no. however it already clicks things.

its a pain, but realistically, the needs of each community are often best served by that community.

either a quick out of court settlement (which is most likely what the plaintiff is hoping for) or they will fight it since its not very likely that the low volume sale fyretv will be losing customers based on confusion of amazon's firetv

>> they obviously don't have anyone technically competent enough to handle online banking

You shouldn't assume the people in charge of the marketing/support channels are in close contact with their actual technical department. Albeit its awful they are saying what they are saying, since it is misleading, but what you are saying isn't necessarily true at all.

Its quite common for politicians to be business people as wel. I wouldn't say that many "pure politicians" sit on boards, though.

this isn't a blog post

Was expecting this to actually be https://github.com/spumko/confidence, from WM Labs. Strange both would choose the same name for A/B testing

I believe it means that seems that you are implying mozilla donated money to anti-gay lays, as opposed to the individual.

Any idea how it compares to http://gildas-lormeau.github.io/zip.js/ ?

buddy of mine in south philly (by the stadiums) has fios at their full speed.

its gorgeous, but discoverability seems...low. I know for a fact my parents would never be able to figure this out, which would mean that car manufactures would be less likely to use something like this. Their menus are ugly overcrowded and skeuomorphic because it replicates the analog version of the same thing. It means people understand it as a button.

That being said - absolutely gorgeous and I wish I could have it in my car.

we are talking purely about visual presentation, which means that 'older browser' support isn't really an issue. everything could have been done with images (as bad of an idea as that is) and support IE 5, if you wanted to.

Wonderful advice once there is a bit less red - http://caniuse.com/#search=grid

grid is not supported on most locations, at the moment.

its a tumblog of isaacs. it changes every page load.

It wasn't obvious - hence the question.

skeptical of what?

Nonsense. If you want to make an app that offers the same functionality of a native app, then vibrate could absolutely be useful. Not to mention a compelling video game experience (what console hasn't used vibration in the last 10 years?)

and a webpage written in assembly would be even more likely to be able to be attacked. Its a silly argument. No one is saying consider C for you next website.

> Probably contrary to common belief here

I don't think that is true. PHP just makes it easy to write anything - including insecure code. And the bigger issue is that the community around PHP often shares code that is insecure without knowing that it is, or why that would be important.

The C argument is a red herring - its not meant for web pages. (web servers, though...)

Rails is not a language. It is a framework. Wordpress has tons of vulns as well.

I agree that "Everything can be a turd in the wrong hands", however, one of the biggest parts of, er, "turd prevention" is the culture and tribal knowledge around a language and best practices. PHP struggles with that because it is so easy to learn and so easy to do something bad.

no one said 'be made'. He said the average joe should acknowledge that it is a good idea. Previously I have suggested other people reinstall to get rid of bloatware installed by the vendor.

its a terrible thing for them, but hopefully only a temporary one.

it'll be a shitty couple of months

1. its not permanent. these type of things are usually for 60 days. see (http://readwrite.com/2012/01/03/google_forced_to_punish_itse...) 2. If everyone is "doing the same", then they are all likely to be punished equally, since they are taking active movements against it.

I think people are assuming that because rapgenius is being hit, no other lyrics sites are

That is not addressing it, it is projecting his own bias into a situation he doesn't know. You are assuming because it types slowly, it isn't worthwhile to have all of wikipedia, google, and every other website out there available. For someone who has never had a smartphone, having the internet on your phone could be a TREMENDOUS deal.

I reallllllly think this author misses the point of firefox os. it is not meant to "take on android" it is meant to take on feature/dumb phones. People who store their contacts on their sim card, and pay for things using SMS.

I am only someone with a cursory introduction to docker, but I do believe that a 6 month old introduction is very old for something that has changed so rapidly.

I think you are overestimating the jailbreaking population. most of the people I know who jailbreak have very little technical knowledge at all. they just want to change their font, or keyboard, or something else of that nature. In fact not a single one of the people I know who actively jailbreak their phones probably even know what "open source" means, let alone the importance thereof

really neat designs. its a shame the url doesn't reflect a specific month when viewing the site - it'd make it a lot easier to share.

It means they will control the root nameservers. They have the ability to choose who gets it and to what. In theory, they have no obligation to charge anyone.

What I did (before I got someone to pay for it for me :D) was buy an iPod touch on craigslist. Got it for like $80. It was a big stretch, financially, at the time, but the hours upon hours it saved was well worth it. You can also sometimes pick up iPhones with bad esns/cracked screens for a lower than normal cost.

'Course all of that assumes you would need more than 2 months worth of debugging on browserstack.

Good luck, either way
