Nah, they've been full-on for a long time... I realized this when they released a film called "Chickens are people too". The obvious reply to that title is: "No, they aren't."
A single library has you hating the entire language?
PHP is fast, easy to develop on, widely supported and very well documented...
Yeah, you can make shit PHP code (and there's a lot of shit programmers out there), but that doesn't make PHP bad.
Can you name me an alternative to PHP that is as easy to work with, that is equally powerful and does not require a dedicated machine to run, or root access (as a web service)?
Is it worth trying to fix a system that isn't broken?"
This past federal election cost $290,000,000.
For a country of ~34,000,000 people.... that sounds pretty broken to me (that works out to $9 per ballot assuming every single person voted, which isn't the case).
Riight, so when Jesus died and cursed out to his father (who is actually himself), he was just talking to himself, right?
How about angels? They're supernatural, immortal, can fly, have super-human powers, people pray to them... that pretty much fits every criteria for a god.
They don't accept evidence as verification, only "published sources" which use inaccurate speculation and second-hand information.
When I tried to bring up on the "Christianity" article that it was actually a polytheistic religion (due to the "Trinity", devil, angels.. etc), I was hounded by a bunch of zealots who claimed that there was no credible citations that it wasn't monotheistic... Apparently because Christians claim to be in a monotheistic religion, makes it so...
At what point are we going to just throw our hands up and allow google to control every aspect of our internet experience?
So far:
-Dominating search -Branching off into the world of ISPs (with their new fiber in Ohio) -DNS -Hosting/CDN -Browser -Social Media -Image hosting -Email -Chat/Video/Phone
The way things are going, they will literally become the internet. Everything single page request you make will involve google in some way...
As it stands, I'm pretty sure 90% of the websites I go to have at least one js request, whether it be from adsense or analytics...
Having a single corporation controlling the internet scares me. Don't forget, Google is a corporation and cares more about profit than anything else.
>They are pyramid schemes that depend on an exponential population growth that hasn't been happening because people just aren't fucking like they used to.
What the hell are you talking about?
Social security is a pension plan where people pay into it their whole lives and get money back when they retire, how is that a pyramid scheme? Exponential growth? Good job pulling that out of your ass.
The only flaw with medicare/medicaid system is that it has not been paired with a rise in taxes. If you're going to provide medical coverage for a large group of people, they need to be taxed accordingly for the service provided (like every other sane country does). The solution isn't to get rid of the programs, since both are very useful programs, the solution is to actually pay for them with appropriate taxation.
The problem with the US right now isn't "big government", it's the idiot electorate that wants tons of services and doesn't want to pay for it, so they keep electing people who promise to be able to pull that off somehow (which of course they can't).
In the end though, its the exponential SS and medicare/medicaid liabilities that will kill us.
Bullshit. Wars that cost trillions of dollars will be the end of us. Get rid of social security and watch how fast it plunges the US into mass poverty as the elderly suddenly can't pay any of their bills.
Now you're catching on... massive corporations will own the rights to everything, then will form a conglomerate (or simply merge), then the rich will control your every move.
Are you seriously implying that Samsung released a phone in Feb, Apple saw it, copied it, tested it, mass produced it, advertised it and released it... 4 months later?
What happens when the RIAA leave a trap on the piratebay? If they had a watermarked mp3 that you download, then put in the icloud... suddenly you've made it obvious that you downloaded it from the piratebay...
URLs are in fact for data, that's the key difference between GET and POST. GET is for storing values in the URL, which makes it very easy to share a session with a different computer via URL...
Some sites do go overboard and have thousands of characters, but that's pretty rare.

REMINDER: EAT UP MARTHA.
Yes, Samsung clearly didn't copy apple... not at all..

Better shut down google...
Quick! I need to click the link for the Apple story, then post about how I don't care! This is a great use of my time!
His anecdotal evidence clearly trumps the data being compiled by an analytics company that surveys thousands of websites...

Saving the file and hitting reload in your browser, that's easy to work with.

We should also let people pollute as much as they want... fuck everyone else but me.

"News for nerds", does a terrorist in a European capital count as being of interest to nerds? I think it does.
The list lies. I tried merging two identically named folders and I was never given the option to merge. :(

End game.
Google is just as tight about their search results as FB is with their userbase...
You know this because you're already using iCloud? That's funny, I thought it was only going to be released in the Fall...

Who would coordinate such a "rollback"? It's decentralized and not controlled by any one person or group....
What happens to all the legit transactions that took place where goods/services were exchanged...?
Your proposition is ridiculous.
I was joking...

They should change the URL bar to be limited to 140 chars, that'll make web programmers make their urls more concise and to the point!
>you don't do some asshat thing like shut off automatic updates
Yeah, I have no idea why i wouldn't want a notifications every fucking day telling me i need to restart my computer via pop up every 10 minutes.
