You can, but AT&T has already discontinued the HTC First. If you're lucky you can pick it up for $0.99 before the pull it from shelves.

I see a ton of moleskine cashier notebooks on etsy with nothing more a rubber stamp inked on the front. I know it's different than etching a logo on the back.

What's the criteria for modification. How much must you change an object before it passes. Maybe if he covered it in fake rhinestones he would have been OK.

The trick then is to have something negative happen before the tunnel that isn't so dangerous to other drivers.

And lastly a large flashing sign, or water sign, saying there is tire damage up ahead. Then have tire damage spikes come out of the road. It's the drivers responsibility to not damage the tunnel or bridge. Better to damage some cheap tires on a truck than the tunnel.

This is the thing I always wonder. Did they change it because it test better, or does it test better because there is already a girl culture of cute pinkness.

Nature vs nurture sort of thing.

It could be a bug introduced with the most recent Jelly Bean update.

> will prevent me from wanting to get to know them, to interact with them beyond a strictly professional capacity.

And you have thus wasted an opportunity to educate them in the error of their ways.

Also their basic SSL Cert is only about $16 USD. Very reasonable.

For me it's the little things. I use the keyboard constantly to move around my code. I switched to SublimeText2 for a couple of days and the 1 second of added time it took to move my hand to the mouse to move around or use a gui interaction really slowed me down. It really surprised me how that little bit of time was just enough to break my flow. So when I say vim makes me faster, I mean that it itself is fast enough to keep up with my train of thought.

Right now not using G+ isn't hurting publishers. Those that do use it get a little bit, but not enough that they have to use it. Google is playing the long slow game with this. By the time everyone has to use G+ to stay relevant in the SERPs everyone will be.

Depends on how the execute this. If they turned it on like a switch I think it would fail. But it seems they are slowly allowing verified authors in G+ to affect search rankings. Slowly people will see this and want to get in on the action. Slowly people will migrate to G+. If you look at how Google has handled G+ you will see that is exactly what they are doing.

When you see someone's photo next to a search result and "by Person Name" that "by" is a link to their G+ profile. Even though the search result could be linked to a blog post on another website.

G+ can't be avoided for too long. Google is using it to tie together Author Rank, which helps for SEO. If you want your content to rank higher post-Panda update you'll leverage G+.

You're not crazy, you're spot on. As long as a new user understand vim insert and command mode (and how to :w) then they should be as productive as if they were using any other editor.

When I started learning vim all I knew were the command modes and how to move around using hjkl. Slowly over time I added more commands.

The real win will come if Google is able to have VP8 adopted as an MPEG standard, like the article states.

It's a real technical "win", but it doesn't look that way. It's just a marketing problem now. Google needs to spend their resources pushing VP8 into everything now.

Actually, I really love the annotated text configs. It's like I'm talking directly to the developers.

Disclaimer: my personal experience is managing Linux machines.

I think it's easier to manager a service on Linux that has one, or maybe two, text files for configuration. They often ship with every option available, even is commented out, and a little note detailing exactly what the option is for.

My only real experience with Windows Server was having to add a new mime type for .fla files for IIS. The .fla were downloading instead of playing. The option was buried deep in in multiple configuration windows and dialogue boxes. It took forever compared to what a simple AddType would have taken in an Apache text file.

The trick will be if they can position FirefoxOS as a capable product parallel to iOS and Android without letting the cheaper price tag tarnish it's image.

Because that's what Mozilla keeps telling me.

> Consumers don't care about technology ideology. Native vs web, NOBODY CARES!

You are absolutely correct. And when they sell these for $50 a pop in Africa, South East Asia and Brazil people will be happy they didn't have to buy the $600 iPhone or Android.

These devices aren't even schedules to arrive in the US till mid to late 2014. And by the time they do they may have a strong enough foothold with developers and existing websites to have leverage with the US carriers.

But then you look at Daily Mail[0] and see they do nearly the opposite of Forbes. They have a lot more content than they have ads, and they are profitable.

You said.

> The contents of those scriptures have been retranslated countless times. Besides this fact, they were only written down about 500 years after Gautama Buddha died. Third, the words that were written down were those as transmitted by ordinary people, who had a huge gap in level of consciousness between them and Buddha, so they didn't understand exactly and didn't write down Buddha's exact words.

This could be true.

> Buddha said that he never taught anything of his own.

What is your source for this? How do I know that your source hasn't also been re-translated countless times? How do I know it wasn't only written down 500 years after Gautama Buddha died?

The majority says that the Buddha taught that we could end our suffering in our life. You say he didn't. You say he taught something else, but you offer no evidence. I'm just wondering what your evidence is.

edit: I truly mean no disrespect in this. I'm just curious.

Thanks for the reply. I'm still not convinced. Yes it's possible that the scriptures are inaccurate. What source do you pull your reasoning from and what makes your source more accurate.

> If I had failed using my own money, I could live with it. But having a team of investors believe in you, only to let them down is an incredibly difficult thing to deal with.

You shouldn't feel bad about this. Investors should know there is risk in any investment.

> He absolutely did not teach people that it's possible to eliminate suffering while alive

Did the Buddha teach the Four Noble Truths? The third noble truth about the "cessation of suffering and the causes of suffering". How can what you say be true then?

I think it has more to do with influence. Is her choice of topic influenced by her affiliate links? Would she write about a topic if there were no affiliate links to be had. Is her topic influenced by the reward of the affiliate link, would she chose a pricier product to link to over a cheaper link.

The OP is upset because they believe Maria Popova is being influenced and is not being open and honest about how she is being influenced.

"easy grab", exactly. Hiring ex Opera employees who worked on a rendering engine will be cheaper than hiring c++ coders who then have to ramp up knowledge on how to code a rendering engine.

I wonder how many of these Mozilla will pickup on the cheap.

Browser rendering engine seems such a specialized skill, where else could these people go?

It sounds like they are following the letter of the GPL but not the spirit. By licensing the PHP under GPL they are complying, but by licensing the CSS and image assets under a restrictive license they are activity trying to hinder the PHP from being useful if it were distributed. As the GPL is designed to do.

Did they really understand the GPL when they built their business on it?
