Excellent! Looks like a mod took pity on the English language and changed the title to match the linked article.

You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means: > unserviceable — adjective > not in working order or fulfilling its function adequately; unfit for use. Is the submitter arguing that the closed nature of t

I didn't see any per-feature limitations for device support, only "iPhone 3GS and above." Does this mean that Siri is coming to the 3GS and 4 models?

I'm glad to see that Stripe has lit such a fire under their competitors. I'm new to the payment gateway scene—can anyone with experience give a comparison of Stripe vs Braintree's APIs?

The author's attitude that very few Americans are "intelligent, mature," and "[respect] life deeply" impeach his opinions on both logic and geopolitical topics as far as I'm concerned: > It is typically Americans who display this attitu

OT, but for god's sake -- he's the President of the United States. How many times can you misspell his name in one article?

@karunamon Sorry, no. There's normalization due to changing norms and morays (e.g., "shit"), then there's normalization that's designed to subordinate a group (do you see many whites calling an unfamiliar black man "boy"?). This is much mor

No, I don't buy that at all. It's unfortunate that it has moved to the common usage, because it is equivalent to "when you complain you sound like a woman, and that is bad." People should learn to speak respectfully instead of normalizing l

Fuck, I don't give two shits about "controversial" language--but overtly, aggressively sexist language? Fuck that.

Anyone else surprised that the use of "bitch" as a verb is suddenly acceptable journalism?

Fair enough, apologies for the snarky attack. The caveat is hard to make out, though the asterisk is quite obvious.

Um, except that's "Everything you need to be evil*". The asterisk clearly references this: "for self reference only. Don't break the law!" (EDIT: removed snark)

Contributing to open source projects, attending user groups in my spare time, and mostly reading books about coding and productivity do NOT mean that I allow my employment to penetrate deeply into my personal life. I allow my interests and

I agree with the other commenters that this should work "from me, out", meaning show me the most local, then state, then federal. Also, please include a note on each page indicating where biographical data comes from. I was (1) surprised to

The State of Oregon went through a similar situation in 2008. Justia.com was mirroring the Oregon Revised Statutes, and was served a cease & desist—not because the State claimed copyright over the laws themselves, but rather over the me

Okay, I'll give my non-sarcastic response :-) I think you're contradicting yourself when you first complain that "there exist no general mechanism to embed information from sources that don't expose such embed codes," but then say that your

Unless this allows you to access a Mac that has FileVault disk encryption turned on, without the key, it's a red herring. Also, today's FileVault is a completely different technology than the previous home dir encryption (which AFAIK was ne

The point is, the best way to improve suboptimal behavior in an open source project is to engage with the project and advocate changing the behavior. If there is truly a defect, or a behavior that so needlessly violates the principle of lea

It's amazing to watch how hard the author fights in the comments to keep his thesis ("never use IDs in CSS") intact, in the face of very sound reasoning that shows his position to be too strict.
