Excel often fails because you won't know which numbers can be changed without seeing if there's a formula behind them, and you can't tell what the spreadsheet really does until you understand all the formulas. And trying to figure out the formulas is painful if you're not the author.
You find it difficult to select a cell and look in the formula bar to see if there's a formula? I'm an Excel dummy, and even I know that your first notion is absurd.
was it ever profitable? i also wonder how much non-porn content viewing was there because people accidentally viewed it while looking for porn... you know... synergistic browsing.
Good questions. They seem to have a pretty robust ad system that places ads inline with the content. I suspect that a lot of their content is viewed on their app, making ad-blocking difficult. I bet they turned a profit.
Like most others, I think Tumblr will fail with no adult content.
On December 7, 2016, Pebble officially announced that the company would be shut down and would no longer manufacture or continue support for any devices, nor honor any existing warranties.
And to answer someone else's question, YouTube via FireFox or Silk is just as good as the crappy app they used to have. I'm not sure how a webservice is a "workaround," though. It's YouTube in a browser.
Then why the hell aren't all of you doing something about it? Fork the damn product now. I'm sure you're all ten times more competent than Mozilla here on Slashdot, based on what you're all saying. But something tells me all of this high and mighty talk is just the usual calculated excuse to not do anything and be able to blame someone else when things inevitably go badly for the product you use and "love".
Ah, the actual problem, illustrated beautifully: developers/coders don't know how to listen to end-users. They may know how to write code, but their listening skills are almost non-existent. Is it because they live in a bubble, surrounded by other coders? Is it because their skillset just doesn't extend in that direction? Is it because they're guided by priorities (revenue?) other than what their users want/need?
Telling end-users to write code is asinine. You don't hear chefs telling restaurant critics to cook something better their own damn self. You don't see film directors telling movie critics to create their own movie. And you don't see book authors telling book reviewers to write their own novel. But every single time this comes up, you'll see some code writer (or defender of same) pipe up with the advice that if users don't like it, that they're free to fork the project and write their own software. Absolutely ridiculous.
Having compared DVD and Blu-Ray side by side, Blu-Ray's improvements are merely marginal at the best of times, and completely insignificant the rest of the time.
I'm not sure what you were comparing, but, honestly, there's no practical way that a DVD compares to a BluRay. If you had specified HD-DVD, I might have found you a bit credible.
If, for some strange reason, you actually wanted standard definition video and didn't want DTS 7.1 surround sound, then I guess you might be right.
These snuck over the wall and into the garden. Apple has no gate, but Google at least let's you open the gate and install from sources other than the Google Play Store. That's not what happened here, though.
I don't often fly on the cattle cars that Southwest operates, but they're the only domestic airline that I haven't seen a USB port on. Every domestic flight I've taken in the last decade has had power, and most now have nice USB ports in the seat back instead of under your seat.
Try flying on decent airlines that will treat you like a human being. It's well worth the $15 more than those budget airlines charge.
Or, depending where you live, grocery stores don't carry liquor, wine, or beer; I've actually never been to a whole foods that did have alcohol...does such a thing exist?
I've compromised and set an order confirmation PIN. It prevents the XKCD scenario from happening, but the whole family (anyone who has heard me order something) has access, which is acceptable in my situation.
Slashdot Mirror
Yes. I think I might upgrade my S9+ for this reason alone. Reward companies that listen to their customers.

Touchscreen gaming is complete and utter hell. And even worse than a mouse for a repetitive motion injury.
Not to mention the nasty fingerprints.

Just use your firewall it block Vivaldi's access to the internet. Problem solved.
If only I had mod points to give. I'd definitely mod "insightful" and not "funny."
Wait, are you saying I can drag and drop MP3s onto an iPhone now?
Apple hasn't had any innovations that make me want to switch back from Android, but that's good to know.
Bosch is damn good.
Feel the pane!
Whoosh!
Indeed. Redundancy is always good.
Kobo arguably puts out the best eReaders that can handle the most common open source ebook format: EPUB.
WalMart is a cesspool.
I hope it's possible to take advantage of this venture without actually going into a WalMart.

That was when FitBit bought Pebble and killed it.
That's not automated?
And how many different models? An SUV? A sports car?
He makes some great points: https://www.youtube.com/watch?...
I'll second this vote.

If you can't get a 2nd Gen, get a Roku.

I think she was comparing the physical disc side by side - where yes, to the naked eye, they do not look much different and certainly sound the same
Ah, this is true. The oil slick appearance is certainly a marginal improvement, if not completely insignificant.

To call it a "lie" implies some sort of bias. Assumptions are often built in to such statistical analysis. Why is it a lie this time?

I've never seen one that didn't.
