I did the same thing on some of my sites but I didn't think about facebook tracking, I just loaded my "like" stuff into a div using jQuery so it didn't bog the users down with all the facebook bloat stuff and I didn't need to show their ugly icons until the user wanted to see them - same mechanics, different goal.

You could say the same about the Hurricane story (0024206) on Slashdot. It isn't techy or nerdy, it's only relevant to one city, it's everywhere in the news, why post it?

.com is not a US domain extension, it is a global extension for any country. It means "commercial". There is a .us

Average people do not understand free-as-in-beer until someone explains it to them, so it is a useless term.

Borgle. claimed.

"than" not "then". you just said that you get a feel good vibe after $1500+USD
basically, then means after while than means instead (basically)... Lesson over, let us never see this error again.

"than" not "then"

but they can just change the javascript at any time, and using random methods

incorrect effort at argument. freedom of speech does not relate to random drivel.

Slashdot loves clickbait. time to find a real news site.

Although if ALL web developers DID take a stand against IE, Microsoft would certainly fix IE all the way back to IE6 - they would never risk losing that much share. This will never happen.

"than"

I spent many weeks looking around for the simplest video chat for use with technophobes and computer noobs. http://www.koowy.com/ was the easiest by far. Flash (so pretty much multi platform), one on one is high quality, if they can click a link - they can chat! (click link, click Yes to camera access, you're chatting), no software setup. Private rooms, no BS like most chat sites, group chat also is just as easy but not as good quality (but still fair). I don't expect the site to stay normal forever, but it is pretty old. I also don't know if they record everything, I'd assume that one on one is P2P but I have no idea.

"free as in beer" 1. beer isn't free, so there's a cost to open source? 2. free beer is stolen? so open source means stolen? 3. you can only drink beer once, open source is one use only? 4. most ambiguous statement ever. trust software devs not to notice that no one gets it.
