My point about Tumblr is that it's a huge site containing a lot of blogs. Seems like half (or over half) is porn. Most of the other half seems dedicated to rabid fanbases of various bits of pop culture. There's some…
Apparently Reddit is leaking. Tumblr: the scapegoat for everything they don't like.
Thank you!

You're correct. News and Observer (nando.net I think) was a daily visit for me back in the mid 90's. It was the first one I found which provided a full newspaper without being hidden in a walled garden and without…
A few years ago I remembered the name of the MUD I played in college. Found it was still online. Couldn't remember my old pw so I created a new character and 'finger'-ed my old character, the one who almost caused me to…
And what's wrong with that? As long as the attention-seeking is not hurting anyone, then this is probably a great way to find and meet like-minded people. He's not hurting anyone. If he truly enjoys the Newton, then…
I've always thought if the DRM can be easily removed, then it's the same as not having DRM at all. Every purchase I've made from Amazon has the DRM stripped and the files placed in a personal backup. On occasion, I'll…
We were in a crunch to get version 2.0 out. Had the weekly progress meeting with the director. He had received some feedback from our remote sales team and he read one out loud that he thought was particularly funny.…
I think you're on to something huge and important. Some years ago I was working for an educational software company. We sold directly to schools. As expected, we'd get a lot of feedback from teachers using the product.…
No one is outraged because Adobe makes money. That's quite a ridiculous assertion. What some people want is pay once and be done with it. Ownership vs. Rental. When a consumer can afford to own but is forced into…
When I had a brief interest in Buddhism, I looked into the local zen center. Which had a convenient list of prices. Quite high prices as I remember. The Cards Against Humanity people are selling nothingness at a…
Because Putin doesn't want to see tensions rise and have the situation go out of his control. There's nothing for him to gain by blaming Turkey or be pushed into a direct confrontation with NATO. I mean, he seems to…
Russia's initial reaction was to place the blame on insurgents and not Turkey. Even after Turkey claimed responsibility, Russia essentially said: "Are you sure? We really think it was the rebels. Hint. Hint." [1] So…
You're going to accuse jwz of not understanding the internet? I'm going to assume you have no idea who jwz is.
It's not as bad a dilemma as you think. Buy the doritos and buy the fresh food too. You show respect for your employees by respecting their wishes and you show you care about them by offering healthier options.
>but the right for an evangelical Christian to avoid people they see as ultimate sinners who could soil them and send them to hell for eternity is completely disregarded and not tolerated at all. If there are any…
I'm not sure how you can see "tits or GTFO" as a fair response when so many on 4chan readily identify themselves as male with no consequence. Furthermore, they also frequently identify themselves as straight based on…
I can't speak to the public as a whole. But in my circles, there was a lot of interest in the TDI's and similar. With the lower sulfur diesel widely available, there wasn't a perception of VW style diesels being worse…

That is a huge problem. A better solution would have been an app which takes a url and shows a sketch of triangles or squares which the user can then write out. Such an app could work offline as well.

Very true. There's a lot that legal marriage provides which can't be found in a corporation. The idea is that incorporating would provide some benefits and protections that the poly family wouldn't have otherwise.
I honestly wasn't joking at all. It's something I've thought of off-and-on over the years. I could see how a trust would be better, though, in the US at least, I think a corp / LLC might be more flexible. And here,…
