The different approach is to make ad pages. A page with ads for computers, a page with ads for peripherals, and so on. Possibly with price comparisons for different vendors.
See, this idea I like. Instead of shitting all over hell and creation with increasingly hostile and abusive techniques, I'd love some kind of meta-catalog (these days, I and people I know tend to use Amazon as a make-do, but that brings its own issue). Something like pricewatch, but with a UI that doesn't make me do a double-take to make sure I didn't mistype the URL and end up on some domain squatter's landing page.
That's arguable. The entire point of PDF, before they started hanging bags on it to turn it into a replacement for HTML forms, was to generate a document for uniform printing.
"Expanding with the technology" vs. "Creeping Featurism" is in the eye of the beholder.
If you've got half a clue, you're already not using Adobe, and the goddamn thing should be getting out of your way after the first time you tell it "shut up, I know what I'm doing."
Wanting to download PDFs from the web is "exceptional?" Are you one of those "UX" BSAs?
That addresses part of the privacy concern, but not the fact that some people don't want the goddamn browser "correcting" our typing without asking. At least the command shells these days wait for you to ask for it.
Sure they do. I have an old Samsung Moment (ca 2009, running Eclair) that I've was using in no-cell mode as a wifi "tablet" before I broke down and got an actual tablet.
When did they ban perfume? Last time I flew was about 2 years ago, and I remember one woman who seemed to have spent the night before marinading in the same nasty ostensibly sunflower-scented old lady perfume that my grandmother wore.
On a local or national level, it's exactly the same; remove sociopaths from positions of power and the world will suddenly become a MUCH better place.
Very true. But on a local level, at least, you can get out the tar and feathers.:) Of course, that leads to one very big question: once you remove the sociopaths, what do you replace them with?
"Any person who seeks power should, under no circumstances, be allowed to obtain it." -- Not sure if/where I read that
Uh... that's a paradox. I think you (and the entirety of the Republican party) misunderstood your microecon textbook.
No, I was just unclear. I blame weak coffee. I was referring to the "sweet spot" where price is maximum when graphed over demand. For boats, video games, food, hookers, etc, if you price above that, you start getting into "not worth the price" territory, so profits go down even though the individual sales bring in more money.
That doesn't apply to things like "continuing to exist," which is where the inelastic demand comes in.
Whether having to face the people they're selling out, face-to-face, assists in the development of the mythical "politician's conscience", or just the fact that they know that keeping the scale local rather than continental makes it much more likely that they'll get caught with their hands in the til, I don't know.
But it's easier to keep a clean house when it's a 2000 ft^2 than when it's a 30 story hi-rise.
A "free market" (supposedly) works by normalizing prices to the point where profit is maximized and no higher.
In the case of "healthcare," the good for sale is "not dying", so a moment's consideration should be all it takes to realize why it is entirely a sellers' market.
There are more things in heaven and earth, than are dreamt of in your philosophy, drinkypoo. There are, in fact, use cases for which virtualization is not particularly appropriate.
As for the remote power... it was determined that it was needed rarely enough that the per-incident "pay the NOC monkey to push the reset button" fee was more cost effective than a dozen remote-controlled power units.
I'd rather that frequency didn't change because someone said "I've made basic sound support a complete clusterfuck, now lets see how I can screw up the boot process."
That's only $5 more than I pay for 10mbps -- or $15 less, if I hadn't decided to tell them to go piss up a rope when they tried to jack the static IP surcharge from $5 to $20...
I don't know how you got +5 for what is quite literally a slippery slope fallacy, but let me explain.
It's not a "slippery slope fallacy" when it's demonstrably historically accurate.

. A better approach, I feel, is to turn PHP on in the first line and don't turn if off until the last line. If you want to send some HTML, use an echo statement.
I feel like someone made Poe's law into a truck, and hit me with it.
I don't think that would work out particularly well, without a lot more granularity than is really feasible. My best friend and I have similar taste in novels, for example, so I'd want to weight his opinion on them pretty highly. On the other hand, I absolutely loathe 99% of his music, and when it comes to tech... he's not exactly a power user (didn't even realize that his STB was network-enabled, much less used the function).
"Social" selling is bad enough with the silly tribe-mindedness that surrounds it now, and while your way might, indeed, solve the spammer problems, I think it would end up with results inferior to just doing away with the entire "review" mechanic altogether.
Google's business has always been ads. I really don't see how sponsored links embedded in results are any more evil than text ads, especially when they're just running them on search results

Your excuses of popularty and being available on cheap hosting makes PHP work for simple developers to write bad code, and has nothing to do with the language being "good" for any project, simple or otherwise. Repeating your incorrect position over and over again will not make it any more true.
Regardless of your pointless metrics, it is a bad language because it objectively flawed in more ways than it has redeeming qualities.

Pretty sure that's been a given for some time (Packt, anyone?)
It does make me wonder if some of the many obvious shills might actually be on the Dice payroll, providing another income path.
Plenty of people didn't, and a lot more were on it via AOL (*shudder*).

Anyone working on a machine in a remote datacenter, for starters. Which is where Debian machines are far more likely to be found, by the way.
Don't feel bad.

No. YOU don't get it. "Useful to Grisnakh" and "well designed" are completely orthogonal concepts.
Hell, even Gary Seven had an NSA ID.
