how Microsoft explain this one. Also, why do I now want to buy things with "hiybbprqag" printed on them?

One of the strongest memories I have regarding IBM is from the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum. I visited it on a school trip to Washington years ago, I took with me quite a few very strong memories, and one, was of a machine used b

Am I an idiot for not have a clue what this actually does after both watching the video and reading the FAQ? As far as I can tell it's hyper-local news app tailored to specific protests. People send them messages and they send updates out?

I'm more a fan of simply walking away if I can't afford/don't want to pay the asking price.

I was 7. I probably built something with Lego that was way cooler than a website.

Maybe when something comes along to replace "save"? With the steadily increasing amount of software that auto-saves without you noticing, maybe soon we just wont need to "save" anything. It'll just happen.

Sidetrack: "ramen profitable" finally, a reachable goal for my start-up.

But, that could just mean Digg spotted somebody else was gaming their system and they stopped it.

I'm keeping track of my hours worked, so I have a rough idea of when it'll actually have properly paid for itself. I'm not kidding myself, don't worry :)

I disagree that it offers no value at all. If it did, nobody would pay the $1. Though that's a rubbish answer, and probably accidentally passive-aggressive. So here's a longer one: People in the tech world love joining clubs that give no re

I decided that to be rude rather than offensive, and it's turned into quite the talking point.

I toyed with the idea you can only pay to get somebody else into the Club, and you can't pay if you're already in the club. Mostly just because I thought that would generate some funny dynamics. I think the invitations idea is a good one, t

Cheap, tiny, poorly made, a quick buck and lacking scope? I agree. I think "horrid" is a bit much though, but then I would. It was sort of an experiment for me and if it ever turns any real money I will be using it to build on existing plan

I agree, $0.07 isn't stunning (it's only going to get me a half billionth of my jet), but to break even in such a short space of time I found interesting. Though could it not be considered profit in some form, as I'm working for free on the

As a Brit without a US Visa, probably not. But it's a fantastic idea.

Until I started dating an American girl, I can't say I was ever in a situation where I needed to know how big America was. The US just isn't very significant to the average European.

It's smaller, yes, but not by much. The USA is 9.8 million km^2 and Europe is 10.2 million km^2. Though that does include Alaska. I think the thing that took me the longest to "get" was simply the distances between things. If you'd asked me

I'm a Brit and had a similar moment of realisation when I discovered America wasn't about the size of Spain + France. I think it was the facial expression my (American) girlfriend gave me when I suggested we drive for a weekend away in Flor

As a Reddit Mod, this doesn't seem to counter one of the best defences against people spamming their own content: training the spam filter to hate a specific URL. This system would only seem to work if the URL got through the spam filter, s

I built some fairly clumsy code to fix this on one of the blogs I run. It loaded the buttons in the footer of the page (so you can be reading the article before all the nonsense has loaded) then moves them to the correct places (the foot of
