Starbucks doesn't exactly charge for the wifi here in Mexico, but you must enter the user id and password you get in your purchase ticket. Several other places do that too.
The only difference, is that Starbucks also allows you to plug in your laptop to the AC.
So a lot of people buy a small cup of regular coffee and stay four hours in a comfy seats...
For roleplaying game character sheets, there are a ton of fields that are dependent on other fields. Javascript lets you enter your dexterity score, for example, and your dexterity mod, defenses, and dex-based skills are all updated accordingly.
That sounds like a nice sheet. Could you post a link to it?
Although it is disappointing that Google has not shared many of their improvements to GPL'd software, it is important to point out that, since said modified software is used exclusively in-house and not distributed, Google has not broken the license.
the problem is not humans struggling to respond...to body language, the problem is humans using such an ambiguous form of communication when they could make the effort to be explicit with words.
The answer here would be that I can already share my music tastes or today's breakfast (maybe because I'm blogging about music or posting a restaurant review), IF I WANT TO.
No one should force me to disclose personal information to the authorities without a judicial order, much less to a private corporation.
Once Google stops being open and starts trying to lock me into their services, then I'll be worried
I agree with you in general terms, but that particular phrase gave me the shivers...
First they came for the communists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a communist; Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a trade unionist; Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—because I was not a Jew; Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak out for me.
-Martin Niemöller (1892–1984)
And how is creating a.ps file from your application and "cat"-ing it to the printer from the command line more convenient to the home user than just selecting "print" from the application itself?
I'm sure there are a lot of specialized uses for postscript, and they justify the higher price for those who need them, but my point remains that postscript is not needed when your printer is directly supported by cups
I'm curious, why do you need Postscript if you are within that price range (which suggests you are a home user, not a graphics professional)?

Dominance over a small fraction of a large enough market can be a very lucrative proposition...
Never knew there were space whales in Star Trek... my bad.
Linux operating systems are better thanks to you and your contributions.

Even here in the third world, when we pay the Tenencia (annual car tax) we have the option to pay it via credit card.
You can even find some banks/stores where you can pay it in six monthly installments with no interest, as long as you use their card.
Of course, even with those options, the old farts still go and stand in line to pay in cash or with a check...
Vader is altering the terms of the contract. Pray he doesn't alter them any further.
Well, according to TFA, All-Nippon Airways (famous for their Pokemon planes) are the first customer that will receive delivery of one...
Since this is a plane designed for small-volume, long distance flights, it's possible they might use it on one of their Japan - US routes.
He's voicing an opinion.
To paraphrase Harlan Ellison, he is only entitled to his opinion if it is an informed opinion.
Bah, I am not planning on opening it on Windows with Adobe Reader, anyway...

A voice-recognition interface is great at the beginning, until it mishears you during a conversation, causing it to DELETE an important FILE
