Been using this for years with a lot of the third party lists. It's the best.

Thanks for the link. I'm not a professional programmer but I laughed out loud at The Autistic Gopher Hypothesis.

I don't even use spotify but I logged in just up vote you. The HN hivemind is real.

^ This.

I guess I don't understand the pedantry. To me, everyone has different tastes and is it really hurting you to make what they want? I mean I cook garlic with mozzarella (and usually 4 or so other Italian cheesed blended together) all the time. I'm an American, I think they go well together, the egg sounds repugnant to me, but if you like it, it's not like I am the one eating it. I can understand a cultural history aspect of preservation but leave that to some society dedicated to racial pizza purity not the every day.

TL;DR - Who cares?

I've ordered vegetarian with bacon or bacon and pepperoni or just pepperoni. Why? Because A.) It's almost always cheaper than adding half a dozen vegetables to some other pizza B.) It's also faster to order with less risk of someone getting the order wrong on.

This is an interesting read. Thanks for sharing it.

lobbying is synonymous with legalized bribery.

Thanks for posting this story. I shared it on Stumbleupon (where apparently it hadn't been prior) along with the petition and signed it. I'm a card carrying EFF member but I don't read the site every day.

The lengths they've gone to to hide this is proportional to how bad it will be for the general public.

I admit I lol'd.

I'm not developer but I work in IT. Facebook, Google and others are racing to the bottom and pushing it at the highest levels - even the president is on board. The idea is to flood the market with "coders" and then everyone will make $12/hr. That's your crisis and it's definitely coming.

The website says his method of randomly changing the length of the credits is a step in the right direction. I think that's completely wrong.

THAT is a step in the right direction.

Because IT worker shortage, right? (Now with more flaming hoops!!)

Thanks for the project. I use it at home and work extensively (public education - we have thousands of machines that use it) and have done so for years. It's one of the best examples of free open-source software.

EDIT: I rarely do, but I went ahead and donated $20 (yea, not much, but like I said, public education ;)) via the link someone posted below as well. Keep up the good work!

My city is divided in to monopolies. Where I live specifically is Comcast. If I go to one of their "competitor's" websites and put in my address they will literally say "Sorry we don't service your area, Comcast does" and then auto-redirect me to a Comcast order page. There are no other choices. $80/mo for 25/3.

From Jurassic Park:

Dr. Ian Malcolm: If I may... Um, I'll tell you the problem with the scientific power that you're using here, it didn't require any discipline to attain it. You read what others had done and you took the next step. You didn't earn the knowledge for yourselves, so you don't take any responsibility for it. You stood on the shoulders of geniuses to accomplish something as fast as you could, and before you even knew what you had, you patented it, and packaged it, and slapped it on a plastic lunchbox, and now

[bangs on the table]

Dr. Ian Malcolm: you're selling it, you wanna sell it. Well...

John Hammond: I don't think you're giving us our due credit. Our scientists have done things which nobody's ever done before...

Dr. Ian Malcolm: Yeah, yeah, but your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could that they didn't stop to think if they should.

They're fantastically better than any other insurance I've had. What they cover for my family is easily another income every year. What did you have before?

When I woke up this morning they had sent me and my spouse an email overnight with the same letter that's posted on the anthemfacts.com site. Maybe they don't have your email address?

I work at a public high school. Marzano is currently overseeing the building I work in as our educational "partner". He hasn't set foot in a classroom since the 70s and is utterly clueless.

The article makes some good points and mirrors the experience of many ambitious teachers I've seen ground out of "the system".

Opera Mini goes through their own proxy essentially. Their goal was to minimize mobile bandwidth but the net effect is bypassing censorship. I work at a public high school and this browser is very popular with the kids on their phones for this reason. There is a good article about it here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opera_Mini
