Comment Re:So does this mean... (Score 1) 169

It was just a joke, I move my ball all the time. I usually stop keeping score by the 3rd or 4th hole anyway. I just don't go around telling people I shot a 72 when it was more like 92. As far as I'm concerned, I've just been practicing golf for 20 years. I'll never play competitively, so there's no reason to be able to hit a ball in every possible situation.

Comment Re:Minicomputer? (Score 1) 84

I know we can, but we don't just do it when we feel like it. There has to be some general consensus. I've never seen the term minicomputer used that way. "Mini computer", maybe. The term "nanocomputer" would have been appropriate here.
Definitions of words aren't constantly changing. How confusing would that be? They change once in a while.

I'm not saying they're hard to install, it's that some people are resistant to change. I agree that most people have several chat apps. I do, because some people I know like to use LINE or viber over WA. It's just that there's always seems to be that minority that will only use WA, so I don't really have a choice but to use it if I want to talk to that person

Apparently, they start charging $0.99 a year after a one year trial period. I've been using it for over a year and haven't gotten any notifications about buying a subscription though. They also got an $8 million investment from Sequoia Capital. They don't advertise (word of mouth only), they have less than 100 employees, and spend very little on their website.
