I don't see how evolution has anything to do with your theory.

Furthermore I doubt that the motivation behind arguing about 'pointless' topics is to sway the population to your side so that you can benefit.

Unfortunately, however, I do not have an explanation as to why people may argue over such topics though I suspect that it may be related/due to cognitive dissonance. There is a conflict between what they have concluded and what someone else has concluded. This could be for many different reasons such as different needs, different preferences, or different skills, but on the surface someone else has made a different choice for what seems like a similar task.

Perhaps there is a market for some kind of service that allows you to make small 5 or 10 cent charges. All of these charges are grouped together and you make a payment at the end of the month in one go so the the fees are reduced.

Or it could work the other way round, you top up your 'account' with amounts from, let's say, $10 upwards.

This could be monetized by charging businesses to integrate your service into their products.

There are other costs involved besides commodity components. Developing and producing a new input method costs more than the cost of the components.

Possibly, but it's not really relevant.

GPU becomes a lot more important if you are going to be using the laptop for gaming.

Ultimately they serve two different needs and therefore two different markets. For one person the Macbook is a no-brainer, but for someone else, the Razer laptop is a better choice.

You say 'discover what mistakes [users] are making' but explaining why would be really helpful. Perhaps to allow me to identify typo-domain names that I should consider purchasing. Or maybe I could use your product to research ad keywords to purchase.

It looks like you have a really polished product, but I'm not entirely sure on how and why I should use it. I'd expect that information to be the most prominent thing.

I understand the meaning behind "as soon as you're born you start dying" but that phrase really irritates me because, well, you're not really. You're growing, new cells are being created, new memories being made... I'd say that's pretty much the opposite of dying.

Could someone please explain to me why this is such a big deal?

Let us assume that Jonathan is deceiving us and that this is a marketing ploy... what does it matter? We haven't been conned into spending our time or money on anything. The card still works in the same way.

Now, if Jonathan is telling the truth then it sucks for him to be treated in this way. It seems to me that there is nothing to lose by believing him.

Sure, it sucks to be misled and I'm sure it hurts some people's pride to think that they are prone to being tricked but ultimately we don't lose anything!

For me it comes down to a nice example of how generous some people can be. And if Starbucks are actually the ones topping up the card then yay, free coffee!

I don't understand the logic behind this line of reasoning for predators sleeping a lot.

Predators hunt to obtain food which provides them with calories. More calories must be gained than spent from hunting, otherwise it would be pointless as they would make a net loss and, ultimately, starve.

It is more likely that they hunt less, and sleep more, because hunting has large payoffs, and therefore they don't need to continue hunting for a while.

The first point your link makes is that Drive-by downloads includes user intervention: "Downloads which a person authorized but without understanding the consequences".

Not the kind of error page that I would expect to see for a government website! http://www.alpha.gov.uk/fail

Literary references aside, I personally would prefer the submission title to provide some context and description of the content, it would make it much easier for me to scan the front page.

I assumed the whole scenario was made up until I read the article, yet what I presumed didn't bother me.

Does it really matter if the situation is fictional? It was still an emotive advert and weather the characters were made up, or are real people who I don't know, it doesn't matter to me because the point was still clear.

Could you provide more information regarding the free exchange please? I bought a 13" macbook within (I think) a month of them releasing the new models.

How is life expectancy not easy to measure? (Unless you mean without disturbing them)

The same problem occurs in Chrome on Windows.

I find it really frustrating when a mobile version of a website offers a subset of the features that are available in the 'desktop' version.

If you don't think that a feature is needed in the mobile version, it probably isn't required in the desktop version. Chances are, however, that the user wants all the features available in both versions of a website.

I see it as a positive thing that the media is shifting to using the word 'hacked' as it was intended to be. Sure it may confuse some people but over time it may return to being used exclusively in the older sense.

I don't have any experience with developing lightboxes but couldn't the 'X' button just use javascript to go back in the history (instead of directly hiding the image). Or is that how most lightboxes work but because this one cannot use javascript it is not possible to do so?

I know a lot of non-technical people who install, and even recommend, Chrome because it is "the fasted browser ever". They have no idea about web standards but still have an incentive to try a new browser.

It really frustrates me that it doesn't.

I really like the 5 steps you have on your homepage. They do a good job of providing more detail but still making it sound simple and easy!

Why have you built that website using Flash?

I'm struggling to understand what AppRabit actually does. It claims to "give[s] you an easy way to create web based database applications" that is build on top of Django.

Django already is an easy way to create web based database applications so what does AppRabit add to this?

What font is the line 'users like me' set in?

I was disgusted with my experience with 1and1.com.

Payments to them were not going through, despite me repeatedly trying and contacting them about this. They ended up getting a collection agency to handle the money (assuming that I was refusing to pay, not unable to. Clearly their admin sucks) and I paid double what I should have once debt collection fees were factored in.

I copied that directly from your comment which you have since edited. Why don't you stop being deceptive?

Edit: Wow, you just edited that comment too. If you are going to edit your comments so heavily could you please leave what you originally said at the top of the message.

"They didn't even say that they wouldn't return the phone if they didn't get an official confirmation." That is a ridiculous statement. It is clearly implied.

Furthermore, 'do as we say and you can have your property back' IS coercion. They were forcing Apple to behave in a way that they didn't want to.
