Why astroturf for a company without payment? They are just asking you to advertise for them, for free! If they want ads on your social media pages, they can pay for it. It's not that hard to figure this out. Go to whoever is managing this request and tell them you will advertise just like any other website, and give them a rate for a daily/weekly/monthly ad, depending on what they want to go with. If they want it to be an outright lie like "this is great, you guys should try it", they can pay you double for putting your name on the line. If they want an actual advertisement, such as a banner or text ad that's put up as such, "this is the company I work for, you guys should support us", as an example, they can pay a somewhat lower rate. Get a brain moran!
He's talking about the idiots who did post comments like that, which were displayed on FB crawler sites that you can easily search with terms like "pearl harbor japan", or "such a nerd".
The OS was likely completely subsidized by the crapware that came with it. They got their OS and 4 years of support for free. Sounds like a pretty good deal to me.
Tracks have generally been priced at $2-3/track in the past, and about $1/track currently (offline or online). It has nothing to do with price and a lot to do with the quality of the product.
It's sad that you're getting modded funny, because this is what most "feminist" women think. The "you go girl" generation's mindset believes that all men, from birth, are rapists - and will eventually rape.
Using a program to grade papers is fine, as long as the teachers are looking over the highlighted errors to make sure they are actually errors, before finalizing the grade/handing the essays back.
Are people now completely unable to think for themselves? It's not like Gawker Media has anything to offer anyone - anything that's necessary in life. In the end, the people that use their sites are dumb enough to agree to anything, which is why this is going to work for Gawker Media, and no amount of "is this a step to far??!??!??!" is going to make any difference.
There are no laws forcing women to show their breasts; in fact, there are probably laws saying they can't show their breasts outside of designated places (such as the beach). There are laws saying that headgear is not allowed to be worn in certain buildings. If they want to wear their headgear all day long, they can go ahead and do it, but it's not happening in any place where the law forbids it. If they don't like that, they can choose to not enter that building, or they can just choose to not go to a country with that kind of law, right? Now, if the law was that women must show their breasts, people would have to follow that, wouldn't they? If you don't like the law, don't go there. Are you going to whine about men with long hair being forced to cut it when going to a country where long hair on men is illegal? Going to whine about people going to jail for spitting on a street? Why not?
You low-UID users are really hitting home my belief that nearly all low-UID accounts are either purchased by astroturfers, or by children who think a low-UID account means something / makes them cool. Why, you ask, do I believe this? Every single time I see a low-UID user's post, it reads as an advertisement, or the poster has absolutely no reading comprehension, and/or the reply is just completely uninformed. I don't think any Linux group is actively buying low-UID accounts in order to astroturf, but you have definitely written a mentally challenged comment in reply to a post that you obviously didn't comprehend.
It's a good thing he said it's a "tinker-toy desktop OS" and not a tinker-toy server OS. You need to go back to kindergarten to get yourself some reading comprehension skills.
Their every incentive is to act against the interests of their customers in important and major ways.
You've gone full retard. How is a software developer going to make sales if he makes software that doesn't do what his customers want? Did you buy your account just to make mentally challenged posts like these? I refuse to believe that your posts are anything but trolling, they are just way too fanatical.

It's a good thing your male friend is interested in getting lap dances from other men.

Just the simple fact that he will document the entire process puts him above the rest, for me.
Yeah, SCTV is definitely better than KiTH.

These days, IE9 is a better browser than Firefox. Chrome is better than Firefox. Opera is better than all of them. Why are people still using Firefox?
Every time I report some child pornography on a Blogspot blog, the report gets ignored. Google is horrible.
The huge majority of police officers in the USA have never worked any cases of that type and never will.
The huge majority of cops are not working anything even close to a murder case, and will likely never work a murder case in their entire careers.
I think having both is the better option.
If every boyfriend has the name on the phone's contract, every boyfriend has full rights to have the stolen phone bricked.

That's an interesting program, thanks.

You do realize that your computer's hardware is also made by companies like Foxconn, right?

I hadn't heard of this non-story, and I still don't care.
