You'd also be complaining if they labeled it warming or cooling. It's fighting climate science by being a grammar nazi.
Just say "I don't care what happens to the world after I'm gone" if you don't, but stop playing word-games to justify your believes.
The best anti-yelp sites are sites like this and others that help spread the word about yelp's unworthiness of trust.
Give it a few more years and yelp simple won't matter any more; they'll have scammed themselves out of relevance.
/me presses the "Record" button on his memocorder; "So tell me, Bono, how exactly does this non-piratable media format work?".
I tried your http://127.0.0.1/ website and all I see is porn.
At which point they might even have enough money to hire a developer to actually build a site and keep the yearly fee rolling in.
A: "Hey look at this social media website I made last weekend"
B: "Does it have all the features of Facebook?"
A: "No, it was just meant as an experiment and I don't expect anybody would want to use it even if we gave it away for free"
B: "How about we tell everybody it's exclusive and charge a very high entrance fee?"
A: "Great idea, that'd solve the scaling issues too!"
This is commoditization of 3D printing.
No ordering from small companies online or spending weeks finetuning; just go to the local store, unpack it from the box and start using it.
Isn't this what we've been talking about for so many years; printing out spare parts at home and such?
If I see one of my non-techy relatives print out some boring part they need to fix something, I'll go "WOW".
Which will be useful for the average iPhone 6 user in 1,000,000,000..., 999,999,999..., 999,999,998...
Some stupid student had pictures of himself naked with his gay friend in his University home folder!
Some normal student with a sexlife had private pictures in his private University home directory.
although I was tempted to post the gay guys pictures somewhere public.
Why would you do that? What exactly tempted you?
It's not a complete myth, they still exist but, IMHO, they mostly focus on developing the new, exciting, risky and often hopeless ideas.
I'm perfectly happy with corporations focussing on stability, testing, documentation and all the other stuff that goes into actually finishing a project.
Why would you request a fastlane for Netflix? As you can just buffer the video. If it's not fast enough you need a better internet connection.
Current internet connections are fast enough, future ones may not be.
Video file size will continue to increase. Connection bandwidth will not increase if ISP's can earn money from not increasing it.
For fast paced multiplayer games you would request a fast lane, or any multiplayer game really.
For games you mostly need low latency, not necessarily high bandwidth (which is what the fast lanes are about).
But what connections can be fastlaned? If Netflix or Valve have to negotiate for users to have fastlanes, then it will still cause the same problems.
That basically sums up the entire problem. Content providers will all pay extra for the fast lanes, as a result all content providers' traffic will be equally fast.
Internet will be just as fast as it would be with true net neutrality but ISP are raking in a lot of money for doing effectively nothing.
Old plan:
1. Make all internet slow lane.
2. Require content providers to pay for fast lane.
New plan:
1. Make all internet slow lane.
2. Require content providers to pay for fast lane.
3. Require customers to pay in order to access fast lane.
Does the phrase "Insert coins to continue" sound familiar?
Microsoft has finally found a way to mitigate the development cost of Clippie by replacing Minecraft creepers.
The money enables him to make a choice a lot of us would like to make but can't.
He's making a choice to not try to earn any more money, but to only do fun projects.
In that respect it is indeed not about the money, but rather thanks to the money he's already got.
The key elements in human thinking are not numbers but labels of fuzzy sets. -- L. Zadeh
