Right now we have banks sitting on cash (the Fed is paying them interest on reserves!), and they do not want to lend do to the issues you have cited. The House wants the Fed to act and Fed wants the House to act. The Fed's weapons are weak and the House IS weak. Add to this new taxes and regulation and We Have A Problem. Are they getting taxed on the income from the interest the Fed is paying the banks right now? IDK, does anyone else know anything more about this?
Some companies are wholly supported by this accidental clicking. They make good bank too, sometimes tens of thousands per month. Its not hard if don't mind being an ad spamming douche that adds no value to the internet.
People get REALLY good at ignoring ads. I can click "Ignore this ad" or "Skip this ad" and never have the slightest clue what it was about. I guarantee that people have trained themselves to tune out FB ads and don't even realize they are there anymore. I make money from ads and have not seen a decline.
Wake up and smell the karma asshole! Shit is slowly hitting the fan around here and you still don't get it. Yeah, you will get tired and whiny about "politics" and retreat back into your steam account while the world continues to boil over. We debate things and form a view of the world from these conversations and then hopefully we act on that view, and hopefully we have the courage to change that view if new information makes it invalid. I don't like trying to save the world either, but FUCK, I just want to have a nice happy life, vacation, goof off, and learn, but these assholes won't let me. Something must be done, and it starts with bitching on/.
Yes, but business and finance is the engine which allowed the creation of all this wealth, which of course pays the taxes. You have to be seriously numb or just plain ignorant to deny this. I know that the workers are responsible for the generation of the majority of the wealth in a physical sense, and they deserve to be treated fairly, and upper management fails at this in many orgs. So one can argue the people built it all, and I would agree, but certainly NOT the government. It is just preposterous--whatever that word means.
Believe it or not, these people exist. I would probably not have believed it if I had not witnessed someone like this myself. Someone in academia should study these people.
Amidst the incoherent rambling I suspect, and look up to confirm yet again, that it is Timothy who has posted this trash. Is this the boss's son or something?
I twill probably get to the point where the browser acts like a VM that provides a translation from HTML down to the OS API. the browser is the desktop. Isn't that where we are heading? Look at Windows8/Metro and the tablets. Hell Mozilla is launching a Firefox OS for phones/tablets.
Dude, I don't know what you're talking about. IE9 is trashed and locks up constantly. In our IT department you often hear a mouse slam on a desk with some expletive because someone is trying to access Microsoft's website with IE9. I'm in Chrome constantly and never have a problem and I browse way outside the normal average of 7 websites per day. In fact I'm always testing new web-apps and using bleeding edge tools and libraries and still never have a problem. Firefox can be a little quirky but still better than IE.
Then don't use stupid browser dependent features! Just deal with it. The whole world isn't going to stop improving because you can't get your shit straight.
We need to proceed with this blitzkrieg of updates as long as it is tolerated. I know it sucks but we have serious momentum and a plethora of stuff yet to be done. It will probably settle down in ten years or so. Improved security, improved JavaScript, improved CSS, improved HTML, and the list goes on. I don't know if you noticed, but building serious web apps is just now becoming possible and this arduous march needs to continue to get things right. Web development is starting to become a sane and enjoyable profession because of this constant improvement, and the browsers have to be updated to make this possible.

Wonder Woman. Hello, obvious.
This used to be true. Now we have control over our tools. You notice FrontPage was not listed.
Screw comfortable, if you want to be productive you will eventually need an IDE.

Prices can decline in the face of inflation. Inflation doesn't mean you are really paying more. You need to study economics.
Slashdot ad hosting is done right. There are hardly any ads and they are usually relevant.
I like making money from ads but the thought of spamming, and deceiving people turns my stomach.

Uh, new features not working like HTML5 and CSS3. That's enough.
People ask, it tends to come up, should we just throw our nose up, turn on our heel and walk away?

Mainly the editorial section. There is a lot of good articles in the WSJ, although biased. You will always have bias, no matter what rag.
Read "The Family" and you'll know why it's an outlier. Chilling.

Can't fuckin wait. WebAPI is awesome! Web-app accessing the OS FTW. It's about time.
I don't doubt this at all. Seriously.

Business is going to benefit more than consumers from this rapid fire model. I agree that it can be unsettling, but it is worth it in the long run.
