I don't see anything about any Gods hating gays. Levictus compares men having sex with other men being as big of a sin as cursing your parents or having sex with a woman during her periods, and later in Sodom God decides to murder a to

Apparently they are making (or made already?) it easier to sue people in Turkey for p2p copyright infringement. However, the fact that put.io is still up tells a lot about how effectively those laws are enacted. http://adventures

What's the catch? I have a few trust issues when someone wants to pay his own money to give me access to mostly illegal content. Somebody just spent time making a torrent streaming service, and is now paying for the bandwidth it takes

The problem is not the engagement as much as trying to sit and pay attention for 90 minutes. You will way better results by having a 5-15 minute break every 45 minutes.

It's very typical for people in demanding positions to learn that even really good ideas are quite common and not even that valuable. Good execution of good ideas is however extremely rare and is also extremely valuable. The above reco

While the value here is nice, I maybe would not suggest investing too much of your time on learning proprietary temporarily free developer tools. There are great open source tools for many developer tasks that are not just good options, but

Oh no, not the Privacy Policy! Seriously though, the presence of a privacy policy gives little comfort when both the website and the Privacy Policy are very careful not to identify who is hosting that domain with Godaddy.
