This is why there needs to be a change in the law. It should be unlawful to take the results of publicly-funded research and lock it away behind the paywall of a private company who contribute nothing.
Pass the law, and publish-behind-paywalls-or-perish will perish overnight. Well-behaved replacements will emerge. We know this is possible, as the open access movement is already making some progress.
You're forgetting commuters. The advantage of a mobile device is, well, its mobility. If you want to watch Netflix on a train, your PS3 isn't an option, and even your laptop might be too unwieldy. No-one choses the eye-strain of a mobile device when a full-size alternative is available.
Netflix recently enabled download-to-view-later on Android. This presumably cost them a bunch of licensing hassle (only some videos are available to download), so they clearly take seriously the mobile platforms.
If you really want to rip Netflix, just use Chrome on Linux. You can screenshot Netflix in Chrome on Linux without issue, so I'm assuming the framebuffer is totally 'unprotected'; you can presumably just capture the video through the usual means.
Choudary isn't totally insignificant. His proselytising has sent people oversees to support the terrorist cause. Removing him is a victory, and it's not either-or.
In our defence, we did manage to imprison Anjem Choudary. (He's a slimy ISIS supporter who always tried to stay just within the law. He screwed up. I find this awfully satisfying.)
But they do it for a reason: their short-term bottom-line. It's a tragedy-of-the-commons situation.
Each ad company benefits by being scummy. It harms the ad ecosystem overall, and wouldn't happen if there was a monopoly where only one ad company existed.
Are you just being obtuse? It seems perfectly clear that buchner.johannes was referring to the elimination of a copy-to-userland copy-back-to-the-kernel roundtrip.
Sounds like someone went way too far down the Excel rabbit-hole before realising it was too late to move to a proper relational database.
I'm guessing it was someone with deep pockets, or Microsoft would've just rightly told them they were out of their minds. Sometimes a use-case really can be wrong.
But no browser is fully compliant, and you know it.
These days the browser vendors are taking the standards pretty seriously (unlike the bad old days), but we still don't live in a perfect world. There's a similar situation in the C++ world too.
Hiding browser flaws is half the reason web development frameworks exist, and coping with browser flaws is part of the job of a web developer.

Just because more vulnerabilities in Windows are known, does not mean there are less total in Linux.
Indeed. But there are other reasons to believe it.
Not really. In principle, any ad which a human can recognise as an ad, a machine can also recognise as an ad.
The issue of 'paid articles' is the edge-case here.

I assumed TechyImmigrant was joking with the 'real language' thing. Could be wrong.
Spare us the 'web design': direct link to image.
I really don't know what you're trying to say. Are you unaware that Netflix allows download-to-view-later on Android (as I just said)?
Respect is not a function of payment.
There is nothing inherently absurd about paying for the time of your superiors. Martial arts is another example of this.

Does that include 'printing' to PDF?
Bonus: You're spared a website's JavaScript bullshit if you read it that way.
I'd recommend a site, but I don't care to steer more ACs their way.
I would diagnose him as OCPD
Did you get your diagnosis from a stranger on the Internet?
No? Then consider clarifying that your 'diagnosis' is nothing more than a passing thought.
Given how toxic extremism is to advertisers, I really doubt Twitter thinks this way.
My money's on one too many coffees.

This is what all backdoors look like.
And perfectly executed assassinations look like accidents, but it's still more likely that grandpa just had a heart-attack.
The point -- as to whether it's likely -- stands.
Possibly you meant moved *by* the application?
Are you just being obtuse? It seems perfectly clear that buchner.johannes was referring to the elimination of a copy-to-userland copy-back-to-the-kernel roundtrip.
As you say, that's just what happens.
Thanks for the interesting link.
Seems to me that anyone dealing with that amount of data for a living no longer gets to play the but Excel is all I know card.

Eh? I was just saying a monoculture would be a bad thing.
