While you may be able to "view html", you certainly can't read and understand it. The Facebook icon in the top right of the header uses CSS to output an "F" (actually Unicode \e8ba) with a blue background.

No, that's actually just a simple icon graphic with a link to Facebook. While some people use the Facebook SDK and plugins, even with all my ad/script blockers turned off, Slashdot doesn't load any Facebook content.
And here is The Onion's description from their web site.
The Onion is the world’s leading news publication, offering highly acclaimed, universally revered coverage of breaking national, international, and local news events. Rising from its humble beginnings as a print newspaper in 1765, The Onion now enjoys a daily readership of 4.3 trillion and has grown into the single most powerful and influential organization in human history.
They also present themselves as an informative source that people use to become informed on topics. How are they not a news outlet?
I've tried Spotify (free version) numerous times since it launched. I've listened to and rated hundreds of songs, but the music suggestion algorithm on Spotify radio just sucks. I'm constantly skipping tracks because they play music I don't like.
I like Pandora, but their selection of music is so small. They tend to play music I like, but quite often it's a lot of remixes of songs I previously rated up.
Another non-scientific poll/survey on the internet that means nothing, but is posted to cause a comment flame war. SPACES! TABS! GREAT TASTE! LESS FILLING!
The computer heater would win, and the refrigerator/freezer would just stay warm. In fact, it would overheat because the fridge would be insulated and trap all the heat inside.
The average person/family can't save up enough money for a down payment on a home in 1 year, so saving $1200 per year is exactly the kind of money that allows you to buy real estate over time.
(1) Agricultural produce; (2) Meat and fish products; and (3) Perishable foods.
While the second half of the statement uses semicolons instead of commas, they clearly use the oxford comma version of grammar rules. Therefore you must assume the first half of the sentence is also using the same rules, so the truckers are right.
If they think some natural process "could explain the appeal of flashing musical baby toys and strobed lighting at raves", they don't know what's going on at raves.
That escalated quickly. I assumed they were talking about how ashamed I am about that spaghetti code I wrote for my client last week, not killing people.
I've always been a Nintendo guy, but they just don't keep up anymore. For me to upgrade from or to any console, here's what it needs so that I don't have a stack of devices sitting under my TV.
A device that supports full HD (or possibly 4K now).
Support playback of DVD/Blu-ray
Can also be used as a streaming device for TV content (Netflix, HBO Go, etc.)
Stream from my PC/mobile device to my TV
Has DVR functionality (Anyone? This seems like such an obvious feature for a device with a hard drive that connects to your TV, but no one does it.)
Was Nadella trying to twist the word "open" in the context of an IT talk for his own benefit? Probably.
You mean "open" in that users, IT, and developers are all allowed to use it?
Neither I nor the article said "allowed".
Is someone keeping Linux and macOS sheltered from any of these groups?
Sure, capitalism and the free market is.
Linux is free and people still choose Windows over it. I'm not saying it's better, but anyone can use Linux yet they don't.
Businesses would rather spend their budgets on Microsoft/Windows licenses than use a free product.
I'm sure they exist, but I've never seen a company (outside of graphic design and some IT departments) that used anything other than Windows machines for their workstations.
While their network/web may run Linux, most business/productivity platforms run on Windows servers. You want to make sure your network stays up, use Linux. You want your employees to get work done, you use Windows. It's not the best option, it's the only option.
Also keep in mind that Nadella was speaking to CEOs and upper management IT, so he was speaking to a business audience. Linux barley even has a foothold, let alone a platform for business users outside of the IT department. You can argue why, or talk about how evil Micro$haft is, but people are still choosing Windows over Linux by huge margins. So what's more open in this context? Something that everyone uses, is familiar with, has at home and at work, or something when you bring it up, the person says, "What's Linux?"
He never said "open source", just "open" then went on to say that the platform is open to users, IT, and developers. By that definition, Windows is more open than Linux because no matter how hard you want it to be true, Linux is not open to normal users. The "year of the Linux desktop" still hasn't arrived.
How is the site offering security? If a bot can literally crawl/scrape your site, then given enough time, that is something a human could do as well. How is that data secure in any way?
You joke, but the Olympic Mountains are actually referenced in the United States code related to the Olympic Committee. Based on my reading (IANAL) it seems that it would be illegal to name a new skiing business after the mountains if it didn't exist before 1998.
Because social media/blog/web site best practices tell you that if you ask a question in your post you tend to get more responses. That means more page views. That means more ad views. And it worked - you commented. Sucker.
Oh, you asked a question and I answered too. Sucker.
Slashdot Mirror
Excluding Marvel cartoons, the only Marvel movies on Netflix (streaming) from the past 10 years are Doctor Strange and Captain America Civil War.
The only Star Wars film on Netflix is Rogue One.
Oh, good. Because if there's one thing missing from the world, it's another messaging app.

It's not coal/gas/other power plants causing low birth weights.
Lack of gamma rays from nuclear power plants is preventing new Hulk-sized babies.

Sequel != Remake
Do you want to create a black market for cigarettes? Because this is exactly how you'd start one.
If they think some natural process "could explain the appeal of flashing musical baby toys and strobed lighting at raves", they don't know what's going on at raves.
Uber literally markets their driving jobs as a "side hustle". I've never heard them claim you can make a living doing it.
That escalated quickly. I assumed they were talking about how ashamed I am about that spaghetti code I wrote for my client last week, not killing people.

That would get me to pull out my credit card.

Maybe idiots buying 4K TVs which can play all that non-existent 4K content will bring down the price of "normal" HD TVs.
Oh, how clever you are!

Gee, you can't fit all 100% of programmers into a small geographic area? Some of them don't want to live there? What a crazy world we live in!
I'd bet 90% is a bit low for an estimate. Probably more like 99% of software developers work outside of Silicon Valley.
